[ first off: don't ask questions about the username. Bigby assumes it's subtle enough considering no one here knows him as the Big Bad Wolf, but he doesn't really... realize... the implications of the abbreviation he chose. oh well.

there's more pressing matters to attend to. ]

Not even here a goddamn month and shit goes to hell. Because of course. So much for peace.

[ on camera is a man who doesn't seem very pleased with the current chaos of the recent bombing. a moment is given to take a drag of his cigarette between words, blowing a puff of smoke straight towards whoever is watching. ]

I need information on the fugitives. Don't care if you're best friends or you've crossed paths with them once. Backgrounds, real names, affiliations, common hangouts. Also addresses on where they live. Give me a scent to work with and they'll be found.

[ another inhale of nicotine before he smothers the embers on a nearby surface. he's still as displeased as five seconds ago. ]

Also don't really care if they're in deep with this Shady Fucker or just a matter of "wrong place, wrong time". They have questions to answer one way or another. Got a problem with that? Take a wild guess on how I feel.

He has been good to me. That is all that I need to know.

[She's acutely aware that admitting that she's only known Rocket a very short time would not go over well at all. So she prevaricates, just like Rocket would do. She's learning.] I knew him before the Storm took my home.

No. All we know is that someone has blamed him and others for it. I will not let them be blamed for something that I know they would not have done. There is a reward involved. I do not believe that anyone looking for them has their best interests at heart.

If you say so, lady. Just know that tight lips helps no one but yourself. This includes your friends.

[ Bigby knows there's more to this than she is letting off, but he doesn't push the subject. he is learning to control his aggression to a certain extent, okay. as much as he doesn't care about first impressions, someone once told him he could attract more flies with honey than vinegar. ]

You're right. People are financially motivated. I'm not one of them, though. Believe what you want. Not really interested or focused on making you choose, because my time is better spent elsewhere.

My name is Mantis. [If she's going to live a free life, she's going to live one in which she is called by name. 'Hey, you' and all of its variants do not work.]

I have no way of knowing if you speak truth. I know my friends do. [Good enough for her.] You can go hunting if you'd like. If you hurt them, then I will find you.

If you say so, Mantis.

[ he corrects himself. it probably sounds like he's sassing off, but he's actually trying to be respectful to a degree. ]

Yeah, yeah, I get it. That's just a polite way of saying snitches get stitches. The whole "friend code" thing, I mean.

[ what are friends. regardless, even if Bigby can't read through the lines and decipher if she's hiding information from him or not through the network, he believes her. that probably doesn't mean much, but alas. ]

Relax. As much as I enjoy people threatening to find me, I'm not looking to hurt anyone. ―Yet. ―Much.
