Day 280 [Spike Resouling Mingle / open*]
[It seems peaceful enough on surface. Just another average evening in the dome. Get some new inmates, have lunch, put a vampire's soul back.

Tonight is the night. They'll either come together as the team she wants them to be or this will fall apart. She gave out the final assignments yesterday. Now, it's a matter of having a little faith that they'll all do their part, and this spell will work.

She can feel the weight of the stake on her belt. It's not that the wood is heavy, but what it represents is—a choice she'll have to make to whether or not to take someone else's choices away.]

(OOC: *Open in that there are areas for different people like those mentioned by name in this OOC organizational post are welcome to tag into the appropriate stage below. Unnamed force members are also welcome to encounter Spike early on or be stationed at the Headquarters. Non-DF players are welcome to tag into the Library thread as uninformed library goers who will be turned away.

Not a DF member, hate the library, and didn't get in on the ground floor, but you have an idea now? Please discuss it on the OOC post!

	Is he in there? [Tyki asks, eyes narrowed as he surveys Kitty. He likes that look on her face. The fact she tried to kill him (harm him, realistically) is incredibly alluring. She's never looked more beautiful.] Because I've made plenty of deals, Kitty. And one includes not letting you meddle with a man and his soul, as fun as that might seem to you.

	[Her jaw tightens.] Stay out of it unless you want to see me meddle with a man and his noah. [Not exactly an empty threat. She hasn't put any resources behind it, but it is something she and Allen discussed. "Saving him." It's not so unlike this situation with Spike. So she gets why it upsets him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A cold, cold laugh. He clutches his gut as if it hurts, he wants her to think he's weak right now. That this cold laughter pains him, when in reality it's nothing but numbing ice.] You know nothing of what you threaten to do. It's astonishing. And now, looking at you right now? I can see you'd go through with it, too. [Said with such disgust.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pain. Laughter. Talking. It's all good for stalling. Once the spell is done he can go have a tea party with Spike for all she cares.] I know there's a man inside you who never asked for this. One who watches over an orphaned kid. One who was in pain the day it crawled back inside him. [Yeah, she'd go through with it. That's been true for awhile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He laughs, and you know what, he'll close that gap between them. He knows she's stalling; but this grinds his gears.]

If you ever threaten me again with that, Kitty. Threaten to fuck with what I am? I will kill you before you even try. [He says, leaning in with darkness crawling into his skin and his eyes a leering gold. His skin is ashen and the stigmata open across his forehead like a wave of water. His teeth grind.]

Don't test me on that.

	[That's the thing about intangibles, isn't it? They know how to get under your skin. She meets his gaze, not faltering for a moment even though she finds herself...believing him.] Go home, Tyki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-22 04:24 am UTC (link)
	No, no, we're not done yet. [He laughs again, a little less reserved. Alive with something, something dark in his core.] Not while I'm bleeding and you remain unscathed, Kitty. I think we have more talking to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Sticks and stones, Tyki. Doesn't sound like you want to talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-22 04:32 am UTC (link)
	No, we can talk. You stay phased and we'll have a nice long conversation, just like this. [He wants her to run low on juice.] I can tell you all the things I'll do before I kill you, if you prefer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 04:37 am UTC (link)
	If breaking my heart was on the list you can already scratch it out. Didn't realize you were playing a long game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-22 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Oh, please. I can do that twice, easily enough. [He laughs, raising his brows.] Just think, Kitty. What feeds your heart now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Are you looking for blood or pizza here? Because I'm not letting you take pizza away. No way. [She can play unbothered.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-22 04:46 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't say no to the blood. [He says, slowly lifting his hand to reach out - he doesn't expect to touch her.] You've shed some of mine, after all. And without any apology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 04:49 am UTC (link)
	[And he won't. Yet.] Want me to carve, "I'm sorry" on your back? Guess it might be hard to read with all those scars. How are they feeling? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mm, never better since Walker disappeared. [Though he has an inkling of a thought, a feeling that they'd ached since. But he can't place it.]

Good riddance, am I right? [He turns up his palm to cradle a single Tease on it, which bats its wings to take flight, circling around her and dodging through her intangible form. Daring her to become solid and to tip him off when she does.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 04:57 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't take the bait, but she does need to be solid and soon. He shouldn't be able to see when she does. It should be easy enough and yet she feels that somehow that will still be the moment and she's made Reid bandage her once already this week.] Come on, you miss him, don't you? [Maybe just a rest while he's answering a question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There is a little something lacking without him...[He smiles though, seeing the Tease bat around behind her.

Watching it land on her shoulder, feather light.] a bloodthirst that lingers.

[He moves quick, recovering from that 'pained' hunch to lash out at her with a blackened hand, dark matter making his fingers razor sharp as he moves to slash across her to inflict a similarly shallow cut. One for one.]

[Phased again, she drops back. Hand going instinctively to the wound she didn't have time to evade. She doesn't heal the way he does, but she knows how to play on an injury.

And then the laughter. Maybe a little bit the pearl's fault at her neck, but it's not exactly unusual to see a smirk on her face mid-battle. Just less common when she's the one getting sliced.]

You actually did it.

You think I wouldn't? [He raises his brows again, cocking his head to the side.]

You wouldn't be the first woman I've fought, Kitty. And this? This is self defense, since you saw fit to try and gut me. [He pats his stomach before taking up a casual stance, teeth shown in a curled back smile. The tease behind her continues to dart at her, trying to land but this time also to bite.]

Do all your minions know you're this ruthless? Do they go along with you like sheep, because you're in power? [Questions he asks as he swipes forward again, aggressively trying to get another hold of her.]

	[Surprise was definitely not based on being a girl, but she doesn't bother to clarify. She drops down, narrowly avoiding him in her solid form before sweeping a foot out toward his.] They do if they've been paying attention. Did you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The good thing about his abilities is being a real cheat, phasing through her legs but reaching down with his arm to grab at a fistful of her hair with a yank.] I know who I am and who I choose to follow, love.

[Tendrils of dark matter curl and coil around his wrists, like little snakes that reach out for her. He moves to kick her, releasing two more Tease into the air to bite at her bared skin whenever possible.] But do you know? How long I've waited for this? [The chance to fight her.]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	[Definitely a cheater. Her power lets her be solid or intangible, not both simultaneously. If she can hit, she can be hit. Shortly after the yank of her hair she phases again, taking away the teases' meal even though she felt the beginning of that kick. There'll be a bruise.] You have a funny way of caring for people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-22 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Caring? Like you should talk. [He says, rolling his eyes.] You're forcing a soul into an undead man, and when I show concern? You stab me without even a second thought. That's real concern, Kitty. I can see how much you care. [...] I consider him a friend, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-07-22 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	If I didn't care you'd be looking for a pile of dust right now. [She pushes herself back up, blood soaking fast into her tank top. Her head swims.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2014-07-25 05:00 am UTC (link)
	[He starts toward her, rolling up his sleeves.] Perhaps he'd prefer to be dust, did you even ask? Now, now. How about a fair agreement: I stay solid if you do. And we settle this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
