[Mun saw 'Beauty and the Beast' in 3D last night and this guy is now in her head]

[trappedwithin]

[a low, threatening growl]

Why have you brought me here?

Comments

[gamey]

[Have someone who's far from threatened, Prince.]

I think that's the question we all would like to know, sir.

[trappedwithin]

[scowl and then a snarl]

Who are you?

[gamey]

[Beast knows what birds are, surely!]

Me? I'm Zazu, Majordomo to the kings of the Pride Lands.

[trappedwithin]

[Oh, he knows what birds are - he's just not used to them talking to him.]

Major-what?

[He never was very cultured, this one - or literate.]

[gamey]

[Zazu would be confused and yet honored to be the first!]

Majordomo. The royal adviser, if you will.

And you are, sir?

[trappedwithin]

You? An adviser? To what?

[Beast glares at Zazu, wondering if he might make a better snack than company.]

I am the Beast.

[gamey]

[So huffy!]

To the kings of the Pride Lands. Lions, that is.

[He ruffles his feathers slightly.]

That's a bit unfortunate.

[trappedwithin]

Never heard of them.

[Beast glares at Zazu, giving a low growl before replying.]

Yes. Very unfortunate.

[gamey]

[Just don't eat him, and they're all good.]

You've never heard of lions?

[trappedwithin]

[Seriously, Zazu?]

I have heard of lions. I haven't heard of the Pride Lands.

[gamey]

[Srsly!]

It's the place in Africa the lions rule. Beautiful grasslands surrounded by a desert.

[trappedwithin]

Fascinating.

[Mouth says one thing - face says another]

[gamey]

[Why so ornery, big guy?]

Aaand...does your mun have a place for you in mind, Beast?

[trappedwithin]

[You try being stuck like this for ten years and see how charming you are.]

She doesn't know. I've been in her... headspace for a long time but she only pulled me out now on a whim.

[gamey]

[You're a far cry from a hyena!]

Ahhhh, whims. It does seem to be a running theme with them. I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for a whim!

It hasn't been all that bad, though, in retrospect.

[trappedwithin]

[Also a lot bigger than a hyena...]

I prefer to be left alone.

[Preferably where no one can see him]

[gamey]

[But not quite as ugly.]

Well, if she's had you in there for some time, you haven't quite been left alone, have you?

[trappedwithin]

[That's open for debate in his opinion]

I'll be more specific - she has left me alone. I've never been dragged out into public before.

[gamey]

[Nope, Zazu wouldn't hear it.]

Ah. So she has none others she "plays" in such places? And if she does, they've always left you alone?

[trappedwithin]

She has plenty in her head. However, I do not seek them out and they pay me the same respect.
