[marryapanther]

Where: Animal Kingdom, mostly
When: Thursday/Friday
Warnings: none at the moment!



[Bagheera had spent approximately 10 minutes in his "apartment" before abandoning it. Sure, it was nice looking, and probably made good shelter, but it was obscenely claustrophobic for him. He needed fresh air, the grass and trees- not a cramped little cave made by man. Bagheera never even liked going into the wolves' dens- this was just unbearable.

So instead, Bagheera had dedicated the last few days to exploring the trees in the area, trying to find where he'll set up his new territory. He'd spent the first couple nights in trees outside of Vista Way, in the park, outside the greenhouse... all over the place.

Bagheera tends to wake up right around the time dawn breaks. If you happen to be an early riser, you might just get a very sleepy leopard leaping down to the ground from the trees over your head. Don't worry, he missed.

On Thursday afternoon, Bagheera heads over to the Animal Kingdom. His first shift as... "security" starts tomorrow, and he wants to scope out the area. Truthfully, he's also pretty hopeful that he'll get to talk with other animals, here. After all, it is called "Animal Kingdom".

Keep your eyes peeled, and you'll find Bagheera either exploring the Safari or peering into one of the enclosures, deep in conversation:]

Really now? And you put up with this? But why?

[Later, Bagheera can be found wearing... a very ill fitting uniform, that was definitely not made for wild cats in mind. He's also got a shiny little badge! How long did it take Bagheera to get that thing on? Don't worry about it. He's here now, and he's a little surly.

He's patrolling around the Kingdom and he's got his eyes peeled and his ears sharp for anything suspicious in the slightest.So don't, like, break the law or anything, I guess. Unless you really want to.

If you happen to be a law-abiding citizen, he may approach you anyway.]

Excuse me- have you seen anything suspicious around here? Anything at all?

[Della still hasn't actually finished training for her job. Not completely, at least. She's gotten good enough at the whole driving part, sure, but talking while driving is a lot more difficult. During actual rides she's supposedly going to be paired up with someone, to let one person drive and the other talk and all that. But luckily, she's still got today so can get some practice in doing both simultaneously-- no need to worry about disappointing the guests if there's not any guests around to disappoint. It's early enough today before the park opens that there's only a couple other new employees driving around for practice, too, so that's an added bonus.

All in all, it's pretty boring as far as practice goes-- for the most part, that is. At one point along the track as she's spieling to herself, she can't help but notice the (very obvious) panther in the middle of a bunch of lions.

There's. Definitely not supposed to be any panthers on the Safaris, is there? She doesn't think so.

Slowing the truck to a careful stop, she quickly radios any other workers, mostly for the sake of anyone who happens to be driving around this morning as well, just to give herself some distance from them (and some time to check things out)--]

Uh... animal on the road...? Going to be stuck here for a while. Sorry!

[--and then she leans forward out of one of the windows, squinting and hazarding a guess as she calls over towards the large cats.]

Bagheera?

law-abiding citizen

[itsthecount]

Oh, yes. There is a terrible man running around in an eyepatch in a green suit. His name is Sheldon. Horrible, really. He must have been orphaned.

Big Crimes

[dothebackslide]

[A man in hood and a trenchcoat is absolutely walking out of a store with dozens of t-shirts that he didn't pay for.

Its fine tho.]

oh crimes?

[andbegone]

[Something Bagheera is likely to see as he patrols the Animal Kingdom today:

Sheldon, with his arms full of half-melted Dole Whips (clearly stolen from the Magic Kingdom, though who knows how he snuck them onto the monorails), attempting to find the nearest animal enclosure to throw them into.

It's fine though.]
