video/action: Bloodsport OTA

[bb_wolf]

Who: Bigby and anyone listening
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Bloodsport
When: Now

[Having been unconscious for two weeks, when Bigby woke up he had promptly decided to take a couple of days to sleep it off. It's only now, after a shower and some food that he bothers to take to the comm.

He's in the shuttle bay, where his massive bulk fits best.]

I was thinking about starting some kind of immortals evening. Get together. Bitch about how things have changed over the last couple of centuries. Commiserate with others who get the whole 'living for fucking ages' thing, if that's what floats your boat.

Just finding it weird, being surrounded by so many mortals. Fables keep themselves to themselves. No point making friends with mortals for us. Anyone interested?

So it wasn't a natural transformation the first time?

[bb_wolf]

I'm a Fable. What's 'natural'?

[He sighs softly.]

I can turn into a man because I was cut with a knife. A knife cursed with lycanthropy. Man to wolf. Wolf to man. Not quite the same, but good enough.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, so Fables don't normally transform.

[Having never met any other Fable. He has no clue what's normal or not.]

Was it weird being a person for the first time? I think it would be weird to suddenly be a wolf at least.

[bb_wolf]

So do.

Giant wolves don't.

[He could have shifted earlier, but his father's abilities have, for the most part, been carefully suppressed and ignored.]

It was incredibly weird. Learning to walk again was fucking difficult.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, you would have lost two extra points of stability. But you got to admit, thumbs, right? Pretty great?

[bb_wolf]

Thumbs are pretty good.

[He can admit that. Thumbs are awesome.]

Two points and my balance. Tail makes a huge difference.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, yeah! I didn't even think of the tail! That would change your balance completely!

[bb_wolf]

Yup.

Walking was really difficult. Running is actually easier, momentum helps keep balance.

Changing size was the other really difficult thing. Everything was so different from such a smaller height.

[Because Bigby is not really anything but average as a human.]

[goldenglasses]

What about stopping after running? [He knows it's kind of a rude question, but he can't stop the mental picture in his mind now.]

[bb_wolf]

It's a good thing I heal exceptionally fast.

[Bigby has no shame about it. He had to learn to operate an entirely new body.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, quick healing can definitely come in handy sometimes.

Well, I may not be very old compared to you and others, but if you have a meeting I'll be interested in an invite.

[bb_wolf]

I'll throw one your way. After all, it would be remiss of me to leave my date off the invite list.

[goldenglasses]

IT WASN'T A DATE!

[bb_wolf]

Sure sure, it was just two guys a posh restaurant with one buying the other a meal.

[Can wolves smile? Maybe not, but this one is definitely smirking.]

[goldenglasses]

That doesn't mean it was a date! More so when the one guy said before they went in that this wasn't a date. This was an acquaintance being nice and buying the other a meal so they could get to know each other on a friend only sort of way.

[bb_wolf]

I said, two guys in a posh restaurant with one buying the other a meal.

[goldenglasses]

But you keep calling it a date when it wasn't a date!

Besides, [Mutter. Mutter.] itwasn'tthatposh. [It was just the most posh place he could find at the time.]

[bb_wolf]

Actually, I said date once and you've kept using the word since.

[:3]

[goldenglasses]

Well- that- that's because I wanted to make sure you knew it was clearly not one! That's why! I wouldn't have even needed to say anything if you hadn't said it first!

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby snickers.]

Did I? My mistake.

[goldenglasses]

[You hear this? This is the sound of Vash hanging up.]
