Sarabi? Simba? [A deep, powerful voice resonates over the network.] I am no longer in the Pridelands.

[There is a moment of silence as the speaker observes his new surroundings.]

Everything is different. [Briefly, his voice softens.] Where am I? [There is the sound of claws grazing dirt.]

My name is Mufasa. [He growls quietly,

[Well, a while back he did first learn about people--or any sentient lifeform for that matter--disappearing, then reappearing for reasons unknown.

Jake's thought processes are in motion. Mufasa had been to this place before, for about a day. Even though some time as passed, Mufasa here seems to have no memory of that...

Welcome to Paixao. No matter what Marco thinks, Jake still has some doubt that the Ellimist is involved with everything that's going on within this unorthodox nexus of a city.

Of course, Jake keeps all that to himself. What's an Ellimist, Mufasa? Um, well, that's a really complicated and long story... No. That's not happening.]

[Oh Jake can imagine how much would go whoosh over him. The tiger instincts he's used to when changing forms would be just as confused and alert.]

I hear the only way out is to go to the top floor. This city is but a part of this massive structure called a castle.

With each arrival, I think some kind of replica of their worlds appear. Some friends and I haven't actually been to ours yet, but we've been to someone else's.

Unpredictable stuff happens in this city too, so be careful.

[Instinct and experience in the wild can only prepare an animal so much - even if they are as bright as Mufasa.]

If the exit exists, where does it lead? [Into nothingness? Back home? To another world? Anything is possible.]

There is a replica of Pride Rock...or so I'm told.

I will.
