[It's not often that the entire Pride Lands can come together for a single purpose, but this is certainly one such occasion. It's been one year now since Prince Simba was born, and the entire Kingdom has turned out to honor him, and his father Mufasa. Everyone from the giraffes and elephants to the rhinos and hippos to the storks and hornbills to even the anteaters and warthogs has turned up, not to mention the rare appearance of Scar's entire pride of lionesses - who rarely venture into the Pride Lands at all. Even Scar himself is up there on Pride Rock with his mate and his own cubs, a truly extraordinary sight indeed. The younger King often preferred to remain on the outskirts with his lionesses, or would keep to himself, out of sight, in the back of Pride Rock.

Perhaps most incredible of all, though, is that lions of other prides, and even leopards and cheetahs - big cats nearly never welcome in the territory of lions, are all present, and gladly so. When King Mufasa calls for every animal in the Kingdom, none are left out.

Of course, this means the area around Pride Rock is starting to get preeeetty crowded...]

[Really, it isn't so very uncommon to see Scar skulking about the Pride Lands, slowly meandering along and taking only a few moments every now and then to make himself aware of the goings-on around him. He's never been half so hands-on with his subjects as his brother, and never had much care to do so, either. They might rule the lands together, but Mufasa has always done most of the work - exactly how Scar likes it to be.

Today, Scar has decided that he's going to "check up" on the many residents of his kingdom, though far be it from him to ever actually interfere in any sort of dispute. That was Mufasa's to deal with. Scar's proud form would simply continue right on past any sort of fighting or matters of the "common folk" in favor of, well, whatever it is that's on his mind at the time. Why should he be concerned about their problems? His job is to rule them, not to solve their petty problems.

He could be found just about anywhere in the Pride Lands today, paying heed only to that which either intrigues him or irritates him, or wanders too close to his path.]

[Midday is fast approaching, and Kiara has been hanging around Pride Rock for nearly the entire afternoon. Being that it's been a particularly slow day, she's really growing tired of sitting still; Therefore, she decides to get up and do something...maybe head out to the watering hole for a drink? Some of the other lionesses are out on a hunt, so the chances of anyone missing her while she's away are slimmer than usual.

After she drinks her fill, she freezes suddenly, slowly raising her muzzle out of the water as not to agitate it further. When the ripples finally settle, she spots the silhouette of a small rabbit in the reflection at the water's edge.]

Ahhh hello there...

[She whispers, snickering softly to herself- a devious plan immediately beginning to form in her mind. She, of all lionesses, is certainly not one to pass up the opportunity for a little fun!

She slowly steps backward, carefully hiding herself behind some nearby brush. When the time is just right, she launches herself through the air, reaching out toward the poor creature...leaping and bounding in an attempt to catch up when it bolts.]

Get back here you! [She laughs between strides, running as fast as she can tear... when suddenly...

"CRAAACK."

And head over heels she goes...rolling, tumbling, and finally colliding head first with a rotten log near the opposite end of the watering hole.]

Ouch...geez..

[She chuckles, but stops short. All she can see upon opening her eyes is darkness. She struggles for a moment, then realizes-

She's stuck... Her head is..oh dear. This is just lovely.]

GREAT. Just...

[She sighs, hoping that somehow, she'll find a way out of this before someone else comes along.]

HA! Told ya I'm faster than you, Simba!

[Kovu tears on ahead, outpacing the young Prince.]

Whoa!!

[He's forced to stop when he comes up to a river, and backpedals a bit to keep from falling in. It's not a really wide river, but it's probably to deep to run through - they always are.]

[After stealthily -or so she believes- dodging her father and the rest of the pride's watchful gazes, she bounds off- straight towards one of her and Kovu's usual meeting spots. The last thing that she wants is for her father to send Timon and Pumbaa out after her...yet again. Or worse- Zazu. She chuckles to herself at the thought of it. She loves her father dearly, but he's far too protective most of the time. She's not a cub anymore! She can handle herself just fine.

After a quick stop at the watering hole, she makes her way...searching through the heavy brush for any sign of Kovu. Maybe this time she'll actually spot him before he spots her.]

[Man, what a day. Kovu can't remember the last time he had such a great time, and got to feel so relaxed. Of course...now he has to sneak back home, without Simba, Mufasa, Scar, or Zira seeing him.

He stays low to the ground, skirting around the back of the pride. With any luck, no one would even notice he was gone...]

Okay, I figure a lot of us are using our journals in other places, and don't really want to put our AU animal appearances on there, so here's a place we can all just post to help remember what they are.

If you think you'll have an easy time forgetting what you came up with, reply with your character's journal, with their name in the subject line, and a description of their AU appearance in the comment (this is for you, so only put as much detail as you need). If the post gets too long I'll come up with some way to help organize things so we can find everything

[It's a beauuutiful morning in the Pridelands.

As everything slowly awakens to a new day, there's a rustle from the bushes and a lithe canine figure emerges out into the open.

He's a young Wild Dog, although he's not a yearling anymore, either just about to hit, or having just hit his prime, with a beautiful coat covered in an assortment of spots, blotches, and splatters in black, tan, and white.

He glances around as he exits the brush, large ears rotating backwards, forwards, and back again. Then he stretches deeply, fore-paws out and then the back legs one at a time before giving himself an all over shake.

That done, he takes one more glance back at the brush behind him and then sets off with an easy strut into the grasses.

(( OOC: He's just going to be sniffing around the grassland, while still keeping in sight of the pack's den, so go wild. Hahaha. ))

When the evening hunt was finally over, Zira couldn't escape the other lionesses fast enough. Everything they did was sloppy! And they never listened to her suggestions on how to operate better. It.. frustrated Zira to no end! Why didn't they listen? Yes, some of her methods were harsh and dangerous, but they would bring down more food for the pride her way!

Zira growled as she turned a corner, slipping further away from the other gossiping lionesses and began making her way towards the one lion she knew would at least let her rant. There were times she wondered why she tolerated being apart of this pride. But, then she would catch sight of a certain dark lion and relax a little and even let her self smirk slightly.

Right. Him.

Now lets see if his day had been any better.

[A certain Hornbill can be seen slowly flying over the land, his eyes wandering. It's unsure if he's looking for someone, or just keeping watch over things, but he seems to be extra huffy this morning.]

...Now where is everybody? Normally the giraffe would be out at the water-hole at this time of day...and there isn't even a meerkat to be spoken of.

An empty Savannah is unheard of, so where the devil is everyone?

[He circles around one more time before landing on a rock, sighing heavily before folding his wings at his sides.]

Surely something wouldn't be going on without me knowing about it, would it?
