V - video; I don't give a damn 'cause I'm stone dead already

[breakmychest]

[Spike's standing in Salem, arms crossed, scowling around at all the cheerful people shopping for Halloween costumes. It is early evening, and the sun is down.]

Never much cared for Halloween. Some good specials on the telly, but other than that, it's downright boring. Not to mention tacky.

Still, getting out's pretty nice. Haven't been to Salem for at least half a century. Nice place.

[He glances up at a clock and scowls, then glares away from the screen.]

Hurry up, Blair! We've got quality bonding to do!

Nonsense! It reeks of FEAR!

[bigbad]

What you're calling "fear" I call sweaty children high on too much sugar.

[vampish_aleera]

Then you are not scenting the right people...

[bigbad]

On Halloween? Please. Everyone's expecting to be scared and even if they see a real monster, they assume it's just a costume. And any terror they profess to feel is simply adrenaline from surprise and suspense. That's why real monsters take the night off.

[vampish_aleera]

You are smelling the wrong people... You are weak, little one!

[bigbad]

Try me.

[vampish_aleera]

You try yourself!

[bigbad]

...that was a pathetic comeback, love.

If you think I'm weak, you're welcome to try and fight me. Otherwise, I suggest keeping your ill-thought out opinions to yourself.

Aleera + a place like this = geting high and impulsive!

[vampish_aleera]

It is truth! You cannot smell as I do - you are like old man!

[bigbad]

Yeah, you really stink, I'm getting that.

[vampish_aleera]

Shhh!

[championoftime]

Are you going around sniffing people? [Says the man thats tasting things to stay on the Joker's trail.]

[vampish_aleera]

Why not?

There are times it is difficult to avoid the stench.

[championoftime]

True. But you're not sidling up to someone and pressing your nose against their throat or anything, are you?

[vampish_aleera]

Of course not!

Mostly...

[championoftime]

I would suspect that's when they smell the most fearful.

[vampish_aleera]

YES.

Oh, dear ginger vampy. It's like a sitcom! "That's our Aleera!"

[championoftime]

with this as the theme tune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggpRnBfJGbY :D

[ Seriously, Spike, you have the audacity to order her to hurry up? She's a girl, and it takes time to look pretty. ]

You can't rush perfection, Spike! I'm almost done, alright?

[bigbad]

Just bloody finish. We've got things to do. And you look fine.

[alwaysthequeenb.livejournal.com]

You never have hung around females, have you? Or all the ones you hung around had to be freaks. Fine isn't good enough. I'm putting on the finishing touches. Can you wait for a minute longer? Or is that too hard?

[bigbad]

Fine. Just... do it.

[Spike grumbles and leans against the wall as he waits.]

I spent last halloween outside of Tulsa in the back of a van with two co-eds listenin' to appetite for destruction an' gettin' all kinds of messy.

This year it's different.

[bigbad]

Uh.

Good for you.

[yeehawkiller.livejournal.com]

Halloween is what you make it, dipshit.

[bigbad]

Just not my idea of a good time.

[yeehawkiller.livejournal.com]

An' what is? Drinkin' tea an' wotchin' the telly?

[His English impression. MARVEL IN IT]

[bigbad]

No, not really. But Tulsa's a bloody pit and I'd rather have my Slayer than a dozen co-eds.

[yeehawkiller.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll give you that. Slayer's up there with Guns an' Roses. JUST. Besides, in the back of a van with the doors closed you can be anywhere you fuckin' like.

[bigbad]

Not the band, you stupid git. My girl. And she's a hell of a lot classier than that.

[yeehawkiller.livejournal.com]

[Not that classy apparently...]

That's her name? You're bangin' a girl called Slayer??

[bigbad]

No, that's her title. She's the Slayer. Her name's Buffy.

[yeehawkiller.livejournal.com]

Now yer just makin' fun of me.
