Ch. 6 - Scales and wings are such a drag for Jack of Fables

[originaljackass]

[Jack is getting restless now. It's been nearly a month since he was turned into this big hulking beast and frankly? It's getting pretty damn old. Each day he has to roll in his gold a little longer to make himself feel better and he's less and less inclined to leave his gold behind. That damn pirate is going to try and find it, he just knows it. Still, hunger is hunger and he's getting sick of deer, bears, cows, and sheep. The farm animals are the easiest to get, but he's noticed he's been... thinning the herd a bit. He can't live off them forever. As for hunting? It's a pain in the ass.

Well, if he's going to be stuck like this, like hell he's going to just hide. So retreating from his cave, he'll be flying towards town. He'll stop just behind the grocery store and land there. Seeing as he's too big to get in... he'll just bust a hole in the roof and start grabbing stuff that way. Good thing these buildings auto-repair and the food restocks itself, because he won't be leaving much of a store behind by the time he's done.]

((ooc: Feel free to catch him at the store or prowling around the mountains. But not so much his secret treasure horde... not yet!))

Yeah, thanks. But for the record, don't look for me on the journals. [He holds a clawed hand in front of him, which is... about Saber's size, actually.]

Those pages are a bitch to turn.

[Well to be fair Saber is pretty short, but yeah Jack is definitely one of the larger dragons she's encountered.]

Where are you currently taking shelter in?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Sorry, babe. That's on a need to know basis and you don't need to know.

[Helpful or not, that's his TREASURE TROVE and while having some ladies in bikinis distributed amongst his wealth would be appealing, he doesn't trust them not to slip away with some of it.]

Then how am I to report to you what I learn if I do not know where you are? [She sighs.] Can you at least give me a place where we can meet at some point, whenever I do find something worth interest.

[Meh... a place to meet, huh?]

I head to the farmlands at noonish to find lunch. Look for me there. Believe it or not, I ain't hard to spot.

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

Good. When I figure out more on this I'll be sure to try and catch you there. I cannot make any promises, but I always do my best to help an ally.

[Ally, huh? Score. He gives a toothy smirk.]

Just a chance at getting back to my old self is better than nothing.
