Lord of his Domain, All welcome

[Shadowcat9279]

Discord took a deep breath of the cool air as the great European Bearded Vulture flew over his territory. The day was a good one for flight and the nuetral mech was enjoying the up drafts that took him great distances over the forest below. He was aware of his cousins strife with each other but Discord really didn't care anymore. He had been through too much to really care at all about anything.

The scent of death reached his nostrals and he wheeled toward the carcass. He really wished he had more of a selection for alt modes on his ship or rather what was left of it. Being an eater of the dead was not a glamorous thing at all.. but it offered him flight which for an ex Decepticon seeker meant as much as life itself so he was all over it. He was not as fast as he used to be but now in days he just wanted to take it easy anyway. What better retirement then on this world? He still exercised his skills by tapping into bot the Predicon and Maximal frequencies and cracking them easily. Just in case. On never knew when a golden oppurtunity would come along.

[Mayhem]

A day away from the ship put her in good spirits. The ship had never been her favourite place. Having an entire world to escape too had its benefits. The holiday away from the crew, who she happened to mostly despise, had given her the chance to try out a few new inventions. The ice fog pellets needed some fine tuning. They had turned to hail instead of thick fog. However, the ice slide had nearly worked. It had broken less than one quarter or an aerial grid away from the lake’s surface. Fortunately, Maydae could swim.

Mostly dry at that point, the young bot lumbered through the forest looking for anything of interest. Going back to the ship so early did not appeal to her. Besides, there was only so much she could do with the ship’s resources. If she wanted to be creative, she would need to find new compounds to use in her experiments.

An overpowering scent compelled her to change direction. Since she had not beheld an organic death before, the scent was foreign to her. When she did catch a glimpse of the carcass, her curiousity (as always) got the better of her and she waddled closer. As a bear, the scent called to her. It tried to take over when she caught sight of the competition. She reared up but caught herself in tim to keep from roaring at him.

[Shadowcat9279]

Sweeping low Discord landed a few feet from the bear and sized her up. "Well well.. your a ways from your base." He did not come across as overly protective of this meal even as he hopped closer to a leg of the dead thing.

"Glad to see someone else cant stand to be around them for long." Discord kept a wary eye on her as he pecked a nice deep laceration in the hide to let the blood flow. This thing was a few hours old and smelled like it dropped from sickness.

[Mayhem]

Though she did not recognize his signature, she did not seem overly concerned with discovering if he was Maxie or Pred. Maydae did not particularly care about her shipmates and she had no interest in Maximals. All she wanted was to find a stick a poke at dead thing.

For all the curiousity she possessed, she should have been a cat. Instead she was a good for nothing huge white bear. Still, she was confident she could take the bird if she had too.

When he landed, she lowered herself into a sit and scanned him over. He didn’t seem concerned with her but living with Preds had trained her to be suspicious.

“You’re from the crew?” she asked warily.

She did not recognize him but then again she spent as much time as she could off ship.

[Shadowcat9279]

"Me? Live with that lot?? HA!" Discord laughed out. "Ive got more sense then that my dear. I've done my time in hell as the humans put it." His beak neatly snipped off a chunck and down his throat it went.

"Im my own mech. Serve no one but me." He clarified and bent to bite another chunk before looking at her again. "You.. gonna eat or what?"

[Mayhem]

The laugh made her jump back, which was an awkward feat considering she had started in a sitting position. Laughter usual meant impending doom where she was from. Maydae eyed him suspiciously. Yet despite his odd laughter, his claim to be his own bot intrigued her.

“How is that possible,” she asked, approaching slowly.

“And you eat flesh?”

Fascinated by the dead thing, she poked at it with her claws.

[Shadowcat9279]

"I eat dead things. This one died not long ago so its still a bit warm and gooey inside... try it." Discord took another bite. "As for my neutrality.... I decided I had enough of war after the Great War and well.. just went out on my own."

"My ship was connected to yours during a resupply... then we hit that vortex yadda yadda yadda... anyway... my ship broke off and Ive been out here in the wilds ever since." Again he took a bite and down the sliver of meat went down his gullet.

[Mayhem]

Maydae took another poke at the corpse, clearly unsure about the wisdom of swallowing organic material. Oddly enough, her bear nose did enjoy the scent. It only served to confuse her further. Having a beast mode continued to take some getting use to.

He had his own ship? Well that explained a few things. Yet as much as she hated most of the crew, she could not fathom complete separation. Mostly it was because she loved to invent and could not bear to be separated from her supplies.

“You were in the great war?” she asked skeptically as she nudged the carcass with her nose.

[Shadowcat9279]

"Oh yeah... I was a recon bot and spy." the leg was near stripped by now. "Its been a long track record to say the least."
He watched her nose the carcass and cocked his head to oneside. "You havent eaten flesh have you."

[Mayhem]

For something so small, he sure could eat. Maydae was definitely curious but afraid her internal workings would rust if she indulged in such animalistic behaviour.

“Spy for which side?”

Sides did not really matter for her but she could not help but be curious. There were few who spoke of the Great War with first hand knowledge.

“Er.. no,” she admitted and fidgeted uneasily.

[Shadowcat9279]

"Eat.. you took on a form of a flesh eater so your internals can handle it." Again he eat at the hip of the thing.

"I am a Decepticon." He preened proudly. "A ancestor to you Predicons and Maximals."

[Mayhem]

She wanted to trust him. He was a Decepticon after all. But putting organic matter into one’s system seemed beyond the scope of reality.

Not wanting to appear weak (appearing weak on a Pred crew was just asking for a beating) she clawed at the carcass. Her bear claws sliced through it easily. The act and result fascinated her. She pawed at it again then raised her red paw for her inspection. Having a white coat meant she easily stained but it was the first time she had turned red.

On a whim, she licked at her paw. It almost tasted metallic. Encouraged by that, she picked up the beast and bit down. The cracking of boned surprised her but she continued to sever the creature in half. Her muzzle and chest began to resemble her paw.

“Did Decepticons eat flesh too?” she asked through her rather large mouthful.

[Shadowcat9279]

"No. They were all metalic... large." he had stopped eating and seemed to be lost in memories. "Magnificent and powerful...."

Watching her eat made him smile though. It was like watching a sparkling with its first toy. "However, I found I had to change with the times. I was not going to rust with my fellows on Chaar. I made my own place in the universe."

[Mayhem]

It did not remind her of anything she had ever eaten before. Although it was interesting enough, nothing would ever top the candied pixons and glazed d-nuts at her favourite amusement park. Sadly, she suspected there would be no more amusement parks in her future. The damn planet would never let them go.

Large, magnificent, and powerful… She wished she could be a Decepticon. Aside from her new beast form, she was sick of being tiny, clumbsy, and weak.

Maydae spat out the overly large mouthful and tried tearing off a smaller piece. As sadistic as it might have been, she found herself enjoying ripping the carcass up and crushing the bones in her jaws. It made the funniest noises when she did that.

“Why aren’t there more like you around?” she mumbled through a mouthful. Etiquette had never been her specialty.

(ooc: I’m going to have to crash for now but I’ll post in the morning.)

[Shadowcat9279]

"Ive been asking myself that for vorns on end." Discord said and continued to eat without any worry about her table manners. "Your interesting yourself miss. By the by... Im Discord."


As much as he enjoyed the solitude it was nice to have someone to talk too. It had been so long since he left his past behind.... so long since... he had seen her... Discord was again lost in his memories and was just staring at a bone of the carcass.
