[Spike knows it's a flood, and he's not particularly happy about it. Still, so far he doesn't seem to be affected, as far as he can tell. He's sitting on his bed, smoking, and not looking at the camera, though he knows it's on.]
A flood again? That's bloody brilliant, mates.
What's this one, then? Not musical, thank God.
Guess I'll just watch and see when it abates.
[He glances over at the camera.]
Have people noticed anything that's odd?
The Barge can get so hellishly insane.
With floods and ports, and strange dimensions, right?
The Admiral must like how we curse his name.
How long till he drives vamps with souls to bite?
[He shakes his head, smiling a bit.]
Don't be alarmed, I'm nowhere near that place.
But who can know what horrors next we face?
[ooc: Spike's power, which he cannot turn off, is to speak in perfect iambic pentameter. He shall be answering in rhyming couplets, sonnets, quatrains, whatever I feel like. Also, he hasn't noticed anything amiss himself.]

And then again, there's power in my blood,
So maybe I don't have to sing this tune.

Oh bugger, god, how do I deserve this?
To burn in Hell, sure, that'll come to pass.
But poetry? And here and now? It's piss.

Date: 2011-02-07 03:03 pm (UTC)You write quite artful prose, sir, I must say. Well, for the limited subject matter you do have.

Date: 2011-02-07 03:10 pm (UTC)What is that... thing that sits atop your head?
When did it die? Or is it not yet dead?

Date: 2011-02-07 03:16 pm (UTC)[Sexby looks up. The hat has changed to his affronted hat (http://www.lenapeprograms.info/images/pilgrim_hat.gif). He is now quite confused.]
I think something gravely odd is going on, sir, with your use of verse and my... hat.
[The hat switches to confused. (http://lebanonism.com/lebwp/wp-content/uploads/cavalier.jpg) Sexby frowns.]

Date: 2011-02-07 03:30 pm (UTC)The Admiral called. A flood's come rolling in.
Re: video.
Date: 2011-02-07 03:37 pm (UTC)I am aware, sir, but what flood would involve you speaking in rhyme, and myself having a hat with a mind of it's own?
video.
Date: 2011-02-07 04:46 pm (UTC)Perhaps it's random, confusing us more.
I've made a pact, and I will see it through,
But times like this just make me bloody sore.
Re: video.
Date: 2011-02-07 04:50 pm (UTC)I see no point in this except to vex us in discovering what particular affliction we are to suffer, and it is most diverse and inaccurate.
Re: video.
Date: 2011-02-07 05:27 pm (UTC)So perhaps that could be the Admiral's end.
Re: video.
Date: 2011-02-07 05:49 pm (UTC)I certainly do not trust that man with my sanity, at any rate.

Date: 2011-02-07 06:02 pm (UTC)Hell, I'd just like to drink. And not to think.

Okay, and I'll pretend you spelled "pentameter" right. :-P
Date: 2011-02-07 05:25 pm (UTC)Oh, gee, you think? And here I thought I had
An awful cough, you stupid bint. Were I
To start up robbing banks again, I'd use
A better name, and I'd do more than try.
