Twenty Truffula Trees

[whichwayyoulean]

[So, today the Once-ler is dictating into his journal with far more cheer than he usually displays. Even more strangely, he's not doing it from his room, rather, he's sitting in the lobby, tuning his guitar]

So, have you guys ever experienced massive gaps in your memory? Is that a thing that happens here? Because I woke up to all these boards over my windows and a dark and miserable room, and noooo idea how that happened. Seriously, it was like someone died in there. There's also this really weird suit in my closet. It's pretty fancy guys, but where would I even wear a thing like that?

So, Zelos what the heck happened last night? My memory's kinda fuzzy after going into Insolitus. Is that what Insolitus does? Just gives you some weird selective amnesia? I think I vaguely remember you and the weird accent guy chanting something about spring?

[There are a couple more twangs on the guitar]

Anyway, that weirdness aside, I was thinking of checking out the town today. Maybe this time I can get a buyer, you know? I'm pretty sure I've got the right jingle this time.

That's what I'm talking about, broseph. And it's all been free, which should make you happy.

[whichwayyoulean]

Well that's good, 'cause it's not like you can pay for it yourself unless the castle gives you pocket money.


...Does the castle give you pocket money?

[bezazzled]

I think if you ask it nicely it does. But wishing is off-limits for me, remember?

[whichwayyoulean]

...You are? Why? [Once-ler stop you will confuse the child]

[bezazzled]

I told you. My friend told me to cut back on it because it's bad.

[whichwayyoulean]

Uh. My memories are really fuzzy right now, totally flaked on that.

Anyway, wishing is great.

[bezazzled]

[what]

Yeah, I think so too! I mean, why shouldn't we just wish up whatever we want? That's what it's there for, right?

[whichwayyoulean]

Exaaaactly.

It's like having a super specific, magical room service in your hotel room.

[bezazzled]

I guess what he doesn't know won't hurt him. It's not like I'm gonna go crazy or anything.

[whichwayyoulean]

There you go! I promise not to tell a soul.

[bezazzled]

Yeah!

[This is a great plan.]

Well, I'm gonna go now that you've seen I am alive and well. You, er, enjoy the sunshine? [STILL KINDA WEIRD]

[whichwayyoulean]

I will do, you enjoy your day, kiddo. [So weird]
