Welcome to Gaia! ::

Machupa had been wandering for some time now, his paws beginning to get that numb feeling they always did when he went on one of these 'finding myself out in the wilderness' kicks. Of course, those only came along after he drank that last bit of a batch of delicious, well; he wasn't sure what he was going to call it yet. Fermented fruit juice swirled with honey water and just the right bit of young prey beast blood made the perfect concoction of delirium. And this time, he got it into his head that going towards the ocean was a good idea.

The small male's ears swiveled from side to side as he laxly listened to his surroundings, his eye drifting somewhere in the distance. This was a perfect feeling of ease that Machupa enjoyed thoroughly, his mood mellowed out by the sweet, warm fuzziness that still swirled in his gut. "What a wonderful day!" the male spoke aloud as he swayed on his paws, light fluffy mane making him look less like a threat and more like a still growing youngster. To the contrary, Machupa was as full grown as he was going to get, but that did not stop his claws from unsheathing. "And boring", he hicced slightly, tail flicking harshly out behind him. "Shame, there's no one around", he sighed, disliking the idea of squashing his rowdiness.

The feeling of energy surging through his body was enough for Machupa to shake his scraggly mane out, claws unsheathing and flexing against the ground. The small male arched his neck as he continued along his path haphazardly swaying from paw to paw in a strangely flexible manner, his head abuzz with light swirling feelings of pleasantness and the urge to expel his pent up rowdiness. The wind must have been in his favor, for a particularly strong and cooling gust brought the promise of a strange scent. Someone else was around! The male's eyes quickly flashed up as he swung his head around to get a better look at his surroundings, hoping to catch a glimpse of this stranger. Call him hopeful, but Machupa was ready to tangle with just about anything that could fight back...


Perhaps in a more sober state of mind that may have sent up little blaring warning signals of danger and bad ideas to the little male; but, at the moment Machupa was quite pleased to see such a healthy and fit lion in the area. To say the least, Machupa wasted no time on his approach, rocking into a what just may be considered a stumbling, yet graceful charge forward. "You there! Prepare yourself, I challenge you to a glorious round of manly combat!" he shouted. It was only fair to warn the other guy after all, never mind the gazillion+ pounds he must have had on the sleek bodied Machupa.
