Sanji "flaming bullshit" Vinsmoke ([personal profile] concasse) wrote2011-11-04 04:27 am

001↠ Action/Voice

[There is something extraordinarily jarring about finding yourself in a chilled, unfamiliar forest, when two seconds ago you were under the sea, fighting off a legion of crazed fishmen. The blonde man clad in the usual New Feather's garb is none too pleased with this switch once he gathers his bearings, and he sets off in a direction that might be right, straining to hear any sounds of battle, only half-mindful of the journal he hasn't ditched yet. The hows and whys can wait until he's back with his crew.

He'll come across the town, eventually, once a certain child skipping school sets him straight. And it will feel like the longest half hour of Sanji's life, hearing what she says to him -- and once she's safely back home and past her tears, he's going to... head straight to the grocery.

Cigarettes. Need them. Now. He flies through a pack of the damn things before grabbing another, shoving it into a flimsy pocket like it's his last sane lifeline. It might as well be. Navigating back home (...home), along an all-too familiar path, makes his head and chest hurt from the seeping memories.

Heh, what a load of shitty bull. He doesn't want to be here. Except he sorta does. Maybe. And damn, it'd be nice if he could make up his mind.

There will be no such luck today. He goes home, combing the house for available crew members; any kind of anchor and stability. And after that, there's the clothing shop for his suits. Then Seventh Heaven. Then tracking down every person his memory supplies a name for - Xion. Miyabi. Sayo. Katara. Vash. Wolfwood. Isamu. Shit how many are there? - until his head feels too full and he goes to collapse at the bar around evening. Only then does the journal open.]


... Oi. [Fuck, where does one begin? Let's start with a name] It's Sanji. [Pause, and then with tired ire] Guess you shitheads aren't rid of me yet.


[ooc: If you think Sanji would look for your character... then he would probably look for your character. XD So yeah. << RUN INTO HIM ANYWHERE, previous CR or otherwise! He's all over town, and I care not for these things called continuity and time (save for who finds him in the forest - that honor goes to Elicia.)]

[Okay, now he's not laughing; instead, that's a rather startled combination of a yelp and a squawk escaping him right now.]

[And Sanji in response is looking the very picture of smug]

Look at that. [Leaning casually back in his seat, and sipping the last of his beverage] You do know how to stop.

I know how to do a great deal of things. Whether or not I actually do them is another story.

[... yeah, he's too buzzed to even really be annoyed at this point.]

Heh. You're as stubborn as Isamu. [He says it on a sigh. Truth be told, Sanji isn't tipsy at all, though he's warm and less likely to care-- oh wait is that tipsy?

Hm. He'll mull over the possibility when a server comes by with another drink on hand]

The two of us do get along for a reason, after all.

[Richard isn't even thinking too hard about whether he's tipsy or not and frankly doesn't care-- he feels more relaxed right now than he has in quite a while.]

Ain't it a surprise... [... Heh. It really is, to him. Sanji never expected Richard and Isamu's friendship to escalate into something... healthy.]

[personal profile] ledbythewind 2011-12-12 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Healthy? Perhaps on some levels. Codependent? Most definitely. But whatever it is, it's clear that the two of them are inseparable now.]

It is?

[And now it's Richard's turn to look a bit surprised.]

... yes, I suppose it is.

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[And this is why, for the love of God, don't leave Luceti without him. Or vice-versa. Sanji would rather not see one of his friends broken down.

Richard's surprise makes him smirk, then grin unabashedly]


See my point? [You two are a really weird pair]

[Hey--

that's--

... that's not fair, he's too buzzed to think of a good comeback right away.]


It's true that we aren't much alike, but that may be why we get along. He isn't afraid to be blunt with me when it's necessary.

[Which it often is.]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you mean all the time?

[So he went for the obvious jab, when Richard is probably more along the drunken trail than he is. He's a pirate; sue him.]

Exactly.

[Yeah, it's definitely time for another drink. Enjoy your Honesty Hour with Richard, Sanji, because he only gets like this when he's drunk.]

[Action]

[Sanji laughs, partly to himself. And Richard - be glad he isn't tipsy enough to start flinging out dating jokes yet.]

Hn. [He nurses another swallow] So long as you shitheads are both happy, I guess.

[Honestly, Richard wouldn't even be surprised at this point, but his main focus is on flagging someone down for another drink right now.]

Does this mean we have your blessing?

[... or maybe he'll just beat Sanji to the joke.]

I'm already making one wedding cake. What's another at this point?

[He will deny this conversation in the morning.]

You may have to compete with Miss Cheria for that part-- that seems to be the sort of thing she would enjoy.

[As will he.]

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
That so? Huh. [What. What is this? Is he actually disappointed he can't make your theoretical wedding cake?]

Well, maybe you can just have two.

One chocolate and one vanilla?

[He could definitely get behind this plan. That way everyone will be happy! Right?]

[Action]

[identity profile] odastillhatesme.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Now there's an idea! We can swap the colors of the icing - a chocolate cake with white icing, and a vanilla cake with something darker.

[Trust him, friend, he will make your wedding cakes fabulous]

[personal profile] ledbythewind 2011-12-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect. That way there's something for everyone, regardless of which they prefer. You really are a genius, Sanji.

Oh, the cakes are the easy part. Now, the hors d'oeuvres might take more work...
ledbythewind: (Laughing Prince)

[Action]

[personal profile] ledbythewind 2011-12-12 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[... okay, Richard can't help it. The fact that Sanji is taking this so SERIOUSLY sets off another gale of giggles, try as he might to stifle them.]

I wasn't aware that I'd signed up for full catering.

What'd you expect? This is my job. [He will latch onto any chance to cook.

... Even hypothetical ones that are not going to happen]

And you go above and beyond its requirements.

[He's very carefully not going to mention that he was joking about this very same subject with Isamu himself not that long ago.]
