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!))

Claridian. Great beasts with the ability to speak, who possess incredible powers. [Not one of those, then.] They're creatures that are greatly revered on my world.

Yeah, well I'm great, but I'm not usually so much the beastly type.

[vermified]

You're not? Were you changed by the Malnosso?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Hell if I know. Gonna pin that down to a 'probably' for now.

[vermified]

It wasn't during a kidnapping, then?

[Though it would probably be awkward to change someone into a dragon in the Malnosso prisons.]

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Never been kidnapped. At least, not here anyway. [There was that ONE time involving those twins where it got kind of kinky...]

[vermified]

That's very strange. Most people are left unaffected unless it's a kidnapping or an experiment. How long have you been this way?

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Not sure. What day is it?

[vermified]

It's... a Friday. The 20th, I believe. [Is it easy to lose track as a dragon?]

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Really? Okay, almost a month, then.

[vermified]

A month!? That's quite long for an effect caused by them... [Suddenly the idea of turning into a dragon is not so cool.]

[dragonjack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no duh.
