[There's a bit of a struggle to get the electronic journal up and running, but eventually, Simba's voice passes through the system.]

Hello? Wha-- Oh, I think it's on. Ahem, ah, anyone hear me? That is how this is supposed to work, right?

Anyway, whatever. My name's Simba. I'm... well, I'm pretty new here. I ran into a couple of my buddies here, but do I know anyone else here?

--Right, this is probably gonna reach people who don't know me at all. Hi! I'm Simba. I'm a lion. And I... am really confused about where this place is supposed to be. I don't suppose any of you can talk me through it?

[mightyhuntress]

W-well... [It sounds a bit like she's trying to decide if it's a good idea or not to say this.]

My... name is Kiara.

[onetrueking]

Ah, Kiara! Kovu told me I'd want to talk to you.

[mightyhuntress]

Oh...ah... he did?

What... else did he tell you?

[onetrueking]

Well, he said you'd tell me more.

[You can almost hear the shrug just from his tone of voice. So much immature indifference!]

He explained his situation to me, and brought you up, but he didn't tell me anything about who you are.

[mightyhuntress]

O-oh... well... t-that's not really important right now. I mean, it's not like everything isn't confusing enough as it is, right? Scar back from the dead, and... just... everything.

I'm just... someone you will meet, one day.

[onetrueking]

You know about Scar, huh...

What do you mean, "someday"?

[mightyhuntress]

Oh... um. Yes.

Well... I mean... in the future? [All the awkwardness. Kiara is realizing full well that she's REALLY sucking at this being vague-ness...]

[onetrueking]

...You can't just tell me?

[mightyhuntress]

W-well... I could, but... you've probably had enough surprises for one day.

Besides, you probably wouldn't believe me anyways...

[onetrueking]

Well, what's one more surprise gonna do?

And you don't know that until you try.

[mightyhuntress]

The last time I told someone it took them awhile to believe me... so... heh.

...Are you sure?

[onetrueking]

Gimme your best shot.

[mightyhuntress]

Well...

What... if I said I was your daughter?

[onetrueking]

...

[He's quiet, for a while, as he thinks about that.]

I haven't had any kids, yet...

[But--]

The... future?

[mightyhuntress]

[Can't ever say she didn't warn him...]

Yes...

There's... a lot of past and future here.

[onetrueking]

...Wow. Someone said that, but I guess I didn't realize...

...My daughter, huh?

[mightyhuntress]

Heh... Yeah.

[onetrueking]

...Man, I better start being a dad, then.

Or, err, are you at that age where you don't need a dad anymore...?

((omg I apparently DREAMT I replied this. /)_o(\;;; I'm so sorry this is so late. ffff))

[mightyhuntress]

Ah, well, heh... Um... sort of? ...Except, maybe not quite, but... [...In other words, that age where you want to SAY you don't, but, you kinda do.] B-but, I mean, you don't have to do that. It's okay!

[Her voice softens and sounds honestly a little relieved.]

I'm just glad you believe me.

HAH HAH it's totally fine no worries!

[onetrueking]

It's hard to believe, but benefit of the doubt, you know! I kinda have to believe anything in this place.

...I think we should meet up, huh?
