first lesson;

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Dictated; after the sounds of things crashing and breaking are done with... ]

Wh—what's going on?! Timon?! Pumbaa! Where are you guys?

[ There are even more sounds now, little paws scrambling about, things being knocked over, claws scratching at the walls, windows, and door. ]

This isn't funny, you guys! Where did you put me? Let me out of here! Is this some sort of test?! I thought we were friends already! ...Oh wait, then does that mean I'm failing? I'm not supposed to panic, right?

Okay, okay! Hakuna Matata! I'm fine. Keep me in here as long as you want, I'll definitely pass! [ A beat, then more quietly. ] I wonder if there's any food in here... This is a really weird looking cave.

[ ooc; Lion cub in the lobby, if you wanna run into him! Dictated as well. It's not like he can open doors... ]

Huh?!

[ WHAT WAS THAT SOUND. ]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[The sound of a guy near by, looking for the source of that clawing...]

What was that-!?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

That's my line! Who are you?! I don't see anybody!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He's peeking from the kitchen door into the lobby...]

2/3 I lied

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Just in time to see Simba talking]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[OH MY GOD MY WORST FEARS HAVE COME TRUE]

[LIONS HAVE LEARNED HUMAN SPEECH. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEE]

Ah-!

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Simba's about to have a similar reaction! Because what he sees in front of him might be similar to a monkey if not for the...everything. So Simba immediately scrambles back, and lets out a....'roar'. ]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[...Okay that roar was so tiny and cute. Though he's not moving from his spot in the doorway]

What is another lion cub doing here...?!

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Wait that gets his attention. He perks up. Another one? ]

There's a pride around here?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Y-Yep, definitely a talking lion. He hates this castle]

Oh God no! That'd be-

Just one other cub! That's all!

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Hm. He's pretty curious, but he doesn't want to risk it being a cub from his own pride, so he ignores the desire to play with one of his own kind, instead observing this...thing. ]

Is this your cave? What are you?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Eh? Uh- no, this is a castle...and I'm a human.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Ah-

We're something you don't eat, okay? [Just to make that clear]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

I'd never eat a monkey! Where's your tail? And what's with your fur?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[GOOD KITTY, GOOD]

We're humans, not monkeys. And...we don't have fur or tails.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ He lifts his paw to motion at the clothes, then his head. ]

Right there! Your fur! Why is it like that?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Um...it just is? I'm not exactly sure why...but we call it hair.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

So... This is a place where 'humans' live? How did I get here?! I thought this was a prank, but Timon and Pumbaa wouldn't go this far.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Um, well...it's hard to explain, but the castle brought you here. Through magic- it brings everyone here like it brought you.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Magic?

[ Seriously people you're talking to a lion. Edit your vocabulary. It just results in him growling. ]

Show me where this Magic is, and I'll teach them a lesson!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Ah- magic isn't a creature. It's...a force? It'd be like trying to take on the sun.

[But yeah he's realizing he's not only talking to an animal, but a child animal]

I...wouldn't worry all too much about it. Eventually I'm sure you'll get sent back to your, er, pride.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Um, excuse me? Are you asking him to just accept this situation? I THINK NOT. The human's phrasing does make him look a bit depressed, though. ]

...I don't live with a pride.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

You...don't?

How come?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

...Because I just don't!

[ You nosy nelly! ]

I live with a warthog and a meerkat. Pumbaa and Timon! Have you seen them? If I got taken, then they must have too!
