001 [video] introduction

[batmanschmatman]

So, I guess I should probably get around to introducing myself or something. I'm Dick, and I'm a new warden around here. Seems like an... interesting place so far.

... Sooooo, does anyone know when I'm actually supposed to get assigned an inmate to keep an eye on?

Yeah, yeah, I know. World's most unfortunate nickname.

[bigbad]

Ever consider going by "Richard?" Or, you know, any number of other nicknames?

video;

[batmanschmatman]

It's what my parents called me. I've kind of just stuck with it.

[bigbad]

They were bloody cruel, mate.

video;

[batmanschmatman]

If you say so.

[bigbad]

[...all right, it's only really funny to make fun of someone's name if they get riled up about it.]

I'm Spike.

[batmanschmatman]

Nice to meet you.

Spike a nickname too or...?

[bigbad]

It's not the name my mother gave me, but it's who I've been for the past century and then some.

[In other words, no, you don't get to know his birth name.]

[batmanschmatman]

Past century, huh?

video;

[bigbad]

I've aged very well.

video;

[batmanschmatman]

Apparently so.

[bigbad]

One of the perks to being a vampire.

... Is this the part where I start wondering where the nearest sharp stake is, or are you one of the vegetarian ones?

Re: video;

I'm a warden, if that tells you anything. I already did my redemption song and dance. And saved the bloody world, so really not the bad guy here.

...and don't stake the vampire inmates, either. Piles of dust can't graduate, and no one stays dead here anyway.

[batmanschmatman]

In that case, I'll try and keep my staking urges to a minimum.

video;

[bigbad]

Well, you're welcome to try. Not nearly enough things to fight on this boat.

video;

[batmanschmatman]

Well, since the focus is apparently more on rehab, that's really not all that shocking.

video;

[bigbad]

Maybe not, but it does get boring at times.

video;

[batmanschmatman]

Not a lot to do for fun around here?

video;

[bigbad]

There's a bar. Besides that... not my kind of fun, mostly.

video;

[batmanschmatman]

How long have you been here?

video;

[bigbad]

About three months. Why?

video;

[batmanschmatman]

Just curious.
