"See, love, it's a bloody two-player game." Spike gestures at the screen in frustration. "Can't have you lagging behind; the bloody screen won't move if our characters aren't walking together."
Illyria looks up from the controller in her hands. "The purpose of this exercise escapes me. You said that we would be training together."
"We are." Spike smiles insolently at her. "Well, actually, our characters are. It's called leveling-up. It's us training but through them."
"And the reason for this is?"
"Boss fight? Seriously, the gorilla-looking, many-clawed boss on this stage is a hell of a bugger to beat. That's why I need a second player, and unfortunately for both of us, you're it."
Illyria merely looks at him as though he's scum at her feet. "Very well," she concedes, after long seconds of silence. "Teach me how to control this... device again."
After a few minutes of painful tutoring, Spike and Illyria manages to get their characters to the boss arena.
"Ha! We'll see who'll be leering next, you sodding pixelated bitch." Spike turns to Illyria, and waves his controller in anticipation. "Ready, love? Remember, you only have to push the--"
But the primordial God-King isn't listening. She stands, and with a battle cry that has won her a thousand wars she launches her controller at the screen, leaving a gaping, smoking hole at the middle of it.
"What--" Spike's mouth drops open in surprise. "Hey! What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?"
Illyria smirks at him in return. "I've killed the tiny demon you're too weak to destroy on your own. That is how this ends."
Another long, long, long day at the office. It's days like this that make Lorne wish he didn't have his sleep removed - or not, because hey, who needs to sleep when he's midnight-snacking with Hughs Grant and Jackman? Never mind that their definition of midnight-snack is at 7:06 AM.
"Buuuuut Lorne," Harmony cries, pouting up at him as she slams her hands on her desk, "you promised me you'd take me with you!"
Her loud tones are usually endearing to the demon. Now they're just noise he can definitely live without. "Gee, Harmonica, I didn't think you'd mind not turning to dust since I'll be meeting them in the middle of a sunny beach after the sun rises. And no, don't ask me why they want to meet there. I only live to serve our wealthy, popular, soon-to-be-selling-their-souls-to-us clients after all."
Harmony taps her feather-tipped pen against her lip, apparently in deep thought. "Fine," she says. "But you have to promise you'll bring me along next time you're meeting hot actors, okay Lorney Tunes?"
"...what did you just call me?"
The vampire scrunches her nose at him in confusion. "Uh... Lorney Tunes?"
Lorne grins at her in a friendly, semi-homicidal kind of way. "Call me that again, Harmonikins--" He snatches the pen from her hands and casually snaps it in two, "--and I'll plunge these to your gums, comprenez-vous? Toodles."
1 | lmao fuck Spike's life but it's the risk you take putting an annoying, menial task before a god-king I guess.
2 | Oh, Lorne. I love your secret super-bitchy side~ And I wish you didn't play both Harmony and Lorne so they could get together. Obviously we have to enable Shana.
