pantheraleo | 1st Roar [Action/Video]

[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!

Yeah, there's lot of grass and not very many trees. But I think all of this...

[He gestures a paw at the buildings.]

Is even weirder.

You've never seen buildings before?

Nope. What are they?

They're what humans live in. Think of them as being like a cave that we built.

Oh.

[Which begs the question...]

Why would you want to build a cave? Can't you just go live in one?

Well, sometimes there aren't caves where people want to live, or there aren't enough caves for all of the people. So then people build buildings instead so everyone can live together in a village or a town. Otherwise everyone would be spread out all over the place.

Oh... well why can't everyone just live in the same cave together? That's what we do.

But wouldn't everyone end up fighting?

Nope! It's like living in one big family. It was pretty cool, actually.

[Not that Simba would really know any different, but well.]

Oh. I don't really know much about what families are like, so...

Oh... [Well that's just a little awkward.]

[It would be more awkward if he weren't well aware of the fact that he isn't really human, so small blessings?]

When you put it that way, it does sound kind of nice.
