1st Roar [Action/Video]

[pantheraleo]

[The last thing Simba had known, he was in the desert, newly exiled from the Pridelands. He had wandered for what felt like forever before passing out from sheer exhaustion and dehydration. Now, he was slumped on the  rooftop of Luceti's schoolhouse, snoozing away with his journal acting as a pillow. Eventually the cub began to stir, and as he did so, leaned to far to the side.

He was suddenly wide awake as the little lion began to tumble and roll down the side of the roof. Desperately trying to stop himself, Simba's claws scratched and scrabbled for purchase, taking some shingles with him as he went. The inevitable occured and he went sailing off the edge, with his claws finally hooking in, causing Simba to dangle several feet above the ground. His journal had fallen as well, hitting the ground in such a way that it came open and triggered the video feed.

Those watching the journals will have a ground view of the cub as he dangles from the school's roof.

Eyes wide in terror, Simba tries to get himself back up before he falls, but to no avail. Quickly his mind goes back to a recent incident where he clung to the spindly remains of a tree while wildebeest thundered past him. Tears spring to his eyes, for he knows his dad won't be there to rescue him this time. So he does the only thing he can think to do, and screams.]

HEEEEEEEELP!

[Cries for help? Have no fear, your friendly, neighborhood Rainbow Dash is here!

When she spots Simba dangling there, she stops and stares for a moment, if only because, whoa. Okay. Never seen a lion cub this closely before.

But, that all wears off soon enough, and Dash zips closer to him.]

Need a lift?

[Please don't be too alarmed by her weird colors and overall goofy look. Last thing she needs is for the kid to fall before she can even help out.]

[pantheraleo]

[A voice? Up here? Simba looks at Rainbow Dash with terror, his eyes widening even more.]

W-what are you?!

[wannabolt]

We can cover questions later! C'mon, just hop on already. It's not like I'm gonna eat you.

[She huffs.]

[pantheraleo]

[Simba stares for a moment, but he can't really argue. As far as hopping on though.. that's easier said than done from his position. Squeezing his eyes shut, the lion cub releases his claws, hoping to drop on the strange blue... zebra bird?]

[Voice]

[geniustheveil]

[Ami's in love as soon as she sees the lion cub in the journal picture window. As soon as she realizes he's now a resident, and not one of the animals of Luceti, she recalls Simba and wonders how the two might be connected - the Turtles, after all, are all from the same world. Talking lions couldn't be too common, either, could they?

More importantly, he needs help. A voice comes from the journal.]

Are you alright?! Where are you? I can come to help.

[Video]

[pantheraleo]

[Holding on for dear life, Simba is looking around, as he hears a voice. He doesn't see anyone though.]

I don't know!

[And really he doesn't... he has no clue where he is.]

[Video]

[geniustheveil]

It's important to stay calm. [And Ami's already heading out the door.] What can you see? I can try to think of where it might be from that.

[Video]

[pantheraleo]

[He's trying to stay calm, but it's hard to in this situation. Again he looks around, seeing things he's never seen before. He doesn't know what a building is, and describing it is...well.]

Who are you? Where are you?!

[Where is that voice coming from? And then his claws start to slip.]

Aaaagh, I'm slipping!

[Action]

[idealism]

[What kind of a cat manages to climb that high up? Tsuzuki only notices him by accident, but after that he very well can't just turn and walk away again.]

Don't be scared!

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[A not so willing one! Simba has no idea how he got up there! The cub's ears swivel as he hears a voice, turning his head to try and look down at the source.]

I-I'm not scared!

[He sure sounds scared though.]

[Action]

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki's dealt with plenty of teenage pride lately, which is why he's not commenting on Simba's words. Instead he positions himself right beneath him, so he won't hit anything hard when he falls.]

Take it easy. How long have you been hanging there?

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[How long? That seemed like a kinda silly question to ask as he was hanging on for dear life.]

I don't know, I just want to get get down!

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang is walking through town when he sees several shingles followed by the journal falling to the ground. He looks up and... sees a struggling animal. That is calling for help. The wings are his first clue that it isn't just a native animal of Luceti. Within a moment, he air-hops up to the roof]

Need help, little guy?

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[Simba's eyes go wide as he watches someone... something... spring up onto the roof.]

Uh... yeah. Kinda.

[And soon would be preferable!]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang screws up his face for a second, trying to scrutinize the situation, than he holds out a hand towards the strange cub.]

Then grab my... hand?

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[Simba stares at Aang's for a moment before taking action. Letting go with one of his paws, he reaches to grab Aang's hand... with claws extended.]

[justicereigns]

[Smoker's ears flick and upon seeing the lion in distress, he switches an arm to smoke to gently catch the cub.]

Relax, it won't hurt, all right? [It's like a cloud! So really... just weird, but comfy at least. He sets about putting the lion carefully on the ground, questions can come later, he figures.]

You okay?

[pantheraleo]

[Okay this is really weird, and this guy is just a little scary looking. But he can't really complain when he finds himself down on the ground again.]

Uh, yeah, I'm okay. Thanks.

[justicereigns]

Sorry to surprise you, didn't want you to fall.

[Eternally gruff, but his bark is worse than his bite, and he switches his smoke arms back to human now that the cub is all set.]

Do you normally make a habit of climbing heights or was that the Malnosso?

[Action]

[Miyabi was just doing some shopping and browsing around the plaza when she heard that yell for help. Whirling left and right to find the source, she spies a tiny...cat? It looks like a cat--hanging from the school's roof. Dropping everything in her hands, Miyabi dashes over, calling out loud and clear--]

Ah, I-I'm coming, little kitty! Don't let go! [What to do, what to do?! Miyabi may be able to jump up there, seeing as how she's human sized today, and not puny, but that still may even be cutting it close.] Just...give me a second. I need to think of how to get up...!

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[Kitty? Did she mean him? He wasn't really sure what to make of that. He's not a kitty! But he didn't think about that long as his paw slipped and he had to quickly regain his grip.]

Hurry!

[Action]

[inkdrops]

[Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods--vjdkcvhdt. The only thing Miyabi can really think of doing at this point, in her panic, is to create a tree under her feet with her brush skills and a bit of Luceti's filial magic. Once it's grown, she reaches out and grabs the little lion by the scruff of the neck, before he falls.]

I've got you, little one.

[knightofratatosk]

[Emil can't just ignore someone calling for help, even if he... has no idea where they are at the moment. It takes him a few moments of looking around the plaza before he spots what looks like a cat dangling from the roof of the schoolhouse and immediately races over.]

Hold on, I'll be right there!

[Action]

[pantheraleo]

[He looks like he might lose his grip any moment, and Simba turns a panic stricken look towards Emil as best he can.]

Hurry! I'm gonna fall!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[That just spurs Emil to run even faster in a desperate attempt to get there before the cub actually DOES fall, arms held out to catch him just in case.

Hopefully he'll make it there in time...]
