The 1st Roar | Accidental Video / Action for New Bark Town

[usedroar]

[It wasn't that his PokéGear was looking particularly tasty that afternoon, nor was it giving off any significantly threatening sort of air...

[No, twas curiosity that caused the cat to chomp down on his hard metal device, succeeding only in unintentionally beginning a broadcast and scaring the absolute piss out of himself.]

What the--!

[Yup. That shiny rock you just bit sure did just make a sound, and now that you've pulled it far away enough from your face to see what's going on on its screen, you...

[...yelp like a little cub and chuck it across the way!

[Goooood going.]

[divinewind]

I am right now, but I am not one usually. Before I came here, I was a dragon.

[He tilts his head, looking intrigued.]

Are there no humans at all in the Pridelands? What were you?

[usedroar]

Not that I know of...

I mean, there were monkeys, baboons, chimpanzees...things like humans, but...

[He frowns, staring down at his new hands, legs...]

Nothing like this.

[Glancing back at the Gear.]

And no dragons, either...

[At least, he doesn't think so...He doesn't even know what those are.]

I'm a lion.

[Note the explicit use of present tense.]

[divinewind]

Oh! I have heard of lions, but I have never seen one.

And it is difficult to get used to being a human, but it is not...all bad, I suppose. Hands are very useful, once you get the hang of them. But walking on two legs is not so easy.

[He shakes his head.] I still do not see why we should all need to be turned into humans.

[usedroar]

We don't need to be.

I don't need to be.

[He doesn't need to be a human, he doesn't need to be here...

[He remembers this with a frustrated growl.]

What I need is to get home.

[divinewind]

I need to get home as well, very badly, but growling and shouting will not get you there any faster.

I have been told by several people that when we do return, it will be to the same time that we left from. As impossible as it sounds, it is the best hope we have here.

[usedroar]

[It's a bit embarrassing, being called out on his, admittedly unnecessary, behavior. So he tries to calm down a bit before speaking again, settling on a weak glare and faint snarl rather than a growl.]

It is impossible...

How could they know that, anyway?

It doesn't make any sense...
