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.

KIRBY LAUGHS IN THE FACE OF DANGER.

[chubbycreampuff]

Kirby had been walking towards the stairs when he heard a clicking sound from the entrance. He turned towards it, big blue eyes blinking curiously at the animal that had entered.

After looking at him for a few seconds, he would amble slowly towards him, wanting to make sure that he appeared as friendly and nonthreatening as possible. He didn't want to scare him or make him think that he was bad!

"Poyo?" he asked the creature curiously, still standing a few steps away from him, admittedly a bit enthralled.

Luna might yawn in the face of danger.

And curled up on the couch is a drowsy pony. Those ears twitch at the sound of claws on the floor, but it takes a few seconds before she deigns to lift her head to investigate the noise.

Blink. A lion.

...

"Greetings."

Amaterasu comes back from a stroll and into the castle; after checking everything is just fine outside she's decided to go back to the roof and keep her watch. And for that she needs to use the stairs... Actually the elevator sounds better right now.

She doesn't quite make it there though, as a lion is on the way...

Holy bones, that was a big kitten! But it's not a tiger either. She approaches, and barks a:

"Hey there, are you new?"

Allen had been asked to care for Natsu, the little lion, while Tsuna was away. It was not an easy task, but over time he was getting more and more used to the job. It was easy to imagine Natsu was an extra furry cat, and now he's managed to allow Natsu to follow behind him without his blood pressure spiking every time he heard the click of claws on tile.

However when he turns a corner (with Natsu trailing behind), and sees a fully grown lion in the middle of the lobby? All that exposure therapy via the lion cubs go out the window and he proceeds to turn white as a ghost, lets out a little scream and quickly hides behind said corner.

Cole is sitting on one of the sofas, reading a book, when the clicking noise distracts him. He looks up and over the rim of the book...

... Yep. That's a lion.

"Well, this is new."

Having spent the entirety of his life in Los Angeles, Phoenix has never seen a lion outside of a zoo. As peculiar as such a sight is to him even now, he still doesn't quite register the scene as he strolls past, on his way outside.

As a matter of fact, he's through the doors and a couple of steps down before he processes what he's just seen and comes hurrying back inside.

"Holy--a lion!!"

There is a clicking of another sort across the lobby - the click of knitting needles, instead of claws. Rose looks up from the beginnings of her mittens once, then twice, keeping an eye on the newcomer. Finally, after several long moments, she lowers her work.

"My apologies if this is rude, but I'm merely curious. Are you one of the animals who can talk?"

She doesn't know whether to expect an answer or not. Perhaps he isn't like those strange, colored horses.

...because COME ON it's a lion and hunting and stuff!

Katniss was walking down the stairs, a piece of paper and a pencil in hand. She was making a very rough map of the castle itself, so she could get around more easily. Her quiver was slung across her back, and her bow on her shoulder, as she walked into the lobby ...

And stopped.

The pencil and paper dropped from her hand as she stepped back, instincts kicking in as she pulled her bow to her hand, an arrow with the other, grey eyes going wide then narrowing.

She grit her teeth together briefly, "Now what kind of mutt are you?"

Kanaya has just come back from her work in the castle gardens, replacing her chainsaw into its lipstick container, when she spots the lion in the lobby. In her shock, she drops her tube of lipstick.

"What are you doing in here?" she asks softly, knowing fully well she won't get a response. After all, roarbeasts don't talk. She slowly reaches down to retrieve her lipstick, hoping not to provoke the animal.

She won't put the lipstick tube back into her pocket, though, in case she needs it.

Well, this is new. Having been here almost a year and a half, Galadriel has seen many strange sights come wandering through the lobby. Something she hasn't seen before, however, is a full grown lion casually strolling by.

It's not fear that guides her movements, but caution. Elves have always had an affinity for all manner of beasts and Galadriel is no exception. She can read his body language well enough to know she's in no immediate danger, but she's also not going to push her luck with a wild animal. So, she slows her movements, taking care not to startle the creature.
