012 [ accidental video | location: hyperion hotel ] a kick in the teeth is good for some

Oct 14, 2010 19:51

Spike is sitting on the floor in the Hyperion lobby hunched over and concentrating hard. He's holding a deck of cards, and several other piles are in front of him on a foot stool in the solitaire set-up. He moves an ace up and stares at the cards for a little while before flipping three down. Then he moves the cards around again. This continues for ( Read more... )

[Buffy does not approve of this treatment of tables, even if they're not strictly speaking (or at all) hers.]

Spike, don't take it out on the furniture.

The table survived, love. I don't suppose I could take you up on that sparring offer now, could I?

[This is a thoughtful pause for all of two seconds. Buffy's been feeling equally restless lately, after all.]

Well, I did have a productive nail-painting session planned, but I guess I can change it up. Want me to fly over to the hotel?

Yeah, that sounds good. Though we probably shouldn't do it in here. Apparently, Angel's opposed to holes in the wall.

Which is understandable. [She's not a big fan of structural damage, herself.]

So are there any convenient little abandoned houses nearby, or did you have somewhere else specific in mind? [...which is said in a fairly tongue-in-cheek knowing sort of way.]

[It's nice to know her mind goes the same place when he suggests sparring.]

Can't say I've thought of anywhere, but I'm sure we can find something appropriate.

[It's slightly difficult for her mind to go anywhere other than that place, given their history. Not that she'd ever want to repeat that exact experience, because it was pretty horrible. This, however, should be totally different.]

Okay, I'll be there in a little while, I just need to change into something more spar-y.

[No, neither of them want that. They can keep the violent passion, but there can be flirty comments instead of barbs.]

I'll be waiting outside.

Buffy probably makes a rare sight as she lands just outside the hotel - a woman in sweatpants and a tank top, with her hair all tied up in preparation for a workout - all perfectly normal, except for the flying. Looking slightly windswept, she smiles as her feet touch the ground and she greets Spike.

"Here's me," she states, just in case he hadn't noticed, invading his personal space to give him a kiss hello.

"Mm, yes, there's you," he says, looping his arms around her waist as he kisses her back. "I hope you don't start all your fights like this. I'd get jealous."

"Only when I'm fighting the more attractive demons," she replies jokingly, before extricating herself gently from his arms in order to get herself into a slightly more business-like frame of mind.

"So, I saw a big warehouse thing not far from here when I was flying over. Want to check it out?"

He smirks. "That works out well enough. Most demons are pretty ugly."

He reaches for her hand. "Sounds perfect. Lead the way."

"Great," she nods, linking her fingers comfortably with his as she starts walking. "It should be just a couple of blocks away."

...and a couple of blocks later they're approaching aforementioned nondescript warehouse thing. "Looks pretty deserted..." Buffy observes, noting the lack of Extras around, then glancing up at Spike. "Also pretty locked," she adds, raising an eyebrow at the padlock on the chainlink fence.

[ooc: hope the handwaving is okay! Poke me if you want me to change anything.]

Spike smirks. "Oh no, whatever shall we do?" He grabbed the padlock and yanked it open. It gave way pretty easily and he pushed open the gate, holding it open with a smile. "After you."

"You're such a gentleman," she says in a faintly ironic manner, as she slips through the gate in front of him, looking amused. "Most guys just pull out chairs, but you even take care of the breaking and entering."

"Never let anyone claim I don't know how to treat a lady." He goes in after her and closes the the gate behind him, tossing the ruined padlock to the ground.

He looks around as they walk into the warehouse. It certainly fits the bill. They can fight as much as they want here and probably not disturb anyone. The person who locked the place up to begin with might be upset, but there isn't much in it, and from the state of the boxes and machines in there, he's guessing that what is in there isn't very important.

"Ready, love?"
