Voice post, the second :|

[Regarding the Warden/Inmate sorting:]

... ..

.....

You've got to be kidding me.

[Private to Brian hackable to Dexter]

That's what you didn't tell me, mate? A bleeding serial killer?

Well, me too, eh? 200 years.

This is bloody beautiful. Bloody beautiful.

And to think, I just joined Dexter's book club yesterday.

Just don't turn into my shrink, and we'll do fine.

[seems startled by Brian actually responding, for some reason] Right, then. No vampire shrinks.

I think that's a made for TV movie on the Scifi channel, mate.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

God, I hope not. Even they have to have standards.

[The teasing abruptly drops from his voice - ] So, you got a plan?

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Fuck no.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

[okay, that legitimately amuses him]

Not one for plans?

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Schemes are more my trick, aren't they. [grits his teeth] How am I supposed to-

You didn't make it easy for me, yeah?

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

What am I supposed to make 'easy'? My life? I've never exactly had a lot of choices, have I?

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

-That, you were talkin' about Dexter before, weren't you? [because Spike doesn't know what it's like to be desperate for his family's approval, no siree bob]

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

Yup. Having your own brother kill you, that's gotta take the cake.

And I still can't bring myself to stop caring about the bastard. [sighs, almost exasperated with himself - though of course this casual attitude is all a cover]

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

[a little softer now that his short temper has fizzled a bit] He cared about you enough t'kill you, yeah?

Maybe you should join the book club.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

He cared about Deb enough to kill me, [he corrects, keeping a sharp rein on his true feelings about the matter. He was a long way from trusting Spike.]

No, Dexter needs his space. He wouldn't take it well if I started invading more aspects of his life. Besides, I've never been a book club kinda guy.

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Right. [Spike only knows how to get people to notice him through invading more aspects of their lives :/] Probably wise.

You don't think.. he cares about you at all? Not one lick?

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

...I'm not sure, honestly. I think I confuse him, and he doesn't like that. Whether he's allowing himself to feel something for me -- I don't know.

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

[a twang of familiarity here] Maybe you should find out.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Seems like a standard reaction to getting an inmate. Or, for that matter, a warden.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. Seems I'm irony's bitch as well as love's.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Well, they're not terrible things to be bitches for.

...what am I kidding, they're awful things to be bitches of.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Exactly, mate.

Exactly.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

So you're new around here?

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Somewhat. Name's Spike.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

I'm a little older than somewhat, but not quite a kinda new yet. Dr Hix, by the way.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Right then, were you assigned today too then?

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

No, I was last time. I did have exactly the same reaction to mine, though. Exactly.

Voice.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

[snorts] Good show, mate. Who'd they give you?

Voice.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Grindelwald. The guy from the same place as Snape and Draco.

Voice.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah, spoke to that guy. How d'ya deal with that nutter?

Re: Voice.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

...a question I haven't quite answered to my own satisfaction yet.

Voice.

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

Voice

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Nope.

Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

Voice

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

[so much sarcasm] Having fun yet?

Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Buckets of it.

Voice

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Fantastic. We should celebrate.

Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I got whiskey.

Voice

[yousethimfree.livejournal.com]

Have I told you you're awesome?

Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

What if I don't like what I find?

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

That's always my problem too. Think the idea is you'd regret it a lot more not tryin'.

Not sure that's true, though.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

[sighs audibly] I know. I'm sure I'll find out anyway. Was always too curious for my own good.

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Curiosity kills more'n just cats, you know.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

Oh, I'm aware.

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

[the smile's pretty audible] Sure y'are, mate.

Private // Voice

[acrotomophile]

[the smile takes him aback enough that he finds himself smiling, too]

Just can't help myself, I suppose.

Private // Voice

[rudolphofvamps.livejournal.com]

Not many've us can.
