Mini epiphany of the day.

[elisi]

Have been discussing 'what did Spike ask for - the chip out or his soul back?' in the AOQ 'Grave' thread, and the nay-sayers keep going on about the stupid dialogue and saying that there's no hint that Spike has asked for a soul (the fact that the thing was written to be as fuzzy as possible is lost on them). But... (from 'Villains'):

The Lurking demon says: "...and you have the audacity to crawl in here and demand restoration?"

The gypies re-souling spell is called 'The Ritual of Restoration.'

Now that is just... neat. :)

"sigh" The Spike haters are never, never going to believe that he wasn't tricked but this is a rather neat essay that lays out some excellent points for believing he knew exactly what he was asking for. And thank you ME for trying to be so tricky that to this day people don't believe his soul quest "morons".

Thanks for the link, but I fear this guy's brain is somehow malfunctioning - he seems unable to understand such fundamental things as character development, motivation and storytelling. *shakes head*
