270 // open action
[ Sooner or later, you run out of patience. You grow bored, antsy, you find yourself pacing like a wild animal in a cage, yearning desperately for something to happen just to break the monotony and sure, spending a day with lungs full of air and a heart full of beating was fun but not enough to even begin to ease that itch. The demon in your chest is clawing against ribs, screaming for blood, for fire and death and chaos. For the good old days. For something — anything — that makes you feel alive despite being a walking corpse.

He's got his body back. The chip has been out for ages and he finally retrieved his signature coat, Nikki Wood's coat, the very thing that reminds him of past glory, of the road taken to get this far. William the Bloody, Spike, the Slayer of Slayers. One step away from becoming a living (well) legend and now he's stuck here, chained like a dog in the backyard with the threat of a besoulment hanging over him like a guillotine. He's not going to take that lying down. He's not just going to wait, not when there's blood to spill.

It's late when he hits the streets of MarinaNova Asylum, dark shadows lending a perfect cover as he stalks through the sectors. Hunting. He will not go through this quietly. ]

((ooc: open to actions of many varieties, tho I'm definitely looking for victims. Successful and unsuccessful attacks all welcome. Hit me up on plurk or email (baratiesbest@gmail.com) if you want to plot or have questions! Please remember any hospitalization comes with an injury punishment AND an assault charge for Spike, so let me know if your character ends up in the hospital! ))

	[ Why indeed? Except this is the night that Spike has chosen to go out on a full-blown hunting spree, picking off anyone he can find that's out walking on their own, tired and distracted. She looks like a perfect target. Adrenaline surging in his veins, he stealthily changes course to catch up to her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Perfect target indeed. She glanced into the bag she was carrying, checking the contents a second time to make sure she hadn't left anything behind at the restaurant that she would need before she returned. She hadn't heard anything unusual, so no reason to glance over her shoulder at the moment........] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Oh, he really can't believe his luck. Do these people not watch horror movies? Have they no self preservation? All the better for him and although he'd usually pick one victim and drain them to the last drop, this smorgasbord approach isn't half bad. Lots of different flavors in one night.

Determined to take her out before she starts moving again he starts closing the distance, muscles tensing as he throws himself at her with the intent to knock her off balance and drag her into the shadows. ]

	[She gasped as she felt him grab her, the bag falling to the ground as they fell to the side. She flailed, thought it wasn't just random flailing. She had knowledge of self-defense, and she wasn't about to make this easy for him. She just needed to get herself in a position where she could freeze him.........] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Silly girls and their self-defense classes. He struggles against her, attempting to get a grip on her that keeps her still and easy to bite. Not a single clue in the world that he's dealing with a magic user. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She couldn't get aim on him. It was time to up the anty and get some sort of advantage. She freed a hand long enough to gesture towards an empty space above them. Boom! Small random explosion in the air. She was hoping it would have the same effect as shooting off a gun into the air, like it had when she broke up the fight between Caliborn and Rose.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It does work in very much that fashion, throwing him off the attack by sheer surprise. He ducks his head, pushing her away from him. ] Bloody hell, what do you think you're doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-05-24 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Trying to get you to stop! [It worked, right? Because that was all that mattered. He had stopped attacking her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-05-24 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	You're drawing attention, that's what you're doing! Now I'll just have to drain you quicker! [ Or bolt, but he's not quite at that point just yet. He bears his fangs again, making a start to attack her again. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-05-27 04:12 am UTC (link)
	[Oh crap... She brought her hands up again, still on the ground where he had pushed her down, and relied on her freezing power this time. Neither of her powers were at their best in Marina, but she knew they worked. She could at least give herself a head start on running away, depending on how long it lasted on him and how fast a runner he was.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-05-27 10:37 am UTC (link)
	[ That is another thing he didn't expect, although perhaps he should now that she's shown herself capable of bloody magic. The spell catches him dead on, freezing him completely. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2014-05-27 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh good! It worked! Piper scrambled back enough to get out from underneath his reach and started running. She wasn't sure how long it would last, depending on both Marina's restrictions on her powers and his ability to overcome them, but she wasn't going to stick around and time it to find out!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It doesn't hold him all that long, but she is getting a decent enough head start — once freed he stumbles into a run, adrenaline pumping in his muscles as he sprints after her. Who knows? Maybe she'll have enough time to get to safety. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She was certainly going to try, but it was hard to resist the urge to look back over her shoulder, causing her to stumble a little. She kept going, not falling completely. However, she certainly didn't have super speed, nor did she have a potion to make herself faster.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ You can't exactly call his speed all that super either these days. Bloody Wardens, taking his Hell-given gifts down a peg or two. He does have the advantage of not needing to breathe and coupled with the night vision it's almost too easy to catch up.

Only... he doesn't. Few yards in, he slows down. Let's her go. Bloody witches are just too much work, especially when there are easier prey to catch. ]

	[That was a relief to her. Once she was sure she had lost him, she headed for Defense Force Headquarters ~~to do her handwaved reporting~~.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
