I love your work!! And your OCs! I must know more about the cap-lers, I’m new to the once-ler fandom ❤️
[OOC] Oh first of all, welcome to the fandom! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)ﻭ I'm new too (since April!) and it's nice to meet new people!
Thanks to you, I'm glad to have the opportunity to explain...
Once-ler : "You all know my wonderful invention, the Thneed! It does the job of a thousand ! But do you really think that all the Thneeds that come out of this factory are made only by the strength of my arms? Ha ha ha! As much as I would love to be able to sell make you all happy personally with my little wonders, I have to rely on my superb family. There are so many of us spread out all over the world!"
Once-ler : "First of all, there is me, the genius inventor, the Onceler-in-chief!
Secondly, there is my close family, which we call "The close circle". I could never have started my business without them.
Then, my personal assistants, Miss O'Schmunsler and Miss Funtzler.
and finally my dedicated Cap-lers!
Hundreds and hundreds of hands ready to help me, devoted to my service and to the service of all the other myself in all the other universes. Workforce, cheap to pay, simple to replace. We are all together for a common interest: profit the interest to make you all happy and to revolutionize the world! So, aren't we a tight-knit family that makes you dream?
The Cap-lers, in addition to having beautiful gloves and head covers matched to MY designs, are involved in various trades: administration, secretarial, cleaning service, delivery service, accountant, chimney sweep, machinists, architects, lumberjacks, harvesters, inspectors, couturiers, AND MORE, so varied are their occupations!
All of them are under the orders of their section chief, who is called: The starred!"
Once-ler : "Ah, my dear starred are basically workers like any Cap-ler who have distinguished themselves by their great merit, their exploits, their performance. A bit like "employees of the month", but year-round since the opening of my wonderful factory.
They received a special reward for their merit: a key to a future home in Thneedville, as soon as it opens!
Ha! I wish I were them!….
… no wait, I don't have to be in their shoes, as mayor I'll have my mansion! Ha ha!"
Once-ler : As I said, Cap-lers are at the service of Once-lers! Everyone, without exception, can ask them for services, a helping hand or tasks, and this for free. (A fee is charged to anyone who is not a member of the Once-ler family!) So, what do we say, Cap-lers?
