XXXV--voice;

[breakmychest]

[Spike's voice is husky and tired at first, but it gets stronger as he talks.]

...that nap was a bit longer than I expected. Take it this is what a Barge Coma is, then? How long was I out? And what did I miss?

[Locked to Elphaba]

Sorry I wasn't around, pet. Everything okay? And have you made any friends?

[Locked to Buffy]How often did you visit

[OH GOD THANK GOD YES. ...And now the horror sets in. How much does he remember? What does he know? Why on earth is he asking that? Buffy clicks on the video when she calms down, and she puts on a very guarded, slightly paranoid expression.]

A week, you missed some stuff, and..

Why? [More paranoid eyes. She's trying not to look suspicious, but you know how Buffy looks when she's trying to not look suspicious... Very suspicious.]

[breakmychest]

Cause the room reeks of you. Not that it's a bad thing or anything. Plus, a whole lot of my food's gone, and I know I didn't eat it.

[He gives her a bit of a smile.]

I'm just wondering.

[Video | Private]

[aboutpower]

Ohh. [Sigh.] You know, that smelling thing? It's cheating.

I was there earlier. Last night. [A beat.] And some other days. [Every day, some days more than once, and some days she slept on the couch.]

[SUBJECT CHANGE YAY!] We've got a new vampire on board.

[breakmychest]

At some point, we should finish up that talk we were having.

[He raises his eyebrows at that.]

Oh? Someone we know?

[needshumility]

Hello. You don't know me, I think I arrived whilst you were 'out'. But my name's Eddie Russett, and I'm... trying to look into what causes these comas.

I don't suppose you remember where you were or what was happening?

private

[breakmychest]

Yeah, in my room, talking with a friend.

Re: private

[needshumility]

Did they see it happen?

private

[breakmychest]

Yeah.

[He's being a bit cagey about it. He knows the conversation had been an important, personal one, though it had been interrupted, and he doesn't know this new guy. He's not about to offer more details than the bare minimum.]

[most_feared]

The usual. We got stuck on an island. The vampires were okay with the sun.

How're you feelin'?

[breakmychest]

I missed that? Damn.

All right. A bit more tired than I'd expect.

[most_feared]

Yeah, but apparently he wanted us to try caveman cuisine. Beat things to death with a rock and all that because we couldn't take anything sharp and pointy down with us.

That slept-too-long feeling will do that to you. Glad to see you're up, though.

[breakmychest]

Doesn't sound too bad, really. Then again, I've got sharp and pointy bits in my mouth.

Yeah, me too.

Private

[vinkus_witch]

Yes, and no. I'll work on it.

Private

[breakmychest]

...That's something, I guess. Any thoughts on who you're going to try and befriend?

Private

[vinkus_witch]

I was thinking Rex.

Private

[breakmychest]

The wanker who likes taking over minds? Can't say I'll ever like him.

[strangehstorian]

Oh dear.

Do you mind if I ask you some questions? We're trying to figure out what causes them.

[breakmychest]

Yeah, I bloody mind. Talk to the bloke who already interrogated me, why don't you? I don't need this.

[strangehstorian]

Oh. Alright. I'm sorry to bother you, sir. Do you need anything? Tea?

[breakmychest]

Could use some blood.
