[ It's surprisingly early, for him. Vampire habits and all that, this transmission should happen later in the afternoon but it doesn't. He also sounds surprisingly drunk for it being this early in the day — effort was taken to reach this level of inebriety. It's clear in the tone of his voice, the stubborn lack of video, the briefness of the message. ]

Rose is gone. She was a good person even if you wankers didn't appreciate it.

[ And off goes the feed. He'll make his way to the graveyard with as many bottles of whiskey as he can possibly carry. Gotta start early in the day if you want to drink yourself to oblivion. Anyone coming across him can expect to find a fumbling mess of a man and more than one smashed bottle. ]

	I'll be fine. [ He waves a hand, dismissively. See? Fine. ] 's staying drunk that's the problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do the dead have really fast metabolisms? [Shouldn't they have no metabolism? Probably not going to make sense any time soon, is it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We heal. [ He waves that hand again, this time to summon her closer. ] You got something sharp on you? I'd stick my hand in the sun but it's not doing much in this bloody fishbowl. [ Ah, the hours of fun he and Angelus had once upon a time, daring each other to stay in the sunlight the longest. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She does step closer.] Sun burns you? [Not like she has ever seen it happen.] And I do have something sharp, but if you're telling me you want to hurt yourself with it for a demonstration I can just imagine. Logan can do the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To a crisp. [ Something he'll have the joy of doing a few years from now. ] Don't be such a spoil sport. I won't even feel it. [ Yes he will. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since when don't you feel pain? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since two bottles ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. It may learn to swim. And I'd rather see if I can go through a day without hurting anyone. You know, just as a fun little game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Fine. Be that way. [ He slumps back against the headstone, deflated. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know, I'm the worst. [Sits next to him, letting her shoulder lean against his because words didn't do much, but just being with people helped her. Not sure if it would be the same with Spike, but probably worth a shot.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He just... looks at her. Bewildered. She keeps doing this thing where she cares but he can't figure out why. It's not like Buffy who found a way to use him and later discovered what a good soldier he could be (can be, in a distant future). This is something else and he's not sure he likes it so he just tenses, stares. ] I'm not looking for a rebound. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That gets a surprised laugh.] Neither am I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What, then? Why are you here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	You helped me when I was hurting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	[ He scoffs. What did you honestly expect from him? ] You don't owe me anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, this weird thing happens sometimes when someone is nice to you and instead of just wanting to make things square you sometimes start wanting to be nice to them too. It's probably a pyramid scheme or feelings or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	[ Why do good guys have this insatiable need to be nice to someone on their terms? He doesn't get it. He's not inviting interactions here. ] What are you hoping to accomplish, Sheriff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	Why are you so suspicious about my intentions? I don't have a Spike to do list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, what could you possibly have done to make me not trust you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	If you think I did that to hurt you, you're not as insightful as you act. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-01-12 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	And if you didn't think that would hurt me, you haven't been paying attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-12 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	I don't like hurting people, but I'll do it to save lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The decisions weigh heavily on her, but he was attacking people. They stopped him without even killing him. It's big. It's damaging. She feels for him. But she doesn't see it as wrong. There was no perfect solution. Everyone gets their hands at least a little dirty when it comes to this.

And she needs to stop beating herself up for things that left everyone still standing. If he wants to keep going, that's his choice.]

You really want to keep having this argument?

	You keep talking to me. [ He gives her a look, unfixed, unsteady. ] You really think I'm just going to forgive you? That I'll shrug my shoulders and... and frolic over the meadows? Fuck no. I don't know what the hell you want from me, but if you think I'm going to be your friend after that? Think again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
