003↠ ACTION/VOICE -- Chibi free for all
[ooc note: Okay, here's the deal, folks. Rather than create two posts for chibi!Sanji and risk losing my tags (because it would happen, trust me), this is the only entry I'll put up. I'm going to leave it up to you what age Sanji will be when your character(s) run into him. I put out the scenarios, and you guys run with them. |D Don't be afraid to be creative, I don't mind. Just mention the age in the subject line. If you want more than one chance to tag, create another thread, and specify the new age. |D Easy, yes? Possible ages are 11 through 20. Possible dates are February 3 through the 12. I am fine with either voice or action, though if it's voiced, it'll be assumed your character contacted Sanji through the journals first.
Ladies who volunteered to be crushed on! The applicable ages for that are 14 and up. But of course, you can interact with a younger version of Sanji if you want.
And also, bear with me on the icon front. >> There are plenty pictures of Sanji as a child and an adult, but not much in-between. U-use your imagination? ;A;]
[Nights have been rough so far, with strange dreams lingering on after his eyes have opened. And it makes him feel... different, somehow, like his life has altered in leaps and bounds. Skills that weren't accessible before, come to him easily. There are recipes in his head that shouldn't be there. He almost wishes he could tell someone about them; maybe one of the crew, eventually. They're nice enough, and have been more than accommodating, taking him in like this.
These thoughts are heavy to carry, but he's still a young boy suddenly trapped in a weird town with weird things. His attention isn't meant to dwell on problems for long. The goal to find Zeff eventually lessens to a dull ache, and Sanji busies himself with exploration: this Seventh Heaven restaurant, for one, and maybe the grocery store. He visits the item shop on a the fickle whim of a curious child, and eventually finds his way to the forest. He won't run away, though. He promised himself he wouldn't try anymore.]
[And in just a few days, Sanji finds himself forced to leave adolescence behind. It's more than a little obvious that something isn't right. While the crew has probably mentioned the nature of experiments, all the explanations in the world aren't gonna make this any less awkward, as he speeds through growth spurts and into sore, lanky limbs. He's grumpy half the time, flustered as well... which seems to happen like clockwork, whenever a pretty girl is nearby. He spends the majority of these days as red as a tomato and resorting to petty insults if it will get people out of his hair. When it gets hard to control, he seeks solitude to practice stretching and single-sparring. Or perhaps Nami. She's going through the same thing, too.
House 6 and Seventh Heaven are still his main places of solace. He considers himself a worthy enough cook by now, though he will often yield to Yukito's directions. He's broadened his explorations, however; he heavily frequents the forestplains, and will use the teleporters to sneak off to the ocean, when he feels like it.]
[Given enough time, the strangest of circumstances stop being strange, and turn into a compromised status-quo. Sanji barely gives any attention to his nightly dreams now - they come and he changes, both mentally and physically. His temper is still hot as ever, but slowly being tempered by a knack for cunning and kindness. Even his initial anxiety around women has all but disappeared - he eagerly greets them now, with what the residents might note to be his usual enthusiasm. Still rough around the edges and prone to silliness (or hormone spikes), but that's Sanji for you.
He knows the entire village layout, and you can find him anywhere: item shop, grocery, clothing store, battle dome, forest, ocean... He finds a reason to visit them all because sometimes, it's easier walking blindly, even when you don't really have a place to go to.]

[Outside Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Nor does he seem to either notice or care that if he sits up there for much longer he's going to make Yukito late to return to the kitchen. They'll be all right in there, and he likes to take the opportunity to watch the full moon.]
[Outside Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
The teen!chef gives the older man a five minute grace period before prowling outside. He's not angry; just determined to find him. And the first step is jumping on the roof for a better view.
He just didn't expect anyone else to be there. The shock nearly sends him tumbling back on the ground.] O-oi, I'm so--
[...
Is that an angel? He's just going to. Gape. A lot]
no subject
Undoubtedly Sanji is looking for Yukito, since it's probably past time he returned from his break, but Yue gives no indication of knowing that. He simply allows the silence to stretch for several moments before finally speaking.]
Yes?
no subject
You're-- [Really pretty-- Oh shit, wait, is that too bold to say? Maybe he should go for subtlety so she doesn't get pissed at him]
Are you an angel?
[Yep. Subtle]
no subject
[All right, he's ever so slightly amused by this. Not that he'll make it readily apparent, of course, but at least he isn't being as distant and unfriendly as usual. Yue gives a slight flick of his wings before drawing them in against his back once more.]
Though I can understand the confusion.
no subject
At least rather than dwell on it, he pushes forward, determined not to screw this up. How often do you get a chance to converse with an awesome chick who has wings?]
... You're not cold, are you? [He should offer a jacket to her, right?]
no subject
No.
...are you?
no subject
N-no, I'm fine! [If she's not cold, he's definitely not cold.] I was just looking for-- [pause] A friend of mine.
... But he can wait.
no subject
[There's a touch of condescension in his voice as he says that; oh you humans and your mortal frailties.]
1/2
no subject
no subject
There is something wrong with that?
no subject
... so what were you looking at? [Sanji hopes that obvious subject change wasn't too obvious, and turns away so he can save some face here]
no subject
[After studying Sanji for a moment longer Yue turns away as well, looking up toward the sky again. As he does his wings spread slightly, perhaps in an unconscious gesture, but one that still happens to shield the young man from the worst of the chill breeze.]
I was watching the moon.
no subject
Did you watch the moon a lot back on your world?
no subject
[It feels a little odd to be so... conversational with the boy, even though he's Sanji. Or was. Or will be. However it works. Yue falls silent for a moment, then lifts his wings slightly in a shrug of sorts.]
We're connected, after all.
no subject
You mean... [He trails off, not sure how to finish that sentence and not wanting to sound stupid if the answer is obvious]
no subject
My power is of the moon.
[His gaze lowers from the moon above to the glow in his hand, then closes his fingers again and dismisses it.]
no subject
... But does this mean your power disappears when the moon sets?
no subject
no subject
No, it doesn't.
no subject
[Yue glances sidelong at Sanji with a slight shift of his wings.]
Shouldn't you be inside?
[Who's cooking if you're out here and he's keeping Yukito away, Sanji?]
no subject
[He jumps back to his feet, having bent over into a crouch somewhere in the conversation, and he nearly falls off the roof] I still gotta find Yukito!
no subject
[Of course he has no idea who that might be. None whatsoever.]
no subject
Do you know him?
