Exactly, Kiniro, truth is easily warped when you're angry and want revenge against something. I mean it really doesn't matter how well Hukumu and Chioh treat their lionesses to an angry young adult who wants his pride back its just more fuel for the fire that he can use against them. After all, you use whatever weapon you can get no matter how cruel or underhanded when you're blinded by the spectre of vengeance.

Sora, were you interested in playing the aforementioned young adult?

I was thinking about that just the other day, too. I think I prefer to keep Olumide dead- he would almost certainly have been assassinated by his enemies at some point. I mean, he had enough of them (enemies) to last two lifetimes.
By the way- this is a rather interesting point that Ami and I were briefly discussing a while back. Could there be a chance of Sabiri somehow "accidentally" resurrecting Olumide? Or, even if that sounds proposterous- how about a chance for Olumide's redemption (so that he can finally find his place amongst the stars), perhaps, through Sabiri? Gawd, I know, that sounds so much like a generic fantasy cliche, but hey. x) The Starseeker TP /was/ supposed to be pretty open-ended, after all, and I could probably invent some story about why Olu wasn't destroyed along with the other Starseekers. What do you guys think?

Resurrecting how? If you mean reincarnation, I think that might be kinda neat.

Ooh, I hadn't even thought of reincarnation. I'll have to keep that in mind! <: I was thinking of bodily resurrection, but hey, reincarnation sounds neat too.

I'd like to avoid bodily ressurection if at all possible; if we start allowing that, death would mean nothing. Reincarnation, on the other hand, would probably be okay.

Eep, should've made it clearer- not full bodily resurrection where Olumide's prancing around as though he'd never died, but a sort of half-resurrection (no, I agree- a full resurrection would be too easy/cheesy). Like, Sabiri (or whoever) performs an arcane ritual to bring him back to life, but botches it so that he returns as a sort of mindless, rampaging zombie that the pride has to figure out some way to exorcise or banish or destroy or whatever.
Okay, that sounds /really/ cheesy, even to me. More about the resurrection thing?

Sora, were you interested in playing the aforementioned young adult? If you guys want, it all depends on what you think will work best. I'm open to suggestions and if people think they could do a better job shaking things up that's perfectly fine with me. And Olumide returning as a zombie would be invincible! We don't have opposable thumbs so we can't create guns to shoot him in the head! Everyone knows a slug to the brain is the only way to take out a zombie, even a ravening leonine one! @.@

These all seem like fine ideas. When I said that Olumide could still be 'alive', though, I didn't mean actually alive, I just meant that he could still exist, despite Talmaleki telling Gwandoya that Tal had destroyed him.
I'm already having zombie ideas! Ooh, ouch, ick ick ick! (Think Bongo'koka Infiltration and Sabotage Team!)

Oh! Idea from Chioh! How about a lion that used to be a prince of the pride has the same thought about the current pride and Olumide possesses the lion to get his pride back from Chioh and Hukumu.

Hm! Interesting idea. If we stuck with that, I'd be the one to have to spoof the lion, if he was possessed by Olumide. :3

I'm not a real big fan of possession. I'd much rather have Olumide guiding his son in true Hamlet fashion - but if that's what people want, we could probably arrange something.
Is it all right if Olumide/Olumide's son has gathered a small group of companions to help out? One lion alone won't be able to do anything, but five or six would have better luck.

I just think it's more reasonable than either resurrection or reincarnation. Since the subject seems to have veered away from him being a plain old ghost, which is probably the most reasonable of all.

Actually, I'm not really into the possession-idea either. And, hey! None of these things were my idea, y'know. Well, except the zombie bit. xD To tell you the truth, I'd rather have Olu stay a ghost as well, and guide the son without any physical means of manifestation. But whatever the majority of others want, I'll be perfectly happy to go along with. : ) Of course, Bahati! In fact, I think it'd be silly if there /weren't/ more than one lion dosing it out; that one would be killed in a matter of minutes. I certainly have no objection to the idea, and I don't see why anyone else would either. It would actually make the 'rebellion,' so to speak, more effective.
