The Story:

[Sleeping on Your Bed]

[Simba was told, when he first arrived, that he could find a room here and turn it into whatever he wanted.

And either he's somewhat disregarded that advice, or just doesn't understand which rooms belong to which person. It didn't really make any sense to him why one person would sleep in one room anyway. That seemed so lonely.

Or at least it was lonely to the lion cub who's never slept alone before. The few times he's done it, he's hated it.

So instead of finding his own room, he's napping in whatever room is currently unoccupied. Climbing into people's beds and flopping on his back, or climbing under their sheets. For those who come back to their rooms... there's a lion, or at least a lion-shaped lump under your sheets.

And the rooms don't necessarily have to be unoccupied. If it's late at night and you find yourself sleeping, you might wake up to a warm lump of fur right next to your legs.]

[Getting into your stuff]

[Of course, what was the fun of just napping in someone else's room and leaving? There was so much to explore and bat around in each room...

Anyone walking in might find a lion cub playing - or attempting to take off with their socks. Or batting whatever they have laying around across the floor. Or maybe he's just staring intently at the mirror in your room.

[Kokichi must have hit the jackpot as far as rooms go. Yes, it has elements of his old dorm room, like the bed and desk, but he seems to have a little more space since the room itself looks like an underground lair from a James Bond movie. There's a giant tv screen in the wall with a dvd/blu ray player hooked up to it, a multi-screen computer, a nice bed that looks like a spy car, lots of shelves to put things on (like cardboard boxes full of notes and weird drawings?), and even a dry erase board!]

[Oh, yeah. And he also has an obligatory magic closet and a mirror, but the mirror is covered up with a black sheet and it looks like he's working on some sort of Doppelganger trap.]

[What shall Simba do before Kokichi gets back?]

[Mikan is returning to her room after another long shift at the clinic, she sure could use some shut-eye. She heads right for the bed and...

...

...

She kneels down, wishing she had a camera on her.]

Cuuuute...

[Papyrus is still feeling kind of...weird for the past week or so. There are a few things that can cheer Papyrus up: puzzles, cooking, training...but today is a good day to curl up with a book.

After returning from the library with a bundle of children's books in his arms, he notices a lump on his bed. ...ah! That must be Sans's cat, 4! He must be taking a catnap! He sits down on the bed and gently prods the lump.]

HELLO, 4!! TAKING A NAP, I SEE-

[He lifts up the sheet and wait that's not 4. That is a lion cub.]

...YOU'RE NOT 4????

[Simba groggily wakes up, slowly lifts his head at Papyrus with a look of "why did you just take my blanket". Sure, he may have only ever slept on rocks before, but that doesn't mean he's quickly getting used to the idea of beds and blankets.]

Mmnn... huh?

[Simba doesn't seem to register talking skeleton yet - at least, not enough to be weirded out yet.]

Great... now I'm dreaming about talking skeletons.

[Yep. Still hasn't realized.]

[Naturally, when Ryou returns to his room, there were cards. everywhere. And not even just playing cards, or Duel Monsters cards, lord forbid.

Nope, these are tarot cards, and Simba's made a right mess of them all over the place. Furthermore, there's the aforementioned socks being chewed, dragged, or pretty much anything else a small lion cub could do with them.

..But of course, Ryou takes everything as it comes, so he doesn't angrily cry out. Instead, he calls in exasperation:]

Oh..!! Goodness, what a mess...would you mind not doing that, you could damage something...

[Luckily, Simba's kept far and away from the nondescript journal near Ryou's bed. That would, quite possibly, be the only thing the teen might get loud about.]

[He has been making a mess. What's the use of all these cool stuff being kept away and - ugh - organized??

Simba doesn't know what the cards are for, but he's somehow managed to knock them off and scatter them. The voice calling out to him gets a small jump out of him, and when he turns around... there's a pair of socks on his mouth.

His tail swishes, and he lowers himself to the ground. It doesn't look like he plans to give the socks back that easily. At least, not until someone plays with him first.]

[The voice seems to stir him a little, but not enough to wake him up. His paws and ears twitch and he mumbles in his sleep.]

Pumbaa... you're takin' up all the room...

[There's plenty to look at and explore here, and Simba wastes no time getting into what he can. The first thing Simba does is check out the spy car bed, climbing up on top of it and then bouncing and rolling around on it before he rolls himself right off.

These beds are so soft and bouncy, he thinks he might never want to sleep on hard ground ever again.

And of course where there's drawers, Simba's going to try to pull them open and see what's inside.]

(Legion's room is probably the weirdest of the bunch. It has the obligatory mirror and closet, but is missing such things as windows, dressers, beds. Instead, it resembles the inside of a Geth ship all sleek and dark and glowy, with cords and other machiney things abound. There's a terminal, a table strewn with various bits of machinery, a rack for their cool and futuristic guns, some boxes of medigel and other supplies, and a perhaps surprisingly recognizeable couch sitting in front of a wall mounted tv monitor.

They're not in right now, so feel free to explore!)

[Oh, the little thing is still half asleep. He still doesn't realize that he's in the presence of greatness!]

NO, YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT DREAMING!! YOU'RE IN MY ROOM RIGHT NOW!!!

[It's a bit difficult, but Simba manages to pull open the underwear drawer. For a boy who seems to like white clothing, his taste in boxers is quite colorful.]

[Meanwhile, Kokichi was walking down the hall when he noticed his door was left ajar. Weird, he thought he locked it? He's gonna investigate...]

Huh?! I am?!

[mikan you are not pumbaa.]

Well, come on now...

[Ryou seems even more distressed...but somehow, seeing Simba like this, behaving like the child he is, he can't be mad.

He even steps closer, as if to taunt the lion cub into action. He can pick up the cards later; it's only a mild inconvenience to him, he hadn't been doing any readings.]

[Crowley doesn't use the bed that often, not needing to sleep and all that, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't occasionally want to use it. Sleeping is a good way to pass the time and an even better way to avoid thinking about things that are playing on his mind, but--]

--What the bloody Somewhere are you doing here?

[Look, he's a demon, he's not about to be afraid of some little lion cub, but that doesn't mean he doesn't jump back in the doorway with every metaphorical hackle bristling right up.]

I didn't agree to turn my rooms into a zoo.

[If Ryou seemed too distressed, Simba would be more tempted to let go. He's not malacious, he just wants to have a little bit of fun.

Which Ryou seems willing to humor him though. Simba lowers himself to the ground, wiggling a bit as if preparing to leap-

-and then makes a dash, attempting to bolt between Ryou's legs and make off with his newfound toy. Ryou has one chance to grab Simba and stop him before he escapes.]

Oh... sorry, didn't know it was your room.

[And Simba seems like he's just gonna drift right back off, despite his apology.]

[And then he springs back up.]

WHOA, what-! You're a talking skeleton!!

[Hooray, he finally figured it out!]

[ Mondo's already more than used to having his pupper on his side when sleeping so the warmth by his leg wasn't something surprising to him. It still jolts him awake from the ticklish sensation, though. ]

Nngh-- Komo...?

[ His heavy eyes flutter open, head turning groggily left, then right. Hm. Komodo the beagle is right by his side. Komodo's... not that long.

...

What's that on his leg, then?

Swiftly, but carefully, Mondo slips out of the bed to turn on the lights. Sorry Komo, he doesn't want to bother your beauty sleep, but this has to be done. Now... it's time to lift up the duve-- huh?! ]

Huuuh?!

[Hooray!!!]

YES, I AM!!! AND YOU'RE A TALKING LION!!! WOWIE!!!

[This conversation is really going places!]

[This should be kind of scary. In a way it kind of is - it's like something from the Elephant Graveyard suddenly decided to come to life. On the other hand...]

That's so cool!! I've seen skeletons before, but none of them ever talked! Or moved!

[Ahhhh, a young lion telling him that he is cool!! A dream come true! He strikes a pose for the little lion!]

NYEH HEH HEH!!! YES, US MONSTERS ARE VERY COOL, AND I AM ONE OF THE COOLEST MONSTERS AROUND!!!

LITTLE LION, WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM ANYWAY???

[Pointedly avoiding the other mess, Ryou grabs at Simba, attempting to halt his progress. All he manages to snag is the cub's rear leg, though he appears alarmed to have done so and instantly releases it because oh no what if he hurt him? That's not what he wanted to do...!!]

Oh! Sorry, are you alright?

[It doesn't hurt him, but it does surprise him enough to let go of the sock.]

Ah-!

[He drops the sock, while leaping away. He turns back, but instead of grabbing the sock again...]

Okay, okay, You win that one.

Monster...? Aren't you a skeleton? I mean, you look like one.

[Papyrus is the first actual monster Simba's met. He doesn't know there's more.]

I didn't know this was your room, I was just looking for a place to sleep.

I'M BOTH, ACTUALLY!!! I'M A MONSTER AND A SKELETON! MONSTERS COME IN ALL DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES, YOU KNOW.

[He puts down the books he's carrying on to the bed and takes a seat himself next to Simba.]

OHHHH, I SEE!! WELL THEN, I CERTAINLY DON'T MIND YOU SLEEPING ON MY BED!! BUT...MAYBE ASK FIRST BEFORE DECIDING TO SLEEP ON MY BED NEXT TIME??? I MISTOOK YOU FOR ANOTHER CAT!!!

[The loud voice stirs him awake - but doesn't quite get Simba to move. Instead he lifts his head at Mondo with a sleepy expression.]

Mmmnn... what's going on...?

[He's not seeing a problem here.]

[ His jaw opens and close, like he's about to say something and decides against it, over and over. ]

...Y-You're--

[ A... lion cub, huh. Now that the bleariness is shaken off, he's churning the situation a little better. Talking animal isn't something new for him, he shouldn't be so surprised anymore. ]

...How did you get in here? Are you lost?

[ Heck, it's cute. Mondo won't mind keeping it if it could get along with Komo. ]

I had no idea... I’ve never met a monster before. I thought they’d be scary, instead of cool.

[Simba gives a sheepish grin.]

Oh... uh, heheh. Sorry. I’ll ask next time. I can find somewhere else to sleep, if you wanna sleep here.

OH!! DON’T YOU WORRY YOUR LITTLE LION HEAD ABOUT IT! LOTS OF CHILDREN’S STORIES DEPICT MONSTERS AS SCARY BEINGS, BUT THAT SIMPLY ISN’T TRUE! WE’RE ALL NICE, I PROMISE!!!

[He then shakes his head.]

I’M NOT PLANNING ON GOING TO SLEEP ANY TIME SOON. TO BE HONEST, I DON’T REALLY NEED TO SLEEP AT ALL!! SO, FEEL FREE TO USE THIS BED ANY TIME YOU WANT!!! I DON’T MIND AT ALL!!!

[Well, at the very least Ryou seems relieved that he didn't actually hurt Simba. But...there's still the issue of his scattered tarot deck to attend to, so he begins to gather the cards, giving the young lion some distance.]

I'm just glad I wasn't too rough. You're, ah. You're quite small.

But more to the point, why are you here? Not that I mind a visitor from time to time, but it's polite to ask first and arrange a meeting. Or at least, that's the usual etiquette.

[He is explaining etiquette to a lion. Yep.]
