XIX -- video -- sixth floor;

[Spike's walking through the halls, trying not to look nervous or rushed. The things Yanky Cthulhu or whoever he was had said about Spike being on some sort of list, about him dying, he'd hoped it was some new inmate mouthing off, but with all the other weirdness, all the gods and possessions... he can't help but think that it was probably more. He needs to find his inmate. And he needs to warn everyone else.

When he sees two of the big Aztec warrior blokes, he curses and ducks into the pool room. No time to track Elphaba down. He quickly turns on his journal. He looks worried, but he doesn't have time to try and compose himself.]


Look, I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but in case it wasn't already obvious, these god people are bad news. Keep track of your people, everyone, get somewhere safe if it's possible.

[Elphaba]

Love, something's going on. I don't know if I'll be able to protect you. Get somewhere safe. I'll find you if I can. Don't trust the gods or anyone not acting like themselves.

[He hopes she's not possessed.]

[Warden Filter]

One of the gods said something about me being on a list and dying. I don't know if--

[He breaks off and looks up as the Aztec Warriors come into the room.]

Please, come with us.

Just be careful, all right? And someone find Elphaba, I don't think I'll be able to protect her.

Come with us, honored one.

[Spike shuts off the journal and slips it in his duster pocket. Then he stands up.]

Do your worst.

[ooc: So despite Spike's best efforts, he is going to get captured this time and hauled down to zero. So all replies to this entry will happen after a violent fight in which any normal human would have died, but Spike didn't try the heart-ripping method, so eventually they overpowered him. Also, he's getting held over a chili fire in hopes that it will make him less annoying. It won't work, he'll just get grumpy. So assume time lapse by the time Spike replies!

Also, the purple dialogue is the Aztec Warriors, if that wasn't obvious.]
batmanschmatman: (Oh Titans drama.)

Are just wardens on the list? Did you get any other details out of him at all?

[ooc: Dick is at some point going to get hunted by his own squad of Aztec fanboys, so his replies might be... time skipped and potentially concussed depending on how that goes. >> ]

[After a while, Spike gets time to check his journal.]

No clue. He wasn't exactly forthcoming with information. What's going on now?

[ooc: works for me!]

Nice to know they're so chatty.

I'mmm being pursued by a couple of them, but I'm more or less okay. Haven't heard from too many other people, but it seems like everyone's either in lock down or preparing for the worst.

How are you?

[Spike snorts.]

I've been tortured by worse. But I'm in Zero, and so far, I haven't had a chance to escape.

[When things get worse, he may not wait for that chance, but he's not going to throw his life away.]

They don't die. At least, not in the way humans do. I snapped one warrior's neck and he just... got better.
batmanschmatman: (Guess you lost my audition tape.)

Bummer.

Thanks for the head's up. [Not that he'd been killing them anyway, but that sure explains why it feels like they aren't going away.] How closely involved are the possessed people? How many people are in Zero with you?

[Filter] WAY TO ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS. /makes stuff up.

[personal profile] bigbad 2011-01-08 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Just me and the people who were here before all this started.
batmanschmatman: (Being chased.)

I'd offer to come bust you out, but I've got a feeling with my tail, that's the last thing that'd help.

Look on the bright side. You show up, we'll have twice the chance of taking them down from here.

Focus on yourself. I'll manage well enough for now.
batmanschmatman: (Pretty pleased with himself.)

Guess you've got a point. I'll see if anyone else feels like trying to form a resistance or something.

[He's relatively close to making a joke about how focusing on himself is something he's always sucked at, but decides against it. He's probably already going to get lectures from certain other people on the Barge if he gets himself killed.]

Dru?

Totally doing something in retaliation! Something undefined, because I don't know what it is...

They're like scarecrows, Spike... They keep getting back up...
bigbad: injuries ([Neutral] earnest)

Spike says just stay safe. :|

[personal profile] bigbad 2011-01-09 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I've noticed. Have they come after you?

A bit hard to do. :c

[identity profile] deathly-dru.livejournal.com 2011-01-09 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
They'd like to...

But, Spike... There's ashes in the air.

I can smell it.

So long as they're not your ashes, all right?

I'm fine. I'll get you out.

No, you'll keep yourself safe. Coming to get me will just get you caught as well.
