... Still works.

[he fills the silence that follows with muttering -- just what I needed, where the hell is my gun -- his voice sounds oddly distant but irritable and with an edge of panic]

I guess that finally answers my question.

[a frustrated sigh]

All right, you've got my attention. How long is this going to last?

ooc - balls.

ACTION LOG DESU

[blackfoxed]

[ The location he'd picked wasn't much more than a courtyard a couple blocks away from where he was staying, already scorched and somewhat crumbled by his attempts to figure out what was dampening his flame output. He still didn't have an answer to that, once his injuries were healed. Outside interference, maybe. This unholy city itself.

Or wavering resolution, some little voice taunts, and he shoves that down where it belongs in the darkness. This had nothing to do with Uni or Regina or--

Who the fuck is he kidding.

He's waiting for someone he hardly knows not out of curiosity or even altruism, but because he's grasping at straws. He is a Guardian and he needs this, it's built into him, and if he is not a Guardian then he is just another murderer waiting for karma to catch up.

Or worse, nothing at all.

But he's wearing his smirk by the time Spike shows up, and he's not going to say anything about a certain outburst, and hopefully Spike won't ask, and maybe he is staring a little at the transparent thing. ]You weren't

ACTION LOG

[blackfoxed]

[ Gamma hesitates, and then speaks carefully. For all he knew Spike grew up as a child prostitute or government experiment or something horrific, and was the type of person to view death as a kind reward. Maybe the chance at life he'd been given in Nuadoria wasn't something to be happy about. ]

That's very accepting of someone your age.

ACTION LOG; (ffff too = to *strangles typos*)

[Spike looks at him inquisitively for a moment as he considers that statement. But he doesn't think this is the best time to get into his personal philosophies about death. Like he'd really know what he was talking about anyway.]

... I never said I was happy about it. It'd just be nice if they made up their mind.

ACTION LOG; :) :)

[blackfoxed]

[ He wants to say something, because it sure as shit seems to him like Spike takes all of this too passively, like someone just patiently waiting for everything to happen to him. But it isn't his place, and this is probably all misdirected association anyway. He can't stand passivity in other people for one reason only and it had nothing to do with them. ]

...

[ Breathe. Shrug. Recall the Volpi. It's not his problem. ]
