asgardeventide | video ↯ the first ⇒ he came back with a story to say

[ the video is dark, but spike's frame can be made out, slumped by his window in thor house, idly puffing on a cigarette. the pinch and burn to his lungs was a new sensation and he wasn't sure if he hated it or if it made him want to smoke more, but either way it doesn't show on his face and nor does he stop. ]

When I would get riled, or scared, my mum always used to tell me a story. A different one, but I was always the star. [ it's said fondly, but with a sadness too old for this plane alone. it was a tone he used a lot in asgard. he blew his smoke out the window and carried on without looking at the feed. ]

And so when it was my turn to do the caring for someone else, I would do that. I would tell her a story where she was a countess; a sorceress; a queen. [ his queen. he hated stirring up these feelings -- it was time to get to the punchline already. ]

I just got to thinking -- after all that mess, or if you're new.

[ spike gives a half-shrug then swings his gaze to meet the video, eyes bright and blue in the dim room. ]

You might could use some cheering up. [ he cuts the feed. ]

[Elektra only lets the threat linger a moment before she relaxes to her default of perfect indifference to everything around her.]

Either way, I just want my privacy. You can respect that, can't you?

[ he watches her cycle through emotions like a normal girl might try on different dresses for an outing and it doesn't faze him -- not even close. drusilla, illyria, spider; he sure did have a thing for the crazies. ]

Used to be a vampire, actually. Not that I'm shouting it from the rooftops either.

[ aka your secret is safe with me brosis. ]

[Elektra knows a peace offering when she sees one which is good; keeping her word about that would have gotten messy.] Vampire. This really is a horror film.

Don't worry, I'm a good vampire. [ it's hard to sound like anything other than a mockery of himself. ]

I gathered that from the story. Besides, if you're anything like the stories you don't blood anymore, right? All of us seem to be human here. There is little point in being a bad vampire if you don't need blood.

You've got a point there. Still... most vamps aren't like me. I mean, they change pretty significantly when they turn. Personality-wise.

[ he didn't mean to say he was a special snowflake bc mostly he doesn't like acknowledging it, so enjoy that slip elektra. ]

Not you though. [She looks interested which is probably a new look for her.] What made you different?

[ what did make him different? he'd been searching for the answer himself for over 100 years. ]

Just special, I guess. [ if 'special' meant 'lonely.' ]

You don't sound happy about it.

It's like... Rudolph, isn't it? There might be a happy ending in store for me, but for now no one lets me play their games because my big red light-up nose gets on their last nerve.

Or maybe they're just jealous.

For Rudolph I would say it's nerves. [That's not the point.] It's not really a problem for you here. We're all a little special.

You'll find someone to play with I'm sure.

And if I've already found a playmate? [ he means you, elektra. ]

[She's not sure if he's implying that or not, but it doesn't change her answer anyways so whatever!!] Lucky them.

Yeah, maybe. I'm thinking I might be the lucky one, though.

... You're awfully sentimental.

Comes with the territory, luv. [ you give it 100 years elektra, see if you don't get a little sentimental yourself. ]

[Give her like a week in her world and she'll be crying over teenage brats.] Old age makes you sentimental?

You don't believe me?

Tell me who the lucky person is and I'll consider believing you.

[ he doesn't actually have the courage to say it's her. ] ...You know a girl named Buffy?

Is she the one with the army of girls at her home?

Yep, that's the one.

She's pretty. You can do worse.

It isn't like that with us. Not anymore. [ it's not sad or mournful so much as... wan. he has better things to do than pine, here. ]

What is it like? [Since they are on the topic.]
