Open! IF YOU DARE

[circleoflife]

Who: Mufasa and you!
What: A big ol' lion arrives at Paradisa.
When: how about now
Where: Castle lobby
Rating: PG? depends on who comes in

A clicking sound can be heard from the entrance as Mufasa's pawpads come in contact with the cool, solid ground, the relative loudness of the clicking being evidence to his great size. For a wild animal, his coat and mane are well-kept, and even though he's in a completely foreign area-- maybe even especially so-- he keeps his head held high. Though he has a guarded look to him, nothing in his body language indicates hostility. He stops once he's a few strides inside, looking around for any sign of life.

Hungry? Well, if nothing else, she was quite hospitable. Mufasa could appreciate that much.

"I'm afraid I've no time for eating; I must return home as quickly as possible."

"About that..." How to bring it up? "We are trapped in here... Can't really leave unless the Castle decides that."

[circleoflife]

Trapped? That definitely wasn't a pleasant word to hear.

"Is Castle the king of these lands?"

[mom_to_us_all]

"You could say so... Now that I think about it, but not quite." She paws the floor underneath. "The Castle, it is this place. The building has a strong magic that does whatever it wants, in a nutshell."

"I am afraid I am unfamiliar with some of the words that you use," Mufasa replies. "But from what I do understand, you say that there is not a physical being responsible for our arrival, but rather, this area has somehow pulled us here?"

[mom_to_us_all]

"Exactly!" At last! Some progress.

"I couldn't have said it better! But hey! Don't worry, it's not such a bad place to spend some time in. Despite the losses and... weird stuff that happens from time to time." There goes the silver lining, out of the window...

"I'm Amaterasu by the way, nice to meet you, even if the circumstances aren't the greatest."

"A pleasure meeting you as well, Amaterasu," Mufasa replies, allowing a little smile. She'd earned it, after all.

"The circumstances are indeed unusual. Forgive me if I am hard pressed to believe that I truly cannot return to my pride."

[mom_to_us_all]

"The pleasure is all mine! And I really wish I was lying, but I've been here for about six months without being able to return home. There are people that has been for some years, they might be able to tell you their experiences."

Ammy tilts her head a little. "By your pride, you mean your family?"

[circleoflife]

Years? That was quite troubling indeed. The magic-- whatever kind it was-- must have been extremely powerful. Then again, when was it known not to be? Even so...

"I'll be sure to ask them, then," he replies. Given, of course, that they were willing to talk. Being trapped in one place for years might be something of a sore spot.

"And that is correct," Mufasa replied. Even if he wasn't directly related to every member in his pride, unsurprsingly, he considered every one of them family none-the-less.
