[ 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! ))

	[ He rolls his eyes — it seems like a good tactic when you're not sure how to react to something. These stupid girls and their big, naive hearts. It works to his advantage of course, but it also makes things... sticky. ] I don't even remember my own... besides, who can tell 'round here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Now it's her turn to roll her eyes.] Fine, buy me a drink. [Pointed glance for if you want to get technical over the 'buying'.] Anyway, I saw it and I thought of you. You want it now or another time? 'Cause if I might keep it if you skulk off for a couple more weeks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh no, he's not going to be That Guy. So rarely had to pay for stuff back home, the whole concept is a little fuzzy. ] I got no plans of disappearing, but you never know... might want to get it over and done with, just in case. [ Yes he's curious, shush. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Greedy. I like that. [She gives a glance around, gauging distance.] You could come with me or we can meet at the bar? Your choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey hey, I didn't ask for this you know. This was all you. [ Amused. And... that is one interesting proposition here. ] Are you inviting me in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-06 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	[She doesn't know the folk lore.] Sure...? I'm one sector over, not far. Y'coming then? [She's already turning around.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-06 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ She's about to. Of course, he won't indulge in all the helpful details. ] Sure. Not like I have anything better to do. [ Aside from digging out a cigarette, of course. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-06 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	[She looks at the cigarette and wrinkles her nose. She can't even berate him for it because he's dead.] This way. [Arm motion forward as she starts walking. And some idle chat to fill the way:] So how has your day been going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-06 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ Best perk of being dead, let's be real. Can't get sick if you're not even breathing. No worries though, he's not about to blow smoke her way or anything like that. Manners. ] Can't complain. Got some interesting suspicions confirmed... how 'bout you? Anything new going on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-06 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	[It'd be hypocritical of her anyway, there's still a pack in the house left over from Cross that's dwindled down to only a few left.] Interesting suspicions? I'm jealous. I'm getting nothing out of my research. [She snorts, then admits... ] I'm peddling water. Don't really have a direction to go in right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like all you lit'le cyber witches are coming up with a whole lot of nothing. Tough gig. [ Nonchalant, but not completely without sympathy. Jeeze. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-07 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	[Cyber witches. She likes that. She's already fiddling through her pockets for her keys.] I know, right? I even tried flirting. Worth a try, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	What, you actually came on to the heap of screws? What would you have done if they took you up on it? Shagged a robot? [ Spike. Spike no. You don't know what your future holds, just stop. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-07 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	[She offers him a cheeky grin over her shoulder.] First time for everything, right? And who'd have better leverage than the Warden's mistress? [Wiggles her brows before snorting, leading the way up to her apartment, keys a jinglin'.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ W o w ] Bloody hell, you're worse than Jack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hah!] Am I? [Still grinning, even if momentarily turning to push that door ajar.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... at least he got some standards. [ Playfully. He follows her to the door, but stops on the threshold. Not by choice, mind you. ] You need to invite me in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-07 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	Heyyy, I have standards. [She quips back, already a few steps in and ditching her bag. She stops and turns back when she realizes he isn't following.] Huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	[ Pressing a hand against that invisible barrier. Quite solid. ] Vampire, remember? I can't step foot in someone's home without a direct invitation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-07 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [Shit, that's kinda cool.] Come in? Step in? Welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-07 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	[ Did he show his bumps yet? Or the lack of breath? Heartbeat? I mean, if she wants cool. ] You sound surprised. [ Stepping in, all too pleased. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-08 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Didn't know that was a rule. [Some movie titles make a bit more sense, now that she thinks about it...] Well, make yourself comfortable. I'll go grab the thing. [The present. She makes a gesture and hops off out of sight.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-09 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	Right, right... [ Wandering around, aimlessly poking and prodding at things. A little gentle snooping. ] Nice place you got here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eh. [She murmurs from the next room over, gentle tinkling of electronics being shoved around the spare bedroom she'd made a nest of technological wonders. And by tinkling we mean crashes, here and there, because that nest grew a bit out of control.]

It's a bit big compared to my last digs. [More murmurs, her head popping out of the door frame to frown and look around as if trying to remember where she placed something. It's a bit of a mess but not overtly so, just piles of papers and a few discarded items of clothing around. Most traces of Cross are gone, but one ashtray by the kitchen sink, two butts still in it. Not his, however, but they might as well be as far as Spike's concerned.]

Ah, shit. Just gimme a second. I'll find it.

	Take your time, love. [ The longer she looks the more time he has to get a good feeling for this place. Also, seeing as there's a convenient ashtray right there he'll just go ahead and light up while he waits. Humdidum. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
