Moja [1] -- Dictated

[circleoflife]

[This new voice on the journal rumbles slightly, holding an undertone of power to it. It is deep and carries some authority to it, but is wholly warm, relaxed, and familiar.]

Greetings. I am Mufasa, the king of the Pridelands. Though, as I understand it, my position holds little value here.

I suppose it will suffice an interesting conversational topic.

[A brief pause to let the light humor settle in.]

It is my pleasure to make an acquaintance with all of you.

I hope you'll forgive me for my ignorance; my home is quite a bit different from this one. It seems as though I have much to learn here.

If any of you have the time, I would enjoy hearing about your homeland.

[Oh, were you expecting him to say something about his being a lion? No way, man. That info is prime trolling material. Besides, everyone will learn sooner or later... and there's no rush.]

Dictation forever?

[cyan_maid]

[Since the expedition crew is still on the road to Paradisa with nothing to do, Jane figures that a discussion with someone new would liven things up.]

Well hello there, Mr. Mufasa - er, is it alright to call you that, what with you being a king and all?

Anyway, it is nice to make your acquaintance! My name is Jane.

And ever!

[circleoflife]

It is quite alright. There is no need for any formalities, unless you are more comfortable using them.

The pleasure is all mine, Jane. Tell me-- how do you find Paradisa?

[cyan_maid]

I would prefer to use them, if that's alright. I find them polite.

How do I find Paradisa? Hm...

It's certainly like no other place I've ever been to. Then again, I doubt many people can say they've been to a magic castle!

[loves_osaka]

Mufasa? Guess you were named accordingly then.

Anyway, I'm Heiji Hattori-one o' th' resident detectives.

[circleoflife]

[A light, amused sound.] Perhaps so.

[Well, that's a bit of a mouthful. What are last names?] Heiji Hattori; it is my pleasure.

A detective, hm?

[loves_osaka]

Just Hattori or Heiji is fine.

Yeah, so if ya see anythin' suspicious don't hesitate t' let me know. I'd rather not have any murders t' investigate.

Dictated <3 yay, Mufasa!

[yay_heiress]

Ooh! A king?

So, what are the Pridelands like this time of year?

Forever! ♥

[circleoflife]

That's correct.

The Pridelands are usually fairly dry during this time. None-the-less, the evenings are quite pleasant.

May I ask where you hail from?

♥

[yay_heiress]

Hm. Sounds like LA.

I hail from wherever I'm standing, usually.

[kalinda]

[Has anyone said this? Because she's going to say it.]

That's some voice you have there.

[circleoflife]

Why, thank you. I've had quite a bit of practice.

[kalinda]

[You'll receive a chuckle.]

A seasoned expert. You can tell.

[molotov]

[There's a snort.] Homeland. Mine was nice while it lasted.

[circleoflife]

My condolences. What was it like?

[molotov]

Cold, mostly. And poor, towards the end. But mine.

[foolreversed]

Pride... lands?

[circleoflife]

[Kindly:] That is what I said.

[amiable]

More royalty?

It's... um, nice to meet you, too!

forever~~

[circleoflife]

Yes, I have heard mention that there were others of a high status, here. [Met two of them, too.]

It is my pleasure, young one. Would you be so kind as to indulge me with your name?

dictated;

[siebter]

Wow, you're a king? That's so cool!

forever~!

[circleoflife]

[A chuckle.] The position has its merits.

action; she's currently on a loss as a direwolf and cant talk ;;

[songsandstories]

[A wolf did not trust a lion, but he was no Lannister, so Sansa as Lady is wary. She hadn't heard him speak, and half wonders if the lion was once a man like herself.

Instead of greeting it, she just watches the lion, stilling from walking across.]

action forever! and that's fine ♥ it's up to you whether you'd like her to be able to communicate!

[circleoflife]

[And he turns his head, looking back at the wolf. He was still a bit wary of canines, but since he had arrived, calmed, and met Amaterasu, he's willing to treat the other with the same friendliness that he extends to everyone. She did not seem openly hostile, after all. If anything, perhaps a bit wary.]

Good evening.

[cricketycricket]

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, as well, Your Highness. Welcome to Paradisa: I'm the Doctor. Any questions in particular I might be able to answer for you?

///////forever

[circleoflife]

I thank you for the welcome. As for questions? My, I might have you here all day.

Though, there is one thing I have noticed. The forests here are quiet. There even seems to be a lack of insect life. Do you know why this is?
