Still homeless. Still looking. Sort of.

[crampinmyback]

What?? No no no, I don't like this idea at all, mun!

I knoooww you want to "take me" from somewhere earlier on. We agreed before the song, and I was fine and happy with it and things were all hunky-dory.

But this? Ohohoho, no this I will not stand for! Please, PLEASE pick anywhere but the exact moment I wonder if it'd hurt to chop down a few more trees. I'd rather not have this decision hanging over my head in any game I go into like some big cloud of self-doubt.

Things have been good in here so far! I mean yes, I've been wondering about-- nay, expecting --a little rough treatment, but... [Exasperated siiiiigh.] Just think about it, okay?

... Kid, chopping down another tree was something you needed to debate?

[Really, why on earth did he need to wait?]

[crampinmyback]

Oh. Hey again. [Enthusiastic sounding, isn't he? It's not you, honest, it's the situation.]

Actually, yes. I promised Mustache I wouldn't cut down more trees after the first, except thneed production was too slow. And my family suggested it, annnnd... [He trails off, looking uncomfortable.]

[forhesajollygoodonceler]

[Well it better not be because of him! You're the one of the other hims that he likes the most.]

Well if you want my advice, [although he accepted this begrudgingly] perhaps you can build a device. A device that can take from the tufts that won't chop down the trees and do it productively.

[crampinmyback]

We're kind of doing that already? Hand plucking tufts from the trees with extendable mechanical arms. I'm perfectly happy with this method, slow as it is, since it keeps my promise. My family however, is not.

[forhesajollygoodonceler]

Then build one that can do it for you. If you're an ounce like me it should not be a problem to do.

[crampinmyback]

[He nodded and smiled, clearly enthused by this idea.] Yeah, that'll be perfect!

[forhesajollygoodonceler]

Just do it before you make it in your work, or else the other yous will go berserk.

[crampinmyback]

Yeah. I'll make sure to do it soon.

Might as well send her since they have CR now...sorta...kinda...umm

[pink_resonates]

[Her mun is laughing her head off about this, because "fine print, lol", but she's gonna take the high road and try to be helpful. Or optimistic anyway.]

Well, just think about it like this: If you get taken from just before you make a decision one way or the other you can ask other people in the game you go to for advice about what you should do. Some outside perspective and opinions can't hurt, and then you can consider them before you decide for good when you go back.

[Here's a hint: Don't do it.]

Sorta. He's both KH Oncie and he's not. Oh dear_mun. XD

[crampinmyback]

You know, I didn't look at it like that...

Yay dear_mun. Complicating things since...uhhh...2009? I guess...

[pink_resonates]

[Hold that thought, Once-lee.]

...Of course, that assumes that when you go back you can actually recall the conversations you had off-world, and that...doesn't always happen.

[She's just a fountain of "helpfulness" sometimes.]

B-but, at least that makes your mun's choice of where to take you from not so bad, right?

...It could be worse?

[crampinmyback]

That's true... [And he mutters "At least while I'm off world I won't HAVE to make that decision either."]

I guess. I'm just relieved I'm still from before... you know.

[pink_resonates]

[By George, I think he's got it.]

...I know?

[She does know, because she gives a giggle a moment later.]

Yeah, I know. And there's worse places to be taken from before that happens evem.

For example: You could have ended up taken from any of the scenes in the river.

[And then you'd find yourself somewhere strange and new. ...In your fluffy yellow bunny PJs.]

[crampinmyback]

And all wet. [He sighs, then blinks and looks off in a mun-ly direction.] Nooo, don't you dare! [Do NOT want a paid account just for pajama icons!]

ALL THE PAJAMA ICONS. XD

[pink_resonates]

And, with the right timing? Heading towards the liiiiight.

[Cue spooky fingers and tone. Then a snicker.]

That one's the worst of all, if you ask me.

[There's more snickering after that. I'm not sure she even regrets this. She's seen your PJs. They're amusing to say the least. ...Do they happen to come in pink with purple bunnies?]

He's already got one XD IT'S A START

[crampinmyback]

[Alright. He has to admit, her treatment of it is making it a little funnier than it should be, which is why he's just going to shake his head.]

Hopefully my mun chooses to stay with the first idea, with the attempts to sell the first thneed.

[truffulacide]

[oh nooooo DON'T RUIN YOUR LIFE OTHER-ME, YOU STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE]

And I thought my Mun was a jerk. Would they really do that to you, or d'ya think it's just an idle threat?

[crampinmyback]

Honestly? I think-- I hope --it was idle thought because he forgot to bring his mp3 player on the bus today. I won't know for sure until an app for somewhere is written, though.

[yourproblem]

Rough treatment is how it goes. Have you checked your brochures for all the places your mun could send you?

[crampinmyback]

[Slightly flat tone.] So I've heard. [Then he shrugs, taking much the same pose as the icon.] Not really? So far there's still only the one.

[yourproblem]

'Only the one?' Trust me, there's a loooot of games. And they're all about selling themselves out for people like us.

I bet there's one with a lot of weird trees you could chop down too-- anyway, I'm sort of in the 'looking but no promises' section myself.

[crampinmyback]

No, what I meant was my mun's only looking at one game right now. I think he's not sure how else to go about it...

I don't want to chop down anymore trees. I made a promise.

[yourproblem]

Ahh, I got you. Mine's... well, mine's just sort of an indecisive dork. For instance, she's really happy to see you get 'played' here. I'm just the messenger.

[ pfft ] Never thought I'd meet a guy with tree problems, but I've seen weirder things.

Marceline. You?

[crampinmyback]

Me? Really? Well, tell her thanks. I'm happy to be around?

The Once-ler. [Though mun insists on using "Oncie," sigh.]

Did you pick that out or is your first name really 'The'?
