004 [Visual | Location: Castle Summers]

[bigbad]

Spike sits at a table, looking straight into the tablet. His arms are crossed, and he looks annoyed.

"All right, I'm looking for a girl," he says. "She was one of the people the Master took, long brown hair, very pretty, probably knows Drusilla. You all right, love?" He doesn't know her name, and he still feels bad about not pulling her out. But he had to take down Drusilla first.

He pauses for a moment, licking his lips, then leans forward. "Not actually her I need, though, I put my coat over her during the fight. It's a long, black leather duster, and I'm bloody attached to it. So whoever's got it, give it back."

He clicks off the transmission and sits back to wait for answers.

You left your coat to that bitch? You deserve to lose it, then.

[sorry, man, he doesn't recognize your voice]

Oi! Don't think she did anything to you, did she?

[have a good deal of pausing, Doctor! He's still got the thickest American Southern accent around (apart from Sookie), and boy is his tone icy right now]

No more than you did.

Oh, are you still bitter about the bombs? Hasn't everyone had their go at me about those yet? She had nothing to do with them, leave her alone!

Are you also flippant 'bout convincing folks to die for your crazy plans?

[voice]

[there's a very long pause]

Who are you?

[voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

Somebody dead. Again. Thanks to you.

[voice]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

John?

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

John's dead.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

Like that's ever stopped me. That your name, then? John?

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

No.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

Doctor seems to think it is.

[voice]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I was there, I remember.

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

Oh, you do. That's great. So tell me, Doctor - what is it about you people that makes it okay to forget the dying and the dead?

[voice]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I didn't want you to die, that's not what happened!

Hello, I'm a bloody hero. I don't just leave injured, unconscious girls without anything. Bad enough that I had to leave her for someone else to do the rescuing while I fought.

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

That girl is a vampire who tortured several folks. Ain't nothing heroic 'bout that.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

[Coldly.] I didn't lend my coat to Drusilla. The girl I lent it too was a human.

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

...Right then, I apologize for mishearing you. Ain't been that good of a week for me, sorry.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

...it's all right. I left the girl cause I needed to go fight Dru, as it happens. So, you know, quite the opposite.

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sorry.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

Who is this, by the way?

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

Nobody important.

[Voice]

[bigbad]

Didn't ask if you were important, did I?

[Voice]

[fireburned.livejournal.com]

I gave you an answer. Just 'cause you don't like it don't mean it's my problem.
