Voice Testing [Canon: The Lorax] I regret nothing!

[badly_thneeding]

There are no tress where we are going! Why did you do some sort of dumb reserve there! That is just stupid! Don't you know exactly what this means, my family is finally noticing me, we have business booming and I AM the favorite son!

What is mustache's problem anyway? I'm not bad I'm just following my destiny...wow I feel like I have said that soooo many times now. Silly nilly!

Nothing bad will happen, it's just a few trees right? But, how am I supposed to achieve this destiny if you 'mun.' Hang on! Mun? Is that like really your name? Mun!? That's lame! Pfff. Okay back to. The. Topic!

I need those trees to achieve all I can be! This should be obvious. You see what you can do and I'll strive at my own...my...hmpf.... The business! Got it! Okay, good that this is settled.

Did you just say "a few trees"?

[badly_thneeding]

Yeah, a few little trees. Shouldn't be too harmful, right? They'll grow back that. Is. What trees do. Plus as an additional totally unplanned and spontaneous factoid, is my family supports me 100%!

[naltorian]

[She just gives him a stone-faced look.]

So that excuses you for chopping down a few trees? Just how many trees are you chopping down?

[badly_thneeding]

Didn't I just say a FEW? Do you want sort of specific number or something?

[naltorian]

Well, I'm curious. Because usually when tacky dressed business men talk about grabbing up natural resources, it usually turns into them destroying the reserves.

[Folds arms, arching brow at the Once-ler.]

[badly_thneeding]

Tacky? Tacky dressed? I thought this was a proud get up. Clearly you need a word or two about a fashion. Such an outfit is just what one would expect for the inventor of the Thneed to wear. Did I mention that the Thneed is a revolutionary product! It has over a thousand and one uses!

Which is why I need those sweet trufflula tress...mom said that harvesting the tufts is taking too long. Its good for business and a few trees won't hurt. Sheese! Now I'm repeating myself. But hey, who are you to tell me otherwise?

[Folds his arms and arches a brow, right back!]

[naltorian]

You're letting the trees go back before cutting down more, right?

[He's naive. He seems more like he's trying to sound arrogant and powerful. But is he aware of the ramifications of his actions?]

[badly_thneeding]

[Dodging that question!]

You never answered my question. I asked you first, who are you to be questioning the pure nature of my situation.

[voiceofthetrees]

[ Have a very unhappy Lorax Once-ler. A very unhappy Lorax ]

As you shouldn't

[forhesajollygoodonceler]

[Well the family noticing him bit is new. (And the greed, I guess).]

Mustache? You wouldn't be talking about the Lorax, the one who's been causing unneeded stress?

Omg omg! Lorax! <3

[badly_thneeding]

[Oh hey there Mustache...he will be looking over here, not noticing you.]

<3 Thanks? I think? xD

[badly_thneeding]

Yes, the annoying mustached 'magical' fraud. I don't even think he is what he says he is! Bolt of lightning, popping out from a tree stump. Laaaaaame!

Indeed it is! <3

[voiceofthetrees]

[ The Lorax frowns. ]

I know you know I'm here.

[naltorian]

I'm an enlightened young hero who has been through death and back and knows her worth in salts about environmental distress and...

Oh give me that!

[She steals his hat.]

Let me ask you something! Who are you to think that you're above the laws of nature?

[badly_thneeding]

[No! Not he hat! He will be qucikly grabbing at her and it.]

How is this at all fair! Give me that back! I'm just being me! I know what I'm doing it just comes naturally, it's only been a few trees so far. Nothing...too bad. Will you give me that back!

[He raises his voice, speaking as he continues to grab.]

/squeals!

[badly_thneeding]

[No...he sees no of importance. He looks away from you.]

Could you kindly leave?

[naltorian]

No, I will not give you this hat back. You're being unreasonable, and giving slack! [She moves the hat away each time Once-ler tries to make a grab. She adds a hop and skip and then a flip away.]

If you be greedy, then you're needy. Needy as needy can be! You take and take, and never replace, making such haste, very soon, yes very soon, you'll be nothing but waste.

[shadowswag]

"Mundane" is also a name for them. Think of it as a shared title. Their nature is really more fucked than the title itself though.

[Shrug.] Good on you though that you're following your destiny and all.

Party time! \o/

[voiceofthetrees]

[ The Lorax sighs. Sadly, he knows the fate of what is going to happen ]

Why? So you can just continue cutting down the trees?

[badly_thneeding]

[Rude!]

Pardon! Who said anything about greed! I sure didn't, just destiny.

[He takes a step back, crossing his arms before raising a hand to wave a finger around in a silly gesture.]

I...will no such thing! I will be taking only what I need for my Thneeds. It's a business and it needs to grow! I'm just doing what any other human would do. You just don't get it.

[naltorian]

Destiny of witch you speak may be nothing but your greed. Will you stop? Will you drop? When your Thneeds are complete and the trees half deplete, will you stop. Will you let the trees be?

/puts on 'Let it Grow' (Celebrate the World). Rock on!

[badly_thneeding]

How many of you 'nosey' characters does it take to explain it, before you all get it. I should just write a book and make it a mandatory reading source of explanation. Soon none of you will be asking or questioning, especially you!

It. Is. Just a few treeeees Mustache!

[He kneels over giving a 'pff' noise from his mouth and taps the Lorax on the nose before rising to stand again.]

They will grow back, I'm the good guy here you, something good happens and suddenly you rain down on my destiny, which mind you was the whole purpose of my joyous trek to this forest.

[badly_thneeding]

What is with all this casual rhyming...why? Is there any purpose of it? Seriously. Come on! Here I got something for you, cause who doesn't enjoy a delightful treat.

[He reaches into his pocket for a moment, rummaging a bit before he pulls out a delicious, sugary, white, puffy treat.]

Try this! Oh!

[He raises a finger, dropping his head a bit in dramatic thought.]

Return my hat!

ffff best song to put on at this time!

[voiceofthetrees]

[ He wrinkles his nose from being touched before he shakes his head. You are not thinking things through Once-ler ]

Tell me. What makes you think the trees will be growing back?

[naltorian]

[Nura just stares. And stares. And then. She takes his hat, holding it by both sides now, arms out, widening, pressure put upon the seams of the hat.]

Are you trying to bribe me with a marshmallow?
