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.

[/Elphaba]

[Buffy]

Want to meet my inmate?

[Deadpan.] I'm sure if I think hard enough, your name'll come back to me.

Anyway, I'm sure I want her to meet you. She's not very good at talking to people, and, well, that's something you're very good at. I think it'd be good for her.

[She laughs a little.]

Aww, Spike. Okay, okay. Just.. I don't know how seriously I'm gonna be able to--

Does she do the laugh?

[Private | Audio]

[bigbad]

[A long suffering sigh.]

No, she rarely so much as cracks a smile. She is green, though. I'm going to regret this, won't I?

[Private | Audio]

[slayage]

[She's snickering a little. Then she pulls it together.]

Green, I can deal with. A non-issue. It's the whole character from my childhood thing.

I'll be good. [Pause] I'll try to be good. Any other things to avoid? Should I not wear red shoes?

[Private | Audio]

[bigbad]

...I don't think red shoes are a problem. Don't call her a whore. Can't imagine you would, but she nearly bit a man's ear off for it.

I told her we'd meet her in fifteen minutes. How's that?

[Private | Audio]

[slayage]

Uh, if someone called me a whore, I'd react similarly.

Sounds good.

[Private | Audio]

[bigbad]

Yeah, can't say I punished her for that one. [Also, it was a flood, so he probably wouldn't have even if she'd bitten him for a worse reason.]

On my way.
