[There is shaky breathing at the beginning of this feed.]

Kiara... [Mufasa's voice is strangely...weak.] Kovu...

[He groans, coughing.] I would like to see...both of you.

[Each word sounds like it's costing him.] Timon...and Pumbaa...if you are free as well... [Somehow, he manages to touch a button, giving everyone his coordinates.]

[Guess who has been lost in the darkness for some time? When Mufasa speaks, his low voice is sadder than usual. The Heartless have done their best to force him to lose hope, but he isn't a king for nothing. Now, however, in addition to sounding sad, he also sounds exhausted. In fact, this post begins with his labored breathing.]

I...have much...to hear. What have I...missed? [He growls in irritation before letting himself to sit down.] The Heartless...had their way with me. I am free.

[That is all he can say. The sounds of him lapping up water can be heard.]

I have learned a great deal about this land. I never expected to meet humans - much less humans with exceptional powers. [He chuckles lowly.]

Perhaps one of them could rid us of the troublesome shadows. [And by "troublesome shadows" he means the Heartless.] Would anyone be willing to give it a try?

[Hey everyone, have a bored Hyena.]

C'mooooon this place is boring! Isn't there anything a hyena can do around here That doesn't involve trying to avoid the lions? Also is there a place where we can actually hunt for prey? Killing 'em is half the fun y'know.

[the Doctor... shouts. Well, close to it; he doesn't bother being subtle or anything like that]

Calling all lions! Except for you, Scar, because nobody likes you. Is there a Simba on the loose? You're late for supper and your father's very cross. And since he's so cross, I'd like to tell you on his behalf that you're grounded.

[is he joking? Is he serious? The world may never know.]

[Oh look! Privacy settings. Is Mufasa getting sneakier? (Open to everyone BUT Scar, Zira, Shenzi and Ed.)]

I had hoped I would not have to warn those living in Paixao. But the time has come for you to be aware. I have done what I can in the past where it concerns the hyenas, yet...

[There is clear disappointment in his voice.]

They do no follow the circle of life. Keep close watch over your loved ones.

All will be well.

[All you can see is the flash of something white--a tooth?--and pink. You hear some noises that sound rather odd. The sort of sound you get when someone's chewing on something hard.

If you realize, Ed's chewing on the communicator. He tried to chew on the trees and fruits earlier, but that didn't work out very well--they weren't real.]

Hyahyahyahyahyahya~!

[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.

I have located Pride Rock. It is not entirely the same. But it is safe. [If you were a Heartless, would you screw with Mufasa? Yeah. Didn't think so.]

All are welcome to join me. [Even if you are a heartless back-stabber. Just know Mufasa will be watching you like a hawk.]

If you are unsure how to find it, I will show you the way.

WHERE IS SHE?!

[The roar that follows echoes through the domes, reverberating throughout almost half the city from the Western slums. Anyone who listens to the post will find that Beast didn't bother to stop recording it, and will find their ears assaulted with as much power as the journal speakers can muster. The sounds of furniture getting destroyed can also be heard in the background.]

[ooc: Beast's replies are going to have lots of caps, and lots of angry yelling. Just...in case that wasn't painfully obvious. >.>]
