Does Manic Panic make AK-47s?

Jan 22, 2008 23:44

Spike was sweating and tired, but in a fairly good mood as he headed back toward his cave after several hours of working out. He'd just have himself a bit of a rest, a smoke, and then run up to the compound for a shower before dinner. Then maybe he'd take a bit of a walk, swing past Buffy's place on his way to see what Trance was up to ( Read more... )

"Oh. My. God."

It was love at first sight, pure and simple. The truest, deepest love imaginable, and Karen was hit by it like a bag of bricks. She stood and stared, her mouth open, eyes wide and full of awe.

She barely even noticed the man, except to ask...

"Is there more where that came from?" And she stared at the packets of bleach, smiling beatifically.

Spike looked up and raised an eyebrow. "As these have just arrived, I couldn't tell you." Something about her almost reminded him of Dru, as he regarded her. Maybe the somewhat vacant expression.

If she thought he was going to share, though--he'd set her straight. Even if he had to use small words.

"Are they yours? You should always use a deep conditioner if you bleach your hair," Karen said chattily. "I do. What's your favorite brand? I like Pantene Pro-V."

"The box had my name on it, so I'm going with yeah. They're mine." There was a bit of a warning, 'back off' note in his voice as he said it. "In this place?" Spike snorted and shrugged. "I use whatever I c'n find." He went back to the box and then added in a low voice "But back home I liked the Aussie stuff." He glanced at the girl. "Know the one I mean? Purple bottle? Three-minute Miracle, and all?"

Trance had an idea what bleach was because of all the jokes that Harper had made about Beka's natural color, so when she heard the familiar voice and the words, she walked over to investigate.

"So you're not a natural blonde, then," she said by way of a greeting.

fangyandgrr January 24 2008, 09:00:34 UTC

Spike looked up and snorted, running his fingers through his not-as-blond-as-he'd-like hair. "S'more natural than I like it, honestly." But now he could fix that. Oh yes. And he would. "And before you hear different from anyone else--I started the look. Idol got it from me."

purplensparkly January 28 2008, 19:12:01 UTC

Trance blinked at him. "I don't know who that is, you know." She moved closer, pullnig the hair up enough to look at the roots. "That's your natural color? I don't think it's all that bad."

She winked at him. "Of course, I'm vain enough that I was able to change my appearance by mere thought. Are you going to need help with the bleach?"

"Ask the jukebox. ...Course, then you'll probably have to spend hours listening to Pat Benatar, just cos the bloody thing is cruel. And I know cruel. Kind of got to admire the thing's willingness to cross the line." He plucked a box from the top and got to his feet, shrugging. "Could use, prolly, yeah. I mean, I' manage, but if you're volunteering..." He grinned, tossing the box into the air a few inches and catching it.

It was amazing how a bit of peroxide could really make a bloke's day look up.

'Patrol' was kinda putting it loosely. Her IPD shifts should have been called 'Walk Around and Be Ridiculously Bored' because that was really what she was doing. It gave her time to name all the states in order, though, and if she wanted to play a rousing game of 'name that tree,' then she was all kinds of ready.

She was almost happy to see Spike's fading tortilla chip head. Either he'd be an ass and she could kick the blond off of his head, or he'd be civil and they could... talk or something.

Ugh. Whatever.

She came up behind in and looked down into the crate.

"Don't pretend like you've never seen that stuff before," Buffy said, her boredom and a bit of laughter both apparent and rounding out her voice.

fangyandgrr January 24 2008, 09:03:51 UTC

Spike froze for a fraction of a second, then turned a lazy grin up to Buffy. "Oh, I'm not pretendin' I'm a natural blond, Slayer." It was rather hard to pretend that here, anyway. Lemon juice and sunlight just didn't get the job done the way peroxide did. His grin shifted into a smirk as he added, "You ever use this brand, then? Cos I've not heard of it."

Of course, Spike knew just how natural Buffy's blonde was, and they both knew it.

Xander had been wandering, not sure what to do, but he couldn't hide his good mood. He was smiling and even attempted whistling a few times as he walked, hands in his pockets.

When he saw Spike up ahead of him looking at something intently. He moved up close to the ex-vamp so he could peer over his shoulder. "I think the island is trying to tell you your roots are showing. I didn't wanna say anything, but at least now when I call you the Bleached Wonder, I won't be doing it only for old times sakes." He grinned teasingly as he came around from behind to look into the box and the colors caught his eye. "Oh! Hey!" He pulled out one of the boxes, titled Hot Hot Pink, and held it out for Spike. "I think this is SO your color."

fangyandgrr January 24 2008, 09:09:40 UTC

Spike had been too interested in the bleach to notice there was anything else there; when Xander held up hot pink hair dye he rolled his eyes. What did he need that for? Especially pink. ...Not that he couldn't pull it off.

"Yeah, could use a touch-up, I'll admit," he agreed with a faint smirk, running his fingers through his hair. "Sweet of you to notice, though, Harris. It's the little things that show you care, you know?" He snatched the box from Xander's hand and turned it over, examining it. "Think this is more your colour," he murmured, looking up at Xander and dropping the pink dye back into the crate. "Then you could look like a giant walking candyfloss." He started counting up the boxes of bleach as he added under his breath, amused, "Might even get you a girl, if she's not too bright..."

scoobys_heart January 24 2008, 17:02:46 UTC

"I always care when I'm insulting you Bleach Breath." Xander said sweetly as he continued to look through the box, occasionally swiping a box of bleach to mess with Spike's counting.

"Oh yes, Hot Pink, so me. Nah I think I have more of a," He lifted out a box and read the name, "Electric Lizard. What do you think?" He held it up next to his hair and made a face.

He knew Spike had just insulted him even if he'd barely heard it. He had a sense for it. "What are that Capitan Peroxide?"

fangyandgrr January 25 2008, 00:29:59 UTC

Spike glanced up after a minute and rolled his eyes. "Put 'em back, Harris. They're mine."

He barely spared a glance as Xander suggested the green for himself, but it was all he could do to hide a smirk. Xnder liked the Electric Lizard, did he? That was worth remembering, perhaps. He wondered how Trance felt about harmless practical jokes.

"Nothin'. Go on about your business now, Scooby Snack."
