astraed:

          there  is  the  fluttering  of  dark  lashes  at  the  pointed  question,  this  stranger  obviously  seeking  answers  for  reasons  less  than  fortunate.  a  man  whose  own  existence  was  one  sprouted  in  the  underbelly  of  cities,  wandering  from  place  to  place,  one’s  bounty  and  returning  such  were  not  uncommon  practices.  yet,  a  specified  hunter  for  said  favors,  that  drew  not  just  his  curiosity  but  ire  as  well.  hand  remains  clenched  at  his  side,  suspicions  drawing  towards  the  sky.  

               ❛   i…  do  not  understand.  whom  is  it  you  are  searching  for?   ❜

        OH, HE KNOWS A DEFENSIVE STANCE WHEN HE SEES ONE. That doesn’t stop him, though. Eyes narrow with the furrow of his brow, scrutinizing every part of this man’s expression. Spike’s learned how to read people from a very young age, but he can’t really work out anything from this guy outside of suspicion and hints of curiosity. Drawing back to his full height he heaves a sigh.

        “The leader of some freaky cult,” he responds. He knows Jet told him the name of the guy, but he’s having trouble remembering it. “Uhh--Val... something. Whatever. Anyway. Rumors of people being kidnapped and brainwashed. You haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary, I’m guessing.”

        Well, ordinary for some Martian city, at least.

I loved her not for the way she danced with my angels, but for the way the sound of her name could silence my demons.

Are you lonely, Spike? Do you want a hug?

        “DON’T touch me. Do not. Don’t do it.”

Has ein licked you recently?

        “No. Don’t jinx it.”

❛ oh hell no ! hell fucking NO, dude ! that’s MY guy ! ❜ with the intention of being irritating, he stands between the man & the wanted criminal. he pulls the man into a headlock & keeps him close; the other occupied with a blaster aimed directly at the rival bounty hunter. ❛ i picked him first !! i have no definite proof of that, but it’s my story & i’m sticking to it ! you know how long i’ve been tracking this guy ?! ❜

@tigerstrype liked.

        “You think I look like I care?”

        STILL, HE CAN’T REALLY ARGUE WITH THE FACT THIS GUY GOT TO THE bounty head first, so by all means he should be the one to turn him in and collect the reward. It’s not the first time he’s had a gun in his face, and if he got shot it wouldn’t be the first time for that either. Gaze moves from the firearm, to the other bounty hunter’s face, to the face of the bounty head struggling in the headlock, back to the other bounty hunter’s.

        “Fine, he’s yours.” It’s not really admitting defeat, but regardless, Spike doesn’t like it. “At least, if you can hold onto him long enough before the cops get here.”

“ hm. “ 

comes the gruff note of annoyance as the bar exposes no clear sign of the man he has sought to slay, the man he dreams of gutting with every cover of glorious nightfall. his belts clang together as he paces towards the bar and pulls up a stool before the counter, the smoke filled room yet to sway him from his search. the place reeks of swear and booze, of smoke and blood. or is that him? he hasn’t washed in days, maybe stretching to a whole week and a half. the leather on his back hums of metallic intensity for all the blood its dyed in. 

“ beer. “ he tosses the change upon the counter and the barman eyes him with a warning glare, silently assuring him that should estinien try ought but quietly drink, he’d be in for a nasty end. but he’s not there to tussle with the locals, nor the stopping travellers or the bounty hunters which hang up their coats for a break from the road. he’s after one man, one specific gang leader whose head is worth his own life, if needs be. 

his elbow knocks the drink beside him, a glass tumbling and his quick reflexes are quick to seize the beverage before its contents spill entirely. so fast was that movement, it might have been a blur. he pushes the drink back towards its owner, eyes sharp yet not swollen with soft emotion or even readable thought. “ mind your cup, lest you wish to lap it from the carpet instead. “ he bites hard like a wild wolf, words like daggers and viciously sleek. the fault lies upon him surely however he savours no moment of weakness, for he could be watching, waiting for a moment of peace within which to finally strike and seize its final prey.

        THE ONLY REASON SOMEONE WOULD BE AT A BOTTOM OF THE BARREL ESTABLISHMENT like this is if they were hunting someone, or if they were the one being hunted. Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference between the two. Not like it matters to him, because he’s just here for a drink since it’s cheap and no one bothers him. Most know to mind their own damn business in places like this, because almost everyone that stops by is going to have some kind of weapon on them.

        Even the barkeep, who Spike knows keeps a rifle beneath the bar in case things get too far out of hand.

        He’s in the middle of lighting another cigarette when whatever asshole that had sat beside him knocks his drink from the bar. Spike is fast when he snaps the Zippo closed, making to catch the glass all in the matter of a split second -- but the stranger is faster, and Spike’s glass is pushed back towards him with only half the amount of whiskey that had been in there prior. There’s no hiding his annoyance as he plucks the cigarette from his lips and picks up the glass.

        “Big talk for a guy that was two seconds away from paying for my drink.”

        The rest is knocked back easily. He flicks the smoldering end of his cigarette into the ashtray, then brings it back to his lips. The barkeep makes to refill his glass, but Spike waves his hand dismissively.

        “You greet everyone like that, or am I just special?” His tone is wry. The barkeep slides a cup of black coffee his way while Spike squashes out the cigarette on the bar then tosses it into the ashtray. “Bound to get your ass beat that way.”
