Normally it's annoying as hell giving all the new people the tedious "Welcome to the Barge, try not to break anything" speech, but I didn't mind as much this time around. [He's still enjoying having Buffy around. Oh, and Andrew's here too. Which is... better than some people who could have shown up.]

Hello, new people I haven't already spoken to, I'm Spike. Vampire warden, got a soul, won't bite unless you really annoy me... I lied, it's still boring.

[Elphaba]

So, did you do your homework this week, love?

Also, there's someone I'd like you to meet.

[Buffy]

Want to meet my inmate?

Non-evil humans don't generally do it in bulk, and they generally have more reason besides it's fun, and they generally don't eat their victims.

Humans also have souls.

SPAAAAAM

Oh. Good. That's good.

[She gives Chistery a little wave and a smile, still not sure if she wants to pet it or not. Buffy then focuses her attention back on the people in the room. She gives Elphaba a polite look-over, but has trouble not staring at her.]

You're, uh, much prettier than in the movie I saw. With you. Or the person acting as you.

[Oh god, was that the right thing to say? It was completely sincere, but.. She was trying so hard to take this seriously.]

"What's a movie?"

[Previously, aside from the books, people had mentioned a musical, a children's show, concepts Elphaba was familiar with in the form of live performances, but she'd never heard the word 'movie'.]

It's sort of like a very large picture, only it moves and there's sound. And usually a story. They made one based off the book I told you about.

[Buffy smiled a little awkwardly, giving Spike a was that a whoops moment? look. She then focused back on Elphaba, shrugging a little. She had no words at this moment.]

"I see. And of course I'd be prettier in real life. I suspect the movie was probably some sort of propaganda."

SPAAAAAM

[bigbad]

Or it was an entertaining romp through a magical land.

[He glances back to Buffy.]

Not what we're here about, anyway. I mostly just wanted to introduce you two. Since she's, you know, important to me.

A 'soul'. How poetic. You're a philosopher vampire now as well?

[bigbad]

Not really. I'm not one for deep thoughts and pondering the nature of reality and whatnot. As it happens, I've experienced life with and without a soul, so I know that exists.

[sharpememory.livejournal.com]

I like you. You're kind of hilarious. It's fun how you've worked all this stuff out like it really could exist.

[bigbad]

Yeah, real mind for details, that's me. Story like I've got could take a good century and a half just to map out, right?

SPAAAAAM (I'm up for continuing this if you guys are!)

[slayage]

Yeah. [Buffy smiles a little, still feeling rather awkward.] Much prettier.

[She gives Spike a glance too. One of silent comradeship.]

Anyway, it's nice to meet you Elphaba.

"Well, I'm glad to see my prettiness is so distracting to you, I can't say that that's happened terribly often."
