[Paris isn't that bad, come to find out. Confusing as hell how he keeps running into people, but he's an expert in not thinking too deeply about these things. Spike seems to be one of the lucky guys who woke up there speaking French by default, so getting around isn't any trouble. And if the time he's been in Paradisa taught him anything, it's to

On the street because that's how I roll

[itwas_raining]

[Guess who happens to be passing along on the street right at that moment? The flower shop wasn't far from a local bakery that Julia had discovered not too long ago, and that's just where she so happens to be coming from. Paris came with plenty of interesting novelties, and maybe she'd found that the cuisine was one of her favorites.

With an armful of baguettes, she comes to a stop as she catches sight of something a short distance away: a very familiar outline stepping onto a motorcycle. She stands quietly, just watching him for a few moments, a small smile creeping onto her face.

Eventually, though, she decides to interrupt this very tranquil scene and make her presence known by moving to stand in front of the motorcycle. There are pressing questions that need answering.]

Where'd you get this? [Like that, obviously.]

B)

[gottaknockhard]

[Spike is totally okay with this turn of events. It's not often that they work out in his favor, so he has a genuine grin on his face when she walks in front of him. (Paris looks good on her, okay?)]

New job. [That's a ridiculous thing to say, but that's what makes it so amusing. There's no telling if he's seriously considering fulfilling his duties here.] Seems like it's the fastest way to get around.

... why does that sound like it could be a bad rap song

[itwas_raining]

[If she knows him at all, she's willing to place her bets on him not seriously considering to actually be responsible. Her smile widens, like it's some kind of private joke between them, before her eyes move to examine the machine in more detail.]

Faster than walking, at least.

straight up now tell me...

[gottaknockhard]

[It might not have been the first one Spike would have picked out, but at least it's the right color. Anyway, she should know that there's really only one way to examine these things.]

Want to find out?

[onlyanapple]

[You know what Crowley loves? PLANTS. So Crowley will be in ur shop, Spike, looking at ur flowers]

Didn't expect to see you in such a...domestic setting.

[gottaknockhard]

[Ugh. Why do you have to ruin a perfectly salvageable situation.]

Just closing up shop, actually. [Spike has no authority for this, but Crowley doesn't have to know that!]

[onlyanapple]

[Because he's your BEST FRIEND]

Yeah, well, I'll only take a minute. [Taking EXTRA time in browsing now]

[gottaknockhard]

[How did that even happen. Spike would just walk out, because what does he even care about this business, but it's the principle of the thing.]

I'll start the clock.

[huntersdaughter]

[Jo actually needs to pick up a poinsettia plant. It's ridiculous, but she needed to get one and so this is exactly where she's headed to pick it up.]

I'm looking for a ---- [hold up. is that Spike?]

Spike?

[gottaknockhard]

[It's a small city, Spike's been running into all kinds of people... but he kind of wishes he would have run into Jo pretty much anywhere else. Especially when he was just handed a list of orders going out.]

Hey, Jo. [Don't expect him to know what a poinsettia is either.]

[huntersdaughter]

Looks like employment just has a habit of finding you.

[gottaknockhard]

Or something.

[Did you see the bike out front? This is at least a step up from candy.]

[jammin_with_ed]

[When Spike comes out of wherever he managed to find food, he'll find an Edward poking at his motorcycle. What? It looks interesting!]

[gottaknockhard]

[Hey now. Don't get excited, Spike just got that! He's not letting anyone mess it up before he can.

... And then it hits him that Ed is still there. Never really figured out what's up with this.]

What's going on, Ed?

[jammin_with_ed]

[She spins around, grinning at him.]

Spiiike! Edward got Edward's memories back!

[gottaknockhard]

[... Well, that's unexpectedly lucky.]

You did?
