video } regrets I've had a few but then again too few to mention

[bigbad]

[Canny viewers might recognize the room Spike's sitting in as the office of Angel's Investigation. Spike is, in fact, sitting on a desk, boots banging against the side as he smirks into the cameras.]

Hey, mates. Thought I ought to let you know that Angel's Investigation is under new management. [He jabs a thumb towards himself.] Sure, Angel's all right as a leader, but some people want a bit more brains and a bit less forehead, know what I mean?

[Has anyone agreed to this change in staff? No. Does anyone from Angel's team even know he's here, in Wonderland? Absolutely not. Is that going to stop Spike? Not for a second. It'll make Angel mad, and that's hilarious.]

So come on over for all your mystery solving needs. We take beer and smokes as payment. One thing's sure: with me in charge it'll be a lot more fun getting your mysteries solved. Cheers!

[He salutes and disconnects.]

Two hours is long enough to explore a bit. When I saw it I couldn't resist.

[duckies]

Who really runs the place? Wonderland is beautiful, but it takes longer than two hours to get used to it.

[bigbad]

Not my first hell dimension. Figure there's no use getting all worked up til I find something I can punch.

[duckies]

Other ones exist? How terrifying. There's only a Queen here, but I haven't seen her yet. I don't know if anyone has. She'd be the one to punch, maybe.

[bigbad]

Happy to, if I find her. Not sure I've ever punched royalty before.

[duckies]

I doubt she would appreciate it, but at least you would have done it. Whether or not you live to celebrate, however... I've heard she's quite mean.

[bigbad]

No worries there. I'm more'n a bit mean myself. And already dead.

[duckies]

Already dead? ( like the stressed elsens, maybe? ) Are you a spirit? Can spirits be punished for treason?

[bigbad]

I'm a vampire. And... probably, I reckon, but she'd have to work hard at it.

[duckies]

A vampire? Is that just what you call already dead people?

( so, okay, she comes from a world where vampires doesn't exist, but merchants who break the fourth wall do. it's a strange world. )

Good luck, if you find her. If you can? She's probably hiding. I don't think anyone has seen her since being here. I'll have to ask my friend.
