1st Roar * Audio + Commentlog

[gonnabeamighty]

[The comm is dropped as it starts to record and it catches the tail end of someone's sentence.]

--you can't change the...past. What the--?

[Simba pauses, circles the room.]

Where am I? Nala? Timon? Pumbaa? You guys here?

[He moves over to the door. It takes him a few tries, but after enough fiddling, the door opens and Simba sprints out into

Comments

I'm sorry I could not resist 1/?

[unamvirtus]

[Sup he just woke up and is kinda wandering around the halls, half asleep. He's alerted by a voice down the hall however, and turns to look.]

I can't count 2/?

[unamvirtus]

[He is met with A GIANT HAIRY CAT THING SPRINTING DOWN THE HALL JFHSLKDG WHAT IS THAT!!!]

3/3

[unamvirtus]

[He wails and jumps back, tripping over his own feet in his groggy bewilderment and falling over. Very graceful.]

aopefafij I love Link, okay.

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba has to skid to a stop to keep from colliding with Link all together. He stumbles just a few feet shy of the boy. Once he regains his composure, he takes a few steps back and eyes Link warily.]

I love Simba ;/////;

[unamvirtus]

[GAAAAAH. He wails again and flails wildly to try and get upright, eventually managing, though he keeps staring throughout. His look is less wary and more of a gape.]

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba is trying not to laugh at this kid. But after watching him flail about, Simba decides he's probably harmless.]

Are you okay?

[unamvirtus]

[Maybe that's because you could EAT HIM. Hence, why he's not so sure how to respond-- Giant Talking Hairy Cat Thing is talking to him, and it sounds innocent but it could just be... you know. SETTING HIM UP FOR THE KILL. For now he doesn't really have any reason to believe that in a justified manner, though, so he nods... slowly.

But then he has an idea! Wow! Hastily, he fishes out his magic slate and holds it out. Because anyone who has a slate (except Ganondorf) is a good guy, right?]

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba watches the little human boy curiously. Oh hey he has one of those! But he left it back in his room.]

I've got one of those. I think. It's back in my room. One sec.

[He turns and bounds back down the hall, disappearing into his room for a moment. He returns a little later clutching the comm in his jaws. He sets it on the floor at Link's feet.]

This thing?

[unamvirtus]

[Oh! So the Giant Hairy Cat has one after all! This relieves him significantly... he's met Toboe already, and even though he speaks he seems really nice. If this guy wants to eat him then he's a really good actor.

Once Giant Hairy Cat returns with his magic slate, he's already on his feet again. He resists the urge to take a step back from the slate now that it has SALIVA GERMS on it, ewww. He's not gonna touch it, you put your mouth on that!

Instead he nods insistently, holding his out again. He can't see a thing he's typing, so it comes out pretty garbled-- the point is just to show Simba that the buttons are for writing, if he can even... do that, with his paws. Link isn't sure.]

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba tilts his head at Link as he watches him press the buttons.]

Oh I get it!

[He swipes a paw at the comm and watches it slide across the floor. Okay maybe he doesn't.]

[unamvirtus]

[AVOIDS SALIVA-COVERED SLATE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Okay so that's not going to work; time for another approach! He leans over Giant Hairy Cat's tablet to read and memorize the ID, before holding his own out again. He makes a point of emphasizing strongly the button he is pressing to activate the voice connection, before he makes noise into it.]

Aah?

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba jumps when a voice comes out of his comm. Hey. It talks. He circles it curiously then sniffs it. He presses the button Link showed him with a claw then leans down toward the microphone.]

Hello?

[unamvirtus]

[Excellent, progress! He "aah!"s again once Giant Hairy Cat's voice emanates from his slate, waving to accentuate it. He points between them, just to make this VERY CLEAR. This is how the tablets work, see?]

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba sits down, tilts his head to watch Link's miming. Oh! Okay. Simba nods.]

I get it.

[He leans down to talk into the comm again.]

My name is Simba, by the way.

[unamvirtus]

[More progess!! He smiles, very relieved that he's able to communicate well enough for Giant Hairy Cat to understand-- though his name is Simba, so maybe that's a nicer thing to call him. He seems really nice, anyways. Just kind of lost like he was.

He waves again, though this time as a greeting. Unable to help from being a bit curious, he approaches slowly, though careful just in case Simba like his own personal space.]

[gonnabeamighty]

[Simba saw Link approaching him, so he was careful to sit still. No sudden movements. He didn't want to scare his new friend.]

What's your name?
