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!

[Even if he almost missed the moment the soul impacted, there's no way he could miss Spike's reaction to it. He watches, his heart in his mouth, as Spike stiffens for a long moment - and then grunts as Spike's full weight comes down on him. Luckily, the stake lodged in his guts is far enough to the side that Spike doesn't actually fall on top of it, because the pain of that would probably have made him black out too. As it is, he just lies there helplessly beneath Spike's dead weight, panting through the pain, one hand going to his side to the stake (to stop it moving any more; no point in actually pulling it out and bleeding to death), the other, after a minute, coming up to wrap around Spike's limp body.]

Spike?

[ He groans weakly at the sound of his name, only barely aware of what's going on around him right now. It's a shock to his system, something they never really warned him about when it came to Angelus but all things considered it's not that surprising. The arm around him focuses his attention to the fact that he's not alone and he tries to push himself off, muscles trembling and twitching but not really doing all that much to actually move him. ]

[Jack hasn't been sure what to expect either, which is why Spike's currently locked up, after all. But so far as he's been able to imagine, though, this is mostly what he's imagined: Spike being overwhelmed by it all in the immediate aftermath.

Which is why, instead of trying to help Spike off him he tightens that arm wrapped around Spike and pulls him back down again. What's a little more weight when breathing's becoming difficult anyway? And he really doesn't have the strength to push Spike off right now.

He doesn't try to speak - what could he say? - but just holds Spike firmly, trying to help him through it the only way he can.]

	[ He's going to have to hold on for quite some time if he wants to succeed with that. This is an agonizing burn, slow and instant all at once, making him whimper and curl up on top of Jack like a wet puppy. If he can't leave then he'll just have to stay here, so helpless that he can't even feel bad about his pathetic state. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He does his best, but there comes a point where Spike's weight becomes a little too much to bear, and he shifts slightly beneath him, tapping his back to try and bring him back to reality a little.] Spike? Sorry, but I'm going to - need you to - move! [Even if movement of any kind is about the last thing he wants right now. It's going to fucking hurt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Gonna need more than that to grab his attention. Sorry Jack, he's a little preoccupied right now. The prompting does make him groan and shift, muscles trembling as he half-pushes half-crawls off Jack. Yeah, this isn't going to feel good buddy. Luckily the smell of blood is making him nauseous like little else right now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He cries out as even that much movement shifts the stake still buried in his side, and grits his teeth against the pain. Okay, he's going to have to do this the hard way, isn't he? Spike's half off him now, but it's not enough and he needs to get out of here. He could quite easily shoot himself right here, right now to force a quick heal, but Ianto's made such a big thing about being with him when he resurrects that he doesn't think he'd ever forgive him if just went ahead and did it with Ianto only feet away on the other side of the door.

So he clenches his teeth so hard he can hear them grinding together and heaves Spike off him, letting out a loud grunt of effort as he does so. And then, one hand still clutching his side, he rolls over, somehow gets to his feet, and staggers across to the door. He bangs on it, and calls out breathlessly.]

Spell's worked. I need out for a minute!

[It feels like he waits forever, clutching the door jamb to hold himself up, but eventually he hears the key in the lock and the bolts being drawn, and he staggers out, barely even noticing who it is who's come to replace him.]

Won't be long. He's docile anyway.

[He hears the door shut behind him, and looks round for Ianto.]
