3rd Lyric ☼ Action

[gtfohamlet]

[Simba lies on the edge of the forest and village. He's to wary from his encounter with Aku to go back into the wooded area, and he doesn't want to bask in the village for fear of two leggeds stepping on him.

Although the lion seems to be enjoying the nice weather, his body looks skinny and unfed. And even though he might seem like he's sleeping,

[Also taking advantage of the good weather, Raph's set out to explore the forest, and has taken to the trees.

He's got a crudely carved slingshot with him, made out of a stick and a rubber band, and is stalking silently through the boughs in search of any poor, defenseless animal to try it on.

He never expected to stumble upon a lion.

Simba, you have a someone stalking you from above, debating on whether or not he should hurl that rock at you anyways.]

[gtfohamlet]

[The feline's ear twitches. He hears something. But he's too tired / lazy to do more than roll over and look at where he believes Raph is hiding. Simba doesn't see him, but has a feeling something is there.]

[meanandgreen]

[Raph sees that twitch and adjusts his position in the trees, studying him from a different angle.

He's seen his share of pretty cool things. But a real-life lion? That's just awesome.

Though it's being pretty boring now, just lying there doing nothing. He'll see if he can't change that.

Raph fishes a smooth stone out of his belt and puts it in the slingshot, drawing back and taking aim at the lion's shoulder. Then, he lets go and gets ready to run.]

[gtfohamlet]

[With a yelp---or whatever lions do that is close to a yelp--- Simba gets up with a start and looks around, very unhappy.]

What was that for?!

[misakasays]

[SOB malnutrition noted but still performing her cat stare technique]

[gtfohamlet]

[He'll look at you lazily, but not move. So tiiired.]

[misakasays]

You seem malnourished, states MISAKA.

[gtfohamlet]

Yeah, I haven't had much to eat.

[gtfohamlet]

[He picks up his head to try and get a better look.] Hugo?

[gtfohamlet]

I haven't been eating so well lately. [He lets his head fall back onto the ground.]

[loveangelflonne]

[Oh my god it's a lion get in the-- ... oh wait, it ... doesn't look too good. Flonne was wary about getting too close at first, but seeing his condition, she can't help herself.]

Oh my ... are you okay?

[gtfohamlet]

No. [He grumbles. It feels like his stomach was trying to eat itself.]

[loveangelflonne]

I guess that was a stupid question -- you look like you haven't eaten in days! Did the Malnosso kidnap you?

[gtfohamlet]

[The big cat shakes his head.]

[markofthewise]

[And Sokka is coming from top secret spirit talking. On his way back what does he spot but a hungry lion? Obviously the smart thing to do is approach it.]

Simba, you're not looking so hot.

[gtfohamlet]

[He laughs, weakly.] Not feelin' so hot either.

[markofthewise]

Not a lot of bugs for eating, huh?

[gtfohamlet]

Pickings are pretty slim.
