shaky voice-testing

[thneed_ler]

Well, it looks like everyone beat you to it. Still, no time like the present, right? Besides, it's not like I'm judging you for it.
I mean, I did say you probably should wait until you can actually see the movie properly - but if you think you're up for it, that's really your decision! Just stick with it, and everything will be fine.

I really don't get why you keep calling me your "mildest muse", by the way. I'm super not-mild! I'm... upbeat! Optimistic! Sassy? Okay, not sassy. Sassy is a little... effeminate.
...You've already written it down, haven't you.

Let's just get looking for something to keep me occupied, okay?

[voiceofthetrees]

Another one? How many of you are there?!

[thneed_ler]

Evidently? Lots.

It's just as weird for me as it is for you, moustache - if not weirder! But apparently my mundane isn't about to let something as trivial as reality stop her from making decisions, so... Well, better make the best of it, I guess!

[voiceofthetrees]

Nu-huh. Why do they believe you're a good choice?! Quite obviously my mundane had the better idea by deciding to pick me instead of you.

[ But hey. This isn't a bad thing. The Lorax is unique after all! ]

[thneed_ler]

Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's just my... incredible taste in music.

[Oh no. Oh no he is getting out his guitar. Oh noooo.]

Not that there aren't a million other reasons. I can list those for you, if you'd like. [Experimental strum.]

[voiceofthetrees]

[ Oh no not that. Anything but that ]

You still call that noise music?

No. I don't want to waste my time listening to your silly reasons.

[thneed_ler]

[Just gonna start singing over you there, pal.]

I'm a tall guy with a reallynicehat,
Gonna lord it over you, and that is that
And I really mean OVER 'cause you're kinda short...

[voiceofthetrees]

[ Have a straight face forever Onceler ]

[adontdrop]

Has your mun seen the movie... Improperly?

[thneed_ler]

Well - I wouldn't call it improper...

...Actually, yes, yes I would. It's a crime against industry. [Pointed glare at mundane oh god stop looking at me like that]

[adontdrop]

[...She doesn't get it. :/]

Oh. I'm sorry.

[thneed_ler]

...It's like stealing, but twice as lazy. From what I can tell.

[Shrug!]

[adontdrop]

Well, they're very strange, aren't they?

[She will just fly up towards his forehead now.]

I like your hat.

hit the button too soon whoops!

[thneed_ler]

No kiddin'.

[Oh wow it flies. He'll proceed to look very in awe and instinctively hold his hands a little way under her.]

Oh - well, thank you! I'm glad someone appreciates my fashion sense. I like your... plant... dress.

[truffulacide]

“Mild”? Ugh. You’re a person, not a brand of hot sauce. Extravagant is more like it.

[thneed_ler]

[Have a cheerful arm-flail of agreement. Yes! Someone gets it! ...Totally ignoring the fact that it's himself!] Grandiose!

[truffulacide]

Astonishing.

[thneed_ler]

Magnificent. [Oh he is enjoying this. Maybe he will write a song about it later. Maybe he will title it "99 Ways To Name A Really Hip Guy" actually no the title needs work.]

[truffulacide]

[what are you talking about, it's flawless]

Now you're just being arrogant. It'd be much less ostentatious to go with innovative and precocious.

[a slight pause.]

Oh, and peachy keen. Don't forget that, it's the most important one!

[thneed_ler]

No, yeah, peachy keen is on the list. Hold on. I'm trying to rhyme it.

[He'll be picking up his guitar and giving a few thoughtful strums.]

Met myself an' I'm feelin' peachy-keen,
We're the raddest darn duo that a guy's ever seen...

...Eh? [Approving nod.]

You Lorax players make me really want to see this

[herbologizing]

[Mild? Isn't that something that people use to refer to spices and sauces and other...culinary things?]

You're a friend of the Lorax?

lots of people say it isn't a patch on the original book but imho it's really neat!

[thneed_ler]

Yeah! - er - acquaintance. Yeah. We're very good acquaintances. [By which he means frenemies.]

You've met Moustache?

Just have to look at it as different is all! Like with any film of a book.

[herbologizing]

Mustache?

Er, I met him a few days ago in this place, but just the once. He speaks for trees and is going to some game at my old school to teach about plants.

exactly!! i liked both. because they are different! yaaaay they are so wonderful though ahahha

[thneed_ler]

Oh, I heard him talking about that, actually! My mundane got kind of excited about it. Started talking about business lessons. Yeap. [He's gonna look really unimpressed by the idea now, ok.] I mean, who's crazy enough to hire someone whose best teaching method would be - this thing? [Brandishes guitar!]

Besides, I'm not sure about the whole background-altering thing. Seems a little weird, if you ask me!

I actually read the book for the first time two days ago. The ending I was like NO NEED MORE

[herbologizing]

Yeah, I'm not too sure about the altering thing, either, but my mun has no plans for that.

[He squints at the guitar. Neville doesn't know much of anything about music. Don't ask him to dance to it, either.]

You're a musician?

hAHA EXACTLY and same with the film for me, they could have done so much more with it. still gr8 tho

[thneed_ler]

[Have an intrepid little half-strum on the guitar.]

Yeahh, I, uh... well, it's a way to pass the time! I generally do upbeat stuff, you know, like... [Strum strum strummm.]
