Muse testing... again.

[buildingtheeconomy]

You can't just... come back here and force me back into this!

I have a business to run, you can't just...

Why did you even put me here anyway? I've got important things to do.

Comments

[notaglitch]

What kind of important things?

[buildingtheeconomy]

...Very important things.

[kingofnightmares]

A business? What does this business entail, exactly?

[buildingtheeconomy]

Making thneeds, of course.

[kingofnightmares]

...What's a thneed?

[buildingtheeconomy]

Something everyone needs.

It can do pretty much everything.

[kingofnightmares]

Everything? One item can do everything?

[Color him skeptical]

That's hard to believe.

u ok oncie

[buildingtheeconomy]

Just watch this.

[ He pulls the thneed he was using as a scarf off and forms it into a hat ]

It can be a hat or a scarf... or anything else, really.

[ He's very proud of himself. ]

[kingofnightmares]

[And he stares at it blankly for a moment before scoffing.]

So it keeps you warm... Is that all?

[buildingtheeconomy]

It can be most anything else, too!

Uh... It can be a leash for a dog! Or a kite!

[kingofnightmares]

[You're starting to lose him Onceler. His face grows stoic as he looks at him with a small roll of his eyes.]

Riiight. But it can't be a weapon. It isn't edible... You say it can do everything, but it can't. Those are some high expectations for such a... limited-potential product.

[buildingtheeconomy]

...Limited potential?

If you want a weapon I guess it could be a... whip sort of thing.

[ You tried, Oncie. ]

[kingofnightmares]

[Oh wow, Pitch rubs his brow with his index finger and his thumb.]

Perhaps you should invest in something else.

[buildingtheeconomy]

I really don't know how to make anything else.

[kingofnightmares]

How sad.

[Pitch folds his hands behind his back.]

Perhaps you should learn to be more adaptable. Or learn to make new things.

[buildingtheeconomy]

But the thneed is good enough.

It just so happens that sales are high for the thneeds.

...Or they were before I came here.

[alexisluthor]

I could help out with your business, if you'd consider hiring me.

[notaglitch]

Such as?

[findatree]

Wait, you're still running your business?

[buildingtheeconomy]

Making thneeds, of course.

[buildingtheeconomy]

...And what could you do to help me?

[buildingtheeconomy]

Of course I am. The thneeds are selling like crazy nowadays.

[alexisluthor]

Depends on what work you'd have me do.

[buildingtheeconomy]

Well I need to make more thneeds, I guess.

[alexisluthor]

.....OK, um, where are "thneeds"?
