I'm still kinda new around here, so sorry for asking about this, but... This whole "loss" thing. Some of them are only temporary, right? And then people go back to normal?

How long do you have to wait for that?

[savors]

It depends. Some last for a few days, but some have lasted weeks.

[findatree]

No, it can't be weeks!!

[savors]

It might not be. One of your friends?

[findatree]

[he's not sure how to classify the Once-ler]

Kind of.

sob I am so sorry for slow tags ;A;

[savors]

Kind of..

How does that work?

it's all good :)

[findatree]

He's more like... my grandpa.

[savors]

Oh.

He'll probably be okay.

[findatree]

I hope so.

[savors]

You said you were new, right? How long have you been here?

[whichwayyoulean]

This again? Don't worry, it's just a little glitch in the memory or something, I'll be fine.

[findatree]

I'm just asking. It might happen to me next and I want to be ready.

[whichwayyoulean]

[ Suspicions mounting. YOU ARE STRANGE FUTURE BOY AND YOU SPEAK OF THINGS THAT CAN NOT BE]

Uh huh. Anyway, they can last anything from a few days to a few months.

[findatree]

[he lets out a groan] That long?

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh come on, it's not even that bad.

[findatree]

How can something called a "loss" not be bad?

[whichwayyoulean]

Well, I don't feel all that bad?

[findatree]

But you still lost your memory.

[kungfuwitch]

They're all temporary. Well, except for our permanent losses. As far as how long? Well... that really depends. Some last a day some last a month or more.

dictated

[findatree]

But a month is too long! [typical kid]

[kungfuwitch]

I know, I know. The best thing you can do is be supportive and keep an eye on them until they're back to normal... and try not to tease them too much when they are.

[findatree]

Okay. [an excuse to stalk the Once-ler is cool by him]

[kungfuwitch]

I'm Phoebe Halliwell. What's your name?

[findatree]

I'm Ted Wiggins.

[kungfuwitch]

Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you, Ted. Once-ler's told me about you, actually.

[she pauses] He's the one you're worried about, isn't it?

[findatree]

Yeah. He went back to the beginning of his story, when he was making thneeds. That went really bad back home.
