Nine Truffula Trees

[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?

[wilder]

So you did?

[whichwayyoulean]

Sure. That's why I'm the smart one of the family.

[wilder]

What would you do?

[whichwayyoulean]

I'd leave a convincing trail leading off in one direction and go hide in the barn.

They never thought to look in the barn.

[wilder]

[he snorts]

Right. So how long would you have to hide in the barn?

[whichwayyoulean]

A couple of hours. But it was okay, I just worked on a couple of inventions until they got bored or Ma told them to do some work.

[wilder]

Sounds fun.

[whichwayyoulean]

It was more fun than getting held by my feet and spun around.

[wilder]

Do they really do that?

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, not any more obviously. But when we were kids, yeah.

[wilder]

Huh. Least you found a way to escape that, I guess. [He doesn't know too much to say about this. Other than the times he got to play with his little sister, he has next to no experience of playing with other kids]

[whichwayyoulean]

Sure, and get some peace and quiet in the process. [Awwww bro :(]

[wilder]

Something you really like, I know.

[whichwayyoulean]

You finally figured that out, huh?

[wilder]

Wellll it is hard to tell with how much you talk.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm a sociable hermit. They can exist.

[wilder]

No, I'm pretty sure that's an oxymoron.

[whichwayyoulean]

[You're an oxymoron B|]

I like to think of it as 'unique'.

[wilder]

Well there's no argument that you're definitely unique, alright. But it's still an oxymoron.

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, maybe I'm the first person to change that.

[wilder]

By being a sociable hermit?

[whichwayyoulean]

Yes, exactly.

[wilder]

[he'll start laughing a little]

You are so weird.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm going to go right ahead and take that as a compliment, don't mind me.

[wilder]

Yeah, yeah- do what you want with it.

[It is really, he definitely considers all his friends to be weird]
