[location- Sanctuary] [The day after Etrigan is summoned]

Morning dawns bright and sunny over Taxon. The spring weather is holding, the blue sky is filled with puffy clouds, and oh yeah, there's graffiti over much of the Sanctuary.

It's 'art', if you can call stick figures and vulgar caricatures in spray paint 'art'.

Some, but by no means all, features of this impromptu all-night graffiti session feature the following:

There's a vampire being kicked in the ass by a blond girl. Subsequent doodles down one side of the building seem to involve the use of stakes as impromptu sexual aids.

There is a crude rendition of a woman reclining amid skulls and demons, with an even cruder sidebar of a stick figure stubbly man in a costume apparently fapping away at the sight of her, captioned with a thought bubble saying 'close enough!'.

Two men, one wearing a cowboy hat and an outsized star stuck on his chest, and the other waving a gun wildly in the air, are engaged in very pornographic stick figure sex.

There's an obscenely well-endowed stick figure Catwoman being leered at by a drooling man in a sort-of bat costume, as the kick-off of a sequence that gets less and less G-rated (not that it ever was to start with) and winds up being apparently bondage with a pearl necklace. At least that might be a pearl necklace. (The artist got bored with detail, and the art on this one gets increasingly terrible.)

Not all of the drawings are sexual: there's a cartoonish vampire with an apparent collar of bones that leads back to the hand of a dour-looking figure wearing what might be a suit, who is tossing a (lovingly-detailed) femur and saying Hol, Bruder! in the speech balloon over his head.

Here's a curly-headed man with a vacant smile and a jagged line on his head, hands holding it open to reveal nothing inside, multiple question marks hanging in space above it. At his knees, a long-haired boy is kneeling, mouth open in a vapid, receptive 'O' that seems to be ignored by the man above him.

Here's a skull-- the artist spent time on this one, it's one of the better images on the wall-- with a cartoon heart above it and the words "KEEP TRYING!"

Here's a pointy-eared, long-haired man bent over with a doctor behind him, peering through an exaggerated monocle. Caption: "NO WAY WE CAN GET THAT STICK UNJAMMED, SORRY YOUR HIGHNESS"

A messy-headed, lanky youth uses an oversized magnifying glass to follow, hunched-over, a series of footsteps; he seems on the verge of walking off a precipice, but too caught up in his clews to notice.

A stick-figure girl with a sword walks away from a blob that, on close inspection, might seem to be a swaddled infant.

A dog, perhaps a dog anyway, howls at the moon while scratching at fleas with a hind leg. A collar around its neck reads REMUS.

A scrawny looking dragon snores at the bottom of one 'panel', oblivious to the sexual shenanigans happening above it.

An unkempt man with a fro and exaggerated pot-belly wanders around through the entire multi-character tableaux, with dotted lines showing his progress like a Family Circus strip; ever so often his uncertain progress is punctuated with a "WEED?" speech bubble.

Finally, there's a cheerful doodle of a man with a skunk-stripe in his hair blowing his brains out with a gun.

The artist has not bothered to sign his or her work.

"Both, I guess," Paul says automatically. "We could get you some."

He doesn't quite smile at the crack about the gun. "What, gunplay doesn't do it for you? --oh, public service announcement, never fuck someone while wearing a bulletproof vest, it gets really hard to breathe."

Metody contemplates the pictures.

"....if anything, I'd say it implies you're oblivious to shenanigans happening directly above your head."

"Man. That is one awful picture of you. You don't look like that at all."

Wyatt very nearly rolls his eyes at the thought of acquiring friggin' spurs. It's all in good fun, and heck, it's just talk.

But he slides his fingers into his back pockets instead, and looks on over with a casual shrug that utterly clashes with the cat-who-got-the-cream look in his eyes.

"Oh, I don't know," he says. "I've always thought breathing is vastly overrated."

Paul gives him a look, and follows that with an poke to the ribs. "Behave yourself, slick. We're in public, and I'm sure I could find someone impressionable if I looked hard enough."

Long only shrugs before clasping his hands together behind his back. "I am afraid I have no idea, no. Perhaps it's connected with this 'duplicate' thing, but I could not speak to that."

Especially since he cannot find Sherlock Holmes.

"I suppose everyone has parts of their past they find-- sensitive. But one can only control one's own reactions to such things."

"A figure of speech," Long says with his smile broadening. "Above my head. Beneath my nose. Within my purview, at any rate."

He tsks slightly. "It's true. I was always very well-fed. This poor fellow looks emaciated."

"I don't really see why you'd care anyway, if they don't directly involve you."

Metody brightens.

" - you know, we could just paint over this stuff, and add some color."

"Alright alright." He attempts to dodge most of the poking, because hello? Tickles much?

"Wonder why this up-an'-coming artist didn't reference my love of fish tacos," he tells no one in particular (shh, you know that's not true at all).

"Or well-hung meat." He shakes his head (alas and alack). "Would've been so much more fitting."

Logan shrugs, with a grin.

"When they signed me up and wanted me to play super-guy, I did the job, didn't much care what they put me in. Everybody looks some level o' ridiculous. Always someone out there who'll make your duds look sensible by comparison."

"Besides... there's a point o' pride in bein' able to sneak up on somebody wearin' tiger stripes like that."

"Eh, didn't quite go down like that but close enough," spike says with a smirk. That's the expression of a man who has never gone without female company for long. Except, you know, when he did.

Those days are long behind him.

No. Really. Shut up.

"Yeah. Not sure how well that goes with a guy they called 'Wolverine,' but there ya go. Had an earth-tone phase for a while, did black and gray recently. Did the black leather thing, too."

A small chuckle. "You'd like the mask. Black, flarin' up inta little points."

Kinda like his hair.

"Used to have boots to match."

"Hardly. Had my way, I'd just wear my damn street clothes and get the job done, really."

Then, a glance over her way.

"What, you never had a frilly skirt phase? Or bike shorts or somethin'?"

"I had a few 'the only costume I own is ruined, what the hell else do I have' phases," she says with a slight shoulder lift, and a smirk. "For awhile, I had a long slit skirt that I really liked, though."

"Because humans are terrible gossips," Long says drily. And so is he, but that's neither here nor there.

He arches his brows again at Metody. "Paint over it? Add color?"

You might be talking in Greek, with the comprehension he shows of your idea. Actually, if you were talking in Greek, he would have no problems.

Paul is making such a face.

"Because that would require actual wit?" he says with a shrug. Paul runs his hands through his hair.

"Look, hilarity aside and all-- I really am not happy with this bullshit."

"Her name is Buffy and she used to be here," Spike says with a small expression, melancholy almost but not quite.

[personal profile] kings_fool 2013-06-15 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Buffy?" Jeremy says, looking blank, and then looking like he's trying not to laugh.

"--dude, okay, like don't pop steel claws out and gut me or anything but-- seriously, hot girlfriend's name is Buffy? Does she have a sister named Muffy?"
loves_bitch: (With Lil Bit)

[personal profile] loves_bitch 2013-06-15 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
"She'd kick your ass without havin' t'try, y'know," Spike says so casually it /has/ to be an act.

"Her sister's name is Dawn."

And while there wasn't really any hint of a threat in him talking about Buffy, there is certainly a sense of 'Here there be Monsters' when mentioning Dawn. No one hurts the Lil' Bit if he can help it.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but the list of people who could kick my ass without having to try is pretttttttttty long," Jeremy says with the shrug of a man resigned to his place in the universe's pecking order.

"Except she might have to try some to hurt me if she's not here anymore. Because I'd think that, like, busting through dimensions or parallel worlds just to deliver a can of whoop-ass on a putz from Jersey is probably at least some work."

And since there's no 'Dawn' present, as far as Jeremy's seen, any hint of threat or warning regarding her seems to be wasted as far as Jeremy knows. He'll keep it in mind should a 'Dawn' ever show up, he guesses.

Even if he spoke badly about Dawn, Spike might not handle that so well. He's a weeeeee bit overprotective in that specific case. "I don't know as anyone knows how to get in and out of here."
