Nine Truffula Trees

[whichwayyoulean]

[The journal can pick up a lot of clanging and banging today, why? Because the Once-ler’s got his inventing groove on. York asked for a duplicate of his wagon-cottage-mahome and well, he’s happy to deliver. After all, it’s something he can do inside the safe confines of his room...with the the ‘mahome’ part at least. The rest? Well that may require leaving his safe haven, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for science. He also appears to be singing while he works]

♫ We could while away the hours
Da da de da le da dedo
There would be lots and lots of flowers
And you could sit on a gazebo ♫

...It still doesn’t sound right.

[Not noticing his journal was open for that, he wanders over to his drawing board where it’s popped up to dictate into it]

Okay. Opinion time. When you're camping out, what's more important to you:
A: Having a working shower
or
B: Having a skylight

...This filter could go wrong in about ten million ways but that’s what you get for having an un-unique name.

Someone mentioned you had some scrap metal laying around your TARDIS. You using it for anything?

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh good. That's good. Because I was starting to get that impression. Around every corner lurks death and so on.

[heal_theworld]

Well, as long as you stay in well-populated places...

[whichwayyoulean]

See, that's where I'd have some problems.

[heal_theworld]

I'm sure you could rig up something anti-monster proof. Look at all the traps outside your room. [That she can get through easily, but...DETAILS.]

[whichwayyoulean]

Back home I guess I could. I mean, the Lerkim is right on the edge of a giant cliff face.

[heal_theworld]

See, there's a deterrent right there! Unless it flies.

[whichwayyoulean]

I think the Lerkim is strong enough to deal with it.

Unless it's you know, a giant flying thing.

[heal_theworld]

...Like a dragon?

[whichwayyoulean]

...Do you have dragons too?

[heal_theworld]

[She wonders if she should tell him.] Ah...No?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'd probably regret asking] Youuu don't sound so sure about that. And I'd of thought if there's one thing anyone would be sure about, it'd be dragons.

[heal_theworld]

Okay, yes, there are dragons. And some do attack you. But some are domesticated.

[whichwayyoulean]

You can domesticate dragons? [This is the tone of disbelief]

[heal_theworld]

Yes, Once-Ler, you can domesticated dragons and ride them. [She laughs.] You're not the first person to ask me that.

[whichwayyoulean]

You can ride them?

...Okay, that's pretty neat.

[heal_theworld]

Of course it's neat. They have to be trained first, but... Anyway, you don't like flying.

[whichwayyoulean]

Correction. I don't like being slung over someone's shoulders and suddenly being launched into the sky.

[heal_theworld]

I wasn't going to drop you.

[whichwayyoulean]

I didn't know that at the time.

[heal_theworld]

So you thought that I was a crazy woman with wings?

[whichwayyoulean]

You really came across that way, yes.

[heal_theworld]

[She laughs.] I'm sorry, really. But you did dare me to do it.

[whichwayyoulean]

I didn't think you'd actually do it. I thought you'd leave me alone like a sane person would

[heal_theworld]

Now what sane person would leave you alone up in your room?

[whichwayyoulean]

The kind who respects other people's personal space?
