Week 0 | Friday

[concasse]

[Given she was one of the people with him in the kitchen, of course Sanji plans to find Monika. Not even because of her... sudden change in demeanor, startling as that had been, but finding a not!dead body and then hearing about an actual dead body isn't good for the mind or the heart.

Especially not for a young lady.

Of course, he's a little surprised to find her seemingly roaming the castle herself, glancing about the foyer like she means on a mission herself. Their eyes meet briefly, and in that space Sanji lifts his hand and waves, a little sheepishly.]

Don't suppose I could borrow you for a couple minutes, Monika-chan?

[...]

Start looking for alternatives.

[Making a broad gesture with his hand]

We're not from the same worlds, according to those goddesses. And if they got the power to take you from one, they probably got the power to shove you in another.

I'm not saying you gotta participate in the killing game, but surviving might be worthy of praise. You never know.

[... Voice gentling some]

The important bit is to keep trying until you get the happy ending you want.

[ Monika doesn't say anything for a long moment, and all at once it'll be clear she's been trying quite hard to rein herself in. Not just tonight, but for days. Maybe since the moment they got here. It's probably why she said what she did in the kitchen today. There's a fine tremble in her hands.

But when she smiles, it's the same cheerful smile she's given him from the moment they met. ]

A happy ending... that's a really romantic thing to think. You have such a kind heart, Sanji.

[concasse]

[Lord, he swears everyone here is just flattering him, though it's Sanji, so he takes the compliment twice as well coming from a pretty face. There's a near bashful laugh as he rubs his neck]

I'm only saying it because I'm wishing for your success, whatever it might be!

[unromanceable]

Mmm, I really like the sound of a happy ending. I think that's exactly what I'm going to aim for. ... thank you.

[concasse]

[He'll smile, though it's... a touch on the concerned side, a small show of worry he can't hide away.]

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'm not worried about what happened in the kitchen. We got plenty of other shit to focus on.

[unromanceable]

[ ... ]

You know, Sanji, I'm curious. What kind of girl do you like?

1/2

[concasse]

-- Eh?

[Wait why is that a question that is happening now--]

I-- uh--

[concasse]

[Wow what the hell happened man, you were almost smooth for half a second]

Choosing between all the wonderful ladies of the world...! Aaah, Monika-chan has put me in a tight spot!

[...]

Well, truth is, I love all kinds! Ladies don't need to be one size fits all, y'know? They're all beautiful in their own way. I figure seeing their own individual beauty is my job as a gentleman~! No lady should go through life not feeling appreciated!

[unromanceable]

Hm.

[ a mysterious smile ]

Well, that's good to know! I'll talk to you later, Sanji. ... thanks again.

[ He'll get a small bow of thanks before she heads off. ]
