Funny how they always pull the plug right when we get to the fun part. Nothing good lasts around here, does it?

[ Locked to Jack Harkness ]

Not. A. Word.

[ Locked to Rose. ]

We should go out tonight.

	Anything trying to kill people is usually fun. [ Seeing as he is a big, vicious predator. ] I've eaten worse. Not my first pick if I had a choice, but they weren't so bad. [ He didn't exactly feed, but it's hard to resist getting some fang action in there when it's so rare to come by. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Klara is quiet for a moment, because she doesn't know this man, but the idea that he enjoys eating dinosaurs makes her wonder. Does he like eating raw flesh? Is he a monster? He talks about killing so casually, she almost wishes he sounded more sarcastic. She doesn't like it. If he saying it just to get a reaction out of people?]

There are plenty of choices. They have beef and pork at the grocery.

	[ It's a little of both, to be honest. Killing isn't a big deal and pointing out how little of a deal it is just adds the bonus of getting a rise out of people. You got to entertain yourself in a place like this. ] Tch. You say that as if it's any better. They got bottled blood too, but that's not the same as a fresh bite in some pretty lit'le girl's neck.

[He answered her questions without her needing to ask. Klara doesn't gasp, although there is a quiver of fear in her at how casually he says that. She's scared. Or angry. Maybe both? She doesn't understand what she feels right now. So many people have told her about how different they can be, how vampires don't have to be monsters, but this man... He's everything she thinks of when she pictures what they are.]

Then you're someone who shouldn't be allowed around little girls. [Her tone is stiff, restrained. If she is afraid, she will not let him know.]

	[ It's surprisingly satisfying to talk to someone who actually believes that he is exactly what he claims to be, even if she's a little girl. So many blind people here, it's actually worse than Sunnydale. ] And who's going to stop me? You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Could she? She's stronger than she was back home, but she doesn't know what he can do. Is he like Eric? She doesn't think she could stand up to someone like that. But what if he did try to attack someone? What if no one else did anything?] I'm not the only one who would want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure haven't had any serious contenders yet... or any complaints, for that matter. [ Idle threats and not a whole lot more than that. It's almost disappointing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostababyfang 2014-01-04 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	[That can't be true. If he's hurt someone or talked about hurting someone before, someone would have done something, wouldn't they? She couldn't be the only one who could see how dangerous he is.] Maybe they don't want you to know they're watching. Not everyone is as obvious as you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Two men dead so far. Plenty of threats slung around. Still, she's the first to take him seriously off the bat. What is wrong with this place. ] Oh, poppet... aren't you just adorable. Watching isn't keeping me from ripping throats, is it? You sure they're not just afraid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It wasn't until she came here that Klara saw vampires could be something other than monsters. But even that's been shaken recently. She knows she's a threat. That she could hurt people. But him... He's even worse.] I'm not. [She is. She's terrified of what he might do. But she won't let him know that. You don't let people see that kind of weakness.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	C'mon then. [ And it's here that he flips on the video to show the transformation into full on game face. ] I'd love to see what you'll do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Whatever she might have expected, it wasn't that. He looks even worse than she expected, which is fangs bared and face distorted. Not like the vampires she remembers from books and movies, but somehow worse. It doesn't make Klara any less frightened to have a face to go along with the voice. It makes her feel put on the spot, knowing he's challenging her like this. It's like the most intense double dare of her life.

But if she turns back now, he'll know she's afraid. He'll know he can threaten people and no one will care to stop him. And she doesn't want that. Why didn't she ask Eric about him before saying something?

Because he's a monster. She clenches her fists and tries to steel herself, to focus on how angry he makes her feel rather than the fear so she can stay in control. She turns on her own video, showing him she's not going to back down. Her eyes burn a bit from the effort, yellow and agitated.]

I'll stop you, if I have to.

	Oh, that I would like to see. C'mon then. Show me what you got. [ Some would say antagonizing a little girl is unsportsmanlike, but to that Spike says... well. Bollocks to sportsmanship. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He may not be taking it seriously, but Klara is. Seriously enough to know that if she keeps it up she will have to back up what she's saying and she doesn't think she's strong enough. She doesn't know what Spike can do. Think. Think. If she backs down now, she'll lose ground, but she knows she can't.] I'm not stupid. I won't do anything on your terms.

	What kind of hero are you if you'll only fight me on your terms? Boy scouts can't be that picky, you know. [ Teasing so hard. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostababyfang 2014-01-06 02:37 pm UTC (link)
	[That annoys her. For all that he scares her, he's also a frustrating jerk. Her jaw is stiff from how tightly she's clenching it. Don't give in. She can't let him know he's getting to her so easily.] I'm not a boy, Scout, or a hero. I guess that means I get to do everything on my terms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pretty sure that's the definition of a big bad, doing as you please... are you a big bad, lit'le girl? You got a demon in you? [ Antagonizing and nothing but. He genuinely doesn't expect her to be all that special... but the Annoying One was also in the body of a little boy. You can never be too careful. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostababyfang 2014-01-07 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	[She doesn't owe him anything, but it's not as if she has hid it much since the forced therapy sessions. It's hard to hide that you're not normal when no one really was. Everyone was different. But calling her a demon hits too close to home. She knows what she is, what she could do. It's not like she'll ever forget.] It takes a monster to know a monster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oooh. So you do have something special in you? [ Isn't that interesting. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Stop saying it like that, she wants to yell, but doesn't. He's trying to make her angry and it's working. She wants him to shut up. Klara wants to do whatever she can to make him go away, but cutting the conversation off with make her look like the scared one. It will give him the advantage.]

There's nothing special about it. [And then a little more biting.] Just like you.

	[ At this point, she's either going to have to give in and hang up or get an intervention from an outside source. He has little intention of ending this game of theirs. ] So what are you, then? Like me? Or something else entirely? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Klara holds off what she had been about to say--as if she had truly been sure, she's been running on pure need to not back down for a while now--because she does trust Eric.] He keeps threatening to hurt people. [The closest she'll get to "he started it."] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, he is a rather yappy sort of barker. [ he's referring to the bark and bite phrase that gets tossed around so much. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
