apping to mayfield_rpg and mun is super nervous

[helivesinyou]

Now, there is no need to rush through your application and leave mistakes littered everywhere. You have to take your time and learn that slow and steady is key. Rushing will leave you nowhere.

There is more to a good application than patting it down with facts and history from my canon. You have to understand a character and their motivations. Perhaps a good run-down of the movie will do you some good. Then, you will be ready to properly play me.

I never met a lion before!

[helivesinyou]

Haha, and I have never met one such as you.

[toothaches]

You must live way out in Africa where those dudes in the jeeps can't bother you. Dudes that look like me, I mean.

_{[But with way less-cool hair.]}

[helivesinyou]

Yes, probably so. Much of this is my first time.

[ What are humans, jeeps, vampires, and whatnot? ]

[toothaches]

So, what's a lion that can talk do all day?

[helivesinyou]

Much as every other lion that cannot speak, but as king, I must keep the delicate balance of Pride Rock in place.

[apneachamp]

[...So many Lion King characters....okay. Talking lion....um what do you even call a talking lion. So out of her depth.]

...so you're going to Mayfield too?

Simba will be happy to see you.

[helivesinyou]

Ah, so my son is there? It will be good to see him again.

[apneachamp]

Yeah. He's living at the house Davis and I are at.

[helivesinyou]

I hope he hasn't caused you too much trouble.

[ Simba does have a habit of doing that... ]

[apneachamp]

Nothing too bad.

[After destroying the living room.]

[thelyinking]

"Always look before you leap." Coming from you, Mufasa, that's a very fitting lesson to be learned.

[helivesinyou]

[ (fuu)!! ]

Don't you start with me, Scar.

[thelyinking]

Brother, please. Control your temper. I was merely making an observation.

[helivesinyou]

If I recall correctly, you were the one that threw me back into the gorge and to my death.

[thelyinking]

...So I was. And yet here you are.

[Drat.]

Clearly, I shall have to do better next time.

[helivesinyou]

There won't be a next time. I suggest that you stick clear of me and my son in the near future.

[thelyinking]

Believe me when I say I should like nothing more. But our family reunion is unavoidable, it seems. My mun's quite the little schemer, himself.

[kovuwhataguy]

You're telling it how to properly send you off to that place?

Well, I guess I can't expect much from a pridelander.

[helivesinyou]

[ 'Pridelander'? This is new. ]

And who might you be?

[kovuwhataguy]

Zira's daughter, Vitani. You were dead before I was born.

[helivesinyou]

[ Oh yes, Vitani. Mufasa vaguely remembers her. ]

I assume that the term 'pridelander' has also come after my death?

[detector]

Very sound advice, indeed! One must always be sure to look over their findings carefully. We wouldn't want anyone running off with the wrong conclusion, correct?

[Giant lion dad, meet tiny human girl.]

[helivesinyou]

[ Hello, tiny human girl. ]

Yes, it will lead to nothing but trouble. That is the least thing that my mundane would like.

[causesstampedes]

...Dad? Are you really coming to Mayfield?

[helivesinyou]

[ Oh, hello, Simba. What's with that look? ]

I am, if my mundane finishes her application. Is there something wrong?

[ Other than the fact that, y'know, he's dead... ]

[causesstampedes]

[Just Mufasa being dead, Simba getting exiled and Scar taking over, you know that kinda stuff.]

No, I just...

I really missed you.

[helivesinyou]

[ Just all the things needed for a lion cub to grow into an adult, but aw, Simba... Mufasa knows that it's not time to speak about what has happened. He just has to let the whole course of time happen out first, wait till Simba's an adult. ]

I've missed you too, Simba. Is Mayfield treating you well?

[gamey]

Sire!

[Oh golly gosh is Zazu ever pleased to see Mufasa!]

[helivesinyou]

Zazu, it's good to see you again. I didn't expect you around.

[ Just all the TLK muses popping up today. ]

[gamey]

[Mufasa's just got that much magnetic appeal!

He's going to perch on that comfortable shoulder he's missed for so long, just like Mufasa never died. There's no point, he's found, in freaking out anymore.

At Mufasa being alive somewhere, that is. Freaking out about everything else is still A-OKAY!]

Where would the Pride Lands be without their majordomo? I'm almost offended you didn't think I'd be about with so many...lions.

[Feather ruffling.]

It's good to see you again, as well, Sire.

[helivesinyou]

[ Man, he has really missed Zazu sitting on his shoulder like this. Why'd Scar have to be a dick and toss him off a cliff? ]

[ He gives a low chuckle. ]

I hope that your mundane is treating you better than mine is to me.

[gamey]

[Because Shakespeare?

At the question, Zazu pulls his neck in, giving him a rather disgruntled appearance.]

Oh, she has her moments, certainly. What's your doing to you, Sire?

[stardustmirage]

[Believe or not, but this isn't the first time he's met a talking lion.]

... Good point. Hasty decisions hardly ever have positive outcome.

[helivesinyou]

[ That's... rather concerning. ]

Yes, it's a lesson everyone should come to understand one day.

[matterofpride]

Oh brother....

[It isn't entirely clear if that's a meant as a greeting or if he's annoyed to see you.]

[helivesinyou]

[ Oh jeez, another one of you. All of Mufasa's angry faces!! ]

So there's more than one of you around.

[ He sounds extremely displeased about this, for very good reasons. ]

[matterofpride]

[Nope. Didn't flinch. ]

I wouldn't know about that...

[He sounds extremely bored. Oh look a yawn.]

[puppet_show]

Mundanes can be so impatient sometimes! Even mine is raring to go even though she still has a lot to keep her occupied at the moment!
