[ 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.

Mm. Yeah. Think back a little past that. It was really cold out. Lots of snow.

[ Bigby's voice isn't all too different when he is a wolf. it might be a little hard to remember that when you're about to piss yourself, but he's being optimistic and hopes Rhys wasn't at that state of mind back then. ]

[rhygret]

Snow?? There hasn't been any...

[ Waaait a second. There has been snow, just not on this planet. Or in reality technically speaking. The simulations are still fresh in Rhys's mind and he thinks back, trying to recall who he actually met besides Rosalind. He's fairly certain it was just her and a...

Well. A very large wolf.

Who sounded awfully familiar, come to think of it. ]

Uhh. When we met, were you...did the simulation happen to, to glitch out at all? Maybe show you as, say, I don't know. A giant wolf? Something like that?

[puffing]

[ ah. there goes the light bulb. Bigby has to resist the urge to crack a smirk. ]

Yeah. One hell of a glitch, am I right? God forbid something like that existing in real life.

[ this is a good way of subtly revealing his identity while keeping the Woof under wraps, right? right. ]

[ Bigby is incredibly lucky that Rhys's first introduction to the VR simulations upon arrival involved frequent appearance glitches. He didn't suffer any personally but he encountered more than a few who had their appearance altered. None of them turned into wolves mind you, but it's a lot easier to wrap his head around than an actual giant talking animal. ]

Y-yeah...hah. Man, you really had me going with that one. You know that those simulations feel unnecessarily real? Like, it's stupid.

[ STUPIDLY REAL, THAT'S HOW MUCH THE FEEL. ]

Sooo...I'm glad you didn't eat me? That's a weird thing to tell someone. Wow.

[puffing]

[ wow. this guy is believing him. what the hell. he supposes he can call that a win, at least. Rhys can be scared shitless later when Bigby inevitably transforms in front of him again. that's more fun! ]

You'd be surprised how fun it is to pretend to be an actual wolf or something. Guess the simulation took my last name literally.

[ hahahaha, everything he is saying is so funny. hahahahaha. ]

What, you thought I'd actually eat you? Who does that? Don't take it the wrong way, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy the taste of you.

[rhygret]

[ It's an easier compromise for someone who doesn't have magic or fairy tales for real in his world back home okay, let him have this. It's not embarrassing. ]

What? Oh...hah. "Wolf." Wow yeah, I didn't actually read that before. That's...yeah.

[ Did the Orbiters do that on purpose?? Who even knows. ]

I...let's just not talk about how I'd taste if I was eaten? That's. That's kind of weird to think about.
