Moja [1] -- Dictated

[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.]

Well, I guess it's better than Land of the Rising Sun.

[circleoflife]

Oh? And would that be your land?

[foolreversed]

One of the names people call it, yeah.

[circleoflife]

And what else is it known as?

[foolreversed]

Nippon, Nihon... but the rest of the world knows it as Japan.

[circleoflife]

Hmm. If I may be so bold, may I ask what it is like there?

[foolreversed]

To be truthfully honest? It basically sucks.

[circleoflife]

[An amused chuckle.] My, that bad?

[foolreversed]

Yeah.

I wouldn't go back.

[circleoflife]

At least you are satisfied with here?

[foolreversed]

...To be honest? Most days, not really. But it's still way better than back there, so there's that at least.

[circleoflife]

Hmm. Are these lands truly so terrible?

[foolreversed]

They can be irritating to say the least.

[circleoflife]

Well, it'd be far too easy for us if they weren't, now wouldn't it?
