284 // voice
[ The feed starts long before anyone speaks, lingers in eerie silence broken by the clicks of a stubborn lighter, the dry crackle of tobacco being set alight, the hollow intake of smoke in dead lungs. The trembling exhale, functioning as an initial indicator to just how rough and ragged his voice is when he does speak. Strained, like he's been screaming himself raw or perhaps the measured and stilted words are a product of him trying to keep himself from doing just that. ]

Are you happy now? Is the world all bright, full of puppydogs and rainbows again? Messing with things you don't understand... makes you feel powerful, doesn't it? Like you're in control. Like you know something. Let me tell you a lit'le secret: you don't know shit. You've never been in control and you never will be. Always somethin' else, calling the shots... whether you realize it or not.

The real monsters aren't out there... but in here. [ Punctuated by the hollow knock of knuckles against breastbone and then he cuts the feed. ]

	You fucking bitch! [ And then he laughs, worn thin, on the verge of breaking. ] It takes a hero to undervalue the worth of a soul. Should've figured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Wow, rude. The name calling was so unnecessary, for one. As well as those accusations; she forcefully blew some of the hair from her eyes before sending him a pointed, noticeably less amused look.]

You're welcome.

[Dull. Dry. As to the point as possible.]

I'm not the one undervaluing it here. If I were, I wouldn't have bothered with the whole ritual in the first place.

Are you seriously telling me that you understand what happens when you put a soul and a demon in the same person? Because I really fucking doubt you do.

[ It's unnatural. It shouldn't happen, Buffy would never have stood for it and with how flippant everyone seems to be, they really don't understand what they've done. He's not even calling foul anymore (oh no, he deserves this) but they need to understand even on a conceptual level how fucking serious this is. ]

	[Had it been anybody besides Spike saying this, she might have given the words more weight. As far as she was concerned right then, however, he was just complaining and looking for an out.] You're right. A soul. How awful of a fate. I mean, I don't know how any of the rest of us manage to survive with one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, so now you got a demon scratching in your chest too? Stupid, bloody bitch. How you managed to pull this off in the first place I'll never know, you're even more braindead than Harmony. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She had no idea who Harmony is. Not like it mattered.] Obviously not. Since I did pull it off. And I might have slightly more sympathy if you weren't continuing to prove to me you had this coming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He sighs. It's a grand feat, seeing as he can't breathe. ] Why don't you just piss all the way off and save us both the headache, then. Why are you even talking to me? Just to gloat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A little] Actually, I was just curious if giving you a soul had any affect on your personality. Guess not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not a circus animal, no matter you think. [ And with that he cuts the feed. Be a stupid bimbo if you must. He warned you. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
