[ He's sure of it now. Not that it matters — not that he cares — but the Dome does seem particularly Scoobie free. Buffy's gone and she took the lit'le bit and that mangy mutt with her. Sam's been missing even longer and with that he's plum out of moral influence. It's a relief in a way. It allows him to not think so hard about that sad flicker of a soul he's got somewhere out there in the world. It's freedom but just as much abandonment. Angel's come and gone and now the last sliver of familiarity disappeared. The last man standing from Sunnydale and he has to wonder... did they find a way home?

Did he get left behind?

It's not something to dwell on in any case. Not when there's hunting to be done and without a Slayer in the dome, who's to stop him? Eric, the great big hypocrite? The Wardens? He'd love to see them try. But first... a few stiff drinks at the Rusty Spoon, formerly known as Merlotte's. For old times sake. ]

((ooc: Available at the bar or skulking around outside somewhere, if you want a meeting that doesn't involve ridiculous amounts of alcohol! ))

	[Rose finds him outside after following his scent; she had noticed that Spike had left while she was having a nap and decided to look for him, wondering where he'd gone to. She sidles up to Spike with a wide smile, hands in her pockets. ] Hello you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ He turns at the sounds of her voice, stance quickly going from high alert to the casual, confident swagger he so often sports around her. At least he still got Rose around. That would suck so much. ] Fancy meetin' you here. [ A grin, followed by a kiss in greeting. ] Nice night, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-01 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	[ She's glad to have him around as he was a pillar of strength for her, even when things looked bad. If Rose was doing the same for him, then she'd be happy. ] I came looking for you. [If it's possible, her smile is even wider than before. ] Yeah, it is. Quiet. You okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-01 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	More than okay. [ He shifts in to wrap his arms around her, playfully rocking a little side to side in a happy dance. ] I've got some exciting news. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-01 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	[ Rose laughs, slipping her arms around his waist and sways along with him. ] You do? Well, go on. Don't keep me in suspense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He leans in to whisper close to her ear, taking on a sing-song tone of voice. ] Ding-dong th' Slayers gone. [ Which, to be completely honest is a fact that upsets him more than he's willing to lead on. Going with the mice-while-the-cats-away angle is a much better approach than actually owning up to how lost he feels. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What? [ Her tone is full of surprise and Rose takes a moment to process what he just told her. ] She's gone back home? [ Didn't surprise her that he seemed to be happy about her no longer being in the dome. It gave him more freedom. But that didn't mean that Rose was going to try to keep him in check, make sure that Spike didn't kill anyone. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-03 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Or to whatever godforsaken place they go when they're not here anymore... either way, she's not around. [ Little does she know that he's already killed someone. Someones. Two little Marina murders under his belt and he got away with both of them, wouldn't you know. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I suppose this calls for a celebration, yeah? A few drinks at the bar. [ Not knowing is bad. She'd rather him be upfront about it because then she could deal with it better. Maybe. Rose doesn't want any more blood on his hands. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-03 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Best thing I've heard all night... shall we? [ Well, that could be a problem. He kind of likes getting blood on his hands. A lot. Whta good is a pesky soul, anyway? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The sooner, the better.

[They'll have to talk about it eventually but not right now when they were out in public like this. She remembered not so long ago when he asked her to join him on a hunt and she was tempted, mostly to see what it would be like to do that again.

Brushing that thought aside, Rose leads them in the direction of the bar, sliding her hand into his.]

	[ He takes her hand in his with ease, letting a little bit of silence stretch between them as they make their way to the bar. Of course, with the giddy mood he's in he can't keep himself quiet for too long. ] We really should celebrate tonight... how about I take you out for dinner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-04 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ She knows what he means by that and Rose hasn't really eaten since this morning. Leaving it too long between meals wouldn't be a good thing so his suggestion is appealing. ] Well, it's been some time since I've eaten today. So yeah, you can take me out to dinner.

	[ He issues a pleased hum before deciding that yes, it would be a good idea to confirm that they're on the same page. ] You do realize I'm not talking about anything that comes in a bottle, right? [ Little glance. ] How long's it been since you had a proper meal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-04 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	I do know what you meant, Spike. As for the last time I properly fed on someone, it was back home and months ago. [ The blood bags and Tru blood were enough to satisfy her hunger but Rose knew that deep down, the urge to feed on a living person was always there. She just ignored it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-05 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Then it's about bloody time. I'm sure we can find something to satisfy you... [ Wow. Wow wow wow. This is better than he ever imagined. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-05 06:19 am UTC (link)
	I have rules, Spike. No killing and no drinking too much. [ She knows how vicious she can be, aware of her strength. ] Otherwise, I won't do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-06 05:20 am UTC (link)
	[ He issues a little hum, not entirely displeased but... well, this is less fun. The prospect of getting her to join him weighs up the lack of excitement that a kill usually brings with it though. ] Fair enough. It's probably better that way in the long run anyway. [ Sigh. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-07 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	[ Neither of them needed someone after them for killing a fellow prisoner. Perhaps Spike didn't care but Rose had some sort of moral code.] Exactly. I know you'd like it to be different but I don't want any trouble. For either of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Alright, alright... your wish is my command. [ Said theatrically, but with a good ounce of honesty. He always was love's bitch. ] So? What do you fancy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-08 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. [ There's an internal sigh of relief when she hears him say that, glad he was going to accommodate it. ] I have no idea. Whomever we come across first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-09 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	You're sure not picky. [ Not that he's been all that selective either. It helps that there are no tough old geezers around. ] You sure you don't want to order the special? Seeing as it's been such a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-10 06:51 am UTC (link)
	[ She can't afford to be picky. Not when they had to be careful. ] I'll be compelling who we choose to forget what happened so it doesn't matter who it is. Besides, I need to ease myself back into it slowly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-12 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	[ A hum and a nod. He can respect that. ] So what did you prefer, back in the day? You haven't always been on the slim diet, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-11-13 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	No, I haven't. I didn't have the convenience of blood bags so I had to get blood straight from the source. [Oh, his first question.] Strong and healthy. Adults. Never children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
