[ 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! ))

	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)

	[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)

	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)

	[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)

	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)

	[ 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)

	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)

	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)

	Crack a window. [She says with her back turned, using a pulled out drawer as a stepping stool to reach the top of the fridge. It's there she finds a wrapped gift, the bow more a knot than anything but she tried okay.] Catch. [And she's tossing it, swiveling to sit on the counter rather than hop down.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Fine, fine... so demanding. [ Teasing even as he obediently goes to do what she asked for. He's got just enough time to deposit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth before she tosses him a gift. ]

Wow... you really shouldn't have.

[ He shoots her a sly glance and goes to work on the wrapping without quite paying attention to what he's doing. Ribbon and paper deposited, the box is opened and then... and then there's an audible sizzle as he somewhat carelessly grabs the object inside. Needless to say he ends up dropping the whole thing as if it burnt him — which is actually exactly what happened. ]

Sonnova— hngh... what did you put in there?

	[Her eyes drop to watch the box fall before flicking back up to him, briefly confused.] ... It's a belt buckle. [Let her digest this, what just happened?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-10 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ He tries to shake off the burn before stopping to look at his singed fingers. Yeowtch. And since she seems completely oblivious to what just happened he'll hold up his hand to show her the angry red line across his fingertips. ] Wouldn't happen to have a crucifix on there, would it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-10 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	Not like, a real one. [Note her surprise here.] Shiiit, can it still hurt you? Wow, not intentional. [She shoves off the counter top to bend down and grab the box, pulling out the buckle to show him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-12 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	Symbols are powerful, love. [ He takes the buckle from her, careful to hold at the edges. ] Pretty lit'le thing you found though. It'd take balls to wear something like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-12 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Ergh, I can exchange it for something else y'know. Incase you're not implying you might wear it anyway. [Do you have balls, Spike?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-13 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ Of course he's got balls. C'mon. ] Nah... I think I'll hold on to it. Who knows, it might come in handy. Thanks, love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-11-13 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	Next time I'll stick to a skull or stud motif. [But she's happy.] You're welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-11-13 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	[ He carefully puts it back down into the box. Yeah, this could come in handy. He's not sure how yet, but it never hurts to have a few tricks around. ] Makes me wonder though... what's up with you cyber witches and your great, big hearts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
