[ THIS IS FORWARD DATED spike would usually do this up on video but given the chaos and just how shitty he looks-- oh, yeah, if you haven't seen spike in a bit there's a reason for it. he looks like death. literally. skinny, sallow, low-energy. he's not even quipping like he should be. he's scarcely been here ninety days, but without blood, he's not healing like he should. these demons are giving him the go around and he doesn't like it. so have a raspy english voice, sounding much tireder than usual, which really everyone should expect given the theme around here. ]

I'll tell you all, I've seen an apocalypse or two in my day. And this? This is a bloody disaster.

Floor 22, Room 17. I've got some weapons and hiding spots, but that's not what I'm on about. I'll see you all in the trenches anyway. [ he takes a breath, he might be smoking. ]

...This blood situation, yeah? For us vamps. [ pauuuuuse ] It's wrong, and I'll tell you why it's wrong. This might be a bloody big ship, but it's going to start seeming a whole hell of a lot smaller if we keep handing over human to them--us. To us.

I don't drink human blood, it's a life choice. Let's use an analogy. Now, I talked to an expert on the subject so let's call 'blood' ... 'heroin.' And let's call bagged blood something they call 'methadone.' That's a drug used to bring someone down off scag, if you didn't know. But it doesn't work, and neither does this. Drinking it from a bag? Well. Just makes someone want the real thing.

Over on the Cyllene, guy name of Jayne told me to look for Dr. Tam up in the med bay? But I'm sorry, doc, and anyone else who might have a hand in that concoction -- I don't trust it. Don't ruddy well trust anyone with a beaker and I've got good reason.

There's got to be another way.

[ he hangs up rather abruptly, it takes a lot to get a rise out of him like this. it took the perfect cocktail of starvation, sleeplessness, nightmares and demons from his homeworld but now he's here and he's mad. and yeah, no that's basically it. ]

His number is eighteen-twenty six— mention I sent you, and that I said to be nice?

[ sorry spike you are a nag proxy now ]

He doesn't have to be nice. So long as he knows his stuff.

[ sarah's characters giving spike recommendations erryday ]

Oh, I know. But tell him I said it, anyway.

[ because she likes bugging bones tbh

also how i roll bb how i roll ]

Your wish is my command.

Oooh, good answer. I like that one.

Most of the lady-types do.

I feel like maybe I should say 'hey' or stick up for my gender, but... nope, it worked.

At least you're honest. Nothing to be ashamed of, really.

Oh, don't pretend men aren't just the same. Where I'm from, we have balls— the kind debutantes get. I know what a little lash batting and 'oh, officer, was I really going that fast? Let me imply you're such a big, strong man and I'm impressed by it' [ not quite marilyn, but much less matter of factly perky than her normal tone. ] can get me out of.

[ the grin is evident in his voice. ] Guilty as charged, really.

Pretty much everybody likes flattery or a little well-done ass-kissing— it's a universal constant.

It's only human, right? Or... you know.

Ex-human. Or non, I guess, but I don't know how well flattery works on aliens— things I never thought I'd say seriously.

It probably depends on the alien.

You know, we could test that theory? Just find aliens and attempt to flatter them.

This place is very, very weird.

[ he laughed a little. ] That it is, luv. That it is.

If you need any help with medbay, let me know? I'm not technically under their umbrella— I guess I have my own little umbrella. Anyway, the point is they're used to me butting in around there trying to smooth out vampire feeding issues, if you want someone else on hand.

...just an offer, no manly pride needed.

Oh, uh. Okay?

Thanks.

It's nothing, but you're welcome anyway.
