[Intro]

[Shenzi scowls at the journal.]

Ok, what the heck is this? And where is everyone? WHY am I here? Where are Ed and Banzai?? Someone had better answer my question or there will be trouble!

[Unless you’re bigger and have really sharp claws, then you’re allowed to take a pass at the answering thing.]

Another question, yeah I still got ‘em: What are all these furless upright creatures all around here? Can I eat ‘em? They don’t look like no animal I’ve ever seen before, and I don’t even know if they can fight back! They don’t have sharp teeth or claws. Weird. I’m real hungry, I think I’ll try to take one down to see how it tastes, I hope it tastes good because there sure are a lot of them.

[Voice] (How's this for an answer...)

[divine_storm]

NO! You can't eat us.

Holy jeez it talks!

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

....

[It talks... and it's all pink... and it has weird things on it's body...]

[divine_storm]

What's with the animals thinking we're food! We're probably not even tasty in the first place. Get your own food.

[It takes Zira a moment, but she sure as hell recognizes that voice. Hence, the growl.]

You. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, you show up.

[Voice]

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

[That voice...]

Hey I know you! You're the crazy lioness!

Re: [Voice]

[notched-hate.livejournal.com]

CRAZY!? I am Scar's mate you backstabbing scavenger.

[i-killedmufasa.livejournal.com]

Is that you, Shenzi?

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

[Oh she knows THAT voice.]

Scar?? Is that you?

[i-killedmufasa.livejournal.com]

Would anyone else bother talking to you?

It's such a shame to see that you've been brought to this terrible place.

[Suppressing anything that would sound like a sigh or a groan. More of the bad coming from the world of the Pride Lands is never good. Scar, Zira who he doesn't remember so well, and now Shenzi.

He feels a little foolish on whether or not he should bother talking to her. It's not like he'd ever really help her. Still, he doesn't feel all that nervous. He's encountered worse, a lot worse even before finding himself in this nuthouse of a castle.]

No one knows how or why they come to be in this place. It's called Paixao.

[The hyena's second question reminds Jake of an incident about a lion killing someone somewhere within the city. It was some weeks back when it happened.]

Human beings may not have any natural weapons, but around here they mostly make them. Some are capable of fighting with some unnatural weapons. [Not that he'd ever tell her about morphing.]

All I'm saying is this; it's more trouble than you'd think to consider us as prey.

[She can't get over the way they talk. With their tiny mouths and flat teeth. How do they manage speech?]

....

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

[How animals from her world can speak like he can, outside a television set, is beyond him.]

...You still there?

[Voice]

[he-watches-you.livejournal.com]

You would do well to curb your appetite.

[Voice]

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

Y-You're dead. I saw you're dead body. What ar- What are you doing here??

[She knows that voice. Not well, but she knows it.]

[Voice]

[he-watches-you.livejournal.com]

I see. You are from my future. [That just means he's more disgusted than usual.] I am alive.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

That... voice.

[Voice]

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

[She sniffs at the device suspiciously. No, she can't make out a scent but she knew that voice.]

Hey, who's this?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Uh... Fred?

[snaky-raven.livejournal.com]

[Well, you're certainly not a creature he recognizes. Interesting. A very different type of laguz from some alternate Tellius? ...Wait. Maybe that sounds a little far-fetched. He sounds somewhat amused.]

The trinket you speak into is what is known as a journal. Very useful when navigating the city, as well as long distance communication...

Humans by the way aren't worth the trouble to hunt down. It's better to gather the shiny leaves and show them to those who serve better entrees. For it's so much easier that way. [Naesala knows so, being the scavenger he is. He'd eat just about anything--being a raven and all.]

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

Shiny leaves? [What was this human babbling about?]

[snaky-raven.livejournal.com]

Take a look around. You'll notice the plant life is fake. Atop the trees and bushes are gold leaves. Collect enough of them, and they'll give you a full course meal without complaints. So ridiculously easy, if you choose that boring option.

The ones that live around here won't be able to stop you if take what you want from them, regardless. They're rather skittish, and don't have any fight in them. [He speaks like he's higher than those Walkers--to which he knows he is. In either form, full-on blackbird or as he is now, he's quite intimidating to those featherless chickens.]

Oh! You're... ( a pause ) a hyena? That's right, isn't it?

[voice]

[headhyena47.livejournal.com]

[Ok, she's starting to get used to everyone.]

Yeah, I'm a hyena... are you a human?

[esperize.livejournal.com]

Um... sort of. But -- just recently, I became like you, briefly. A hyena.

Appearances are deceiving. No 'can be' to it. Humans tend to use weapons and armor other than the ones they were born with, and we've become very good at it.
