first punch -- video;

[The feed flickers on to show a very annoyed looking vampire with several partially healed bruises and cuts on his face. They're from a fight that happened before he got here, actually, and have nothing to do with why he's annoyed. He managed, just barely, to get through the vogon lines without actually attacking anything. He thinks this proves he's grown as a person.]

And I thought Wolfram and Hart's paperwork was evil. If I have to deal with those flabby ponces again, I may kill something.

[His accent, for those who know anything about Earth accents, is British. He closes his eyes for a moment, then looks up again, slightly calmer.]

Right, so. I'm Spike. Who else is on this bloody thing?
