action for 1652 Albright Lane.
[ Upon waking, Xander... rolls onto the floor. Which yes, is a rude awakening, but it's not like he's done never it before, a mess of sheets and flailing limbs. However, it's the room he's in that makes him flop around and get on his feet. Which is when he notices that there was someone else in his bed. ] Oh god

action; after their phone conversation

[rudolphofvamps]

Off the lawn, Harris. I just watered it.

[And here's Spike, standing in front of his creepy Stepford house, hands shoved into his creepy Stepford slacks.] You'll muck it up.

action;

[toomanly]

[ Wait, what- Xander starts to pay attention again and he looks up at Spike and just.. looks really confused. ]

Are you sure your wife didn't water your lawn for you? I thought you would've melted, it's kinda sunny out.

[rudolphofvamps]

[He holds out a hand in the sunlight and shrugs.]

Different dimension, different rules, I'd wager. [Or maybe he's just human. He doesn't exactly feel like getting into that, though.]

action;

[toomanly]

[ Xander is so suspicious of your life. He's just going to stand on the edge of your front lawn and... look irritated. ]

Doesn't surprise me one bit that a town like this is vampire proof. Do you even have to be invited in anymore? [ yeah, he's pointing at you now, Spike. Be afraid. ] Don't think you can barge in on dinner anytime you want, Spike. I have hungry mouths to feed. And yours isn't one of 'em.

A sock hop is like a dance party, only much less uncouth.

[toomanly]

Really? It sounds much more couth than a dance party. Everything about the 50's sounds... couth.

Except for the part about the socks, that doesn't have a real party-ring to it.

phone; i already cant take this

[c_o_u_r_a_g_e]

Tom Cruise might certainly disagree.

phone; so ridiculous i can't jafkds;

[toomanly]

You're gonna take Tom Cruise's side? I don't now if I can compare to the top gun.

[fireandiceland]

You've basically got it right, but I don't think demons have anything to do with it.

This is Mayfield. Don't drink the milk.

Phone

[toomanly]

What's wrong with the milk? Do they put something in it- a tracking device? They already know where we live.

[fireandiceland]

It's poisoned, The one the Milkman delivers; if you buy milk from the store it's safe.

[toomanly]

What's the Milkman doing poisoning the milk? Think the guy would want to keep his job, Milkmen always get the best dirty jokes.

[perfektsymmetry]

[You manahged to turn the corner and run right into the paper boy! Be glad he wasn't on his bike today, at least. Some papers goes spilling out of his bag, along with some interesting pamphlets.]

A-Ah! Sorry, I-I guess I wasn't paying attention.

[toomanly]

[ Oh, crap, Xander's clumsiness really does have a habit of turning around and biting him far too often. He just sort of stands and cringes for a few seconds, watching papers scatter. ]

Sorry, man- you and me, both. [ Kneeling down to starting picking up papers, he hesitates a few seconds later on the welcome letter, already starting to skim it. ] --Why is it always the mayor?

[perfektsymmetry]

[Crowe starts scooping everything up.] N-No, it's -- I'm sorry? Oh. Ah, you should really ask "Why is it always the creepy little girl?" Like something from an old horror movie or something… Um. A-Are you new in town?

[toomanly]

[ He's still skimming so he only catches the last few words. ] You know what, i've lived through enough horror movies to know if it's not the little girl herself, it's the mayor telling the little girl what to do.

But I, uh- [ he finally looks up ] I'm new as of this morning.

[iheartcabbage]

What's your hurry? It's really not that bad of a town. You know, once you get over the Stepford Smilers. ...And the almost monthly psychological horrors the big bad in charge throws at us.

[phone]

[toomanly]

Really not that bad, they say. It's only gonna hurt a little bit, they say.

Yeah, well I say bring it on. I've taken on a couple big bad's myself, and my sanity's still intact.

[phone]

[iheartcabbage]

Oh, yeah. Great idea. Go get yourself killed right off the bat. Not that it really matters, since you'll kind of just... wake up in that bed the next day. Awfully nice of them to keep us from escaping that way, huh?

[phone]

[toomanly]

So it's like a video game. How many lives do we get before it's game over for good?
