Kid, are you sure about this? I'm not usually one to judge, but you're barely a beansprout. You got more important things to worry about than all these guys runnin' around your headspace. Sure, you were there for a while last time. It wasn't exactly hard to keep up with. But then you bailed quicker than a barbaloot in the rain.

I guess you can give it another go though, right? No harm in trying. A fresh start sounds nice.

At least you didn't choose to pick up a Beanpole over me. The last thing we need is another one of him runnin' around.

As it stand I have seen two versions of him in that ridiculous hat.

[The Lorax might get the feeling this guy was good with plants. He probably smelled like rich soil and various types of plants.]

[shortishandbossy]

Which hat are we talkin' about here? The normal-sized one or the thing that looks more like a tower than a hat?
[ah yes, nothing like the sweet smell of plant life]

[tinfoil_angel]

The towering one. The guy is alright when he isn't an ego maniac.

[shortishandbossy]

Yeah, he's an alright kid. Just got a little mixed up in things is all.

[tinfoil_angel]

Yeah.

Well at least everything works out in the end even though it takes time to rebuild.

[Then something occurs to him.]

Though now that I think about it I want to try something. Do you have a tree seed on you at the moment?

[shortishandbossy]

Hmm, lemme check. [he turns around and curls in on himself for a moment, cursing and patting his fur as if searching for one. then he turns around, grinning and holding up a small truffula seed]

Aha! Knew I had one on me.

[tinfoil_angel]

Good, now could you plant it in the ground for me?

[shortishandbossy]

Sure, why not.

[curious Lorax is curious as he scoops out a handful of earth and expertly plants said seed. he'll raise an eyebrow at the other and wait for something to happen]

[tinfoil_angel]

Well let's see how this goes.

[He takes off his hat and sits cross-legged next to where the seed was planted, his eyes closed. Nothing happens for a little while but all at once that is changed. From where the seed was planted a full-grown truffula sprouts up healthy and vibrant.

Karl smiles once it's finished.]

Wow it actually worked. Shame I didn't give this a go in my own universe.

[losthisheart]

..What are you?

[shortishandbossy]

Are you kidding? I'm The Lorax! You know, the magical guardian of the forest? I speak for the trees. It's not like they can do it themselves.

omg omg omg

[findatree]

[stares at this thing, thoughtful] What are you supposed to be?

B)

[shortishandbossy]

[stares right back at you, kiddo]

I'm not a what, I'm a who. And I'm The Lorax.

/grabby hands

[findatree]

You're the Lorax? The Once-ler told me about you!

casually reserves him.......

[shortishandbossy]

Yeah? Did he tell you the story of how his bed magically ended up in the river?

squee!

[findatree]

Yeah, he did. He said he almost died.

[shortishandbossy]

I wasn't trying to hurt him. Just calmly float him out of the valley.

[findatree]

That plan didn't work out too well.

[shortishandbossy]

Yeah, yeah. It would have worked out if a few things hadn't gone sour.

[findatree]

He seems really sorry for what happened. And was happy when I told him I had a seed.

I actually squealed

[whichwayyoulean]

Having already talked to other mes, I'm going to have to agree with you. It's creepy and strange. Kind of like you.

[Insulting people is so the way to tell them you've missed them more than anything in the world, right? Right?]

Hehehe

[shortishandbossy]

Strange, maybe. But creepy? Really? Do I look creepy to you? [no wait he's gonna answer that isn't he]

Don't answer that.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm pretty sure a furry peanut with a moustache would be creepy to just about anyone.

[shortishandbossy]

And a towering green-suited kid wouldn't be?

ahhh that reserve my heart <33

[whichwayyoulean]

That's stylish, not creepy.

heeee

[shortishandbossy]

It's an eyesore.

[whichwayyoulean]

[GASP]

You take that back! That suit is amazing.
