Ch. 5 - The introduction of a very draconian Jack of Fables

[So, the experiment was over. Jack spent an entire day rolling in his gold thinking about it. It was pretty ridiculous. Him? A family man? Raising a kid? It's a wonder he even believed that bullshit. The great Jack Horner was too awesome and cool to be saddled by any woman and he never went around leaving bastard children around. Except that one time, but that was a fluke. He certainly didn't stick around for eighteen some years raising them, that's for sure.

Not that this was at the forefront of his concerns, as he stared gloomily in the river. The reflection of that crocodile grinned beast did little to improve his mood. It was what? Two days ago, he reckons. He was about the size of a walrus, but his lust for wealth was enough to drive him from consuming all the food he could. He managed to steal Sparrow's half of the loot and then turned his so-called brother in for the loot. The more he thought about that, the more convinced he was that not feeling remotely remorseful for it was the right way to go. After all, if he hadn't done it, Sparrow would have. That's how the game was played.

The hike up the mountain had been one that compelled him, almost as strong as the Shift that made him think he was a father. Like some sort of destiny or compulsion or something. He just HAD to find a cave. Somewhere to make sure his loot would be never found. But the moment he spilled the contents, there was more gold than he ever had suspected he collected. Maybe more than had even existed in that dream land. Was it the gold he stole from El Dorado, finally in Luceti? Well, if it was, that would be comforting at least. And he did feel a lot better when he rolled around in it, buried his face under the gold, and had a long dragon nap.

Eventually hunger had won out over greed, leading him to where is now. He'd tried his hand hunting in the forest, but nothing about a twenty ton dragon was subtle and when he tried to chase animals in the woods, he kept tripping over trees and generally being fairly useless. Eventually his eyes settled on the farmlands left over and he realized he had a feast all corralled in one convenient fence. Big, meaty cows. Even though one would last him for a day, he gobbled down three before he was satisfied. Because he hadn't quite got a handle on this flying business yet, he was taking the long way back to his cave, following the river upstream. But his reflection was really distraction.

Damn. How is he going to score with chicks looking like this?]

(tl;dr version - Jack the Dragon can be found prowling the woods and failing at hunting, up in the farmlands, or north of the village along the river. He's a fairly large dragon. Here's a pic for comparison. He can eat a cow in one mouthful, if that tells you anything. Also, tags will come from [livejournal.com profile] dragonjack until... whenever he's human again.)

[In a voice similar to his old one, though deeper and with extra rumble:] Argh! NO! Get back here you stupid deer!

[Cue Jack stomping by to catching it, getting wedged between two trees, and having to claw his way out from between them. Argh!]

[... oh, it's her. His uh, daughter. Not quite noticing Babe, he comes to a stop, even as he ends up looming over her. He's not quite sure how he feels about her. He does, for the most part, like her. Not in the usual way he likes the fairer sex. Protective a bit, maybe? Hm.]

Oh. It's you.

The pig? [He blinks, then starts looking around with unusually keen interest.]

Where is he? [He's practically salivating. That blue ox would only be a morsel, but dammit he's starving.]

[Sparrow happens to be in the woods on a journey from Cullen House to the village. He doesn't notice any dragons, though his mind isn't quite on such things at the moment. The voices in his head are buzzing quite loudly and that is where his attention lies at the moment.]

[identity profile] dragonjack.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jack, still frustrated by a lack of prey willing to stand by and get eaten, suddenly comes pouncing from the trees. A buck will come running in Sparrow's direction as it manages to evade the dragons' voracious appetite.]
all7seas: (bugger!)

DRAGON.

[Jack just stands still as the deer flashes past him. There's no use running, really.]

[identity profile] dragonjack.livejournal.com 2011-04-29 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Argh! Come on, not again!

[He stalks forward, at first not even noticing Sparrow. Although presently he becomes aware of him. Well. This is awkward.]

[Highly awkward.]

Hullo, dragon.

[Since Jack was in PRISON for the transformation? He has no idea this is Horner. Yet.]

What do you want, Sparrow? Want to gloat?

[dragon.

You're kinda hard to miss, Jack. Especially when she's just ventured out from her orchard to have a closer look at the farmland. At least she's not in amongst the cows when you land. 8|

No, she was just leaning against the fence and wryly imagining how long they'll get to live once Luffy comes back from his 'napping. Now, she thinks they might have a bigger problem. And you're a hefty reminder of something she'd forgotten up until a few days ago.

Letting go of the fence and backing away, now.]

[The cows take off running once he's inside the fence, most of them in her direction. Unfortunately, unlike the woodland animals, there's no trees to trip him up and there's a good sturdy fence keeping them in. Consequently, about twenty meters from Nami, Jack manages to snatch one up in one mouthful, chewing it up, and swallowing. Delicious. He sure could go for another one.]

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[IT'S OKAY, THIS IS TIMESKIPPED NAMI, NEW AND CONFIDENT AND BRAVE AND fuck that, she's making a small strangled sound and practically tripping over her own feet to get away from the humongous dragon. ...oh there you go, she did fall over.]

[identity profile] dragonjack.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Chomp, chomp, swallow. Wow, that tasted way better than he thought it would. He's looking for another one when he spots Nami. He knows her. She's that babe. So he gives her a classic, smug Jack look... as best as it can be translated on a dragon's face.]

Hey there. How you doing?

[identity profile] mikangirl.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[This voice. It is strangely familiar. And-- well, the dragon is speaking to begin with, which is always a good sign it's not some demonic summoned creature from the pits of hell. ...well, as far as she knows. Nami shifts to sit upright, leaning back on her hands and regarding him nervously.] ...hey. Do I know you?

Jack Horner. We had fruit together. The good kind. And we totally made out.

[Oh and he robbed you blind.]

Oh. Hello Dragon.

[Just keeps wandering. Okay, MAYBE a big long giant pause to take in the size. Wow. You're a very big dragon Jack. And the only dragon(s) Fujiko has seen before were only about half that.]

[identity profile] dragonjack.livejournal.com 2011-05-02 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh ho, he knows her. Not realizing how dumb this is, he outpaces her to get in front of her.]

Hey there Fujiko. You're looking sexy today. [From this height he can easily see straaaaaight down her cleavage.]

[personal profile] doubleppk 2011-05-02 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Ffft oh Jack. And now she is completely confused. Do any dragons know her by name? Although she almost expects them to hit on her, BUT NO NOT REALLY USUALLY.]

I dressed up extra nice for you today~ [Or just grabbed whatever was clean and convenient. Same thing.] Such a good thing I ran into you, hm~? [Whoever you are that is.]

[identity profile] dragonjack.livejournal.com 2011-05-04 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll say. You're looking pretty damn sexy. What brings you out here? [This isn't exactly in town, you know.]

You? [Aside from the fact that the forest can probably hold a dragon better and this is probably his home.]
