i love popping back here to do stuff

[cyberhunts]

lockdown scoffs. " what is there to be found in abandoned structures. " a statement, rather than a question. in a world of death and isolation — life is what he favours. life, contained. kept like pets inside a too-small cage, accessible to him and only him. perhaps. he considers whether he'd share such information with this individual. is protective over his lot. would he try and steal it from him? of course he would. thus, he feels obligated to maintain his secrecy... ignoring the discomfort it brings him. yearning to reveal and share.

          " i — " he pauses, narrowing his optics. " living things. beating hearts. gills and slime. " it all excites and fascinates him. perhaps because he is, in some ways, envious of the ability to feel so much. even if he thinks it to be a weakness. " i hunt. " it comes out cautiously. " i am a hunter. "

He's never thought of himself as being a person worth talking to. Time and time again, he gets proven wrong and finds himself snarled in conversation with seemingly no way out besides promptly excusing himself under the pretenses he has places to be.

This mech, however, needs a different approach. Blaze has a good read of people he meets and whatever he sees beyond those green optics hints at the underlying ferocity.

He will need to play this game methodically.

"I've seen pretty much everything." He gazes aside in recollection. "Strange planets, stranger people and sights defying all laws of physics."

"My niche is abandoned buildings and structures, I guess." He thinks about going into detail but decides to keep it vague. "I find a lot of trinkets there. Stuff that could have been someone's personal belongings once."

To shift attention from his stories, his optics lock back on Lockdown. "What about you?"

the villain — the bad guys. the mad scientists, the cruel executives, the evil witches and wizards, the corrupt politicians, the mortal aspects of pure evil, and, more often than not, the people ( or otherwise ) that instigate the conflict and the story. you are a very determined individual with a very strict set of rules. your mind is mostly thinking about how you can reach your goals and conquer your ambitions. you are often described as cunning and intelligent by the few who stick by your side. you like sticking to the shadows and observing, rather than interacting and taking action.

lockdown in casual conversation is my fav lockdown

[cyberhunts]

he can't fathom being so easy to please. having witnessed what the universe holds, what secrets it contains, what creatures lurk within it, this individual's nonchalance towards unbiased freedom has his guard rising. such freedom has changed lockdown. a rebirth of sorts, he is so unlike who he used to be. nothing about travelling the universe these days is simple. and nothing about it makes you simple. " i'm asking because i'd like to know. " optics narrow as he considers the other. " is that a crime? "

there's a smugness about him, like a cat with a mouse — he has no intention of letting this thread go. it's not often he encounters others he has no intention of hunting. others travelling, minding their business. indulge him. " what do you see? " in fact, it's so rare for others to have witnessed what he has, he finds himself enthusiastic to share findings. and to top them, most likely. " on your travels. "

Not everyday does Blaze expect having to reason with strangers about his ways of life. The less they know, they better; he prefers the secrecy.

Alas, life has other plans.

"It's something I've done my whole life." He shrugs. "I travel. I see things. I take photos of them. I move on. Nothing special."

He regards the other mech with a curious look.

"Why are you asking? I don't believe we know each other."

i would love to develop some common ground, chill, frenemy type dynamics.

[cyberhunts]

i also have a saying — i don't care.

i'm thinking lockdown was one of the scariest decepticons to begin with, he didn't need to earn a reputation he was already widely feared as a hitman pre-war.

[cyberhunts]

@photobombingcryptid asked: " i'm a simple man making his way through the galaxy. "

a snort, a puff of air, lockdown sneers at the other. a simple man — there is no such thing. even he is far from simple. a complex enigma, he prides himself on his mystery. and there's always something ticking in that processor of his... no. he doesn't believe this individual for one moment. " is that so? " a tilt of helm, optics brighten. then, he shakes his head.

          " i don't believe you. " digits twitch. " a mech does not travel without desire. and desire is fuelled by promise. you're seeking something, " he surmises, interest piqued, he's always intrigued by what's out there. " tell me what it is. "

[cyberhunts]

stares

[cyberhunts]

optics whirl, interest piqued, as the other turns his back on him. despite the other's guard being down, lockdown's doesn't shift. he's cautious of the tendrils and what they're capable of. prepared for an attack, or at the very least an attempt. lockdown lets out a gruff hum at his trophy's use of words. " i never was like the rest. " a wholehearted statement, despite keeping the company of cybertronians in his past — he considers himself vastly different to them. in pride, in wrath. how could they be like him, after all? he is a harbinger, an ultimatum... the end of the road. one could draw comparisons between himself and the grim reaper in human folklore. he was always destined to be above.

          " a good hunt is naive. satisfaction is a fool's game. i seek totality. i hunger for it. " a baring of teeth as tendril knocks near his servo. they never understand him. " i don't care what others see. " truth be told, he really only ever cared what one cybertronian saw in him. a huff. " compassion is a poison, of which you are tainted by. in a kill or be killed world, you think too much of others. perhaps that is why you are in there, and i am here. "

At first he's tempted to rise up to his full height, splay out his tendrils and claws, snarl at him and taunt him as he was taunted. But that would just prove Lockdowns point, wouldn't it? Two lonely beasts, snapping at snarling at eachother in a self built cage.

Instead he turns his back to Lockdown, sinking down to all fours as he goes to the other side of his relatively small cage. He sits, tendrils twisting and curling over each other, the subsequent 'tail' curling lazily around the cage. Arms rested on his legs and helm tilted back as he vented.

"I want a fragging cig..." He mumbled, taking off the cracked visor to rub his face. "I'm more Cybertronian than you are these days. Which says something about you, hmm? You hunt and you take trophies for what? What happened to the work? To the satisfaction of a good hunt and a good reward?" One tendril, a pincher, separated to smack against a bar close to the others servo, golden optics ringed in bright violet staring coldly up at him.

"It must be difficult, looking in a mirror Lockdown, and seeing what you really are in the optics of others."

im so affectionate for the fact that lockdown wears his scars with such pride and makes no effort to hide them or remove them.
