[There's a new face on the com link today. A woman with dark black hair that seems to have life on its own, blue skin and red eyes with a yellow sclera that stare at the screen with a piercing look, smile never faulting. She's beautiful in the same way a fire is beautiful. Get too close and you might not make it out alive.

She's floating on mid air at the top of Prima's tower, wispy smoke where her legs should be. Unlike other newcomers she listened to the basic explanations of the acolytes and then left to explore around the Haven and learn from herself.]

I suppose it was only a matter of time before such a thing as this came about the cosmos, an inter-dimensional portal malfunctioning, dragging us together.

[Doesn’t that alarm her in the slightest? No, not at all. She was bothered by the black marking on her arm but her annoyance didn't last long. Eris feels Unicron's presence in the planet, another chaos god, another destroyer, lurking around the corners of the weaker minds here...It makes her smile. It's not every day that she crosses paths with one of her own kind.]

Precious little mortal puppets, how I have missed interacting with you all. This place is the most beautiful chorus of anguish I've heard in a millennium. Insanity, destruction and strife, and all that without my help. Oh and most of you aren't humans, that’s even better. Who knows what you could do, there are so many possibilities…I’m going to like playing here.

I’m the Goddess of Chaos and Discord. You know me. You’ve seen my work before. You’ve most likely felt my power at some point in your life.

Call me Eris.

I had worse, it's fine.

[It takes more than that to anger her, no worries.]

Chaos is not good nor bad. It happens and it gets the whole world moving, it's a necessary thing. [Okay perhaps her chaos is ~~very~~ somewhat bad but she's not about to tell her that.]

I'm amazed that some of you can actually say those words, I didn't think it was possible. I'm impressed.

Worse than how usually are, you meant? Probably not. [Lies, all lies.]

[A small, hopeful smile tugs on her mouth.]

I'm glad to hear all that. I-I mean, it sounds like a lot of people here have been through some incredibly rough times already; it would be terrible if they had to go through that sort of thing all over again, especially when there's bigger problems, like the Lambda.

[Not that it had given her any trouble since she arrived, but the general consensus is that it's definitely not a good thing.]

And um, well... I like to keep an open mind about things. I once met a bar full of ruffians and they turned out to be lovely people once I got past all their bone-crushing and stealing and scariness. So... I guess it's a little easier for me to try and see that chaos isn't entirely bad.

[Rapunzel, you look like an adorable naive kid and she will love to mess with you. But for now Eris will look and sound as nice as she can. It's not hard to do.]

I've heard a bit about the problems that thing caused, it must have been hard for you too. There's no many humans here, right? The metal men had been rude to you? They didn't try anything, I hope. [Look at how concerned she looks.]

A bar full of ruffians...[Eris can't quite suppress a smile.] You are a really brave young lady. Things are hardly what they looks like, I'm glad you already know it.

[Naive... yes, but some life experience will eventually turn that right around.]

Oh! No, the robots have all been super sweet. But you're right... there aren't many humans. It's definitely strange being part of the minority, but everyone's been so nice that it doesn't make living here miserable.

[The lack of greenery and animals and an open connection to Earth is what makes it miserable.]

Yep. Flynn took me to their bar in an attempt to discourage me from making him keep up his end of our deal... not that I realized that until later. But it did the complete opposite and helped to encourage me to keep at things, so I'm really glad we went. And I guess I'm really glad that experience is helping me now too.

[You go girl, let difficulties make you a tough lady.]

I'm always part of the minority so I know that feel. That's a good thing but is this planet really suited for humans? Where do you find the food?

[Eris's realm, the Tartarus, has none of that so she doesn't care about that. Her only animals are monsters and she does miss her babies.]

Was Flynn a friend of yours? What sort of deal was that?

There's a pantry at the center of the city, but a lot of times, food drops from the Lambda. Some of it's pretty... strange, too. Nothing like I would have seen back home. I mean, we can get by all right. Cybertron isn't ideal for humans, but the robots have made sure it isn't uninhabitable for us, either.

[Something for which she's grateful for.]

Yes, he was. Well, towards the end he was. He... sort of started off as just an escort. The deal was that if he took me to see the lantern festival and returned me home safe, I'd give him back the crown he stole.

[Essentially, she blackmailed him.]

Food really falls from the sky? That's new. Strange how, if I can ask? How is it different from what you used to eat?

[If it's of any consolation Rapunzel, Eris never heard of caned food before either.]

Ah...you had a date.

[Tell Eris that, she will be so proud.]

Well, almost nothing is fresh, which is strange for me, but even the jarred foods are funny. They have funny lids and funny labels and ingredients I couldn't pronounce if I tried, and sometimes they're not even made from glass. Then there's the stuff in metal that's near impossible to open, and then there are things that are wrapped in this weird, slick, waterproof material.

Actually, I think the jars that aren't made out of glass are made out of a hard version of it.

[Plastic. She means plastic.] Nothing is like the food back home.

But, um... I don't know, i-it really wasn't a date. I mean, he had to take me if he wanted me to return his crown. I don't even know if he liked me back. Okay, he liked me, but I don't know if he liked me. N-not that I didn't want him to, I really did, but...

I never got the chance to ask about it.

[Eris makes a face.] Who would eat something like that?

[Not she needs to eat regularly but still. Thanks to the Lambda, she has to do it now to survive, but she's still happily unaware of it.] Waterproof material...hardened leather, perhaps?

[What the hell is plastic.] I'll have to investigate.

Sweetie, you are babbling. Did you like him?

Everyone who has to in order to survive, I guess. We don't exactly have a choice.

And um, no, it's not leather. But trust me when I say you'll know it when you see it.

[O-oh dear. Mother always warned her about the mumbling. Rapunzel offers an apologetic smile, hems, and corrects herself.]

Yes, I did. Flynn was... something else. Someone I couldn't take at face value, someone genuine and warm beneath his cool guise of a persona.

Not gods, we do not eat. Sometimes we drink ambrosia, though. Some ore than others.

I'll pay attention then.

[Your mother is someone Eris would have liked to meet.]

Someone new. New things are always exciting. why was he acting cold if he was not really like that? Did he had something to hide?

Oh, wow...! That's amazing. I guess you're lucky then, considering the food situation here.

[Perhaps one day it will happen~.]

Well, his actual identity for one. He was... um... well, he was a thief. So he went by the name Flynn Rider, after a storybook swashbuckler adventurer.

What food situation? [If is there a way to make it worse, then she's interested in it.

Is the world ready for that day, though? ]

Ah, thieves. [Excuse her apparent disgust. She had some troubles with the last thief she met.] They are always hard to deal with.

Pretty much everything I've already told you.

[The whole "no fresh foods" and "strangely prepackaged" thing.]

Oh, not really. All I had to do was convince him to escort me; it wasn't too hard once I knew what he wanted.

[Surprise, Rapunzel had successfully blackmailed a full-grown man and professional thief.]
