---

Spike has posed:
Standing at the bar, Spike waits patiently for a drink. Patience isn't his strong suit, but for now. He looks over all the people in the place. All those little Happy Meals on legs that he can't eat because...yeah that pain is such fun.

A sigh and he turns towards the bar. In the mirror, he notices that one person behind him isn't there in the mirror. Now a vampire, that's something he can take his frustrations out on.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Wandering in, Sarah stands by the door looking over the crowd. So far no terminators. But something makes the hair on the back of her neck stand up. Weird though, she can't point at what it is.

Too bad she can't see the mirror on the back of the bar. Too do that she would have to go further into the bar proper.

Still she can't find what is bothering her, and without any terminators she shrugs and heads towards the bar. Still careful. After all - it still is Sarah!

Spike has posed:
Spike glances at the new arrival and gives her a once over. He nods and then studies the woman that doesn't have a reflection. She doesn't seem to be making headway trying to get the shy, clearly out of place guy to go outside with her.

Spike snorts softly and takes the whiskey that is poured for him. He takes a drink and turns his attention back to the mirror. Nerdy guy found, he will notice if he leaves...really he will.

Sarah Connor has posed:
Figures. The wanna-be look-alike Billy Idol was checking her over.

"Fat chance," Sarah mutters. She was used to guys trying to pick her up. And her turning them down. Repeatedly. So far she hadn't needed to use force, but there was that one guy who thought he could change her mind..

She threatened his balls. Needless to say he found another ..victim to ply his trade.

"Draft please." She put cash on the bar.

Spike has posed:
She is pretty of course, but he doesn't ogle her by any means. He takes a drink of his whiskey and then turns to look since the nerdy guy is moving away. Fortunately for everyone, he is leaving alone and the vampire is looking for another target. Her eyes meet Spike's and they get wider and she backs away, then turns to run out of the bar in the opposite direction of the fleeing nerd.

Sarah Connor has posed:
That was weird.

"Do you always have that charm when picking up girls?" Sarah chuckles to herself.

Spike has posed:
A shake of his head and he sighs. He takes another drink and glances to Sarah,"Some nights are better than others I suppose." the Brit replies,"Of course some...." he nods to the woman's retreat,"...bloody well more trouble than they are worth."

Sarah Connor has posed:
Sarah snorts under her breath.

"Tell me about it." Then louder. "Since we have gotten past the sizing one another up for potential dates, I could use whatever you have got to get rid of pesky dates." She very carefully does not say 'guys' - after all the terminators could be either sex. "Name's Sarah."

Just Sarah. No last name.

Spike has posed:
"Sometimes you just need a drink and be entertained by the simpletons that are wandering around, victims of their hormones." he comments dryly and shrugs,"As for the other, it just depends. Some say they are repulsed by my presence. Unfortunate for them I suppose. Probably I'm better off. Most of these American birds don't know how to deal with a Brit and those that do aren't sure for how long."

Sarah Connor has posed:
"Well," Sarah takes her drink, and doesn't take a sip. "Sorry, but Brit boys are still no go for me. So are Brit girls. I don't find that rubbing nobbly bits is something I like."

Which was true in a sense, but mostly untrue. She didn't trust anyone to get close to her. Especially after the one and only time she let her guard down after Kyle, and nearly cost her lover his life.

Spike has posed:
A shrug and he looks over the crowd,"Finding a piece of tail in this crowd isn't difficult. Like I said, just enjoying a drink and some noise."

He doesn't seem to concerned about her liking Brits or no liking as the case might be.

He notices the woman from earlier change course and start to follow the fleeing nerd,"Bloody hell." he grumbles and shoots the rest of his drink and sliding off the barstool,"You just need to find the right Brit love. Change your point of view." He starts towards the exit,"See you around Sarah."
