I don't much appreciate people talking about my friends.

Hn. [illegible scribbles]

Time to get out of here and find something to do.

[[OOC: Anyone want to meet up with somewhatannoyed!Sellz?]]

You mean there's actually things to do here?

I'd assume so, though I have yet to really find anything exciting. I was gonna go out and look, though.

Aww. All the complaints around here led me to believe this place was just hopping with excitement. Stuff exploding and all.

You mean the whining about the fights? Pft. It happens in bursts. People get hurt, bleed on the journals, and everyone has kittens.

I'm sure there's better stuff than momentary violence here in some of these rooms. Just a matter of finding it.

I hate cats.

All I found was a kitchen. Though I'm not complaining by any means.

They eat my flowers, though that's not exactly what I was talking about.

Kitchen's nice, but there's gotta be stuff up on those floors no one lives in. Or maybe around the grounds. This castle's stifling.

I've gotten lost about twelve and a half times in this place. If that doesn't keep you busy, nothing will.

How do you get lost half a time?

With a smile and a hell of a lot of talent.

...Heh!

I like you. You make me laugh.

I'm Asellus.

Yet another of my many talents.

Spike Spiegel.

It's a pleasure to meet you... er, 'meet' you, Mr. Spiegel.

Where did you end up, room-wise?

Er, just Spike. I'm not that old.

Lucky number 1015.

Well, then. Spike.

I'm in 518-- how's the view from up there?

Better.

Looks like it'd hurt to fall from a window up here.

I try.

Best to stay away from windows, then. Even from here, it'd probably suck to hit ground.

Hey, it might be exciting.

Tried it once. The only exciting part was the initial fall.

Then again, I never hit. I just woke up here.

You too, huh?

Mm. Funny, I thought I couldn't live without her.

Turns out I couldn't die, either.

... I know how that is.

...That'd make you the only one who does so far.

I'm sorry for your loss. And that you had to end up here, too. It's not so much of a paradise as it says.

Probably nicer than where I was going to end up, at any rate. Though it's kind of sad I won't be able to see my mortal enemy roasting.

I'm sure you could see it if you tri--

....Hm.

Do you have Scrying spells where you come from?

... no.

Mm.

....If you had the chance, would you want to see where you come from, as it is, without you?

I think... I'd have to pass.

...You're a better person than I. Make sure you keep that in mind, though.

This place has a way of perverting your wishes. I know.

If you ever want a drink or something, feel free to drop by, Spike. You seem like you'd be a good person to try to get to know. Level-headed.

I figure I went out in a blaze of glory, leaving all my loose ends where they needed to be. Lost the girl, got revenge. Nothing I really need to see.

Sounds good to me. Sanity seems to be lacking in this place.

If I could change anything, I would have tied up some of those ends, but I... wasn't exactly wholly aware, you know?

It is. I'm not saying I'm any more sane than others, but I have some semblance of clarity most of the time.

I didn't have very many options, but I was going to go out like a damned cowboy--the way it was supposed to be done.

Just as long as you don't rhyme.

...What's a cowboy?

I was never one for rhyming. More into the unrhymed poetry, myself.

Bounty hunter?

Bounty hunter, huh... I think I got it. Sorta.

Aren't too many of those where I'm from. Just men trying to get to the Victory Rune, nowadays. But I've read the old stories.

They're all over the place where I'm from.

Sounds special.

Don't worry, my dear. He did not hurt the feelings he seems sure I don't have. [drawn smiley face]

Shampoo find is many things do; is not all entertaining.
