The most unwilling broadcast of cuteness

[bb_wolf]

Who: Bigby
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Now ish?

[For a while, he ponders the validity of just going hungry and thirsty rather than admit the trouble he seems to have wound up in.

When he went to sleep, sprawled across the floor in a hall in the Iskaulit, he hadn't paid much attention to the fact that there was a grating which shifted under him when he rolled.

When he wakes up, he's horribly, vividly aware of it, because he's stuck down the bottom of the vent and can't jump with enough force to push it open. Puppy legs just aren't strong enough to jump from smooth metal like that and whilst he considers just starving until whatever horror this is wears off, he quickly finds his soft little paw pads are getting irritated by the cold metal.

He tries to message Sascha directly with the communicator, conveniently down there with him. When then fails, he just shoves his nose against it until something turns on it blinks that light that means broadcasting.]

I need help. I'm... stuck. In a vent. On the Iskaulit.

[His voice is child soft and light.

And then he shivers, because the cold is coming up through his paws.]

((OOC: Bigby is glitching for a week or so. Bigby is glitching into an adorable pup.))

Addendum

[Bigby can be found mostly on the Iskaulit and Bloodsport, because while he'd love to hide away in his room, he can't actually get out of it on his own. So you can find the tiny pup wandering around on his own (possibly being stalked by a squealing not-vampire), terrorising the fox park like only a tiny pup can and sometimes falling asleep in random spots because he's just worn himself otu and abby bodies need sleep.]

[Ahsoka picks him up gently and then plops him on her head, in the valley between her two horns. It doesn't feel like a human head-- there's no skin or tissue. Instead it's hard and kind of textured, like bone, or, well... horns.]

There we go, that's better. You can rest up there. Just don't scratch. I need those to see.

[bb_wolf]

[He is far happier with this, little tail wagging madly and settling himself in so he has a good, solid position.]

I won't. No clawing or biting.

[resnipstance]

Then we're good! And don't worry, Togruta heads are built to carry horns that grow way larger than you are. I'll be fine.

Let's roll.

[OFF TO A SHUTTLE TO GET JERKY.]

[bb_wolf]

I wasn't worrying. I trust you to know your limits.

[Not like he would have any idea on them. he's lived with humans for centuries and he still struggles with their limits.]

[resnipstance]

[Huh. That's a new one. Ahsoka is used to people underestimating her because of her age. Somewhat surprised--]

Oh. Well-- good! Because I do.

[bb_wolf]

I figured.

[He drums little cold toe pads on her head and tucks his head down.]

[resnipstance]

[There are no blood vessels up there, so sadly Ahsoka's horns are as cold as the air around them, but she can do something about that. While she's preparing the shuttle for take off, she encourages a little pocket of air around him to get a little warmer in temperature. A little trick she learned from Anakin, who never dealt well with the cold.

Then they're taking off gently and professionally-- when it comes to piloting, Ahsoka doesn't need her augment to be a seasoned pro. This is her element-- her confidence shines. She knows exactly what she's doing.]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby settles in, relaxing after a while and then...

There's a soft breath. And another. He might have fallen asleep on her head.]

[resnipstance]

[Awww. Cute. Ahsoka smiles to herself, content, and cruises the ship smoothly the rest of the way.

When they dock gently some fifteen minutes late, she grins and murmurs--]

Hey sleepyhead. We're here.

[bb_wolf]

[He comes awake sharp and immediately and then yawns.]

Stupid pup body. They're always tired, hungry or something.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka chuckles, disembarking.]

Not to worry, we'll soon fix that.

[bb_wolf]

Thanks.

I... have we met before? I don't remember it...

[resnipstance]

No, I'm just friendly.

Oh right! I didn't get your name before, did I?

I'm Ahsoka. Ahsoka Tano.

[bb_wolf]

Bigby. Bigby Wolf.

Good to meetcha.

[resnipstance]

[Another chuckle.]

Bigby Wolf? Isn't that a little... on the nose?

[bb_wolf]

It used to be Big, Bad Wolf.

When I started living with the humans, I needed a human name. It became Bigby Wolf.

[resnipstance]

[She can't help it-- she snorts. If there's anything Bigby doesn't look right now, it's Big or Bad.]

[bb_wolf]

Yeah, well, normally I'm about the size of a bus and capable of tearing an elephant in half. This is not normal.

[resnipstance]

Oooh, scary.

[It's clear from her tone that she's not scared in the least.

But then they turn the corner and the kitchen suddenly appears.]

[bb_wolf]

[He doesn't argue. He'll come find her when he's back to himself.

He stands up on her head, much more interested in proceedings.]

[resnipstance]

This is where the magic happens!

And by magic, I mean where we keep all the dried meat, because I don't actually know how to cook, and technically don't really need to.

[bb_wolf]

I can cook. A little.

Not at the moment. Can't shapeshift.

[resnipstance]

You can shapeshift normally?

[bb_wolf]

Yeah.

Can turn into a human. Can't right now. But since I was an adult when I was cut with the knife, might be that I'm physically before that time, so that's why I can't...?

[resnipstance]

Wait, knife?

[Ahsoka opens one of the cupboard doors, to reveal... yep, you guessed it. Months and months worth of storage of dried and cured meats.]
