Hey Kitty. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to take some time off from dispatch. Been doing it a while and I think I just need a break. I'll probably still drop by HQ every now and again and if you need me in a pinch chances are I'll be free to help out. But I've just got some stuff to sort out right now and get my head squared back on my shoulders.

[Private to Spike]

You still up for shots, popcorn and maybe some nail painting? I've got a load of bad rom-coms and a stack of horror flicks if you're interested. I promise no blood smoothies. Though seriously, you have to wonder what they'd come out like.

	Oh, the 1800's. [ That's easier. Stupid years being weird. ] Probably one of the worst times you could be alive, if you ask me. Lots of colonization and syphilis... China was more fun. Opium dens, revolutions. Better than Britain by a long shot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[I could go "bleh years" but let's just play it off like Rebecca's gentle ignorance on stuffy boring topics. She sucks her teeth, amused.] Oooh, syphilis.

So Britain's not the be all, end all? My teammate used to make it sound so. [Snorting at what is about to go full circle back to STIs.] He used to go on about how it would tolerate Europe like you'd tolerate herpes.

	In full honesty — and I'm saying this as someone born and bred in London — brits are bloody wankers. You think vampires are bad, you should take a closer look at what those gin-swilling, self-righteous, stuffy merchants of destruction did to the world as a whole. If he thinks Britain is the be all, end all, he needs to get out of her Maj's basement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The more you validate my opinions in an unfinished argument with Shaun, the more I love you Spike. [She has great fuel for that fight if it ever starts up again. 'Gin-swilling'. It's perfect.] So you traveled a lot? We've got that much in common. Last place I was before here was Italy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-13 08:35 am UTC (link)
	[ Good God he hopes Shaun shows up here. The arguments that could be had. ] Wasn't really a good idea to stay too long in the same place, so yeah, I traveled a lot. China, the US... Prague was a shitshow. Spent some time in Europe in the 40s. Ate a nazi. [ Yep. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How were your travels? Mine were mostly in thin ass sleeping bags on cement floors. Bet you got beds half the time, though I guess vampires don't need shut eye as much. Do you? [Has she asked this before? It seems like something that could be annoying, really. Being awake all the time. Amazingly useful just as well.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, we sleep. Best way to pass the daylight. [ If you're safe enough to not set fire to yourself or get staked while you snooze. ] Dru was always keen on a four poster bed, but when I was on my own I slept wherever. Basements, sewers, cemeteries, abandoned factories... can't be too picky.

[ Vampires live lives like homeless people more often than not. Nesting isn't a good idea. ]

Eh, the Brotherhood does that too though - safer to be on the move than anywhere people can get you in the night. [Yeah she's had enough booze to divulge her weird home life.

She seems to realize the words are coming out of her mouth as they do, blinking before deciding on more booze. What's he going to care?] That's right - did I ever tell you? I am - was - an assassin. Feels like years ago.

	[ If she did tell him, he's forgotten it by now. Sorry not sorry. ] You serious? And here I took you for a basement dweller. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[One more swig of booze before she offers it back to him.] Well, I kind of am. I run tech support for my team. What we're doing is complicated and pretty isolated lately, so... less killing and more staying on the run. All your years, you ever hear of the Templars? I wonder if they're still assholes in your universe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-13 09:42 am UTC (link)
	Only in relation to nutty conspiracy theorists. Plenty of real mystical sects out there though, usually tied up with some primordial evil or other. [ He takes a swig. Much better. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-13 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	Well, Templars are real assholes back home for me. [Huff.] Vying for universal control and the death of free will. They're totally fun to deal with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-14 11:35 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah, we've had a few of those too. Most of them are more on the total destruction route, though. Opening hell dimension and what not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-14 06:09 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what these guys think. But Assassins just fight for free will. [Which may be a big reason she's trying to look at herself and her actions here in regards to the DF and him.] Hell dimensions though. Those sound... terrifying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-15 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	They're not great... or so I've heard. Never been myself. [ But he might, now, when he has his soul back. It has to go somewhere. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-16 05:53 am UTC (link)
	I'll make a pact with you to both try and stay clear of 'em, eh? [Lighthearted, given the sentence is punctuated with a snort. And then a yawn.] I need to sit up before I fall asleep. Unless you'll do my eyeliner now? [Does batting her lashes work any?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-16 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	Not sure I have much of a choice. [ He mutters under his breath, not wanting to make a big depressing deal out of this. ] Bloody hell, you're demanding. I better be getting something good out of this. [ A leery quirk of his brow, all in good fun. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-16 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	[Becca's bad enough as it is so when the drinks start settling in, she's a little more crude around the glossing edges.] I'm saving my spit for a blow. Just make me look cute first. [She closes her eyes, grinning to herself.] Do good to get good, aye? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-17 10:24 am UTC (link)
	Bloody hell, if I didn't know you were joking... [ Don't mess with him like this. He's single and lonely. ] Alright... punk skank or cat eye? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-17 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	I don't feel refined enough for a cat eye, but what d'you think? Skanky? [She pops open one eye to look up at him, knowing all too well she's being a tease.] And who said I'm joking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-18 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	Your boytoy, that's what. [ But fine. Skank it is. ] Keep your eyes closed. I don't want to poke them out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-19 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Less the boy toy more the monogamy band. [She fidgets, playing with the bracelet on her wrist while trying to lay still for him to skank her up.] This thing's a real cockblock sometimes. The irony. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-19 08:33 am UTC (link)
	That's what you get for sleeping around. [ Although, lately... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-19 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry to stiff ya. [Her lips quirk, eyes still closed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-20 09:14 am UTC (link)
	Oh, please. It'll take more than that. [ Dork. He gently rubs his pinky over her eyelids, smudging the eyeliner. ] There. Put on a pair of kneehighs and you could get off in Camden any day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
