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? ]

Were we at all similar, you would know that certain topics are dreadfully bad manners to dwell on. [Lay off showing interest in his master and their contract, and it's smooth sailing.]

But, by all means, do ask if you have questions. [He's not about to serve his life story up on a silver plate and cut it up in bite-sized pieces. And he'll... leave it up to Spike to figure out what topics are off limits and will get him attacked, apparently.]

	[ You're talking about bad manners. They couldn't be more different if they tried. He does ponder on that, thinking back on the last time they talked and actually, you know what... ] Save it. I don't think I can muster up enough interest for this conversation, let alone whatever bone dry drivel you got up your sleeve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Sebastian laughs again, and starts to head off from the alley. Spike can follow if he likes, or not (not that Sebastian necessarily has a destination planned).]

No doubt there are better ways to stave off ennui, [he answers with a slight shrug, pointedly wiping some blood from his collar. He gets it - he doesn't like talking to other demons either.

Poor Spike. Clearly he needs some better ideas to fight boredom.]

	[ Don't use French around him, you poncey twat! It does seem like this is the end of it, dream going blurry at the edges and eventually shifting to something else. Have fun wherever you end up, Sebastian. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
