It was a bright and beautiful day in the somewhat desolate town known as Fableland. Princess Anna of Arendelle, otherwise just known as Anna, was currently sitting in her lovely little shop in a small corner of the main street, waiting for new customers. Because she sold ribbons she hardly got any male customers however she remained cheerful and excited. She fumbled with her green summer dress. It was extremely hot that day. Even hotter than the summers she'd spend back home. She could use some ice right now. Maybe she should have just went into the ice business like Kristoff did. "Another day, another dollar." She chimed to herself.

Rafael finally let go of Coyote and slumped back on the couch. Peter came rushing in with the bag and Raf opened it to reveal a pretty extensive first aid kit. He got out some thin tweezers and heated then with his lighter to sterilize it. "Now would you be of some help and get this bullet out of my shoulder?" He held the red hot tweezers out to Coyote and grabbed a rag to bite on so he wouldn't make even more noise then they already had. Peter watched from across the room so not to get in the way. 

Benjamin nodded, and decided to just type in his phone as if he was sending a text message to communicate with Little Red and Anna. 'I can watch movies. I watch movies all the time when I'm home and my parents are out. I just have to have subtitles on.' he just shrugged. It wasn't really a big deal to him. He left his flip phone in his lap just in case he was going to communicate. It was better than wasting paper. 

 

Anna smiled. "Alrighty... how about we play a board game for a little bit and then watch a movie? I could make popcorn and snacks." she chuckled and went fishing around underneath the coffee table for the board games. "Mundy games are fun. Oh, I have this perfect game." she took out a box that had some plastic cards attached to headbands, and erasable markers. "Okay, we each take a card and write down an object, person, or anything on it without no one looking. We give it to the person to out left, and then put the cards on our heads without looking. Then we have to guess what is on our card by asking questions."Coyote turned back into a human and rubbed his neck. His neck always hurt when he turned into a coyote and back for some reason. It annoyed the hell out of him. Not as much as birds though. Coyote felt a nervousness in the pit of his stomach as he slowly took the tweezers. He felt terrible for what he was about to do, which was rare. "Yeah. Just don't cry or anything." he muttered, trying to sound tough. He stood up in front of Rafael, and slowly began to tug on the bullet in his shoulder. He frowned upon looking at his friend biting on the rag. "Sorry..." he suddenly pulled the bullet out, careful to not make the wound worse than it already was.

"Okay, sounds fun!" said Little Red. Anna put the box near them while she went and looked for some snacks. "Like a slumber party, huh?" she whispered.

Little Red and Ben took out what was in the box and got them ready. Anna then came with popcorn and some cookies.

The three of them then started to play. 

Anna smiled as she put her card on her head. It read 'robot' written by Ben. Anna hummed and began to ask some questions."Hmm... Am I a Fable?"Benjamin shook his head. He immediately began to nosh on the popcorn. He was pretty hungry, and he loved popcorn. It was one of his favorite food. Plus, he never got it stuck in his teeth. He was a pro at getting it out. He was much more of a salty lover than a sweet lover.Anna chuckled and took a bite at a cookie. "Ahh, then I guess I must suck at this game..."Benjamin looked over to Little Red. Anna had written 'snowman' down on the card, hoping it wasn't too predictable of her to write down snowman.

Xion scowled. "I wasn't informed of the mundie. I'll need to call Kayle." She slipped out a cell phone. "I'll make the call, then meet you at interrogation." She said, pressing speed-dial. The girl moved to the side and began to talk.

"Kayle."

"What."

"Dead mundie. Dead Alice."

"...this has gotten out of hand."

"No, really? Seriously Kayle, dead Alice was out of hand. Now we have a dead mundie, and I haven't even gotten to the best part! The mundie's son was nearly killed by Maleficent."

"...I am on my way."

"Alright. And if you break my car, I want a Lamborghini this time."

 

The cal done, Xion made her way to interrogation, sliding into the viewing room.

Little Red was trying to guess what her card said. She wasn't really good at this game, even her grandma was better than her.

"Hmm...what could Anna possibly write down." she thought. Little Red stated tapping her fingers on the table.

"Hmm...I'm I a....cat?" she said slowly. 

Benjamin shook his head. He wondered what Red wrote down on the card on his head.

Anna chuckled. "No. Little Red, you have to ask simple questions! Like 'am I human?' and the like. That way it'll be easier to figure out what you are."

"Okay then." she said. "I'm I a.........um..." She wondered what Anna would have written on the card.

"Wait." she thought. "I'm I made out of.....snow?" she asked nervously.

 

She was also hoping Ben wouldn't guess what Little Red wrote on the card. 

Which was "cupcake".

Anna nodded happily. "Yup! Made of snow." she figured Little Red would guess. She always wrote down something ice and snow related. "All right, your turn Ben."

Benjamin just shrugged and typed in his phone. 'Am I human?'

"Nope!" said Little Red. She had a playfully evil smile on her face. "He will never guess that it's "cupcake"! Muahahahaha!!!" she said to herself.

She began to eat popcorn, she liked popcorn, but not so much. But, she could totally tell Ben loved popcorn. 

"Try again, Ben."

Benjamin just shrugged. He felt somewhat alarmed at Little Red's evil smile. He thought for a moment, trying to think of the best question to ask. 'Am I an item?' he typed.

Anna nodded happily. "Yup! Hm... Am I a toy?"

Benjamin sighed. Robots qualifies as toys. He was terrible at this game. He gave a nod.

Bigby walked into the interrogation room with the case file and the autopsy report in hand in a folder. He was smoking a cigarette as he closed the door behind. He sat down at the table, opposite of Zuri. Taking a puff of it he held it between two fingers and placed the case file down on the table, close-by.

 

"I know this is a hard time for you Zuri, but I have some questions for you."

 

Bigby took another drag on his Huff n' Puff before asking, "First of all....do you know anyone who would WANT to hurt Alice?"

Zuri glanced up at Bigby with sadness in his eyes. Zuri glanced down at his hands and thought about it for a while. "I can't think of anyone. She was always so kind she never made any enemies,even with the mundis she was kind and wary making sure that if she did upset anyone she would quickly correct it."Zuri muttered. He tried to think of anyone,anyone that could've hurt the beloved Alice from Wonderland,the original Mundi that fell within the world of fairy tale. "However..."Zuri muttered as he looked at the table with a hurtful expression,as if he didn't want to believe what he was about to say or what he was thinking at the moment. "Last week she had a tea party,and she complained to me that night about getting into a fight with one of the friends. I was at work so I didn't attend the tea party,but she seemed so sad about it,it was unsettling. What was that friend's name..."Zuri muttered. He was an introvert person who if he wasn't at work he was doing something on his own,Alice being the only person who could bring this shy bunny out of his shell. "You're going to hate me for saying,but I'm telling you the truth about it..."Zuri muttered. He didn't know if it was because Bigby was much stronger than him,or just the relationship that wolves did tend to kill and eat rabbits that put Zuri unease,but there was something. "She said,it was Sake. They had gotten over a fight about some scissors Sake had brought over. You know how Sake is,her and her scissors."Zuri muttered.

 

Sake left the morgue and headed back home. She had a sour taste in her mouth after seeing Alice laying there dead. Last week they had a tea party...

 

"Alice you always make this tea so nicely."Blue muttered as he glanced down at the blue colored tea. "And to think you are able to make them of our favorite colors too." "Oh that's the easy part with the colorants and so on."Alice gleefully cheered as she poured some tea into Sake's cup. "Where's your hubby at by the way? He promised he'd come."Sake said. "Oh he's busy at work sadly. He got a client from the city next over about a painting or something. When he said he wanted to be a collectable dealer I never thought he'd be so busy,but he seems to love his job though."Alice smiled. "He seems like a natural regardless of how shy he can be around people."Blue chuckled. "Yeah,but that's Zuri for ya. Even after leaving wonderland he's still a nervous prick!"Sake laughed as she spun some scissors in her hands. But suddenly the scissors slipped out of her grip and landed on the table,the sharp blade stabbing the table just a few inches away from Alice's hand. "Oi Sake!"Blue quickly said. "Ah...sorry. Bad habits die hard."Sake said as she went to pick up the scissors when Alice got a hand of them first. "It's fine,I'll just take the scissors and give them back to you after tea."Alice said calmly. But there was nothing calm about Sake's attitude towards it. Sake was a strong minded and quick tempered individual who easily got irritated if certain things went in a certain way. "Alice,give me back those scissors."Sake simply said. "After the party,you could hurt yourself or someone else."Alice insisted. "No. Alice."Sake said,suddenly standing on her feet. "Give me back my f*cking scissors."Sake demanded. "Sake,sit down!"Blue asked as he also stood up.

...

"(I didn't even got to say I was sorry...)"

Zuri glanced up at Bigby with sadness in his eyes. Zuri glanced down at his hands and thought about it for a while. "I can't think of anyone.

Bigby was quiet, his eyes boring into Zuri's as he took a puff on the cig. He stamped out the cancer stick suddenly on the table, awfully close to Zuri's fingers.

 

He shook his head and sighed. "Zuri.......your wife was pregnant. She told you...right? And there's something else....we found...Sake's scissors inside her. But...like you said....Sake....she loves those things....wouldn't leave them behind now would she? And,"  Bigby scratched his beard, "Whoever put those in her....probably knew she was pregnant. And Alice.....she wouldn't have told anyone...but someone she was VERY close to now would she? ....Someone she was...intimate with." Bigby's eyed held a malicious twinkle in them, the big bad wolf about to devour the helpless rabbit.

Rafael squeezed his eyes shut grunting in pain. Once the bullet was out he dug around in his bag for some gauze and a wrap bandage. "Here put that on I can't do it with one hand." He said handing Coyote the supplies he needed. 

 

Peter winced, "Uh I'll get you some water!" He ran off to the kitchen to fill up a glass. He began to wonder why so many mundys were surrounding fabletown. Peter returned tot he main room of the apartment with a glass of water and waited until Coyote was finished to hand it to Raf.

Zuri stared at Bigby with wide eyes. It was as if the wolf had cornered its prey and was now playing with it right before taking a bite out of it. Internally,though he didn't show it,he was starting to hate Bigby. He was big,he was strong,he always seemed to be able to pull one up his sleeve. But there was no way that this plan,his plan,would fail. Not here. Not on the first step. He knew that in reality the wolf catches the rabbit and eats it. End of story. But they both weren't from the real world were they? "(We're both out of a fairy tale,and we all know in a fairy tale,the rabbit always escapes,and the wolf is drown with a belly full of rocks.)"Zuri thought. He started to sob,tears falling down his face as drops fell on the table. "I was trying to forget about that..."Zuri muttered as he held his head. "We had a Sonogram scheduled for next month,but that never came did it?!"Zuri asked as he sobbed and looked up at Bigby,hurt in his eyes. Years in wonderland had forced him to make his body learn to lie as well as with his tongue. "We didn't want to confirm with anyone until we had sonographs to show off. I understand where you're coming from,you're the police,and the husband is always the first suspect. But trust me...I'd never hurt Alice...she saved me from becoming mad...I would never hurt her..."Zuri whispered as he felt his body ache.

But trust me...I'd never hurt Alice...she saved me from becoming mad...I would never hurt her..."Zuri whispered as he felt his body ache.

 

Bigby leaned back in his chair and studied Zuri carefully, planning his next move carefully before acting on it.

 

"Why'd it take you an hour to call the police? And I'm going to have to ask you to let me compare your shoe size to some evidence we found at the crime scene...once we're finished of course." 

Zuri looked up. "An hour?! When I came home I found her lying in a pool of blood! I've been out all day! When I found her I dropped everything and tried CPR on her! I checked her pulse,I did CPR,I tried to bring breath back to her. After heaven knows how long I tried to bring her back,I realized I was useless so I called the police. But it was too late wasn't it? She was gone,pronounced dead on the scene?"Zuri asked,stammering as tears fell down his cheeks and a bit of snot went down his nose. He cleaned himself up. "Ah..."Zuri muttered as he looked up. "Shoe right?"Zuri muttered as he took off his shoes and settled them on the table. By this point his ears had popped out from the nervousness. The ears lay low responding to his emotions. "Here,sorry if there's a bit of blood of them...it's kind of unavoidable..."Zuri muttered as he lowered his head and held it. "Alice...my beloved..."Zuri muttered as he slammed his head down against the table,crying. "Please come back Alice...tell me you just happened to fall down the rabbit hole and that you're able to come back..."

Maleficent sat in her apartment, breathing heavily. Beside her was a broken bottle with a little liquid, which smoked, still in it. It had taken her a decade to make a concoction that recovered some of her magical power, but it was hardly pleasant. She managed to sit up straight and control her breathing. She wouldn't have done this if not for the dead body of the mundy woman. Where there was one body, more were attracted.

And she had to find the fairy new comers she was sure were moving in. She considered calling in the favor Bigby owed her for this, but she decided against it. She had plans for the Big Bad Wolf. And if her plan was to work, she need people like Wolf.

Finally feeling like she could walk without shaking, Maleficent got up and tidied up her apartment. She didn't need to leave evidence. She then left her apartment to continue her search for the new comers to town.

Xion frowned. This rabbit had all the answers, didn't he? Tried everything. An hour to call her could be considered okay if he got home prior to her death.

His vehicle...did anyone check his vehicle...

 

She would have to ask Bigby later. For now she observed, unsure of who was the perpetrator right now.

But Bigby had an idea. That much was clear.

 

Coyote put the bandages on rather sloppily with shaky hands. It wasn't his fault really; he just wasn't used to tending wounds. He was just usually the one to last wounds onto others rather than healing them. He tied the bandages too tight on one end, too lost onto another. "Dammit- THESE BANDAGES-!" he howled. When he was nervous use usually acted more coyote than human. "They hate me or something! God- Raff, these bandages hate you. Agh, ya'll bandages need to calm DOWN!" he began to mutter to himself much like the way Raff did earlier; it was something he picked up from the cat after years of working with him. He growled as he tried to undo a knot he just did. He was a hot mess almost. "GOD DA- I hate this. I hate you, bandages, you piece of utter scum dirt ass jerk wad." 

Peter smiled and set down the water to help Coyote. "Here." He gently wrapped the bandages around Rafael's shoulder without too much trouble. He stepped back to admire his handy work and nodded satisfied. 

 

"Thanks Peter." Raf said pulling off the rest of his jacket with his good arm. "Well now that you've completely expired your uselessness, are you alright?" He asked the enraged coyote before him. He couldn't help but be amused by his friend's behavior. Rafael didn't let himself get hurt much so he supposed Coyote wasn't used to dealing with anything like this. He stood up from the couch. "Sorry for waking ya Peter. You can go back to sleep now." Raf shuffled into the kitchen for something to drink. 

(This rp is like dead. ;( )

Coyote huffed. "WELL- YEAH. WHY WOULDN'T BE AWRIGHT AFTER I JUST WRAPPED A FREAKING BANDAGE THAT APPARENTLY HATES MY GUTS AROUND YOUR DUMBASS ARM AFTER YOU DECIDED TO TURN INTO A PUSSY CAT AND SCRATCH THE HELL OUT OF SOME RANDOM HUNTER." he growled as he followed the injured cat to the kitchen. "Yeah, Peter. Go back the hell to sleep while I deal with this stupid asshole. You scared the HELL out of me! You know what I don't need, huh RAFF? A freaking ULCER." he threw his arms in the air dramatically. "Yeah,  I said it, a freaking ulcer. You're going to give me one. You sit down before you make yourself worse. If those bandages get dirty from you trying to be all productive and work yourself when you're obviously hurt thinking you're that freaking mundy, Chuck Nores or whatever the hell his name is I'm going to kill you- God I need a drink." After Raff grabbed a drink, he went right in the fridge to grab a beer for himself. "Damn this entire freaking planet. The only thing WORSE than this is-" he narrowed his eyes at the thought. "Birds." It was a miracle how he was completely sober right now and acting this way. He even forgot Peter was right there. "And RAFF YOU BETTER NOT TELL PETER ABOUT SNAKES BECAUSE I WILL FLIP MY SHI- CRAP. I WILL LOOSE IT AND BURN THIS ENTIRE FREAKING TOWN TO THE GROUND." he was a lunatic when scared.

 

(The rp is not dead actually. It is slow because two of us are waiting on Zachy to post, yet he dcided to not do so despite being online today. Maybe go yell at him instead of giving up?)
