[ Good afternoon, Marina. Have you filled your quota of shirtless, fit men lately? No? Good, cause you're getting another one.

Today, Spike is down at the beach. It's not entirely his own idea, which is evident by the rake he's leaning against but at least it's an excuse to soak up some sun. It's not like he's had much of a chance to do that before. He's currently stealing a small smoke break and seeing as he's bored out of his mind, it's a good time for a network-wide chat. ]

I know I'm at a risk of soundin' like a broken record here but our fearful overlords really don't know what a prison is, do they? 's more like a... one-way ticket resort. And now this party they're throwin'... [ He shakes his head before taking another drag off his cigarette. ]

Makes me wonder if there's anyone 'round here who still knows how to have fun.

[ACTION]

[ It's his last day serving off his first punishment and what better way to spend it than at the beach, fulfilling his second? Okay so maybe there were some bots involved and maybe he was ushered here rather... forcefully but at least he's making the best of it. If the best is slowly getting a sunburn (three hours in the sun after a century in the shade can really screw you over) and very purposefully raking the sand to spell out WANKER.

Anyone's welcome to come down and keep the guy company, poke his sunburn (baby's first!) or just snark in his general direction. ]

[He watches, waiting as the other turns away. A heart beat, two... three then he lashes out with his stick and jabs a red patch of skin lightly. Not enough to even so much as scratch the blonds skin, but it should be enough to draw his attention the burn.]

So much for Vampire's turning to dust. You're just getting some wicked sunburn.

[Also he's totally ignoring the fact you want him gone. In case you didn't notice.]

	[ There's a very undignified flinch and hiss at that jab and he quickly spins around, brows furrowed as he stares at the kid. If he had a heart, it would be racing right about now. ] Oi! What'dya do that for?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2012-12-29 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	[Grinning.] Expectations, remember? Besides, it's really too good an opportunity to pass up. How often do I get to poke a sunburned vampire? [Prodding again and doing his best to keep the stick away from being snatched if possible.] It's only a stick. Not worried are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-29 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	[ Catching him off guard is one thing, but continuing to poke when he's watching? Not going to fly. He keeps his eyes on the stick, swatting it away or making a grab for it. ] Yeah? Let's see how worried you are when I shove this down your throat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2012-12-29 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	[He's just going to flip it swiftly around behind his back and play keep away, taking a step or two back just in case the blond makes a start for him.] Relax. It's not like I'm trying to stake you. Why are your panties in such a wad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-30 01:59 am UTC (link)
	[ That's better. Just keep that well away from him. ] Tch. What'd you expect me to be? Here I am, mindin' my own business and then you come along to poke at me like some bloody zoo animal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is supposed to be your punishment. You really think it's all fun and games? C'mon, it's only fair we get to have a little fun at your expense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-12-30 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	You want to have fun, do you..? [ Low and crisp and predatorial. He picks up the rake he's been using to comb the sand, twirling it around in his hand. Wanna have a go, then? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2012-12-31 12:44 am UTC (link)
	[Helix sort of loosens his stance the moment Spike whips that rake around, a brow quirking softly. Then a small smirk twists his lips and he brings his stick forward in both hands.] You bet. [Okay. He's game. Bring it on blondie.] It's gonna be Red versus Blue. [Snickering at the verbal sunburn jab.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-01 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	You won't be blue for much longer. [ Because he'll beat the snot out of you. No, I don't know either. He's not going to waste much time on clever quips — in a quick strike, he swipes the rake towards Helix's knees in an attempt to knock him over. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well, if he's bruised he does sort of turn a deeper shade of blue, almost black, but... still blue. Nope doesn't really work, he's giving you a strange look there Spike. Course, it's wiped off his face as that rake swipes at his legs. Sand isn't very good for springing, so instead he swings his own stick down to block the claws of the rake. He pushes back and tries to close in.]

	[ If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. With the rake stopped in its path he opts for a kick, once again aimed to knock the kid over. Footing is key and with Helix carrying such a suitable weapon... well, Spike isn't about to take any chances. A quick beat-down and that should be that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-01-02 01:37 am UTC (link)
	[Between momentum and holding that rake at bay, Helix can't switch up his step forward in time to avoid Spike's kick. He does manage to ground himself with the wider stance, taking the blow with a hiss as it connects with the outside of his thigh. He takes a few quick steps back to put distance between them, limping slightly till the sting wears away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Adrenaline seeping like acid into his dead veins, Spike takes this opportunity to get his cocky on. He twirls the rake in his hand once more, pacing like a predator with his blue eyes locked on Helix. Studying. Waiting. ] That all you got? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-01-02 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Hell no. [Smirking. He twirls the stick easily in his hands then bounds a few steps forward and thrusts with the pointy end of his stick, high, but not impossible to block and push up over Spike's shoulder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Their previous spar had a different attitude than what is currently blanketing the sunny beach — it was playful in comparison, if soaked in annoyance and frustration but this is something completely different.

Deathly serious he raises the rake to derail the attack before stepping in to smack the handle against the side of Helix's head. There's no doubt that he isn't holding back this time: this is how he'd fight the Slayer. You wanted to prove yourself, didn't you Helix? ]

[He barely has enough time to get both hands in a good spot with his stick to block the brunt of that blow. Helix may be strong, but a Slayer or a Vampire are stronger still. He manages to absorb some of it but the handle still pushes through his defense and whacks him clear on the side of his face. He grunts, cursing, head thrown to the side a little in an attempt to lessen the blow. He dances back out of range, head bowed with a hiss. He touches his temple and face, dabbing to see if he drew blood anywhere. So far so good, but his one eye is a little squinted as his face stings.

He snarls and rushes in, making himself as small a target as he can once at Spike's center he unleashes a barrage of quick strikes using both ends of his staff.]

[ If his heart could beat, this right here would get his blood pumping. Not quite like China, not quite like New York but close enough to give him a well-needed kick of adrenaline and needless to say he's keeping up well. He spent his entire un-life perfecting his combat skills after all, spent two decades making sure he was good enough for the day he'd finally find a Slayer to slay.

Of course, this would be a lot more dramatic if the bot in charge of overseeing his punishment didn't decide that this was quite enough of tom-foolery. It approaches quickly and efficiently and without much ceremony it tazers the two men. ]

[Helix's own pulse was racing, filtering delicious adrenalin through his system and bringing an all too satisfied smirk to his face. This was good, great even, not quite like sex but damn it felt good. There was nothing quite like the thrill of an honest challenge, a damn good fight. He needed to do this more often, it was better than any damn therapy session any day.

At least... until something small hit his back, near his hip and he was wracked with intense pain. His whole body seized immediately and he crumbled pathetically to the sand, twitching around like an eel out of water. Once it was through he groaned, panting and huffing, curling into a ball and cradling his ribs. They'd healed a bit, to a tolerable level to fight obviously, but THAT was not a good thing to have done. He'd be sore again, yippee.

Just... let him lie here for a little and catch his breath. ]

[ This was not the first time Spike's been hit by a taser. Far from it, actually, but at least this time he's not going to get dragged off to an underground laboratory and wake up with a load of metal scraps lodged in his brain.

At least, he hopes so.

The spastic jitters die down soon enough though and seeing as he has no breath to catch, he pushes himself up to sit on the sand. Thanks for getting that everywhere, by the way. Really. ]

Bloody machines...

[It wasn't Helix's first go round either but it still hurt like a bitch, more so since his ribs were not so great. He slowly picked himself up, still holding his side and wincing. He was a little disheveled from the spasms and he had to shake sand out of his feathers.

A raised mark on his throat peeked out from his shirt before he adjusted his hooded jacket and covered it once more.]

You can say that again.

[Shooting a glare at them and slowly getting up to brush himself off.]

Ruining our fun.

This isn't over, believe me...

[ Half-muttered under his throat and put to a quick stop as that unmistakeable mark grabs his attention by the balls. He watches for as long as it's visible before pushing himself back on his feet, grabbing the rake to continue with his punishment just in case the bots are still watching (they are). ]

...Someone finally had a taste, then.

	[His brows furrow at Spike as he points out his bite wound.] More than a taste. I ended up in the damn hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? [ He chuckles. That improved his mood. ] Who was it, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
