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. ]

	He's going to do what he feels he needs to when it comes to dealing with people like you regardless of how many people he has on his side. [And with Ianto around he's always guaranteed to have at least one person there for him.] Maybe you should tell everyone not to hurt innocent people if they're so worried. Not as long as there are bad guys to fight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Isn't that a comfort. [ He sighs, or makes a noise as close to a sigh as a man with no breath can make. ] Are we just about done here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He doesn't know what he expected out of this conversation. Perhaps it was too much to hope that Spike would really chance. But there doesn't seem to be any actual remorse here, no sense that he's done bad things and now has a chance to better himself. Just whining and threats, which isn't all that much of a change from before to be honest. He's disappointed.]

We're done.
