Day 196 | Evening [Action|Video|Open]
Greetin's Marina.

I jus' wanted t' announce that th' Rusty Spoon will be undergoin' a name change t' Merlotte's an' will be officially open as of right now. As in all our construction is finally done.

I was looking' t'celebrate tonight an' I figure after all of th' therapy some of y'all could really use a drink er'two. This one especially goes out to everyone who helped me put everythin' together and t'make this possible. Thanks for all your hard work!

I'd really appreciate y'all comin' in and at least seein' th' menu or takin' a load off. I have a pool table an' y'kin play cards or jus' plain socialize and cure what ails ya. We made some finger foods and bits o'stuff t' sample from th' menu too.

So stop on by an' I promise ya won't have t'spill yer guts unless it's t'the porcelain goddess.

[Okay so he's not the best to be talking publicly to people but hey. It's only slightly awkward right? It's a little funny right?]

((ooc: Go ahead and treat this like any mingle. Sit at the bar, play pool, drink, nibble food to eat or dance (just this once, one of his rules is no dancing)! There is a table set up with tid-bits of burgers, or hot dogs or chili or whatever sort of southern/comfort/american diner foods you could think of. Help yourself! Threadjacking and such is encouraged. Have fun!

notes to his staff, feel free to assume you are there to help, helped earlier to set up, or will help after to clean up, or just there to have fun. He is a-okay with a minimal staff for the even so that all of you can celebrate. But if others are just super willing to help out he will not say no.))

	I can still think of one way of handlin' everything that would be ten times better then punchin' the daylights out of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Wait... what are you thinking Spike. His brows furrow before a look of disgust crosses his face and he shakes his head.] Not with you. A woman. [Ew. Ew. Yup still disturbed by that thought. No homo.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-12 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Keep it that way. [ And since they've already talked about this to some extent and Spike can't exactly watch his stories anymore. ] So? Got anyone in mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-13 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Why would you even think that? [Looking a little incredulous at that question. Why would he--okay yes. Maybe a few he wouldn't mind spending time with...] No. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-13 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Who knows with you? All those daft ideas you get in your head. [ Like being friends or offering up a fresh meal. Really, Sam. ] Huh. Guess I should stop tellin' Buffy what an upstandin' guy you are in that case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His brows furrow slightly.] Since when does not thinin' with my penis mean I'm being a jerk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Meanwhile, his brow quirks. ] That's not what I said now, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-14 11:46 am UTC (link)
	And wait... you-- [Backing up a sec, trying to wrap his head around what Spike said and whether or not he was joking.] You've been telling her things about me? [Good things Sam.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 11:47 am UTC (link)
	[ Smirk. ] Your name might've come up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-14 11:52 am UTC (link)
	Was she talkin' about me? What did you tell her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 12:03 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, this and that. You know, just a chat between two old enemies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-14 12:06 pm UTC (link)
	[He frowns.] So, you weren't helpin' me out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 12:12 pm UTC (link)
	Didn't say that. [ Actually, he was helping a lot more than one would think. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-14 12:33 pm UTC (link)
	... why are you helping me out? [Not that he's complaining! It's just... curious. Spike was saying he's not that nice a guy. Even if they are something close to friends he didn't expect him to ...well, try and sell him to the slayer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	It's something to do. Keep th' Slayer from gettin' too caught up in her slayin' ways. [ Mmnyep. ] But if you're not interested I guess there's no point, is there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-12-14 12:38 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't say I'm not interested. I jus' said I wasn't exactly interested in sleepin' with anyone. [That is such a lie.] That don't mean I don't want somethin' else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 12:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Calling your bullshit, Sam. But sure, keep up the delusion. ] So go for it then. What's stoppin' you? She's into older men though, so maybe you don't have as much of a chance as I thought... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It's only partially bullshit! He's not JUST thinking of sleeping with almost every girl in marina! Just... he DOES want something more than just sex ya know. But... JUST SEX would also be good. He can do friends with benefits.]

Older... [Oh. Figures. No he should have seen that one coming.]

Jeeze. [Looking kind of disappointed here. Thanks to his experience with Sookie he is sort of feeling like he doesn't have much of a chance. Not that that stops him from flirting anyway. It just seems like he's going to be reaching for the stars again.]

Oh, come on. You can't pretend to be all hopeful and believe in th' next great love of your life an' then turn around and give up just cause she isn't throwin' herself at your feet! Stop bein' so pathetic or I'm going to have to hurt you.

[ Might want to tell him to keep it down a bit. He's not drunk and loud or anything, but he really doesn't care who hears either. ]

	[Catching that, giving a shifty eye around the bar with tension in his shoulders before he socks Spike in the shoulder.] Would you keep it down already? [Growling softly.] I'm just... I know her type. If she tends t'fall for your kind I don't stand a chance. There's no way I can even compare to a Vamp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He snickers but actually does lower his voice. Not to a whisper or anything, don't be ridiculous, but low enough to not draw the attention of the entire room. ]

She's been with regular blokes too, y'know. [ Well. One, far as he knows. ] But you're not regular, are you Sam? Who knows, maybe it's th' animal part she's into.

Besides... if she's been with me, I don't see why she wouldn't be with you. Better fit for it, too.

	In my experience, that part of me is not a selling point. It tends to scare people away. [Wait. What. Taking a literal step back on that dropped bomb.] You what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-14 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	If slime demons can get laid, so can you. [ Why is he even talking about that. It's true though. Damnit, Dru. ] Right? I don't get it either, but apparently that's what th' future's got in store. [ Scoff. ] Better you than me, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Making a slight face at slime demons, just the right curl of a lip in disgust.]

Yeah, well, the truth's never worked for me. I gotto keep that hidden or people leave.

[Even if Sook and a few others have told him he should have said something before everything...]

So... you don't have feelings for her? [ANY feelings. Even want-to-stick-my-dick-in-it-once feelings.]
