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.]

I dunno. We really weren't that concerned with the etymology when it was trying to eat us.

[bigbad]

Sounds like you're way less fun to fight alongside than most of the people I know.

[He isn't going to say it. He really isn't. He has to bite his lip but... this isn't fair!]

Eh, where I'm from making a lot of noise is a good way to get eaten by zombies. Not that it stops most of my Runners from chatting.

[bigbad]

They can only eat you if you don't kill them fast enough.

[voiceinthedark]

Yeah, unfortunately, apart from a few select individuals, everyone at home is actually human and one human against even ten or so zoms with a baseball bat is not generally good odds.

[bigbad]

Wait, do the zombies have baseball bats or the humans?

[voiceinthedark]

Usually the humans.

[bigbad]

Oh, well. Could be worse, then.

[voiceinthedark]

Yeah... the zombies sometimes have rocket launchers. And machine guns.

Haven't seen those for a while, but I am not ruling it out again.

[bigbad]

What sort of zombies can operate sodding rocket launchers? And where the bugger would they get them?

[voiceinthedark]

Mind controlled ones.

It's complicated.
