I'm an immortal fucking nightmare. I survived being cut open, filled with rocks and thrown in the river. I've been boiled alive, shot repeatedly with silver, hacked into with an axe, impaled on spears, swords, spikes and rocks.

[And that's just what the other Fables have tried at various times.]

I'm bigger, stronger and tougher now than I was then. I don't think the tobacco's a problem.

[pneumo]

Whoa...!! [ Bigby's just like him, he thinks. Which is really surprising, because he's never met anyone like him in any sort of regard before. It'll probably make Bigby happy to know that it makes Sascha all the more eager to be around him. ]

Did it hurt??

[bb_wolf]

Every time.

[He settles down in a chair, pulling out his cigarettes to play with. Human hands like to be occupied. Even his.]

I was only the size of a regular wolf when I was first boiled. Fucking pigs. Colin's the only one I'd trust. Dun and Posey... they're vicious. People forget pigs are fucking vicious animals when they want.

[pneumo]

I love pigs...they're super-meaty. [ And of course they're another animal that hates to be around him. He's never been boiled alive by them though. ]

Were the pigs like you? [ Able to talk and stuff, he means. ]

[bb_wolf]

They are.

[There's a hint of the wolf in Bigby's gaze at that comment, the predator that had decided to hunt everything until he could beat the winds.]

Mm. Fables? Yeah. Colin, Dun and Posey. Kept building houses. Colin, idiot that he is, built a house out of straw. Nothing else. Just straw. Not even bales.

[pneumo]

[ Sascha doesn't like or dislike that look, even if it holds his attention and makes him stand up from behind the island properly. ]

...Why just straw?? That'll get wet and fall over.

[bb_wolf]

No fucking idea. His brother at least went for sticks.

[He doesn't generally let himself remember what happened. He never forgets the events, but the prefers them at a distance from who he is now.]

Fucking Posey went for bricks and stones. Posey's clever.

If there's ever a fucking revolt, it'll be Posey at the strings.

[pneumo]

...Do you think he works with the gorgeous ladies who kidnapped us?

[bb_wolf]

... what gorgeous ladies?

And no. But what gorgeous ladies?

[pneumo]

The ones with Atroma! I have a picture of one♥ [ Thanks to Nami anyway. Which cost him 20 credits (which he doesn't have)...plus interest. ]

[bb_wolf]

There are no pictures of Atroma. Did someone tell you they had one?

[Is he going to have to yell at someone?]

[pneumo]

Yeah! Here. [ He'll fiddle around with his phone aaaand: tada! The picture Nami gave him. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby peers at it and has no idea who she is.]

Who told you this?

[pneumo]

A pretty orange-haired girl! She said this is Diamond.

[bb_wolf]

[Pretty, orange hair. Might be Nami. He'd chase her up, find out if she was taking advantage of Sascha's gullibility or if Sascha had been an idiot. Again.]

Hmph.

[He settled back into his seat, nose twitching the once. Still had some time left on the meat.]

[pneumo]

I hope they're all as pretty as her... [ It may be equal parts on both counts. Sascha is pretty gullible, and well...Nami does like money. So. ]

[bb_wolf]

Why?

Anyway, not that pretty, even for a human.

Fable humans, they're pretty. Like Beauty. Or Snow.

[pneumo]

But I've only met you... I don't know how a Fable lady would compare! [ besides, he is a huge fan of that beard. ]

[bb_wolf]

Well...

[He pauses. Snow is too close to home to describe. He settles on Beuaty.]

Look, I don't get human looks like a human would. But I can appreciate something looking nice. Beauty, she's, well, she is beautiful. She has blonde hair, real thick and long, she wears it loose, even when she ties it back, it's just with a ribbon. She has big blue eyes and sort of this soft, warm gold tone to her skin and peachy lips. She looks wholesome, but she's got a steel cable for a spine, because she won't take Beast's shit. Loves him more than anything, but she doesn't take crap from him, never has.

She smells sweet. Under the human things of blood and skin, she smells sweet, like peaches soaked in sugar.

[pneumo]

[ That's a lot of description for one person--in depth, too. Sascha can't help but wonder if he's maybe fond of her? Although he does mention her...boyfriend? Husband? So he makes a thoughtful sound. ]

She sounds gorgeous...

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby could describe each and every Fable in that sort of detail. The ones at the Farm... maybe less so, it had been a long time since he had seen tasted most of them.]

She is. Lot of the Fables are striking, for their species. Human, troll, cat, Reynard reckons he's the best looking fox anyone has ever seen.

At least Beauty never married Charming. Probably not for lack of trying on his behalf.

[pneumo]

--Prince Charming?? [ Even Sascha's heard that one, although he's more of a "character type" than the one Bigby means. ]

[bb_wolf]

That one.

Married Snow first, back when they were both young. Then he fucked her sister, she instigated divorce proceedings...

And he went and rescued Briar Rose and married her. Never heard what broke them up. I presume him putting it around to anything female that would stay still long enough. Then there was the ball, and Cinderella.

He didn't deserve any of them. All good, smart, lovely women and he fucked it up every time. Asshole.

[pneumo]

That's....a lot different than the stories they told back home. W-wow. [ Sex and men: 1# reason for being in trouble. ]

[bb_wolf]

Tell me the stories you heard.

[It helps, listening to stories. What is so often retellings of his reality.]
