When I look back, I don’t have regrets. In the moment I am really, really hard on myself, I’m definitely my own worst critic and can be my own worst enemy, and I’m trying very hard not to be that.

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

Let it Be - the Beatles, Let it Be.

And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Hi everyone, I'm afraid I have to quit for personal reasons, but I had a lot of fun while I was here and I really like the way this rp is structured, with the events, characters, and overall plot.

Maybe I'll come back someday.

Lonely Hearts and Ex-Zombies

Well, Zazu Tsippor was bored.

Ever since Hera had declared the apocalypse officially over, the whole town had, instead of gradually reverting to normalcy, become even more insane.

Ex-Zombies raced around the streets as if to test their new-found abilities to die, people hugged others randomly, the bars were giving out free drinks, and Mufasa had given her a day off, something that had not happened in all the time she had ferried messages, carried too-full coffee cups, and waited in insanely long lines at his constant request. To make things worse, she still hadn't seen neither hide or hair of Simba, despite the fact that by all accounts he should be very much human and back in town.

She'd tried going to Hera's castle, to find out what was going on and when things would begin to restart, but it seemed that they too, were on an extended holiday.

The Disney University was occupied by ex-zombies competing to see who could have the biggest human hangover the next day.

She'd gone home to read a book and perhaps take a nap, but with every scream of joy from outside, she had both been prevented from sleeping and reminded of the fact that she was all alone.

Which was how she ended up at a bar, nursing a drink and reading her worn copy of Pride and Prejudice (she chose to leave the zombie version at home, deciding that she had far too much of that recently.)

It Seems the Ice is Slowly Melting

[nobody-puts-art-on-the-wall-blog]

Oh, no, no — I didn’t work at the facility. I’m a hunter, but not a regular hunter? *Shakes head* I’m sorry if that’s confusing you, I meant my boss is a hunter and a researcher, so my missions were to help her research… *purses lips* yes, that made sense.

[dodobirdzazu]

A hunter who did research... curious. Zazu had seen some unfamiliar tough guys at the facility from time to time, but that wasn't her area and well she might've been a little bit... distracted, at the time.

"Oh, that's interesting, who's your boss, maybe I know him."

My Heart... Is Beating (Once More)

Holy crap

[dodobirdzazu]

Zazu sat by the wall, watching the sun go down and listening to the sound of the people rejoicing. The gates were flung open and she could see a trail of zombies making their way back towards Disney, some running as they finally came back home.

It was a peaceful sort of feeling, to know that everything was going to be all right again, that there was magic in the air and the possibility of Happily Ever Afters on her tongue.

She had come out to the wall to watch for Simba, who had to be coming home soon. Mufasa had given her the day off, probably to go out to look for him himself, and she didn't really have anything important to do. Unfortunately, she hadn't seen her friend yet.

She was thinking about how nice it was that everyone was being reunited when she heard the expletive and it's accompanying scream.

"Can I help you?" she called out over the terrain, standing to see if anyone was in danger or having a heart-attack.

It Seems the Ice is Slowly Melting

[nobody-puts-art-on-the-wall-blog]

So something you guys did must’ve worked, it helped Hera at least. I work for one of the researchers, you know? Or I guess I used to. *Takes a breath and smiles* I like that it’s past tense. 

Hi Zazu, I’m Art. The feeling is likewise.

[dodobirdzazu]

She smiled.

"Well, the day before it was fixed, we were trying something new, although it wasn't actually successful... perhaps Hera got inspired? Who knows."

She paused, thinking for a moment.

"You didn't like working at the facility?"

Here Comes the Sun

[forgetful-ben-blog]

Degree? Degree in what?

Might? I don’t know, I think we all are. I mean, no zombies in sight, and the apocalypse is over, I’d say we’re all saved. Wait… no zombies. That means Jim is human. How could I forget? Jim is human!

[dodobirdzazu]

Jim was obviously a zombie, someone important to this person. A friend, a brother perhaps? It was common enough for families to be torn apart by the apocalypse. Another reason to be thankful it was finally over.

"No, no, I think the curse is reversed, but you never know with fate. Maybe they choose to punish us with a tsunami next."

"But assuming we're all saved, I'd like to go to university, study human biology, - you know, biophysics, anatomy, physiology, neuroscience - not quite sure which yet, I'm interested in research - I'm Mufasa's assistant, you know."

She paused, then added, "I'm Zazu, by the way - Zazu Tsippor. Nice to meet you."

[dodobirdzazu]

It Seems the Ice is Slowly Melting

[nobody-puts-art-on-the-wall-blog]

It seems like it’s been years.

[dodobirdzazu]

"Well, it's really only been months, but yes, it is nice, isn't it? I'm so glad that Hera figured out how to reverse the curse. I've been studying it, you know - I'm Mufasa's assistant at the research facility.

"I'm Zazu, by the way, nice to meet you."

[dodobirdzazu]

Here Comes the Sun

[forgetful-ben-blog]

*looks up toward the sun, then back at her* You should be a weather man… or weather woman. *smiles* Optimism, I like it.

[dodobirdzazu]

"I'll keep that in mind if I fail to get my degree."

"But no, I was actually talking how we might all be saved and the apocalypse is over. Though the sun shining is nice too."

[dodobirdzazu]

Here Comes the Sun

"But yes, I think it's great."
