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.

[...Seriously. Karai is beginning to think coming to the grocery store is cursed in some way. Nothing like going through the dairy section and glancing up to see great claws rending their way through.

Er.

Yeah, staring is good.]

[dragonjack]

[Let's just finish off all the fish here. Then he looks up and... oh hey, it's his favorite ninja gal pal. He gives a toothy smirk.]

Hey there babe. How you doing?

[honorbeforeall]

[Everything she knows says dragons are to be treated with respect. Well. She's never met a dragon before.

...she's pretty sure they're not meant to call her babe.]

My name is Karai. [She only sounds faintly annoyed. One does not get pissy at something that's at least fifty times your size. (Even if said dragon sounds faintly familiar, which is ridiculous.)] I am no one's babe.

[dragonjack]

[That takes some of the wind out of his sails and he frowns a bit. He ends up chewing on some frozen food, still in the boxes. His digestive system can handle it. He does that while mulling over whether to say who he is or not. Ah hell, why not. She does kind of owe him, after all.]

Yeah, I knew that. Course I know that. Guess you don't recognize me with all these... scales and shit. Jack Horner. Miss me?

[dragonjack]

[Is his air space really being violated by that tiny excuse for a dragon? Jack is not amused. he glances over towards Hiccup and Toothless and sneers.]

Hey, watch where you're flying, runt!

[dragonjack]

[Isn't that Sparrow's whelp? At least.. he was in that experiment. Jack frowns, then starts going down for a landing.]

You, kid, with me! [He's got some loose ends to tie up here.]

[heroicarturia]

[H-Hey that's her food......

Okay no, but she will be watching him as he feeds from outside the store. Just in case something wrong might happen from within. Doesn't help that she has no idea that its Jack.]

[dragonjack]

[Nope, he's pretty much gonna take his time emptying the store of its wares. This shit is great.]

[heroicarturia]

[......Okay this furthers some investigation. She's pretty sure normal dragons don't eat the things he's likely swallowing down whole. And there might be people in there that he might accidentally eat up too.]

Dragon, please calm yourself.

[She calls out strongly to the dragon, not intimidated at all by his size.]

[dragonjack]

[... seriously, Saber. SERIOUSLY? He's just trying to eat the dairy section and now you're giving me lip.]

Okay, look, my table manners are a little bad now, but maybe you could cut me some slack here.

have a tasty placeholder

[vermified]

[Edward had been working on his projects in the smithy, but the noise couldn't conceal the crashing noise - or the shake - of the sudden damage to the building next door. So he hurries out to see what's going on, only to find... a dragon.

A dragon, really!?

Please excuse the delighted dragon fan gawking at you, Jack.]

tasty, eh

[dragonjack]

[... Yeah, Jack notices it after a bit, then frowns.]

Hey, punk. Take a picture, it'll last longer.

he's not edible, he'll taste like peppers and fire

[vermified]

[DEAR VEROS HE TALKS]

I--!! My apologies, great dragon, if I offended you! Are you a Claridian?

[dragonjack]

Clarawhatnows? [That totally went over his head. The great dragon comment is nice. Kind of. Still doesn't make him feel much better about being one.]

[slaying]

[ dammit why do buildings have this terrible habit of getting all broken around her.

buffy looks up at the hole in the roof. ] Oh. You.

[dragonjack]

Oh, sup wifey.

[Excuse him as he casually consumes what once was the entire meat aisle.]

[slaying]

...Don't call me that.

[dragonjack]

Right, sorry babe. I'm surprised I ain't seen you until now. Even Winry came to find me before you did.
