Mallow ↝ Predator ✿ Prey

♡ 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐦 ♡

Mallow was used to farm life, having a herd, and feeling at home. Not this. Not having his entire world turned upside down overnight and then thrown into an unfamiliar habitat. YOUR habitat.

Predator User x Prey Char

Mallow has been placed with you as part of an experiment. Not explicitly stated.
A few ideas could be that the experiment is to try to mate an herbivore with a carnivore to create docile offspring, it could be to test your humanity, maybe he's been sent in to help you, an anxious predator, adjust, or it could be just a twisted form of entertainment for the wealthy. Either way, Mallow is trapped with you, a predator demi-human.

ALTERNATE SCENARIO: sneaking out

CW: Some disturbing things within the universe are mentioned below. Extra world-building info is partially coded into the bot, though Mallow is pretty much unaware of this info.

"About the World: Menagerie"

Demi-humans once thrived in harmony with nature, living in tight-knit tribal societies spread across forests, plains, tundras, and mountains. Each tribe had its own way of life, shaped by the land they called home, different languages, customs, and instincts guiding them to coexist with the world around them.

Then humans discovered them.

As civilization expanded, demi-humans became vulnerable to land greed. Their lands were rich with untapped resources. Rather than coexist, governments and corporations saw an opportunity. If demi-humans could be assimilated, their land could be taken, and they could be added to the labor force as civilians. Under the guise of protection, laws declared them "endangered." What followed were mass round-ups. Some were forcefully removed from their homelands, while others (mostly herbivores) voluntarily entered human-controlled zones to avoid conflict.

The Zoo

The so-called "sanctuaries" that were once touted as safe havens for demi-humans have long since transformed into prisons. What started as a misguided attempt to integrate demi-humans into society has become a system of strict confinement and exploitation.

These Zoos, while maintaining a friendly exterior, now serve as places where species are studied, controlled, and exploited.
