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... ]

[Martel comes down to the lobby, and sees a rather strange creature trying to eat the couches. Her first though is that it's a monster, but then she realizes it's probably who she's been talking to. She walks over.] That's a couch, actually.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ He pulls his head out of the cushions to look over, spitting some of the fluff out. He recognizes that voice! Curious, he stands up and hops down from the couch. ]

Well it doesn't taste very good! How were you doing that? Where were you hiding?

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

[Martel holds up her journal.] This book. Everybody in this place has one. You can use it to talk to people, no matter where they are. [She looks around.] I don't know where yours is...

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ He looks around and shrugs. He doesn't even know what a book is. ]

Um, I don't know... But your voice was coming from one of those corners.

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

[Martel goes and pokes around, and finds a journal in it.] Here it is! [She brings it over.]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ And on the cover it says 'Simba', not that he can read it of course. He just tilts his head at it curiously, but he's not too interested. ]

Can I eat it?

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

No you can't eat it. [She reads the cover.] Is your name...Simba?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Wow, how'd you know that?!

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

Your name is written on your journal. But you probably can't read writing. I'm Martel, by the way. ...What kind of an animal are you?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

A lion! Isn't it obvious?

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

Not really. We don't have lions on my world.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a weird world!

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

Well, I think a world with talking lions in it is weird! Being weird is completely relative. [She sits down on the ruined couch.] You'd never met anybody like me before, have you?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't we be able to talk?!

[ Silly human. With a tilt of his head, he sits down on the ground nearby, just not near enough to touch. ]

I met a human earlier named Allen. But that was the first time. You're different, though. A girl, right?

[heal-theworld.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not used to creatures speaking. [Actually, they just try to attack you on her world.]

I'm a half-elf, which is half-human and half-elf. And yes, I am a girl. [She smiles at him.]
