Well, that was interesting. Glad I didn't revert. That would have been... bloody.

[He looks distant for a moment, then shakes his head and smiles.]

Makes you appreciate what you've got today, though, doesn't it? Unless things were better then, I suppose.

[Locked to Buffy]

How are you, love? I know thinking about Angel, especially at that point, must have hurt. You all right?

[The fact that she was thinking about how she'd just slept with Angel doesn't bother him at all. No, that's not sarcasm, he's seriously fine.]

[Locked to Andrew]

Well, you were a good ten times as obnoxious then as you are now.

[This his way of paying you a compliment. Appreciate it.]



[ooc: so I finally settled on jealousy as what's changing about Spike, especially when it comes to Angel, but all over, really. He just plain isn't worried about it.]

Sure does. But I wouldn't say no to one or two more relatively low key monster fights from time to time, either.

[Private]

[bigbad]

Won't hear me complaining. I like fighting monsters. Even gooey ones.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

I know people get really annoyed when people bring this up, and believe me, I'm not complaining when people aren't trying to kill each other? But I definitely wouldn't mind a port with some bad guys to beat up.

[Private]

[bigbad]

God yes. Get a real work out, release some bloody tension.

Want to spar?

[takencareofyou.livejournal.com]

It makes me sorry I missed it Warden sir.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

As long as we don't do anything that'll land me in the infirmary again. I'm pretty sure Martha would kick my ass if she saw me down there again twice in two days.

[bigbad]

...it's Spike. And don't be. Generally, missing these things is good.

[Private]

[bigbad]

I'll go easy.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

Gym?

[Private] Wanna spam?

[bigbad]

Meet you there in ten.

[Spam] ofc :D

[batmanschmatman]

[And Dick is there in just under ten minutes, looking around for Spike.]

[takencareofyou.livejournal.com]

[snort] Better then sitting around and doing nothing.

Spike. Nice name. Still going to call you warden.

[Private]

[slayage]

[She only nods at the Angel mention. Big honking yes, Spike.] Revisiting my life before it started sucking beyond the telling of it? Mixed bag.

Sometimes you forget how much you've changed.

[Private]

[bigbad]

I never forget.

Want me to come over or something?

[bigbad]

I won't respond. And don't call me sir either.

[Spam]

[bigbad]

[Spike arrives shortly after and walks in, pausing to glance at the boxing ring and snort derisively. Then he sees Dick and walks over.]

Hey.

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

[He noticed that snort.] Not a fan of boxing?

[Spam]

[bigbad]

Never tried it. But it sounds bloody stupid. What's the point of fighting if you're not gonna do it properly?

[82prctmoremanly.livejournal.com]

Gee, thanks a lot, dude. [He's only a little sarcastic here. Interestingly, Andrew's a little more mature recently. Or always has been. So sarcasm and overreaction isn't quite as strong as usual.]

I'm tired of these floods... They're all just... really embarrassing.

[Spam]

[batmanschmatman]

Pretty sure it's wrestling that's staged. Boxers beat the crap out of each other.

[Private]

[most_feared]

I'm glad you stayed normal too. You're a good fella to have around.

[Spam]

[bigbad]

That's not what I mean. I asked that Luke Cage bloke, he said you could only use fists, and there are all sorts of rules. Fighting's not like that.

[bigbad]

Noticed that, have you? I'm glad I escaped this one.

[Private]

[bigbad]

Yeah, same to you.

[82prctmoremanly.livejournal.com]

Lucky. [He considers whining about how he always gets hit with this stuff and why does Spike get to miss out on making a fool of himself? That isn't fair.

But he doesn't.] How's Buffy? She seemed sort of, uhm... upset. During the flood.

[He manages to keep his mouth shut concerning what he knows. Dawn has told him a lot, but it would be insensitive and immature of him to disclose exactly how much he knows about Buffy's past.]
