Save yourself, serve yourself | Open
Who: The Once-ler [thneedifestdestiny] and OPEN
Where: In the Shelter
When: The duration of the event, May 15th - 18th
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The Once-ler has to scavenge for food and deal with intense paranoia. Or, as he'd call it back home, a totally normal weekend.
The Story:
[It's a little concerning that the Once-ler isn't completely lost about what to do in an apocalyptic-seeming scenario. Who would even look at the Once-ler and assume he knows anything about surviving anywhere.
First order of business is getting into this vending machine he found. He woke up alone and he hasn't seen a single other person yet, but he did find a heavy broken pipe with a sharp bend in it two-thirds of the way down. Without much hesitation at all, he lifts the pipe up and swings it like an axe and the glass rains down everywhere. The sound of it echos in the otherwise silent hall. Then, once he knocks most of the glass away, he slips off his ridiculously long gloves and starts filling them up with as many snacks as he can fit in them.
Of course this would be the event where he gets caught not wearing his only Thneed before it starts. He could've just knotted that into a bag, but noooo, that would be too easy!
The drink machine is a little trickier, since it doesn't have a glass front, but with a little effort he's able to jimmy it open and he nicks all the water bottles from it. He can only cram a few inside the gloves, but he has a plan. He lays the gloves on the ground with the hands pointing in opposite directions. Then, he ties off the openings (leaving a good amount of room at the end) and ties the two gloves together, elbow to middle finger on both ends. When he's done he has a very, very stupid looking sash, but he also has a way to carry his supplies and keep his hands free...just in case. He uses the remaining fingers to secure two more water bottles to the outside of his sash.
Aside from the dumb sash and the cold weather, he's done all of this before. Long after the Thneed factory was abandoned, he broke into the vending machines in the workers' breakroom and raided them for the last sweets he thought he'd ever have. Back when he was in charge, he wouldn't have even associated with the guy who knew where the keys would be.
If anyone run into him on the first day, he might be willing to share some of his supplies. Try your luck. But, as the event progresses and he grows more and more paranoid of everything and everyone around him, he won't be letting anyone within three and a half feet of him. He's very, very painfully aware that he isn't much of a fighter and he doesn't stand a chance against anyone who tries to come at him with magic, but he sure can swing a lead pipe if he has to.]

[...Except for all the ways where he already admitted that this is totally like his world. Suddenly though, he looks a lot more uncomfortable with her now that he's the one who might get thrown in the garbage.]

Let go of me! Don't put me in the garbage!

It's probably mostly candy wrappers and bottles in there, but who knows, maybe there's some treasure.]
