video, the first } gordon ramsay eat your heart out

[allbloodyhail]

[Spike puts his booted feet up on the table in the lounge, puffing idly on a cigarette. He kinda didn't care about the recirculated air thing given that he didn't actually need to breathe. Instead he's just going to get right to it, leaning over the feed.]

Can't believe what the kitchen here calls 'hot wings.' More like spicy mystery meat, if you ask me. Which you didn't, but I'm telling you anyway. Because there's not one bloody thing else to do up here. Can only walk round in circles so many times before you start getting dizzy. Not that I've done that...

[Instead he's been riding the elevators up and down for the better part of four hours.]

Say, anyone know how to play cribbage? I'd settle for a rollicking game of Operation, at this rate.

[He's away from the screen just a moment, coming back up without his cigarette.]

I know. Charades. Yeah? [He stands up and sets the device far enough away to catch his expression. First word. A person. He flaps his arms like wings then rearranges his brow to hang over his eyes. See what he's doing here... No, probably not. He puts his hands together like prayer and draws a halo over his head with smoke from his cigarette (that he quickly puts down again, off screen).

There's a pause, and then Spike rolls his eyes. He got bored of his own boredom-curing movement.] You know the guy. He's not really on security, is he?

[The video ends with a slightly melodic laugh and a hoo sound. As in, hoo boy, that's a knee-slapper.

You're welcome, Ataraxion.]

Bowie? [A beat, but then calmly:] Nah, luv. My impression of him is much, much different.

[majestyofthethrone]

Are you talking about Castiel?

[jilt]

Charades. Now there's a game I thought had been lost to the ages.

[ being from the past is hard yo ]

[allbloodyhail]

Cribbage is getting up there too. Thought we all could use a little nostalgia. [Oh wow that stupid comment is hitting close to home. ABORT ABORT ABORT]

Yeah? Sounds like a regular party. [That I'm not invited to D8]

[onsilksheets]

You really need to work on your charades skills. [A beat.] Better yet, don't ever do it again.

[Don't mind her trolling. She's not in a good place right now.]

[allbloodyhail]

...Someone's grumpy. [He is unfazed by your trolling, Bela.] Admit it, it was a good show.

[unkindness]

[Seven just watches him flail with a confused/curious head tilt. How does this game even work? What are you doing? She does not know.]

That is 'charades'? What is the aim of this activity?

[Aside from looking crazy, 'cause you've got that already.]

[allbloodyhail]

...To guess what I'm mimicking. You're not really supposed to talk, though.

[tumbleweeds]

There are chickens.

[ Spike, meet Faith's roommate. Hi. ]

If you touch them we'll skin you.

[allbloodyhail]

Then why'd you tell me?

[supfirehawk]

Yeah, you're going to have to give a name to go with that act, though they let just about anybody into that department.

[allbloodyhail]

Exactly my point. He's tall? Dark. Broody. Can't string more than a sentence together without a long, put-upon sigh...

[humanistic]

The first thing you came up with was cribbage?

[w o w .]

Could spend your time in space trying t' get better taste in games, or you could keep sucking at charades. Either way.

voice

[allbloodyhail]

Yeah, well...! [Ugh. He's just not even going to defend himself Mitchell. Fuq that.] I'm sure your tastes are so much better. Out with it, then. What's there to do around this barren space wasteland?

[slipperysoul]

Yeah, he really is.

[ so deadpan it's not even ironic. because it's not... ironic. ]

[allbloodyhail]

[Spike just starts laughing, manic. He's already been on this ship too damn long, clearly.]

What a bloody loser, am I right?

all video all the time

[withlace]

You could walk around in circles inside a holodeck.

yes good

[allbloodyhail]

I might get crispy. [He is really really pale if you haven't noticed. Oops.]

[askedtobe]

[ Wow, Spike. Those are some impressive charades skills. ]

Might want to stick with cribbage.

[allbloodyhail]

[Thattaboy Peter. You walked right into his trap...]

You would know how to play. Come on, I'll even go easy on you for a round.

voice.

[wigs]

Those all sound like very strange games. [Though she can agree that the food is terrible here.]

voice.

[allbloodyhail]

What games aren't though, am I right? My favorite used to be kitten poker. You don't play cards, do you?
