Voice testing a long loved character

[girlwiththemagics]

Okay, hey. This is new and... different. Kind of like a big party with people from everywhere. Neat!
Maybe this won't be so bad. I mean- It's not like you've got anything bad planned for me after all.

[There's a pause as all her enthusiasm fades into worry.]

Right? I mean okay if everyone can be here that means monsters and probably ones we've seen before, like the Master and Spike and ah... Everyone else.

But hey! Buffy! Buffy could be here! And Xander! Giles too! And I could meet new people and maybe someone to learn magic from and, ooh! I wonder what fictional character I'm gonna meet first! Do you think people still like Snoopy?

So not so bad... Right?

Oh, Red. It's got to be exhausting, being that positive.

[girlwiththemagics]

Spike...

[Shakes her head.] Not really. Are you bad Spike or...?

[idolstolemylook]

[Eyeroll.]

Hey! I'm always bad Spike. Look, a bloke can have a soul and a reputation, right?

[girlwiththemagics]

You have a soul? [Well how about that.] That's new. And good!

Ha. of course a guy can have both. What am I gonna do? Call the reputation police? [She falters a bit, aware she was doing her Willowness thing again.]

[idolstolemylook]

[Pause.]

Right. So. You're, uh, pre-sapphic, then?

[girlwiththemagics]

Pre-what? [Yes, this is before Tara. Fun fun.]

You know, Spike. i don't think that's much of your business, mister.

[idolstolemylook]

Oh yeah, good point, because that usually stops me, doesn't it?

[girlwiththemagics]

Not the point, because we are not going there.

[idolstolemylook]

Well you don't go all butch, if that helps.

[girlwiththemagics]

Good, cos I'm not all butch.

[idolstolemylook]

...

Isn't that what I said?

[girlwiththemagics]

No?
Maybe?

Look you're kinda throwing me with the not biting thing. No offense, Spike. It's new.

[idolstolemylook]

Would that make you more comfortable? Didn't know you were into that, Red.
