[ 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. ]

	[She just sort of smirks at his 'Americans' comment. Her brow furrows at his 'explanation' even with the hand gestures.] It means...[So much confusion but it's easy to see the moment she 'gets' it because she goes bright red and her eyes go wide.] Oh! I mean...OH! That's...that's probably not going to get you any brownie points with the wardens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe not. [ Shrug. ] Not exactly lookin' to suck up to them either... I'm only out here 'cause it beats gettin' tazered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-02 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Ought to hope so. Ain't much that don't beat gettin' tazered. [She's actually been tazered a few times. It's part of the whole X-men training. She's also amused at Spike's word choice.] Don't think we met. I'm Rogue. [She doesn't hold her hand out to shake his though. In fact, she tucks her first two fingers into her back pockets.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ To no one's great surprise, Spike's been at the wrong end of a taser more than once in his life. ] Spike. [ He gives her a once-over, curious. ] You don't exactly look th' type that'd piss someone off enough for that kind of treatment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rogue shrugs again, a little bashful and a bit embarrassed at the whole thing.] It was for trainin' for this group Imma part of back home. We try to help out 'cause our world ain't exactly safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What kind of training is that? Not much you can do if you're just wrigglin' on th' ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's s'posed to help us learn how to avoid it or function through it since I'll probably be the first response from humans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure I am. [Bit defensive.] I'm a mutant. My dna's a bit different from most humans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-14 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Is that so. [ Very interesting. He has to wonder... ] Different how, exactly? You look pretty human to me, but looks can be deceiving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Rogue bites her bottom lip and glances around. It's not a secret and, in her experience, people here take it fairly well. It's still a little scary to say it.] When I touch people...I suck the life force outta 'em along with any powers they've got. I don't mean to, it's just somethin' that happens when my bare skin makes contact with someone else's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-15 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	Practical. Inconvenient maybe, but it sure sounds like you got some pretty good perks. [ Pause. ] And what if they don't have a life force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It ain't all bad 'long as I'm willin' to hurt somebody over it. [She shrugs a little] Don't know. Ain't ever run into somebody that didn't have one 'less they were a corpse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He gives her a look before glancing back at himself, bare chest and all. When his attention returns to her it comes with a complementary lewd smirk and he shifts his weight as if he's offering himself up. ] Be my guest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She doesn't miss that lewd smirk and it occurs to her that if he wanted to hurt her, if her power doesn't work, he could. She's cautious when she reaches out, fingertips touching his chest at first before she lays her palm flat against him. His skin is warm from the sun but it still feels different somehow than someone with a proper body temperature.]

You don't have a heart beat. At all.

[Bit fascinated as she says this.]

	Surprise, surprise. [ He watches her expression intently. There's a bit of a tingle but so far he can't feel any ill effects. ] I don't breathe either, y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's, surprisingly to her, not getting much of anything either. There's no rush of power, no rush of memories.] Sorta noticin' that one. [Her palm is still flat against his chest.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
