Eighteen Truffula Trees

[In a very rare moment, the Once-ler isn't in his room. He's sitting in the stables, across from the stall holding his gift from the castle. Not that his gift seems that enthralled to be in the Once-ler's presence. Melvin is giving him a distinctly unimpressed look, and certainly not eating any of the carrots his master is trying to offer him. The Once-ler expected it, really. After all, the mule HAD left him. Just like everyone else. He must be mad as all out to be stuck here with him.

Still, he has some stuff to do today, so leaning back against a beam, he opens his journal]

[Filtered to Martel, Ino, Zelos and Ted]

So anyway, the gifts you got weren't your REAL ones. I got you all something better each, too. I'm in the stables, if you want them.

[[ooc: Open to anyone who wants to go to the stables if you so wish]]

The stables?

[Weird]

Alright, I'm on my way. Don't expect me to be wearing that sweater though.

Yeah. It's that building where they keep horses.

Aww come on, Zelos. Where's your Christmas spirit?

Giving the gift of not blinding everyone by too much red.

And yes, I know. I'd imagine I've been there more than you. [But as you can hear, he's on his way!]

Sorry, your hair already does that, buddy. Hate to break it to you.

Well, I've got a reason to be here for once.

Hey. People love my beautiful hair.

...Something related to the presents?

Good, because I was probably going to punch you in the face.

[LMAO. but she pauses ...]

The stables? [that doesn't sound like the type of place he'd be normally ...]

You didn't find it funny? Not even a tiny little bit?

Yes. Gasp. I'm outside my room. You know, it's really discouraging how you guys react when I finally do this.

It's a pig hat! Of course I didn't find it funny!

[a huff] That's not what I meant. But fine, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Or cute? Come on, it was cute.

Great, see you soon.

[you just get an OVERDRAMATIC SIGH, once-ler. give her a minute and she'll be peeking her head into the stables with a pout]

[Rapunzel has been having, quite honestly, the best Christmas of her life. She'd never gotten so many lovely gifts before... And then there was the reunion with her dearest friend. Rapunzel has spent the day so far showing him around the castle, and now the tour has lead her to the stables, so he could meet some other animals.

She's made a rush to the first stall, but then she stops and does a double take in Once-ler's direction.]

Oh! Pascal, come on, here's someone else for you to meet! [She hurries over, the little green critter on her head clearly sizing up the strange man he's being introduced to.] Happy Christmas, Once-ler!

[Wow what the hell is that even. The Once-ler stares at Pascal for a second]

Uh...you know you've got a frog or something on your head, right?

He is not a frog. Gosh, don't you boys know anything about animals?

[She rolls her eyes, but reaches up a hand for Pascal to climb onto. Then she holds out that hand towards the Once-ler, smiling.]

No... This is Pascal. He lived with me in my tower. He's my best friend.

I think we've already established that I don't.

[The Once-ler leans back a little]

...Why does he look so... judgemental?

[She looks over at Melvin as she speaks to the Once-ler, surveying the... Horse? Donkey? with curiosity.]

Oh, he's just like that with new people. Who's this?

The stables? [What is he doing in the stables?]

But that's good, because I'm delivering your gift in person.

[She doesn't trust you not to do something terrible by accident to it.]

Yes. The stables.

[Oh there's a pause]

...It's not another animal, is it?

...No. Who got you an animal?

[That definitely explains why he is in the stables.]

The castle...I guess.

Melvin's here.

The castle does give gifts every year.

Though you never told me who Melvin is.

Okay, I'm coming. [yay gonna go see the Once-ler]

Great.

[Yes, good, he's missed you favourite person in the world]

Did you like your sweater? [Because obviously Ted is a small child who loves Christmas sweaters and isn't actually twelve at all]

Uhhh. Yeah, it's great! [must not mention it looks like something his grandmother would knit for him]

[Oh Ted, you FOOL]

Great, so you'll wear it when we go to dinner at Ino's. [Yeah, he's dragging you along to that, did he mention that? No? Too bad]

Yeah, okay. [why not? It might still be cold] Where is Ino's?
