Mun is perhaps a little TOO excited about the new Lorax film...

[thatallpeopleneed]

... Now you're just being ridiculous. You can't even wait until Friday?

Comments

[lucency]

Mine couldn't wait until I showed up, either. She'd been planning this for at least a month.

DID YOU READ IT?

[thatallpeopleneed]

Ahh yeah well um. Yeah. It's sort of insane. What's she gonna do if she ends up hating my movie?

NO NOT YET I'M A FAILURE I'M SORRY

[lucency]

Who's to say that she can't still play you as a book character?

GUUUUUURL GET OVER HERE AND I'LL READ IT TO YOU. :|

[thatallpeopleneed]

Iiiii don't think she wants to though. Something about not wanting to play a pair of green arms.

OKAY I LIKE STORYTIME.

[lucency]

...Well. [That does pose quite the dilemma.] I have heard something about - alternates?

WELL WHERE ARE YOU GOSH.

[thatallpeopleneed]

Alternates?

I'M NOT THERE?

[lucency]

Yes. It's - you'd still be you, only acting like the book character. You're neither them, nor from the movie. An alternate.

NOT UNLESS YOU'RE THAT MOTH ON MY CEILING.

[thatallpeopleneed]

That's... convenient. Also just a teeny tiny bit terrifying.

ISN'T IT A COOL DISGUISE?

[lucency]

Why? You wouldn't change at all from the way you are now.

DID VFD TEACH YOU THAT TRICK?

[thatallpeopleneed]

How do you know though? What if she decides to change me completely? I don't know if I trust this woman.

...YOUNG LADY HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD TO YOUR MOTHER...

[lucency]

She likes you like this, doesn't she?

THE QUESTION IS, HAS SHE BEEN GOOD TO ME?

[thatallpeopleneed]

That doesn't mean she might not change me anyway.

/MOZART'S 14TH.

[lucency]

Right now, you're how she thinks you'll be, right? And if she's wrong, and you're entirely different - a way that she doesn't like, then she certainly wouldn't put you in that position. And you wouldn't want to be that, anyway.

gdi I can't whistle

[thatallpeopleneed]

Right. Well. Yes. Yeah, I guess.

... So what's your name?

yeah same i think we're failures. :|

[lucency]

Trust me. Stop worrying.

Belle, sir. [polite curtsy.] And you?

bawwww whistlefail.

[thatallpeopleneed]

[Oh gee wow super polite. COLOR HIM IMPRESSED.]

I'm the Once-ler.

Soooo, Belle. I don't suppose you're in the market for a Thneed, are you?

we're the worst vfd wannabes. :|

[lucency]

A pleasure to meet you. [yeah she does that she's a pretty cool girl etc.]

A - I'm sorry, a what?

afk weeping

[thatallpeopleneed]

A Thneed! [Oh and look, he pulls one out of... his pocket? Hammerspace? Somewhere. WHAT A FINE PIECE OF KNITWEAR.]

It's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need. Just $3.98, for you.

all of my creys.

[lucency]

[WELL IT'S INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST. even if she. doesn't. get it.]

Does it do anything in particular?

No but seriously we need to figure out some way for you to hear this book.

[thatallpeopleneed]

More like, what doesn't it do? It's a scarf, a sock, a net for catching butterflies, a bicycle seat cover, a jump rope, a hat, a throw rug, curtains, security blanket, anything really.

i concur with this.

[lucency]

Could it, say, help me clean? [and lol what the hell would rumplestiltskin's reaction to that be.]

idk do you have skype? then I could rig up el webcam so you can also see the pictures.

[thatallpeopleneed]

Well duh. Just tie one end to a stick and voila, instant moppity mop action!

[Well maybe if Rumpleface had a Thneed he would be happier and less insane.]

fjalksejf yes i do but i'm about to go to bed YOU COULD DO AN EPIC PICSPAM ON LE TUMBLR THO.

[lucency]

And where did you discover this? [at this point, she'll humor him. because it's amusing. but don't tell that she doesn't have any money shhhh.]

there's like 60 something pages, noooooo. we'll just have to schedule a time. LIKE A BOSS.

[thatallpeopleneed]

I invented them! [And he's DAMN PROUD of that fact too.]

yes. i have spring break coming up so - yes.

[lucency]

Invented? [okay, they might only be silly knitted things, but that is just plain precious.] And you seem to be making quite the business venture out of them.

[thatallpeopleneed]

Well, you know what they say! Business must grow.

So, uh, what about you? What do you do?

[lucency]

I - [wow it feels so weird saying this. she's never gotten the chance to actually tell someone before.] I work for a man as his housekeeper.

[thatallpeopleneed]

[Yeah watch as he totally doesn't catch alllll the awkwardness behind that sentence.] Oh! I guess that's why you were asking about cleaning, huh? They're very durable, by the way.

[lucency]

Oh, I can tell. They look it.

[pause. well. i guess she has to shatter his dreams, now.]

It just that I don't have any money.

[friendship_is_tardiness]

Of course she can't!

Because if she waits too long, she'll be tardy!

[thatallpeopleneed]

I think in this case, her waiting would put her on time, not tardy. All she's been able to see of me are a few little videos. Well, okay, well she's also heard my songs. But that only slightly a little bit counts for anything.
