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

[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.]

80s punk rock persuasion? [ look if he's stumbling upon a sore spot he's not sorry, it's just a p obvious look

also he might be a little derisive about it ]

Mate, 80s punk rock took my look. They wish they wore it half as well as me.

[ his mistake. not that the flare of anger results in anything but amusement; so much so that klaus looks down to not truly bother to hide his grin, actually. ] Excuse me my ignorance. So Angel's an old friend? [ the keyword being 'old' here. ]

[bigbad]

Oh, yeah. Emphasis on the old, deemphasis on the friend. More like acquaintances, really.

[That's a dirty lie, and Spike knows it.]

[poppycock]

[ somehow klaus has deduced it's also a dirty lie, though he hardly knows what they truly are

to each other, that is

clearly they're both vampires ]

For acquaintances you sure know how to get in his hair. [ his voice is thick with amusement. ]

God, no, with all that poncy hair gel he uses? I'd need a bloody crowbar.

[Spike, of course, has not looked in a mirror for a century and a half, so it's possible he doesn't realize what a hypocrite he's being. Or, more likely, he doesn't care.]
