[ 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. ]

	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)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-18 03:26 am UTC (link)
	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 smirks. My my... ] Now you have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She hesitates, giving him a confused look.] Ain't sure I'm followin' long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm dead. No life force in me, as it were. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She gapes at him for a moment, unsure what the appropriate reaction was supposed to be.] Can I--I mean would you mind if I...[She holds up a bare hand, wiggling her fingers] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-25 12:14 am UTC (link)
	[ 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)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-26 01:41 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-27 01:40 am UTC (link)
	[ And he's not making much of a move to take it away from that prime spot. He will however glance down briefly before looking at her again, amused. ] Like what you touch, love? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-27 04:38 am UTC (link)
	[Her face turns bright red and she snatches her hand away.] I just...I ain't...most people I can't touch 'em like that. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-29 02:05 am UTC (link)
	[ He chuckles a bit at her reaction, voice softening just a tad when he speaks up again. ] 's alright. Go on, if you want to. I know what it's like. [ Sun and all that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She hesitates, watching him carefully, uncertain if there's a catch and what it is if there is one. After a second, she sort of casually reaches up and puts her hand on his shoulder.] Thanks.

[If he continues to be friendly, she'll probably be rather touchy in the future just because she can.]

It's...weird? I guess. I sorta remember people havin' body heat...you know? And you...you're warm from the sun, but it's a different sorta heat. Am I makin' it weird for you?

	chipswiththat 2013-01-29 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	[ For once, there isn't a catch. Sure, he can be a complete dick for his own amusements sake but he isn't one for no reason at all and right now... he doesn't have a reason. He does understand what it's like, finally getting something you couldn't have before. Besides, it's pretty harmless. ] Nothin' weird about it. [ Shrugs. ] I'm dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-30 04:46 am UTC (link)
	[He gets a big smile for that.] I'm sorry? I mean...I don't know if that's somethin' you're supposed to say. Is it recent? [She still has her hand on his shoulder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-30 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Little over a century. I kind of prefer it this way, actually. Bein' alive is over-rated. [ And he's still letting her. No thoughts of ill effects here. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-01-30 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Her brow furrows a little at that, confusion etching itself on her features as she moves to running her fingertips over the curve of his shoulder to the top of his arm and back. Her touch is very deliberate and it's obvious she's absorbing all the nuances of touch that she can.] How so? I mean...I wouldn'ta guessed that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-01-31 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's a pretty sweet deal, when you think about it. I can't get sick, can't drown... got more power than I know what to do with. [ Smirk. He reaches up to grab her hand, gently directing it back to where his unbeating heart lies. ] Only thing that can kill me is a stake right through here. An' decapitation of course, but that kills practically everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-02-01 02:41 am UTC (link)
	[She presses her hand against his heart, looking up at him.] Guess that ain't a bad deal then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-02-01 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ A quirked brow, a cock of the head. There's a lot more to it than what he's told her but there's no need to scare her off. ] It got its perks. What about you? Suckin' th' life out of people... is there more to it than that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ikindalikeit 2013-02-02 01:54 am UTC (link)
	[She shrugs a little.] If you got powers, I get 'em too. A coupla times I got hurt and I woulda died, but I know this guy that's got regenerative powers. I took his powers and healed myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
