canon is Horton Hears A Who. oh god what am i doing homeless forever

 Hey, uhh, mundane? This is the mayor. Just wanted you to know this is a horrible idea considering your workload right now. Trust me, I know all about tight schedules.

As for that whole "our clover looks like a tree" thing, I wouldn't know. I've never seen it. Given that we're on a speck that is on top of it. Kinda makes it hard to get the big picture.

By the way, this isn't going to work.

Especially not if you plan on moving around too much. May I remind you that whatever you do... up there will have a huge impact on what happens down here?

Okay! Glad we had this little chat.

Really really! Yeah, I wasn't too hooked on believing it either until a giant elephant started messing with the weather.

[cantouchtheair]

It probably wasn't a giant elephant, given your size. Just a normal elephant.

[busyguy]

...EhhIdunno, an elephant is an elephant no matter how big you are.

But you're probably right. Besides, Horton watches his weight, or so he tells me!

[cantouchtheair]

It's a talking elephant?

[She pauses, and shrugs.] I guess it isn't any crazier than someone living on a speck...

[busyguy]

Oh, believe me, I know crazy.

Not to say that I am, just that... I know crazy.

[cantouchtheair]

I'm pretty familiar with it too, so don't worry.

Isn't it scary knowing you're so...small, though?

[busyguy]

Well, I don't mind telling ya, it was pret-ty worrying at first! But then I figured, hey, I have a whole city full of people to be responsible for, I don't have time to have an existential crisis! Even with the knowledge that at any moment we could all be stepped on and crushed -

Actually, you know what, yes, it's terrifying. Ha ha!! I try not to think about it.

[cantouchtheair]

I guess when you think about it, all of us are pretty small compared to something else, though.

So is that elephant still messing with your weather?

[busyguy]

I guess when you put it like that...

Oh - no, no - Horton didn't follow, ah, wherever this is. But, well, at least we're stable. That's the number one thing. I guess.

[cantouchtheair]

So it's your mun you have to worry about now?

[busyguy]

Yup! Pretty much! At least she's lightfooted.
