001. everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

Phone.
[Spike sounds oddly manic, not that you would know it was odd for him.]

I guess this is like a conference call, huh? So who's on the other end. [a few crickets...] Not sure what to make of all this, but. Haven't seen a phone like this since--[sudden throat clearing]

What do you lot do around here? Go to the drive-in with your steadies and buy big league chew at the game with your pop? It's all just a little [frightening?] too good to be true.

[muttering] Still not sure I'm not dreaming this up. [Or you know, still in a basement losing his mind.]


Action for 1448 Mitchell Road.
[Oh, Krillin, where are you? He'll only be terrified to see you.

He doesn't even know there's anyone else in the house, going to pour himself a bowl of cereal and ruffling up his hair. It feels bizarre and not at all right that his growling stomach actually wants human food.

But it feels good, too.]


Open Action.
[Spike is walking down Mitchell Road, but feel free to meet him anywhere he'll be walking a while. In slacks and a plain blue sweater, he's just, meandering, hands in his pockets as he tries not to feel the remnants of sunlight beat down on his back. It's so strange and wonderful to feel it and yet, what did he do to deserve it. Is this a new kind of Hell dimension where they torture you with kindness.

And then he bumps into you because--without vampire senses he's really the clumsiest person you've ever met. Actually, he's not that smooth with them either.]
--Sorry. [Just make nice with the locals until you get the skinny, he keeps telling himself. Easier said than bloody done. This place was Stepford creepy and twice as annoying.]

[Spike just looks...alarmed.]

Does it speak?
midgardserpent: (keep talking I won't listen)

[personal profile] midgardserpent 2011-08-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'd grin at that, if he were the type to grin. But it is kind of amusing.]

Yess.

[The slight hiss on the s sound is almost involuntary. Not that he minds too much.]

No, I think my feelings were hurt sometime around the time I woke up and found out i'd been moved into Stepford central without my permission. You missed the boat this time, buddy.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well okay then. He shrugs, figuring he could get some information yet.]

I'm Spike.

In the same boat as you, actually. Your demon girlfriend didn't make it out with you, I take it.

Unless she learned how to play hide and seek while I was at work.

Jormungandr.

[At least this guy didn't start off by immediately annoying him. That's good.]

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. [Banter is actually calming him down. He doesn't want to strangle anything anymore. Much.]

This must be one special Hell, someone fluffed up the pillows just for us.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Mouthful. [He's never going to call him that.] Where're you headed?
midgardserpent: (totally not listening at all)

[personal profile] midgardserpent 2011-08-08 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks around for a moment then shrugs.]

Nowhere.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-08 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Mind if I tag along?
midgardserpent: (look at you so clever)

[personal profile] midgardserpent 2011-08-08 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stares at Spike during a moment's indecision. He doesn't particularly like people tagging along. But he's got no destination in mind and no plans and who knows maybe this one won't be as annoying as the other one who's been overly familiar lately.

He shrugs again.]


No.

Yeah, well- [ How about they not talk about Anya. Xander much prefers pretending he actually cares enough to insult you today, Spike. Or really, just insulting something. ]

But they forgot to leave the mint on the pillow, i'm disappointed. I would've paid for better service than this. If I had the option.

[Neal's out for a walk because his new "wife" doesn't seem to be so fond of him. Or really anything, at the moment. Getting out seemed like a good idea.]

Careful. You alright there?
spellbent: (◾️027)

phone

[personal profile] spellbent 2011-08-09 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
... No, I guess not. It's just not a name I'm used to hearing.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Spike blinks, brushing off his pants idly as he looks over and shrugs]

I'll make it.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Right then. [And following Like a following thing. It's one of Spike's better skills.] How long've you been around here, mate?

voice

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He's arching an eyebrow on his side of the line, and he can't resist even the childish retort.] Sure that's not all you pay for.

[identity profile] blueeyesncharm.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Neal nods.]

You look a little lost. You new here?

What can I say, I like the attention. [His tone is really more self-deprecating than anything]
midgardserpent: (the shit I have to put up with)

[personal profile] midgardserpent 2011-08-09 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He meanders down the road. He really has no clue where he's going. He's just going.

And the question catches him off guard. He had never really had a need for timekeeping before, but now that he was here, and in human form... he had noticed the timekeeping and had sort of gotten the hang of it by now. It still took him a moment to figure out how long he had actually been here.]


...Two monthss.

[And he was probably never going to get the hang of that t sound. He hated it.]

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Was it that obvious. [he snarks, rolling his eyes]

[identity profile] blueeyesncharm.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Relax. Just trying to help.

[identity profile] rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[a beat] Right. It's just a lot to take in.

[identity profile] blueeyesncharm.livejournal.com 2011-08-09 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'll give you that.

[He offers his hand.]

Nick Halden.
