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.]

So talk to the bosslady and crash it, dumbass.

[ watching buffy and spike and angel be weird at each other actually sounds hilarious

faith is queen of awesome ideas ]

We could use more people who don't suck in a fight, anyway.

[Was Faith inviting him... to their security party. Oh god what's happening he doesn't understand.]

...Yeah? What's there to fight, anyway? Space-weasels?

[ explaining her thought process is for losers and everyone just knows what she means anyway right of course right ]

These jacked up looking devil dog things, once. Then like, mutant rats. [ a beat. ] Pirates, one time.

Re: video »

[allbloodyhail]

Heard about the pirates. Well. Sounds like we all fit right in then.

[stacked]

Like I said, just go talk to the boss. Tell her I said you're an asshole but you're worth it in a fight, she'll hook you up.

[ faith you have not explained who the boss is yet ]

[allbloodyhail]

...Who's this mysterious boss lady then? Not that I want in. Just.

Wouldn't hurt to have something to do.

[stacked]

--shit, right. Tyke, 001 » 011. She'll hook you up.

[ faith snorts, but it's good humored. ]

Dude, little advice from somebody who's been here a while? Shit's gonna suck harder and faster if you pull the loner thing. Bosslady doesn't let anybody's beef mess with the job, anyway.

[ faith kind of worships the ground tyke walks on. ]

[allbloodyhail]

I'll get in touch.

[There's an uncomfortable pause. Spike's always lonely, but he knows that isn't what Faith means.]

...And I'm not pulling any cards, alright. Just trying to get along.

[stacked]

Yeah, whatever. Seriously not looking to hold hands and talk about our childhoods here, just... this place is shitty, and it's shittier if you're pulling all-nighters with your own head.

I mean I have a roommate, and I don't do roommates. Just for what it's worth or whatever.

[allbloodyhail]

You're saying I should get a flatmate? [He's trying to make sense of this okay. Stop being nice to him OMG.]

[stacked]

Your life. Just saying if I'm up for it shit sucks pretty much.

[ at least she's matter of fact about her lack of social skills or something. ]

[allbloodyhail]

I believe you. [He looks a little grim before shrugging.] Especially with Sir Broodsalot here.

[stacked]

[ faith snorts, shaking her head. ]

He wants to talk feelings, sometimes. [ feelings ftlog. ]

[allbloodyhail]

More like, all the times. Bloody poufter.

[stacked]

Pretty sure him and B are doing the endless drama thing in space, but I'm just trying not to see that shit.

[allbloodyhail]

It's none of our business, right? [He tries to keep it bland, indifferent even. But there's an underlying bitterness there, and he thinks he has a real reason to feel it in either direction. He's done a lot for either side and while he didn't actually EXPECT recognition...

It would be nice.]

[stacked]

Yeah, plus it kinda makes me wanna heave.

[ faith just wants them both to love her best. ]

[allbloodyhail]

Can't say I disagree.

[And ayup he feels that feel too, Faith. With all his dead heart.]

[stacked]

'Least they're not boning.

[ good god that's all. ]

[allbloodyhail]

...Yeah, let's thank our lucky stars for that.

[ he's so not getting into his ~special relationship~ with one buffy summers. nope. ]

[stacked]

Last thing this place needs is the big guy's evil twin, anyway.

[allbloodyhail]

[ oh god oh god shut up faith ]

...Think I liked it better when they were ignoring each other.

[stacked]

Yeah, me too.

...I mean it about talking to Tyke. She's a hardass, but she's fair down to the freaking ground.

[ how does faith shot normal compliments she can't even ]

[allbloodyhail]

I'm on it, Faith.

[ he goes about trying to sound grateful here. how does spike shot anything tbh. ]

...Ta, for the recommendation and all.

[stacked]

Long as you don't try to hug me over it like the big guy, we're all good.

[ they're the awesomest txt it ]
