276 // open action
[ He didn't plan to return to civilisation quite so soon but not even Sector 6 is capable of hiding him from the pesky Sentinels. After a few rounds of electroshocks by taser, you're willing to do whatever it takes just to stop pissing yourself. So by early morning on Day 276, Spike slunk back into Marina proper, desperate to get this bollocks over and done with before anyone noticed him back.

The first part is easy. Cleaning public bathrooms is gross as hell but manual labor isn't exactly difficult and you'd be surprised how quickly you can get done with the time pressure of ordinary people waking up. Still, the chance of getting caught is a real one. Want the chance of humiliating him properly? Potentially get a mop in your face? Then now would be the time to use the public restrooms.

His next punishment is... surprisingly enough even more painful. Arts and crafts? Fucking really? Still, it gives him the opportunity to hide out in the art center for a while, writing inspirational messages on rocks and by inspirational I of course mean such motivational phrases as "wanker" and "your mum". To be on the safe side, he'll cover them in the herpes of the craft world — glitter — before dumping them around the dome in the provided baskets. Have fun with that one.

And then all remains is volunteer work, which isn't that bad when you got a murderbro that owns a bar. He's bartended before around here and hanging out at the Devil's Compass doing whatever isn't the worst way he could spend an evening. Only problem is the great risk of exposure, but he doubts the goody-two-shoes of prison would stick their nose in here for no good reason... ]

((ooc: Feel free to run into Spike while he's busying himself fulfilling some much belated punishments! Confrontations are a-okay, as long as they don't mess too badly with the ongoing resouling plot! Pearl shenanigans also welcome, if that's of interest! ))

[Red pearl in hand, Garcia makes her way to the craft room for supplies to turn it into a fab broach. She's still trying with only moderate success to ground herself after her dramatic re-entry, and rebuilding her jewelery collection seems like an excellent starting point.]

[Blissfully unaware of any recent bloody massacres that may or may not have occurred, she grins when she spots Spike. They're buds after all, right?]

Those are fun. What would we call that style... Spiteful Hipster? [By the grin on her face, it's hardly an insult. She digs funky stuff regardless of appropriateness.]

[ He didn't know she was back and being addressed at all is more than enough cause for flinching. Well aware that he doesn't have all that many friends here Spike turns in her direction, ready to flee — and when he realizes who it is that urge to get the hell out of Dodge again turns into a wide grin. ]

Well, well... look what the cat dragged back in. How long've you been in town, poppet?

	Just yesterday. And I feel more like what the mountain lion dragged in, so I'll take that as a compliment. [Feeling out of it enough that if his near-flight was noticeable she missed it entirely.] Evidently being gone ain't no sweet lullaby. What's new with you? Other than the sudden interest in arts and crafts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She doesn't know. He has no doubts it won't stay that way for long, but right now she really doesn't know and perhaps he can use that to his advantage. There's a shrug. ] Nothing much. Working off my debt to society, that's all. [ Like he'd prettify rocks ever on his own accord. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spike? [She places the coffee down on the table, getting to her feet and heading towards the hall. When Rose sees him, she rushes over to Spike, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace.] I missed you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That is some welcome — he wraps his arms tightly around her waist in return, squeezing tightly. Not yet having had a chance to clean up, she should still be able to smell the jungle on him. Damp and rich, with the undertone of non-human blood. ] I'm here now, pet. Did anything happen while I was away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Clay didn't exactly plan of stalking the man who attacked him through a park to one of the public restrooms situated about. it just happened. He's certain the man hasn't noticed him, and he waits ten minutes at a far distance before entering. at least this time he's not completely unprepared. He knows the strength he's going up against. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[ Sneaking up on a man in the bathroom, that's low Clay. So low. Despite the heightened vampire senses he remains oblivious to the approaching threat, far too occupied trying to mop a particularly stubborn stain off the floor and maybe it's just easier to level the whole goddamn building to the ground. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
