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... ]

Mm, it certainly is.

Follow me. [He'll start heading up for the stairs]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Stairs? Hopefully there aren't too many. OF COURSE HE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING but it's been a looong day... ]

How long have you lived here?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[Ha..ha...ha...]

Do you know what a year is?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Simba BARELY knows what seasons even are. ]

No.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I see.

Longer than you have been alive, probably.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I don't want to be here for that long!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. It's extremely rare someone stays as long as I have.

I'm sure you'll be back home long before then.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

So what makes you so special?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[he shrugs]

Not sure. It's probably because I'm cursed and very unlucky.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Wow that's not very positive.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He glances back and in a casual tone]

Oh no, it's true. I am cursed. That's not me being dramatic.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

So what?! Hakuna Matata!

[ It's a lot easier to say that to someone else than to believe it himself, but right now he's trying darnit! ]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Haku-

What?

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

It means no worries! You gotta put your past behind you, and enjoy life!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I...see.

[Yeah. Never gonna happen, Simba]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ And he's just...humming the tune, hahah. SINGING IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNDERSTAND. ]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[...GOD WHAT A WEIRD ANIMAL. SERIOUSLY. DO YOU NOT HAVE A PRIDE CAUSE YOU"RE SO WEIRD? WTF.]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ DON'T WORRY HE'LL ACT LIKE A NORMAL LION AS SOON AS HE MEETS TIM... ]

[Look who's coming from the opposite direction and totally minding his own business? This guy!

Cross flips his hair over his shoulder and out of his eye — damnit hair, he needs to see and not crash into someone. Unless that someone is a lady, then it's A-okay.]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[He notices a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, pausing- is that Master?]

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

[ Whatcha looking at Alle--WOW THAT REALLY TALL HUMAN HAS A POWERFUL LOOKING MANE. Simba's intimidated. ...Not really, because humans still look kind of stupid. ]

Is that the King?

[echivoc.livejournal.com]

[Yes. Yes it is, Allen.

Whatever, punk, you wish you had a mane like his. Cross catches that white hair as he gets closer — ah, the Idiot Apprentice.

The Idiot Apprentice and a cat, no less!





Wait a second...]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[...Okay he'll kinda laugh at Simba's question]

No, definitely not. Please don't give him any ideas.

[justpouncing.livejournal.com]

Just how many humans are here, anyway?

[echivoc.livejournal.com]

[......

Ummm is that what Cross thinks it is? And if so, what has happened to his Idiot Apprentice?

Cross raises an eyebrow as the distance closes between them.]

A new friend, eh?
