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!

You never heard of people? But they're always around with animals. We're also called humans.

Nope, I've never seen anything like you before.

[If people were supposed to be around animals, they sure weren't in his world. Or at least his part of it.]

Oh. That's weird. But now you know one! And what kind of creature are you?

[Simba puffs out his chest a bit in pride.]

I'm a lion.

[And this would probably be the point where he'd brag about being king one day... but... well. At this thought Simba deflates again.]

Just a lion, huh? That's pretty neat. [As long as you don't eat him.] I've only seen moose-lions before, myself.

[This... is more than a little confusing. Just a lion? What's that supposed to mean? ... Moose-lion? Simba stares.]

What's that?

Well a saber-tooth moose lion kinda looks like you but furrier and brown furred. Also it has big antlers and two big teeth. Sokka met a baby one once and named him Foofoo Cuddlypoops.

[Simba makes a face at this description, because that just sounds... like a -really- weird animal. But the last bit gets him the most.]

What kinda name is that?

It's a Sokka name. To be fair, he did look very cuddly. He actually wasn't that much smaller than you!

Yeah well, I'm not cuddly or cute, okay?

[He definitely doesn't want a name like that.]

I don't know about cuddly, but maybe cute! But you're new here, right Simba?

[He is not cute! X[ Okay maybe he is, but Simba is not admitting to it!]

Yeah, I guess. I've never been here before.

Well I'll gladly show you around and explain things to you if you want! I work at the Welcome Center.

Okay, sure.

[He didn't really know what a Welcome Center was, but that's cool.]

Great. ... I guess we should get down from this roof first, huh? [He stretches out his arms.] I guess I'll... carry you down?

Yeah, we probably should.

[He didn't really like being up here anyway. But as Aang stretches out his arms, he takes a couple tentative steps closer.]

O...kay.

Just get into my arms and I';ll take care of the rest.

[And he does so. Climbing into Aang's arms and hoping he doesn't drop him or something.]

Great. Now here we go! [Holding the small lion in his hands, Aang hops off the roof and uses Airbending to slow their fall so that he lands gracefully on his feet.]

[This is just... kind of amazing. Aang is like a monkey, but a flying monkey. Simba's eyes are wide up until the point they're on the ground again.]

How did you do that?

[Aang goes to set Simba back down on the ground.]

Airbending! [After almost six months, you think he'd realize no one else knows what that means.]

[Now that he's safely on the ground, he turns to look up at Aang, and sits.]

What's Airbending?

[He sits across from the cub with his legs folded.]

It's what I just did! I can control the air around me to do all kinds of things, and I can bend the other elements too.

[Simba is amazed.]

You can control the air? That's really cool.

It really is! I can show you a trick if you want, too!
