[There's a smirking vampire on the screen.]

So, we've got another fresh wave of new people. Hullo, new people. I'm Spike, the good guy vampire. Welcome to the Barge. I'd answer any questions you've got, but there are far better people out there to play tour guide. So... good luck with the redeeming and being redeemed stuff. I'm sure you'll all have an incredibly interesting time here.

[Vampire Filter]

As for the new vampire that apparently decided to bite someone, and any other new vampires, if they showed up. There's blood in the kitchen, plenty for everyone. Stick with that, it saves us the trouble of finding you and hauling you down to Zero, or just staking you if you resist too much. Just behave, all right?

You're a vampire?

Hello, Spike. I'm Sarah. Thank you for the welcome.

If it helps, I'm not like most vampires.

I'm not sure what that means, given the circumstances.

[She can't help but smile, herself. She's heard about Rayne and Claudia already.]

What are most vampires like?

In my world? Soulless killers, with two exceptions.

Let me guess. One of those exceptions is you.

Perhaps it isn’t the source the matters, but the fun and the feeling. We're monsters, Monsieur, you just wish to masquerade as something different.

Not being a soulless killer is big achievement. I always say you should take due credit for your accomplishments.

It's more difficult than you'd think, love. Worked bloody hard to earn my soul back.

It's something inside you, but when you don't have it... there's a big difference. Right and wrong aren't exactly clear. Sure, you might know the basics, like that killing's bad, but you don't care. You revel in destruction and violence and evil because it's fun, and you don't care how it affects the people that aren't you.

If that is what you have to say on the matter, then you are not a vampire as I am.

...no, I'm Spike. And I bloody didn't.

[Bit is Dawn's nickname. And though he is William, he rarely goes by that name, and it rankles him to hear (or see) it coming from a stranger.]

Not a threat, pet. A promise. I protect people. The vampires here are getting their shot at redemption, same as the rest, so I won't attack you unprovoked, but you'll not be hurting anyone. I won't let you.

It impresses the ladies.

[Actually, there was only one lady, and Spike was more worried about never hurting her again than impressing her, especially once he got the soul. But it is a vulnerability, and a deeply personal story, and Spike doesn't really want to get into it.]

From: [personal profile] darknessb4me
[He doesn't have a soul. He remembers having one, though, and he was a different person then. He doesn't want to be replaced by that person when his warden does whatever he's planning. They hurt too easily, and too deeply.

Sigh, disconnect.]
