[ After finally having given in to actually using clothes around here, he's settled for a pair of jeans and a shirt that doesn't have any sleeves. (It's probably a woman's shirt. He doesn't know.)
After mingling with people and getting the food situation squared away... sort of... he's going to see what other things he can find. Mainly if there's any remnants of alcohol in the city. ]
Hmmm... Where to begin.
[ Scoping out the surroundings. ]

[Like a shadow on the wall, Spike goes unseen. Right up until he speaks up.]
Going somewhere, beefcake? You look as if you're searching for something.

[ Jumps a little when he hears the voice. ]
The name's Kotetsu. Not beefcake. [ Wave, waves hand. ] But I was going to look and see if this place had any alcohol left in it.

I'd be bloody concerned if your name was actually beefcake. Raised by cannibals. Or body builders.
Sounds like fun, though. There's sod all to drink at this hotel and if I have to spend another minute in this city sober, I'll stake myself.

Maybe even a chef.
I don't think I'd stake myself over it, but it would help with relaxing a bit.
[ having a drink here or there is nice to take the edge off ]

I think if you're a cannibal and you're not a chef there's not much point, is there?
Me and the devil brat found a bottle of wine. Here's hoping there's more, I suppose.

Splitting hairs on that one. But you can be some other kind of chef.
I could go for something a little more stiff than wine, but beggars can't be choosers, right? And I'm guessing that wine's already gone.

Nah, it's still around. Don't have any blood to mix it with. That's where you come in.
[He says that entirely casually.] But I agree, wine's for ponces anyway. Wonder if I could find anything to make cocktails with...

[ What has he gotten himself into?? ]
If we have to settle for wine, mind if I get a glass without my blood in it? Not really into the idea of drinking myself.
[ Phrasing, sir. Anyway, he's pointing to the side. Shall we as we talk? ]

Oh yeah, that's a great idea. Adds a bit of tanginess to the blood. [He does find it sort of remarkable how unbothered Kotetsu seems to be about this, largely.
He'll follow along, non-chalant.] But if it's all we've got we should probably make it last, just so you know. Here's hoping it's not. I imagine the pups have been squirrelling some of it away. Kids being kids and all that.

[ HE ACTUALLY IS ??????, but he's keeping it together because he promised to be a little treat to Spike.
Plus he's seen some weird things before. ]
Yeah, that's going to be a pass for me. [ Waves off the blood. ] Hopefully that's the case and not that they've been using it up.

[He's standing about, as he'd like to say, around the hallway, though he does stop at the parlour and the game room, and now he's just... playing cards with himself on the balcony.
Hi Kotetsu. He's got a half empty bottle of wine with him.]

[Gives him a glance and a nod.]
Alright, govna?

[ There's a shrug. ]
That was quite the stunt you pulled at the end.

Yeah, in retrospect it might not have been the brightest way to do it.
[He pauses.]
Still think it had to have turned out alright in the end, just not in the way I was expecting.

Searing agony, the humans to figure out that I'm utterly defenseless against them and to take advantage of that and kill me next week.
Except I'm not. Apparently.
Except I'm not. Apparently.
That's one hell of a way to test it.
[ He sighs as he rubs his neck. ]
I don't think that won you any points with anyone, but you don't really act like you care that much.

I'm used to helping people and getting spat on in return.
[He shrugs, his voice flat.]
[He shrugs, his voice flat.]
For what it's worth, I didn't think you did it.
I don't know. I wanted to believe you didn't. I know you're capable of it, but I know you've also got someone you're wanting to fight the higher powers over. I didn't think you'd risk throwing that away while you're still aiming for that.
Could've been my motive, you know. Blackmail or protection or just some kind of guarantee that she'd make it to motive. I've killed out of love before, both for family and a lover, I reckon you'd do the same for your girl.
[He raises an eyebrow.]
Am I right?
[He raises an eyebrow.]
Am I right?
[ His expression gets a little distant at that. ]
I'd do anything to protect her, but wouldn't I become someone that doesn't deserve he anymore? I feel like it's a choice of how much of your soul you'd give up. But then again, I've already had to take a life here to protect what's important, haven't I?
[ But he shakes his head. It's shitty. ]
