School grounds [afternoon]

[sith_happened]

Mufasa had enjoyed his time at the brunch--even if the free range caramels had gotten stuck in his teeth--but now it was time for more difficult prey.

He crouched behind a bush, tail swishing, and waited for a gremlin to arrive.

It was part of the Circle of Life, after all.

[OOC: Locked to the gremlin, then free for all...]

Oh, look! A gremlin making a rare above ground dash from the school to the dorms! How fortuitous!

[sith_happened]

Mufasa pounced.

Mwahaha! Victory would be his!

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

The gremlin was already jumpy from being out in the open during the day so it didn't take long for it to notice the big cat with the long teeth and the sharp claws coming for it. With a squeak of terror, it tried to dive out of the lion's way.

[sith_happened]

Mufasa was too fast for that. He caught the gremlin between his two front paws, then smiled down at it. "Hello."

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

The gremlin squeaked again, shivering with fear. The, keeping its eyes on Mufasa, he turned his head to the side and bit one of his paws. Hard.

[sith_happened]

Mufasa let out a snarling yelp of pain and began licking his paw.

Then the world went black.

He woke up a few moments later, cleared his throat and intoned, "This...is CNN."

As soon as Mufasa let go, the gremlin took off as fast as he could without looking back.

Salem had spent all of Saturday planning world domination. Now all he needed were some minions...

[sith_happened]

James Earl Jones let out a warm chuckle.

"Hello, cat," he said, holding out his fingers.

Which was a paw.

He hadn't noticed that, no.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Salem took one look at the paw and decided he liked being in one piece. "Salem Saberhagen."

[sith_happened]

"Oh my heavens," James exclaimed. "You talk!"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Salem gave Darth Vader Muffassa James Earl Jones the lion a look that questioned his intelligence. "So do you."

[swerval_zero]

Zero had a camcorder, and she knew how to use it. "Excuse me! Excuse me, sir lion!" she called as she dashed across the lawn. Pity she couldn't have gotten to him before the gremlin...

[sith_happened]

"Of course I do," James replied haughtily. "It would be hard working as actor otherwise."

[sith_happened]

James ignored her. He knew he wasn't a lion. How ridiculous.

[swerval_zero]

"Mr. Lion, please, what is your relationship to the lion cub known as Simba?" Zero demanded, shoving the microphone at him.

Come to Fandom, we've got Lions

Weiss, still on the hunt for a solution to the Rita/Parker problem, stopped to gawk for a second.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, I think I've seen a couple of your movies. Nice job biting off that guys head." Salem backed up a few steps just in case he had to bolt.

[sith_happened]

James looked up from his script--which wasn't there--and waved his hand.

Which he didn't have. "Greetings, young man," he said. "Did you know there are talking cats in this place? How extraordinary!"

[sith_happened]

"Mr. Jones," James corrected. "Perhaps you've heard of me?" He cleared his throat. "This...is CNN."

[sith_happened]

James paused. He didn't remember that particular role...but it was never a good idea to insult a fan. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," he said amiably. "Would you care for an autograph?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Uh... yeah. Funny about that," Weiss said. He contemplating pointing out the whole talking lion thing, but that was a headache in and of itself. "It's Fandom."

[sith_happened]

James nodded like he had any idea what that meant. "Of course," he said. "Such things...often occur here?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"You can't throw a rock without hitting weird," Weiss said. Like a talking lion who didn't know he was a talking lion who sounded like his Ethics teacher.

OW.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Salem spent all of five seconds weighing the danger to his health over the possibility of getting a lot of money on E-bay. "Sure!"

[sith_happened]

"Do you often engage in rock tossing, Mister...?"

[sith_happened]

James scrawled his signature onto a spare piece of paper.

Being that he was actually a lion at the moment, he really scraped his claws over a leaf, shredding it.

"Here you go, strange talking cat," he said jovially, handing the pieces over.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Salem decided to cut his losses. "Thanks! I'll look you up next time I'm in Hollywood!"

[sith_happened]

James waved. "There's always room for another talking animal in Hollywood," he replied. "I suppose!"

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Eric Weiss. And, uh, only if I really want to hit weirdness," he said. WTF WTF WTF?

[sith_happened]

"I'm sure you can come up with a more productive use of your time," James said. "The theater, perhaps."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"You know, I've always said that to myself," Weiss said, needing to get out of this conversation before his brain imploded. "Thank you, Mr..."

[sith_happened]

"Jones," James supplied. "James Earl Jones."

[http://users.livejournal.com/weissguy_/]

"Riiiiight," Weiss said. "Well, I'm gonna go sign up for amateur theater classes now. Have a great day, Mr. Jones. This is CNN!"

And Weiss ran like hell.

[sith_happened]

James shook his head and chuckled to himself. "Teenagers."

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Waldo was climbing a distant tree to test its climbability.

[sith_happened]

James gave the man a puzzled look.

[swerval_zero]

"Squall," Zero said. "This is kind of pointless. Look, who d'you think you are, exactly?"

Irulan decided, of all things, it was a good day to stroll around the grounds
