[He scoffs, genuinely amused at the prospect of Liam "Angel" Angelus choosing to have a soul. Everything that made Spike and Dru as twisted as they are, all of it was Angelus toying with them, trying to coax out that cruelty with a hundred years worth of abuse.
All because he was so obsessed with his own self-hatred that he needed everyone around him to be as bad as he was.]
Oh, he didn't manage it. He had it forced on him, as a punishment. Romani curse.
The kicker is that he only keeps his soul if he stays miserable. Any moment of genuine happiness and it goes away. Means he can't get laid without going crazy, which makes it all real funny.
Eh, it's pretty deserved. He's got a whole complex about making himself as miserable as possible, this just facilitates that and adds the extra layer of involuntary celibacy.
[No sympathy for Angel. He's hot, though, in Spike's opinion, if that matters. Spike wants to kill him one day.]
It's the only case I know of, but from what I understand, it's probably possible in other ways. Look at this guy right here, for one. [Nudges his Daemon.] That's a portion of my severed soul.
I was significantly less happy as a human than I was as a vampire. Or at least... [He frowns.] I thought I was, anyway.
But out of the vampires I've met, it's a bit of a mixed bag. For a lot of us, it's living without restraints, guilt or shame. Zieks, for one, would go on a bloody rampage without a soul, massacaring anyone he ever tied himself up with. He'd be happier, though. But some people need the tether. I had my own tether, and it remains the same to this day. Love.
Yeah well, I'm the only soulless vampire in the world I know of who ever decided to even try being good, so I reckon it's probably doing a good enough job.
Shame and restraint's all that's holding that blighter back. Every little bit of disrespect that makes his jaw tense? Without a soul, that turns into violent homicidal rage. I've never seen anyone so pent up and ashamed to exist. It swells up inside you like a boiling pot of anger, envy, lust.
Losing a soul just takes out the lid and mixes in some oil. To really let it all burst.
[He shakes his head in amusement. Forbidden dark Zieks... He'd have more thoughts on this if this conversation weren't prior to his fight with Zieks.]
I think the only one he always gets along with is that Kim fellow. You can tell by the puppy dog eyes he gives him that he really wants the guy to respect him.
Methinks our Lord Voldemort's got himself a crush. [It's time to gossip about Zieks, apparently.]

[ He honestly feels bad for the guy. More Spike than Angel - not being aware of all his deeds. ]

You're right... They are our souls, aren't they?
[ He rubs his chin in thought. ]
Is a soul always a curse like that?

[ He... doesn't sound convinced, but who knows. ]
Love's a pretty good tether. If not the best.

You think he's that bad off? Maybe he's just afraid. Of what? I don't know.
no subject
[Sometimes you're just Victorian, sir.]
Also you've never made him angry. I have.
no subject
You're right, I haven't. I've only gotten on his nerves.

When'd you get on his nerves?

But trust me, I don't have any prejudices about that.
