374 - open dreams
[ Dirty your nails. ]

[ You wake up in a coffin. You probably won't remember how you got here but now you're six feet under and awake. There's only one way up, through silk and walnut and several feet of loosely packed dirt. Maybe you panic before realizing you don't even breathe, and then panic some more. Maybe you'll just dig yourself out without further ado, because what else is there? Either way, you'll emerge in a graveyard.

It's the dead of night, but you can see clear as day. Everything sharper, more vibrant, crystal clear, an assault on supernatural senses. Cigarette smoke wafts through the air — Spike, sitting on a tombstone, waiting for you. ]

Took you long enough.

[ A night out ]

[ The Bronze is packed tonight. A local band is playing, high schoolers dancing or playing pool or drinking non-alcoholic drinks. A girl with red hair is fooling herself that she's doing homework in a corner when in reality she knows she'll get dragged out onto the dance floor before long, probably by the intense blonde who's already working her moves to the rhythm. It's a good night, good energy.

A guy in a black leather coat and bleach blond hair is surveying the crowd, slowly making his way along the outskirts with menacing intensity. Recognize him? Think this is a good time to say hi? ]

[ It's fine if she hates him. He's used to that, kind of revels in it but he wants her to hate him fair and square rather than for some reason she's made up in her head. It was never personal, biting her, and maybe now she understands why he did it. He apologised too, which is... absolutely unheard of. He's trying here, Martha. He really is. ]

Now we clean up. [ He leans down over the boy to snap his neck, ensuring that they're not siring a baby vamp tonight. ] And leave before someone gets any ideas.

	Ideas? Ideas like what? Taking his car for a spin before we drop it off a cliff? Razing the town? Saying fuck all and having a good shag? It's been ages since I've had a good shag. God this feels good! I haven't felt this well in forever! [You probably shouldn't have let her gorge, Spike.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ No, this is great. He likes her so much better this way. ] I was more thinking about other people getting ideas, usually involving pitchforks and torches... but I like yours better. Let's do it. [ Maybe not the shagging. Maybe. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[This is fun. Now. Perhaps when she wakes up and realizes just what she had dreamed, Martha will feel differently. But for now, she's enjoying this.]

No. Pitchforks and torches tend to make things less fun. Unless we're the ones wielding them. Seems prudent to pack up our corpse and go for a drive.

[She grins back at him as she reaches down and slings the delivery boy over a shoulder. Of course, Martha wasn't weak as a human, but she certainly didn't have strength like this. She rather liked this.]

[ It's bound to be interesting, whenever their paths cross again. He's sure to think back on this fondly, but who knows if she'll feel the same way. ]

Good plan. I'll drive. [ Since she's got her hands full. He locates the car, popping the trunk for her to unload their dinner before getting into the drivers seat. Probably started more cars without keys than with by now. ]

	[He'll look back on in fondly; Martha will look back on in with deep embarrassment. She lets out an exclamation of protest when he calls out he's driving, but she supposes she let that happen by picking up the corpse.] Fine, but I get a chance before we lose the car. [Spike hasn't seen how she drives. She can be fairly reckless.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ You say this as if he's Mister Road Safety. He revs the engine with some impatience — it's been awhile since he drove down a road sign or raced the sunrise. ] Fine, but only because it's your first night. [ Rolling his eyes, long suffering. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Martha stuffs the body in the trunk and slams it close before hopping into the passenger seat and giving him a radiant smile.] Thank you! [She'll even plant a small kiss on his cheek. See? She can be a sweet baby vampire.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Aren't you the sweetest of the sweet? He grins before putting the pedal to the metal, driving off into the balmy Californian night with screeching tires as is the way they do it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
