Touching grass

I let my mechs play in the garden today and Starscream seemed curious about Octane. Starscream usually stays away from the others, so it was really good to see them socializing for once! Unfortunately, Octane was a little nervous and tried to hide from them. I don't blame him, considering what happened between those two.

Considering all that, it went surprisingly well! Neither of them got aggressive and they just kinda stared at each other for a while before Starscream moved on.

A step in the right direction, hopefully.

Peace offering

Good news! Starscream is back from the vet! They've already given me about 12 different scratches and burns, but oh well ;-; What did I expect? Its not my first time dealing with aggressive mechs. I'm just glad they're healthy and back with their kit.

Today, Skyfire tried to introduce himself! He's usually pretty shy, so I was really proud of him for stepping up to make the Starscreams feel at home. He was definitely nervous, and I don't think Starscream really knew what to think of him, but I'd say it went well! No blood was shed!

As for the other two, Blitzwing and Octane are staying with my roommate right now, just until the Starscreams settle in a bit. Considering their history, I want to take this slow. I know that if I introduce them too soon, it could be another trip to the vet.

I found a stray!

I managed to get a picture of the stray I mentioned before! He was hiding in a pipe, poor little guy. @l00n3y-lynn Do you have any clue what his breed is? I tried researching for white cybertronians, but there's just so many different types, it's so overwhelming... Whatever he is, he's really cute! And he has such pretty eyes :0!

Progress (???)

I saw the feral Starscream again (thankfully without my mechs this time). I usually keep a spare energon cube in my pocket, so I thought I'd try feeding it. It went... okay... I think. I don't think it likes me or trusts me, but it took the energon anyways. It must be really hungry. Poor thing :[

On another note, I've been asking around campus if anybody knows anything about it, and apparently there are more mechs here than I thought there were. There's a gang of them. A pack? A flock? Idk. But I've been told that there are TWO Starscreams in the group, not just one. I haven't seen the other one yet, and I really don't know how to feel about this. It feels like my trouble has just doubled, and we're not even talking about the OTHERS yet! ;0;

Troublemakers.

Guess who I caught trying to raid the drawer for snacks... I don't know which one of them had this idea, but somehow my triplechangers decided to team up with my roommate's new Hot Rod to steal energon treats. Little Octane had me fooled into thinking he was innocent all this time. Now I know the truth! It seems I have another gremlin on my hands! I'm happy they're getting along (which is a surprise considering the Autobot-Decepticon thing), but I can already tell that this alliance is gonna be quite the handful if it lasts. For my roommate's sake, I PRAY that Blitzwing's bad habits don't rub off on Roddy ;0; !

Things are finally going in the right direction!

For a long time, Jetfire wasn't responding to his name. I was confused, because this breed is supposed to be pretty clever, but I finally realized what the problem was!! I've been calling him by the wrong name this whole time! I finally decided to try something different and it WORKED! So, everybody... meet SKYFIRE! :D

I called him over and he actually answered! It was so sweet! He sat on my lap for a while and we watched documentaries. He absolutely loved the one about seals. ^^

I'm so glad to finally get things right with him!

Why are you like this?

Blitzwing was VERY angry with me because I stopped him from eating beetles.

I feed him. He has absolutely no reason to eat beetles. I don't even think Cybertronians can digest beetles. Nonetheless, he was VERY offended. He's been pouting ever since.

How do I discourage this behaviour? I don't want him getting sick.
