[The video feed is very, very dark; the room is dimly lit by candles so old that trails of wax have encrusted them to their holders. But it reminds him of home. It's quiet and lonesome, the sound of tin and glass clinking before Tyki lowers himself into a seat at one end of a dark lacquered table. More like falls into it, with a bruise forming on his jaw and a sallow, nearly waxy complexion hidden behind grown stubble and thick rimmed glasses. Waking up with an integral part of your being forcibly removed and dealing with that sudden loss takes a lot out of a man; especially one who heavily relied on the balance to keep him... sane. The pleasure checkmated the guilt into submission time and time again and now it's just an aggravating mess and a sour taste left in his mouth.

His bar was just a slathering of salt into an open wound, though oddly deserved. He would've admitted that before, perhaps, but it still irks him to see his place taken over. No, no it was Greed's bar. Perhaps that's why it bothers him so much now-- because it was born on a human connection and that's all he has now. A pitiful human existence. He draws a tall bottle of wine close and fills a dented tin cup with it. No glitz, no glamor here. Just aches and pains, a miserable existence and a strangely human presence behind his dark eyes.]

You know who you are and what you did. [He drinks, tipping back his cup.

His voice is raspy and he drops the empty cup onto the table, slouching backward against the wall.] Congrats. You won.

[And then he reaches forward to shut off the broadcasting feed.]

	Possibly, if they get hungry. [He makes a face. Gulps alcohol.] If I end up drunk, like I said, a nice slice might coax them out. [And then blood for you, bro. Delicious, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time to pay up for the chipectomy, huh? [ He sighs, or as close to it that he can do. ] Fine... I'll do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gimme... a few more minutes, I'd like to be wasted first. [And he'll get there fast, and thankfully stay there once the little beasts are out and not sucking his highs from him.

But he uses two fingers to run over the skin of his forearm, then his neck - trying to find a fleshy enough spot that won't hurt like a bitch. Sides might be better; he rubs his ribs.] Dibs on all blood spilt is yours.

They usually perch around in the ribcage, it'd be easier not to use a limb. [Shorter path for him to feel now that he knows he can't just phase them out. Suddenly that's a lot creepier and you know, maybe he shouldn't have been an asshole in forcing them in other people. What's that, another sign of regret? He hates being mortal.]

Necks are your thing, aren't they? As long as they can get out, I don't care.

Not a great place if you want to stay alive. [ He's kept a few corpses on ice in his days, lasting like a packed lunch in times of need. Arms are better, easier to close off, harder to tear a bigger artery than you intended. Torso isn't all that better though and he'd rather not kill one of the few people in this bloody prison that he actually had something in common with.

Even more so now. Who would've thought. ]

...Neck, then. Throat, maybe. [ Like a tracheotomy. ]

[He watches Spike quietly, listening with the bottle to his lips off and on. It takes an insane amount of trust for him to consider this, more than he'd put in the hospitals here - hell, he wouldn't go near those. Rather rot from the inside out than seek help. But he trusts Spike not to kill him - and even if he did, chances are Tyki won't be back. Wouldn't be dead either, of course, just vanished for the time being come morning. So it's not a total loss.

He ends up chuckling.] You're the doctor here. Whatever you say goes.

Usually don't need to worry about keeping anyone alive.

[ So, you know. Be nice. There is of course a much, much easier way to do this that wouldn't require quite as light a touch. He's only done it a few times before, rarely on purpose, but it seems like a valid solution. Tease don't eat dead flesh, he's been told. ]

Could always turn you. That would solve your pesky conscience problem.

[Wouldn't that be a creative solution to the problem and a lovely fuck you to the inhabitants of Marina who put him this way. He has no doubt that it wouldn't work out in his favor - he's already had a taste for blood before. It wouldn't be anything new and the thought of bloodlust returning isn't... ideal, what gives him a brief sense of comfort is that if it were to pass, he'd enjoy it's return. The prospect of it now, not so much, but like a junkie holding a fix it's not that hard to imagine the time to come will make everything better.

Alas, there are issues.] Tempting. But wouldn't they stake you for it?

	For not killing you? Sounds like something they'd do. [ He scoffs, taking a deep swig off one of the bottles. Sick and tired of the bloody Defence Force and their torturous methods, of their holier-than-thou attitude, megalomaniac tendencies. ] If they want to stake me, let them. I'm not going down quietly. [ Not without a fight. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Why is it he knows it would be better, but he can't push himself toward doing it because even though he'll forget about his doubts they still plague him now? He only went with the Earl because he knew he could balance both of his lives and get the best from both worlds.] For now, just get these out of me. I... can't decide on anything else yet.

	[ It's the filthy humanity in you. The soul that makes it impossible to get rid of the soul, the conscience that makes it impossible to kill the guilt. He knows this well. There'll be no pushing tonight, even if the offer will remain on the table. ] Whenever you're ready, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[One last long, bubbling gulp and Tyki sits forward in his seat. Sets the bottle down and he can feel the alcohol working, at least for a little while until the Tease suck it out of him too. Tolerance is a bitch but at least when they're gone, provided he's not bled to death, keeping a buzz going should be a lot easier. He cranes his neck from side to side and looks to Spike.]

How should we do this. Where... do you want me. [Another more tipsy chuckle.]

Couch. Lay your ass down.

[ He pushes himself up on his feet, cracking his neck in the process. It takes some precision to not tear a jugular, it's easier to hold Tyki down and keep him from squirming on the couch. Easier to pin him, easier to give him a place to rest when the blood loss takes over.

Still not at all convinced this will succeed, but what the hell. Either way he'll be one bro short if this fails, regardless if it's because of Tease or him accidentally a murder. ]

[Tyki obliges, heaving himself over with half a mind to take another swig but instead just crumples back against the cushions. But before he lays down entirely, he strips off his shirt - showing the brilliant array of scars on him in the process. The only good thing that's come of... this - is that they don't ache anymore. They don't burn.

With that in mind, he eases down and stretches out. He knows this is gonna be a bitch.] There won't be more than ten.

[ Spike kneels down next to the couch for now, trying to find a good spot where he can stay steady during the bite. His fingers run up the other man's torso in a firm caress, meant to be appraising but landing a little too close to affectionate for his liking. Still, they've been through some shit. So much shit.

This is the least he can do. ]

Ten. Got it. [ Leaning over he moves his hand over Tyki's chest, putting weight on his arm to hold him down. His free hand go to Tyki's jaw, coaxing his head back with surprising gentleness. ] Won't hurt a bit, love.

[He laughs and it reverberates down the taut skin of his neck as he tilts his chin up, feeling Spike's hand on his throat. This is a pretty defenseless position and he's all too aware, but it's too late to back out. Too late to care. He's disappearing anyway, death's not permanent and whatever gets the little creepy crawlies away from his organs in the end will be worth it. It's only fair the blood he'll shed in the process not go to waste.

His chest heaves a little harder than he'd like in the moment, heart thrumming. There's a void where the pleasure would've been coursing through his veins about now - the threat of danger, the joy of pain. He still gets an adrenaline high swirling in with the drink but yes. There's apprehension. His hips shift and his body is tense, all too aware of Spike's presence. Waiting for it.

His eyes, lids low, flick back to look at Spike from the tilted angle.] If you say so.

[ That he even got Tyki prone like this shows a tremendous amount of trust, more than he ever expected. They've been through so much shit together and as much as he loves his girlfriend, it'd be Tyki he'd pick if he needed a right hand man. For all the backstabbing, there's still some loyalty in there.

The heavy beating of the other man's heart hits him right in the demon, bloodthirst welling to the surface and he has to talk himself through it lest he chickens out. This is mercy, this is consent, this is saving a life rather than taking one and his conscience will just have to deal with it.

Leaning in, he presses his tongue against the pit of Tyki's throat. Wet and cold, he takes a moment to find the right spot. It's not just a matter of biting, it's about minimizing blood loss and when he picks his spot, there's a smidge of hesitation before he shifts into vamp face. ]

Here we go.

[Too late to turn back. Too late to get cold feet. Too late to - Christ, he wasn't exactly expecting tongue (cold one at that) so his eyes flutter open but stare purposely at the ceiling. That did nothing but accelerate his heart and give his gut a little unexpected turn. To deal with that... he laughs again, chuckling to himself to ease away anxiety.

He's Tyki Fucking Mikk, why must he be anxious?] You really look hideous like that.

	[ That brings him to a stumbling halt mid-approach and if his brow wasn't so rigid it'd be furrowing by now. ] Hey, you asked for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm only making commentary. [Mildly drunk commentary that isn't exactly a lie. For a line better suited to the other thread: Spike is a lot more attractive without the game face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
