Oh, it looks like someone needs to upgrade to DVDs!

That's a video tape...it'll play a movie if you put it into a VCR with a TV hooked up. Probably some shows someone taped off of TV or somebody's home movies....

You know, "Little Jimmy's First Birthday Party" and "Bobby gets a new puppy" sort of things.

*Spike tilts his head and listens*

People make films of crap like that? And they expect people to want to watch them?

They do.

They'll invite you over for a party or dinner, and then make you sit through their inane home movies.

*pause*

At least hot volcanic ash raining down from the sky provides a swift death...

*Spike eyes the tape, then Fritz, then the tape again.*

Flipping hell. And they say we're sadistic?

The really evil ones bring them over to your home to play on your own TV.

I know, the mere idea makes us seem like--I don't know what--something downright cuddly.

*muses on this, stroking his chin between thumb and forefinger, eying the tape*

Heh, probably someone filming themselves doing something they shouldn't. *Blushes remembering tapes she has of a shapeshifter stripper*

Not that I would know anything about that.

*looks at the little black box and rattles it*

Oh! This thing's a film then? I thought they were all on those flat discs. Or on those laptops that you lot are always peering at like gormless idiots for hours on end.

...Filming themselves doing what sort a' things they shouldn't?

Things left best for private viewing.

*She blushes a little and whispers* Probably a tape of two lovers making babies

*Spike eyes the thing, with a little half smirk, and cocks a brow*

Really? People film themselves shagging? Nice! ...And they've left it lying around where just anybody could see- reckon the responsible thing to do would be to put a notice up.

You know, saying it's been found and where it can be dropped off and for how much money to keep it quiet 'n all.

Probably. Then again you won't know what's on it until you watch it.

Hmm. You've a point there. But I've just heard on good authority that people also film themselves on holiday and havin' their two-year-old's birthday party and their anniversary dinners and so on. This could be an exercise in mundanity.

Something to be avoided at all costs. Drop it.

*arches a brow, giving the little item a curious look- of course now that's just made him _interested_*

Why? What's it do?

We're in the twenty first century, you fucking tit.

The people I know in the twenty-first centuries and up don't sodding _use_ these. I'd have seen one by now.

Nobody uses vinyl but people still know what it fucking is.

Humans are fucking thick.

Well yeh, they are but what's that got to do with anything?

...*sighs* I was calling you thick, numpty.

*glares, blue eyes blazing*

I'm not a sodding human, you twat!

*Spike blinks, and gives the tape a wary look*

...But Az... erm... 'm already dead. What's it going to do?

Huh. You know -- that's a good point. *frowns* I guess nothing? Maybe you should watch it, then.

*Spike eyes the tape dubiously and pushes it over toward Azreal*

You first.

*he gives Spike a look* Pussy. We'll watch it together.
