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.]

[Ocean - Age 15]
You can't laugh if I tell you.
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Ocean - Age 15]
You know how we're growing up fast, right? Every night, I get these... [How to describe them? His eyebrows furrow in thought] These weird, shitty dreams. Or I think they're dreams.
But whenever I wake up, I know things I don't remember practicing here. [And to demonstrate, Sanji pulls his figure into an offensive position, one leg brought up, and delivers a series of rapid kicks fast enough to seem like one blur of motion. He's a little winded when he finishes, but pleased, despite the anxious way he looks at his own legs]
I was gonna practice some of the moves here...
[Ocean - Age 15]
That's amazing, Sanji! Why would I laugh?
[Ocean - Age 15]
I just thought it was kinda strange. Useful, but. [A lighthearted shrug]
[Ocean - Age 15]
I haven't learned anything near as impressive as that, but I'm definitely...picking up strange but useful stuff.
[Ocean - Age 15]
And stuff like what? [Tell hiiiiiiiiiiim. >.> Not that he'd ever force her to answer. That said, Sanji looks genuinely interested]
Can you fight too?
[Ocean - Age 15]
[And with a deft flick of her fingers, a familiar comb comes into view balanced on the tip of her index finger.] This yours?
[Ocean - Age 15]
Shit, did I drop it?
[Ocean - Age 15]
Nope. I stole it.
[Ocean - Age 15] 1/2
... You stole it without me noticing?
[Ocean - Age 15]
You're a pickpocket!?
[Ocean - Age 15] 1/2
No! I'm just a thief!
[...yup 8|]
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Help I need a facepalm icon.]
[Ocean - Age 15] 1/2
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Let us watch the young chef hop scotch from conclusion to conclusion]
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Ocean - Age 15]
In that case, stealing from shitty pirates is just returning the money where it belongs, right?
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Ocean - Age 15]
... >.>]
So. What's the biggest thing you've stolen so far? [What? He's curious!]
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Really. 8|
Not that Sanji is the first person she's stolen from or anything.]
[Ocean - Age 15]
Aaah. And is Nami-chan planning on developing this skill?
[Ocean - Age 15]
[Ocean - Age 15]
At least don't get caught, alright? [He'd hate to have to kick someone's ass for getting angry at you.
Except not really.]
