250 - Fear Itself Mingle
[ Today is a day where most would be at risk of oversleeping.The dome lies dark like in the dead of night. The sun hasn’t risen today, streetlights casting a dull yellow glow and occasionally flickering out into nothing, only to spark back to life a moment later. There is no electric flicker from the kiosk. The Wardens are still. The wardens are silent.

The dome isn’t silent. There is a rustling of leaves, a snapping of twigs. Claws, scraping against concrete. The inhuman screech of an animal in peril, an animal hunting, an animal hunted. A screech that promises sharp claws and sharper teeth and blood.

The dome isn’t still either. There is something moving, thick as a shadow, tangible as a chill down your spine. Something that doesn’t belong here, something that snuck in when no one was looking. A boogeyman under the bed. A ghost in the closet. A will o’ the wisp, blinking in and out of existence under the flickering streetlights. Whatever it is it’s moving, leaving a trail of cold, dead fear wherever it passes. Something dark. A shadow so pitch black that it blots out the very lights in your heart, dragging your fears out screaming and kicking, reducing even the strongest, toughest man to a blubbering baby.

Perhaps best to stay in bed today, Marina. ]

	[He's half expecting the feint but dodges the wrong way, doubling as Spike's fist strikes his gut. Sloppy, that. He loses his breath in an abrupt huff, slashing wildly (but rather weakly) in the other's direction to cover his moment of vulnerability.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ With the other doubled over, Spike reaches with his free hand to nab him by the collar in an effort to hold him up close and still. Nothing like getting in someone's face with all those sharp fangs to get the message home. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Despite all evidence to the contrary, Brian can't shake the assumption that the whole vampire thing is bullshit. It's hard to be a skeptic under these circumstances, though. He reacts automatically, swinging his fist in return, aiming for anything he can reach. Preferably the face.

He's not afraid; anyone would be, but that's never been the way his mind works. The clarity isn't worth much, but it's kept him alive so far.]

[ If Spike knew that the other wasn't so sure about his actual existence, there would be a whole lot more laughter in his face in place of fangs. The fangs would surely come later, but with how open the vampires of this place are and the Blood Shack being right there, non-believers always come across as a bit daft to him.

The punches hit, but doesn't do too much. He's used to getting punched in the face and although the way they make his head jerk to the side keeps him from actually biting, it doesn't really deter him from his goal of nom. ]

[That people would like to believe they are vampires isn't so hard to swallow; he's at least considering the possibility that this is legitimate. On the other hand, the likeliest possibility is that none of this is real, and rather than subscribing to a slightly alternate sort of sanity he's gone off the proverbial deep end.

Either way, he doesn't want to find out like this. He twists and pulls, trying to loosen that grasp-- he'd wriggle out of his shirt if he had more space to do it in-- stabbing blindly at Spike's side as he does. For good measure he manages to stomp his heel soundly on the vampire's foot. Breaking a couple of toes would please him inordinately.]

[ It's only fun when they fight back for so long and Brian has effectively stepped over the line of "a chase" and straight into "a bloody nuisance". Spike grunts against the stabs, eventually becoming fed up enough to give up on his prey — too much work. The bloke isn't even a young cheerleader.

With another shove, he increases the distance between them. ] You sure took the fun out of this game quickly.

	I do what I can. [He sounds almost disinterested, but he's relieved. In the long run, this fight's stacked against him. He doesn't say anything more for the moment because he's still a bit short on breath, and doesn't want to advertise it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See you around. [That's not a threat, he wouldn't bother. And he's not stupid. But he's definitely not planning to get caught unawares.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
