yolonceler: (GOLLY GOSH)
[If you know anything about the Once-ler (aside from the whole herbicidal dick thing), it's that he loves music. His childhood dreams of being a rock star were crushed a long time ago, but he never truly gave up. Music was more than one of his various career ventures. It became a part of him. Then the Thneed happened, and music was shoved aside. His muse died, and no number of fancy guitars could bring it back.

So he gave up.

At the Keep, The Once-ler isn't busy at all. He's never had more free time in his entire life. He's been aware of the bower for quite some time now, but has made it a point to avoid it. Sometimes just thinking about music is enough to upset him, and taunting himself with the sight of instruments is extremely counterproductive. But now he's forced himself into the bower, forced himself to tune an acoustic guitar and strum a chord or two. Or four. Or six or eight or ten. Maybe an obscene amount of free time is all you need to get your muse back. If you'd like to stumble across a guy that seems far more giddy than any man should, this is your chance.

[So. Rebellion. Uprising, whatever you wanna call it. The Once-ler hasn't been here a while, but even he knows that fucking around where you don't belong is a Bad Idea. That, and he doesn't particularly care for the whole danger thing. Getting injured in any way, shape or form is not very high on his to-do list, never was, so you know what? He's going to stay away from this whole rebellion-uprising garbage and hole up in the clothier's tower until everything blows over. Yeah, that's a good idea.

In the meantime, he's just going to kick back, light a cigar and wait for Rapunzel.

yolonceler: WHY??????????????? WHY THIS (GIDDY)
[The video is shaky because the Once-ler is running. Him? Running? In his abysmal condition? Wow! Something must be important. Looks like he's in the barracks right now. He's looking as serious as he can, but sometimes his mouth twitches like he wants to grin from ear to ear.]

Hey, who runs the garden? Tends to it, I mean? In the courtyard-ish thing? Because I need to plant something, and I need to plant it now. [Alright, he's being melodramatic. But it is important. This truffula seed just can't wait.] Please respond ASAP, and I mean ASAP. [He lets himself just smile for a moment.] God, wow, happy birthday to me. [Back to looking serious as a serious thing (which is not very serious at all).] Aaanyway, I'm gonna wait there, okay? Just... I'll be there.

[End.]

[The Once-ler emerges from the barracks (accompanied by a coughing fit, as he was running, and running does not agree with his damaged lungs), after a rather amusing freak-out when he noticed that he was not in his office. He is met with the sight of the Green. The Green, with its growing grass and budding flowers and… and nature. It's the landscape the Once-ler used to know, sans the truffula trees—but this is enough.

He glances skyward. It's blue, a radiant blue, with puffy cumulus clouds drifting about here and there. The light is bright, so bright he puts on his sunglasses, but there's… no sun? That makes about zero sense. He shakes his head and turns his attention back to the Green. He crouches down and tugs off one of his gloves. His hands are shaking, just a little bit, and they don't stop even when he commands them to. The Once-ler presses his palm down into the grass. The feeling is giving him some pretty unwanted flashbacks to when the truffula forest was full and lush. The world was a nice place to be, and you could take a deep breath without coughing up a lung.

He might as well be four years back in time.

So, if you want to see a tall, well-dressed man wandering around the Green with tears on his face, this is your chance.
