Too much muse.

[buildingtheeconomy]

Really, mun?

You watch the movie once and you're bursting with muse.

Well - I guess I deserve it. My thneeds are pretty successful....

What's a h'need?

[buildingtheeconomy]

A thneed is something that all people need. It can do the work of a thousand things!

[justjunes]

That's silly. One thing can't do a thousand things.

[buildingtheeconomy]

...Well, it can.

Here, why don't you try?

[ He hands her a Thneed, which is pretty much a bright pink mass of fuzz that can do a whole lot of things. ]

[justjunes]

[She takes it.]

Huh? But this is just a blanket.

[buildingtheeconomy]

It's not just a blanket.

[ He takes the thneed and twists it around until it fits on her head. He places it there. ]

Now it's a trendy hat.

[ OOC: I posted with the wrong account before sorry :'D ]

[justjunes]

[She giggles as she feels the soft linen touch her head.]

Anyone can do that. You can turn a blanket into a super hero cape...oh! Or a really big scarf!

[ooc: 's all good 8D]

[buildingtheeconomy]

Yes, but the thneed can do more than a blanket can!

[ Unfortunately, it really has no practical uses. Too bad for you, Oncie. ]

[justjunes]

Hm...

[Super Detective Brain Powers: Go! Let's see you can make it into a hat, a scarf, a super hero cape...What else...?]

Ah!

[Hey! This is pretty fun! It's like some sort of game where you can guess the many uses of one inanimate object. She takes the soft fabric and wraps it around her waist.]

It's a skirt now.

[buildingtheeconomy]

So it is!

Would you like one?

[justjunes]

Yeah!

[buildingtheeconomy]

That'll be ten dollars, then.

[justjunes]

[Wait wut.]

Huh? But I don't have any money.

[buildingtheeconomy]

[ He's a greedy one :'D ]

...Oh. Then I guess you can't have one.

[justjunes]

Oh...

[Day; slightly sour. That blanket was pretty soft too.]

[buildingtheeconomy]

If you come back with ten dollars... then you can get one.

[justjunes]

[And with a heavy heart, she hands back the thneed back to the Once-ler.]

Thank you but I'll ask my dad to get me one from Junes.

[buildingtheeconomy]

[ He takes the thneed. ]

...It'll cost the same at Junes, I guess?

[motherlysupport]

Were successful, Oncie. And 'pretty' isn't really enough now, is it?

[buildingtheeconomy]

Uh... but they are successful. Right now.

[ He frowns slightly. He really hoped he'd impressed his family this time. ]

[motherlysupport]

You might be tryin' to live in the past, but that won't bring all your little old toys back, y'know. Meanwhile you leave your Momma here all in the future to support herself with your failed lifestyle.

[Playing in your old robes... you'll never amount to anything.]

[buildingtheeconomy]

What... what are you talking about?

People are still buying the thneeds and... and there might be less truffula trees than I need, but I'm trying to find an alternative.

[motherlysupport]

You destroyed the last one. Don't tell me you've got amnesia now? This is all I need...

[buildingtheeconomy]

I... I destroyed the last truffula tree?

[ He just kinda... slumps. ]

But I just.. I just saw them.

[motherlysupport]

What've I told you about bein' a lier?

[NO LIERS IN THIS FAMILY. BUT IT'S OKAY, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A PART OF IT ANYWAY.]

[buildingtheeconomy]

But I did!

So... If they're all gone...

[ He half expects the Lorax to randomly show up. ]

[motherlysupport]

Then you just go n' amount to nothin', like always.

[buildingtheeconomy]

But... I did amount to something....

...Right?

[ Ha ha you already know the answer. ]

[motherlysupport]

[She's just raising a brow at you.]

[buildingtheeconomy]

.... Right.

[ He just slumps more. ]

[motherlysupport]

Well, if you do ever amount'ta somethin', you know where I am. At my family's home.

[And with that, she's on her way.

Such a disappointment of a son.]

[buildingtheeconomy]

And I'll be.....

Here. I guess.

[ He isn't even sure if she heard him. ]

[motherlysupport]

[She didn't.

And she wouldn't care if she had.]
