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! ))

	Bad? [ He laughs, incredulously. ] Why would I ever feel bad? You need a soul for that, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How'd you do that? [Two steps away from asking to be turned into a vampire!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-05-28 08:37 am UTC (link)
	It's not difficult. Any poor ol' sod can do it — you die. Key is to keep moving afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you get rid of your soul when you die, what's left to keep moving? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The demon, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-05-29 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, but is any part of who you were left? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-05-29 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	What kind of a question is that? [ A very good one, that's what. One that hits a little too close to home. ] Didn't lose anything worth missing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-05-30 03:42 am UTC (link)
	[That isn't a particularly satisfying answer, but Nathan gets the feeling that he's on the verge of asking too many questions.] That sounds easy, just dying and not having to care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-05-31 09:45 am UTC (link)
	[ Only just. He will however get almost uncharacteristically honest for a moment here, eyes locking on the boy. ] Dying is never easy. It can be quick and welcome and the best thing that ever happens to you, but it's not easy. [ He shifts closer at that, features slipping into the demonic. ] I could give you a taste. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-05-31 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	[For the first time in the duration of their conversation, Nathan looks a little afraid--not of the monster in front of him, but by the monster he could be if all the parts that cared were taken away.] What's the hard part? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-01 09:21 am UTC (link)
	Letting go. [ He shoves a finger against Nathan's chest, roughly where his heart should be. ] Everyone wants to feel alive... and dying takes that away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-03 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Is being dead worse than feeling dead when you're still alive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Take it up with your therapist. Which isn't me. [ Ugh, fangboner killer. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-06 02:51 am UTC (link)
	[Nooo, don't dismiss him!] Okay, but how's it work? How'd you become what you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-06 09:49 am UTC (link)
	You get someone to turn you. You die, soul slips out, demon moves in, Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt. [ Britishisms. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-07 02:35 am UTC (link)
	[Luckily, being unfamiliar with Britishisms doesn't prevent Nathan from understanding more than enough to warrant more questions.] Have you ever turned anyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-07 11:50 am UTC (link)
	No. I haven't found anyone I want to have hanging around for the rest of eternity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-07 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	So you're immortal? That would suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-07 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, because growing old and feeble and eventually toppling over from the common cold is so great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-09 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well... I won't do that, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-09 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	If you're so set on dying young, why haven't you offed yourself yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-10 06:36 am UTC (link)
	I tried. [It's very important to him that Spike believes him. He doesn't want to look like some kind of poser who cuts himself for attention.] I'll try again when I figure out how to do it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-06-10 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sorry about this long, dry, unimpressed stare. ] You couldn't even top yourself. C'mon mate, it's like falling off a log. People do it by accident all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-06-10 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Defensive!] Yeah, but it's not that easy when people want you to stay alive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
