Twenty Nine Truffula Trees
[It has been some weeks since the Once-ler could play his guitar, the broken ribs he'd received during the Event Horizon mess had made it too painful. But now he's healed enough, he's making the most of it. He's sitting on his clinic bed, his journal open beside him, playing one of the many songs he's learned since arriving here. After he's finished, he lets out a satisfied sort of sigh]
I missed that. [Oh right, open journal] Any requests? I'm out of practise. I can't promise I'll know it, but I'll give it a shot.
[Lucrezia]
[He'd asked for time, and it's what she has given him. He can't fault her for that, so:]
I've still got your birthday gift to play for you, you know.
[Alvin and Blues]
I don't know about you guys, but I think we should give our car a test run. And a name, probably. But given my love for lisping syllables, someone else should probably do that.

[He considers. He should probably make this a convincing lie, in case Cass should track this song down]
That Elvis number. I forget the name of it.

Ah, there's...a lot of Elvish ones.

There are, aren't there? I guess that's why they crowned him the king.
no subject
Ah...no I don't think that's why they crowned him king. Do you at least know the lyrics?
no subject
Then why? I've been doing my best to understand how Earth royalty works, but I've only met Anne so far.
Uhhh something about a wise man.
no subject
No, he's not a king. They simply called him that because he was a huge influence on rock music! He has no standing in royal lines!
no subject
Well, that's kind of stupid. Calling someone a king when they're not actually one.

Really? Why not?
no subject
Because not all, but most of them are spoiled and out of touch with reality. I'm not saying their jobs aren't important, but they can truly be bigger pains in the arse than they're worth.
no subject
You really think so, huh?
no subject
A lot of them aren't bad people just...spoiled.
