[Ordinarily, stories about prison breaks and explosions would be right up Spike's alley. Today, however, he seems stressed out over something completely different. As if the upcoming holiday -- he hates all holidays, but this one in particular is the worst -- wasn't enough, he's been unemployed for way too long. Bills are going to start stacking up soon.]

Would it kill the castle to put out classified ads once a week?

[He tosses the open journal on the coffee table and sighs as he picks up his oversized mug. How is he going to raise money for a family at this rate? (Not that he's even dating anyone, but you know. It could happen.)]

There's got to be someone looking for a guy with virtually no experience in anything practical. [Hear that journal? He's talking to you. Great catch over here!] Maybe I could start selling jokes and see how that turns out. Or something in marketing. [Hm. There's an idea...] I could do that.

(Gwaine)

[Despite Spike's own personal crisis to deal with (that he's totally not procrastinating on right after he started), he hasn't seen him moping around the lobby like usual. Which means he's probably moping alone somewhere. And that fight with Julia sounded pretty bad from where they were all evesdropping in the next room. -- Thus, Spike will be a buddy and force him to do something he hates.]

Hey. Want to go out?

I just don't want you to eat my profits.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't eat all of them.

[huntersdaughter]

Just most of them, right?

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

... Depending on how hungry I am at the time.

[huntersdaughter]

Right.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, I was joking.

[huntersdaughter]

I don't know, Spike, I've seen you eat a lot of food.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

So what? Jet eats a lot of food.

[huntersdaughter]

Between the both of you I'm surprised I haven't gone out of business.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Hey, we're the best advertising you have. Everyone likes seeing satisfied customers.

[huntersdaughter]

I'll believe that when Jet starts to pay.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

I'm sure his big break will come along any day now.

[huntersdaughter]

Well, until then I'll just have to settle for hoping for you to not scare all my customers away.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Are you saying there's a reason nobody sits next to me at the bar?

[This is news to him!]

[huntersdaughter]

It's possible.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

I thought they might be intimidated by me. [Being around so much manliness can be that way.]

[huntersdaughter]

You just go ahead and keep believing that.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

... No, now you've ruined it.

[huntersdaughter]

Sorry, Spike.
