---

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Ah, good old Bludhaven. Morrigan isn't generally a visitor to this place unless she's looking for a certain Wizard and he's been MIA for a bit. The doctor is mainly wandering this evening, checking over the sites. Taking down numbers for houses that are for sale. Someone might be planning on moving into Bludhaven. Oh joy.

But it is something else that gets her attention when she senses something magical, it's only a blip, "Well...what is that." the redhead mutters as she looks about. Bright violet eyes shining for a moment. Strange is somewhere with a sense of dread probably. This is why he can't have nice things. Or times.

Spike has posed:
There's the heavy thud thud thud of footfalls and the singing, albeit drunkenly, of a song, or maybe it's just being sung horribly off key. The latter, as there's a JD bottle with Coke in it that the Billy Idol looking vamp is slugging from, singing horrifically bad, off key renditions of modern music. Spike's managed to take an awful song. And....somehow......make it way, way way worse. Somehow.....as Spike's not drunk, there's barely any JD in the bottle, maybe a sip at most and it's all Coke with a dash of lemon juice, and he has a cigarette burning from his lips. Which given his weakness to fire, is kind of ironic....though Spike's pretending to be drunk to fit in with the touristy types in the pub and bars. Still....

He reachs a street corner and stares at the streets, looking amused. That's when he feels he's not entirely alone. Looking around he takes another swig from the bottle.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan looks a bit astounded when she hears the singing, "Is a cat dying?" she whispers to herself as her eyebrows go up in concern. Then the singer comes around the corner and Morrigan steps back towards the bushes so she doesn't get caught gawking at anyone. She takes a picture of the sign that is in front of the house that she was looking at, there's the audible 'CLICK' of the camera phone.

"Oh great." she sighs out. Hopefully no one heard that. Or if they did they don't think she's taking a picture of them.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Spike, shut. Up." The voice comes from a new face. Well, not new around here, anyway, it's Oz, dressed in his usual jeans and a t-shirt, not a band shirt this time, though, with Tibettan prayer beads hanging around his neck. He's usually easy going, but there are some people that just get on his nerves sometimes. "Oh wait, maybe that wasn't Spike," he says, approaching the vampire. He starts looking around. "Kitty please don't die on me. Please. Dying kitties are bad." He smirks slightly, spotting the person in the bushes and giving her a friendly wave, encouraging her to come out.

Spike has posed:
Spike looks around, he shakes his head and has the urge to relieve himself. Fortunately. It's liquid form. Unfortunately, it involvs hiking up his duster, because there's no way he's undoing it. He barely makes it a step before coating the surrounding area around the bushes with cat smelling levls of urine. What was he drinking in that bottle. Still, he sounds relieved. And. More importantly....he's quit singing, though the sigh he's giving is pretty much orgasmic in nature, which is worrying for all sorts of reasons. Still, he does speak once he's done "Ah that was worth it" he says with his accent in full force. "Ya take a piss and it feels better" he nods and whirls around. "Bloody Oz, creeping up on me like that. What the hell are you doing?" he asks then takes a....generous swig from the bottle. He's debating cracking it over a vampire's head, but first.....he's helping the environment. By apparently killing off plant life. or....something like that. Still he looks from Oz to the bushes, wrinkling his nose at the smell.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"Oh someone said it before me. Thank you." Morrigan chuckles as she hears another voice speak up. She's not in the bushes, she just stepped back towards them so a few might obscure her. But there's a bit of a moment she looks to Oz and she shakes her head, "He...should see a Doctor for that." she points out as she comes out from down the way. "Did Billy Idol have children around here?" she asks as she looks from the other redhead to Spike. Then back to the one that had spotted her.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz looks over at the woman again, offering a friendly smile, taking a few steps toward her and away from Spike. And completely ignoring Spike for now. "Oh, don't mind him," he says. "He's the stray dog that gets loose every night and barks at the whole neighborhood." He smiles, offering his hand. "Oz," he says, simply, by way of an introduction.

Spike has posed:
Spike mutters a few choice words to Oz, then looks to the redhead. "Hey, I'm Spike" he says and looks to Oz, then the redhead. "You are?" he asks Mo and offers a hand too. Spike's quiet.....thankfuly. He's shut his trap for a good reason.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a smile to Oz, showing too shoarp canines for a moment, "I've dealt with weirder, so it's alright." she tells him with a laugh. "Nice to meet you, Oz. I'm Morrigan, just looking at houses around here." she introduces herself as she shakes his hand. Then there's a look to Spike and a look to the hand, but she shakes his just like she did with Oz, "Nice to meet you, Spike." she tells him. "You do this around here a lot?" she asks him.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Pricy," Oz says, obviously in reference to the houses. "Try Sunnydale. Pleasure, Morrigan." He half shrugs, weird is the normal around here, after all. He pats a side pocket, having something kept there in case Spike does get too out of line. No one who lives in Sunnydale goes out after dark without some holy water and a stake. No one who knows, anyway.

Spike has posed:
"Get pissed and sing?" Spike asks. "Nah. I got bored and there's nobody stupid enough to pick a fight, so I was going to get an early start onn regretting life choices" he says waving the bottle. As he speaks his fangs can briefly be seen. "I mean. I don't normally sing....but....ya know" Spike says and twirls the bottle around with a laugh. "Felt like it tonight, ya know. Beautiful night. So you're looking at houses...you're in the right area. If you want cheap, Sunnydale to the south's your hood. Cheap housing" Spike shrugs looking sounding bored with Sunnydale.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a smile to that, "Eh, money isn't an issue for me. Not everyone can say that though." she admits. "I've got a friend that is over here a lot." she muses. "I think the commute is what's keeping me from living here." she admits. "Unless they have a position open up at the local hospital." she tells them. "I'll add Sunnydale to the list, but heard a lot of weird stuff happens over there." she chuckles. Then there's a look to Spike, "Well I'm not picking fights I know I can't win. So good on others for not doing it." she muses. "So do you guys live around here or just wandering?" she asks them.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"Sunnydale," Oz says. "Grew up there." He considers what she's saying about money, nodding slightly, with just a bit of a frown. Clearly, he's not in that situation, but he doesn't make a big deal out of it, she's not bragging or anything. "Yeah, weird stuff. Holy water and a wooden stake, those are your best friends," he says, simply. "Garlick too. Maybe a lighter." He hopes she'll know what he's getting at with all those things.

Spike has posed:
Spike looks amused. "I do live around here, got a place by the cemeteryy"
Half truth, there. he's got a place /at/ the cemetery, i.e. a crypt. "Wel" Spike nods. "Sunnydale's an interesting place. Though last time I was there somebody started throwing punches so I knocked that guy out" Spike says with a sigh, looking unimpressed....as Spike looks to Oz. "Hair clippers, a leash, a collar, maybe a muzzle and a cage" Spike adds to Oz's list, and shakes his head. Looking to Morrigan Spike smiles. "There's always jobs if you look for long enough" Spike nods, looking amused at his own list as he looks thoughtful, "You could always....never mind" Spike says.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan listens to Oz and there's a quirk of an eyebrow, "Vampire problems around here?" she asks him. "That's...actually something I'm well versed in." she admits in a quiet tone. She looks around for a camera, was she being pranked? "Oooh. A cemetery. I beat that's a neat view." she states. Then back to the guys, "It took a lot to get the job I had, so I wouldn't leave it unless it's a better opportunity or something like that." she tells them. Then there's a look between the two of them, "Subtle." she laughs. "I could always?" she asks the man.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz looks to Spike and chuckles. "Only on the full moon." He looks back to Morrigan and nods slightly when she mentions vampires. "Multiple vampire problems," he says, "one of them being right next to us. Though, he's less of a vampire problem, and more of a problem problem." He shrugs, giving Spike a bit of a warning look, but he remains silent, typical.

Spike has posed:
Spike grins, "Vampire problems, yeah and I'm doing my bit to take care of them" he says. "I'm not a problem. I'm me" he nods as he whirls around, running feet were heard as a trio of vampires came at them. Admittedly, running right at a werewolf, a vampire and a Morrigan was not a good idea. Spike braces himself for impact. He gets rammed into and is last seen being driven backwards swearing profusely. "Bloody buggering hell. Bollocks to you vampires. Piss off already you sodding bloodsuckers!" Spike yells, punching the one that's driving him backwards and has the vamp off the ground and throws it back toward the other two. "Behind ya!" Spike shouts, the other two vamps are indeed behind Oz and Morrigan. Not that they're being subtle. They are giggling and loudly yelling what they'll do with the two of them. Even Spike's more subtle than the vampires that just crashed their party.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"Werewolf and Vampire...got it." Morrigan gives a look between the two of them. She didn't seem too awfully concerned about it. One of her best friends turned into a rhyming demon. So she was chalk full of weirdos. "So you kill other vampires?" she asks him. But that's cut off as Spike is sent backwards. She reaches for something that was tucking into her jacket pocket and she stares down one that's laughing and talking. The gun is brought out and the trigger is pulled, but it's not water that comes out. It's a stream of water. The water makes contact and the vampire's skin starts to burn. Just as Morrigan's eyes glow, "Wrong conversation to crash." she tells them.

It's a squirt gun full of holy water. Yes, that's a new trick.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz grins at Morrigan, giving her a thumbs up as he snaps around, a stake in the other hand. He aims his stake dead accurate at the other vampire, lunging forward, hoping to get it through the bastard's heart. "You're still a soulless vampire," he calls to Spike. "So you're still a problem."

Spike has posed:
Spike watches and looks worried for a moment, then he's enjoying a good old fashioned punch up. his chip doesn't stop him beating down on vampires or demons, he beats the ever loving crap out of vampires and demons any chance he gets. Like Oz, Spike has a stake in hand. He's staking the one he punched, so one's dusted. Oz's stake is true....though Spike feels the need to mime staking as if reminding Oz how to do it. Which looks suspiciously like something else Spike does in his crypt when he's alone. The last vampire screams....but the damage is done and in a few moments there's piles of dust. Spike kicks his boot through the one nearest to him. "Hopefuly they'll listen" he says, picking the conversation right up. "Yeah, I may be a soulless vampire Oz but this bloody chip won't let me hurt humans. So I sort of am a pest control for vampires. Great" Spike pouts, looking worriedly over at Oz then Morrigan. "Neat trick with the water gun. Gotta remember that" Spike says to Morrigan then laughs. "Question is though?B?# Spike says, as he watches them, "What job do you do that you don't want to leave?" he asks Morrigan with a genuinely curious expression. Spike's definitely curious....that may or may not be a bad thing.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan doesn't have time to laugh at the back and forth between Werewolf and Vampire. She looks to the pile of dust that is the vampire she dusted with the holy water and she sticks her boot in it for a moment, just to check. "Huh. First time doing that." she muses quietly. Then she sticks the 'gun' back in her jacket pocket. She takes a breath and the eyes lose their glow. "Yeah, been carrying the squirt gun since my father tried to murder me. Strange almost had an aneurism over it." she laughs. "I'm the head of Pathology at Mount Sinai. My other doctorate is in Hematology. So it's hard to get another to replace me." she admits.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz nods, slipping the stake back into his back pocket and pulling his shirt over it, affectively hiding it. Don't want to look suspicious, after all. He gives Morrigan a surprised look. "What happened?" he asks, now a bit worried.

Spike has posed:
Spike looks over and listens looking worried. "Yeah I'm a vampire that kills vampires. It's saving the human race, Less vampires, less bloodsuckers around here" Spike says gesturing around with a grand gesture. The bottle? It was lost in the fight, there's a pool of Coke and shards of glass.....as Spike looks to Morrigan andd listens, hands by his sides as he looks worried. "Okay what happened?" he asks echoing Oz, Spike's worried though his face is neutral. "You learned how to use holy water by your dad killing you?" Spike asks, sounding very, very worried.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a look to the two of them and there's a bit of a breathe let out, "I'm only half vampire. I was born like this." she frowns. "Didn't know who my father was until he starting murdering folks and well...here we are." she shakes her head. "Anyways...I don't drink blood or anything." she tells them. "Just don't do well when the suns out, but I have something that lets me be out in it without falling over." she chuckles.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz nods. "I see," he says. "So, you didn't get any of the benefits, but you get a bit of a drawback. That's so uncool. That's like...the animal crackers all wondering where their pants are." He smirks, but he looks just a bit sympathetic as well.

Spike has posed:
Spike gives Oz a sharp look for saying 'uncool'....though he'd just as soon say it. Still he listens and looks with a quiet sympathetic look to Oz and Morrigan. "Sounds like your father's a nasty piece of work. goes round killing people and tried to kill his own daughter" Spike says, and his tone's serious as he looks to Morrigan and his eyes soften a bit. "You've had a shit life" he says. "But you're here. You're breathing. You're alive" he says. Apparently Spike can do emotions. Which are directed at Morrigan. "You're a pathologist? Oh I may have given you a bit of work then" Spike jokes to lighten the mood.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
"Yeah, no real benefits. Was having a time where blood was an overwhelming smell, but that's out." Mo tells them. "But the sun only bothers me if I'm outside for a while." she sighs. Then she looks around, "Who else looks for houses at night?" she laughs. Then there's a look to Spike, "My life could have been a lot worse. Just waiting to drive a stake through his heart at this point." she admits. "That is if Mister Castle doesn't get to him first." she muses. "But I'm grateful for the life that I've had." she adds. Then she looks to him curiously, "What did you do?" she asks.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz nods thoughtfully, closing his eyes. He doesn't speak, perhaps in thought or something. Not surprising for him, though, he's quite a deep thinker.

Spike has posed:
Spike nods. "Oh believe me,I'd like to help you on principle" he says...then pauses to think about what he just said. Spike. The Spike. Wanting to help a half vampire kill her fahter. Oh he's got ulterior motives, alright, but...pretty lady. And Spike's not got anyone. So...his ulterior motives aren't exactly benign. Still he looks to Oz then Morrigan. Spike's more amused he hasn't tried to kill either of them yet. Hell he got Willow, yes, Willow a book, that he, amazingly, bought, with actual, honest to God, money! Spike's going soft. Apparently. Still Spike takes up the conversation. "See, you're right though" he says to Morrigan. "You're smart, you're very very smart and you know how to handle a vampire. So" Spike nods respectfully. "I'm not about to pick a fight with ya"

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan gives a look to Oz when his eyes close and then to Spike, "Does he do that a lot?" she asks him quietly. She then gives a smile, "I'm sure that help would be great, but I'm not wanting to drag anyone else into it. Don't want anyone hurt." she states. "And the people helping currently are far more dangerous than I am to be quite honest. I carry a squirt gun filled with holy water, but that's not always going to be the thing that ends a fight." she admits. "So how long have you been a vampire? I feel like there's so many types that I try not to get them mixed up." she states.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
Oz turns to Morrigan, eyes still closed, nodding slightly, lips quirking into a smile. But he keeps his eyes closed, but obviously he still knows what the others are saying. He turns his face up to the sky, eyes still closed, taking deep, calming breaths.

Spike has posed:
Spike gestures to Oz. "Oh yeah. Went to school with him. He used to doze off in class. It's a mystery how he graduated" Spike says taking a verbal jab at Oz, "But he's been a good friend" Spike says...using 'friend' as loosely as possible....though he looks to Morrigan. "Listen, you need to learn to fight, okay? You need to learn how to defend yourself if worst comes to worst. You learn how to handle a stake or a crossbow or something that can kill a vampire in one shot" Spike advises. He after all kills vampires. And is good at it. And....has killed a pair of slayers. Too.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan looks up to the moon, was it full? She was hoping not. Then there's a look to Spike, "Huh, interesting." she states with a smile. "And yes, I do need to learn how to fight. I'm hoping my other training with magic will help in that as well." she admits. Then there's a look at the time, "I should get going got to check in at the hospital still tonight." she tells the two of them. "It was nice to meet you guys, stay safe out here." she states as she starts to walk away. Then she stops herself, digging into the pocket of her coat, "If you guys need to get ahold of me." she offers the cards to Spike. Since Oz has his eyes closed.

Daniel Osborn has posed:
"You gonna give me one too?" Oz asks, his hand held out, even though his eyes are still closed. "Moon's not full tonight, but I don't shift on the full mon anymore." He remains with his eyes closed, face upturned to the sky, hand out. It seems rather strange, but it's Oz. "By the way, Spike, I did repeat senior year."

Spike has posed:
Spike takes a card and nods, "Hey, listen if you need anything" Spike says and scribbles his number on paper and offers it to Morrigan, then motions for a second card. I"'ll give it to Oz" he nods. "You be safe too...and thanks for the help with the vamps, I apreciate it" Spike nods with a genuine smile. "Oz, you repeated senior year just to stay closer to us. You adore us" Spike grins and hops up on a wall.

Morrigan MacIntyre has posed:
Morrigan chuckles when Oz holds out his hand, she places the card in his hand and there's a smile to him. Then she gives one to Spike. "Yeah, I'll call." she tells him. "And I'm a helper. So I don't mind. Especially when they attacked first." she tells him. Then the woman runs a hand through her curly hair and gives a little wave, "Be glad you have people that adore you." she muses as she walks away.
