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.]

[House--Night--Age 13!]
Yeah, he is. Then again, all of my travelling friends are like family now. We've even given ourselves a name: The Brotherhood of Tofu!
[House--Night--Age 13!]
You named yourselves after bean curd? [He means, Yugo and his friends can do what they want, but that sounds even lamer than the Straw Hats.]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Az, my bird? We call his kind of bird tofu in my world. Is tofu really bean curd to you? That doesn't sound tasty!
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Oh, I get it! And tofu by itself doesn't have much taste, but it retains the flavor of whatever you cook with it pretty damn well.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
You'll need to show me your tofu then, because we don't have anything like that where I'm from.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Do you cook? Maybe we can trade.
Re: [House--Night--Age 13!]
I helped Papa out in the kitchens of our inn back home, and I did work with a baker who won competitions with participants from different kingdoms, so I guess I'm pretty good.
We can definitely exchange recipes sometime!
[House--Night--Age 13!]
And that's pretty cool. [he inclines his head subtly] Does this mean you wanna be a cook when you get older?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[He pauses thoughtfully.] I wouldn't mind cooking for a living, though.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
I guess I'm so used to the idea of cooking, I dunno what else I'd do. [You often pick your career choice at an early age in his world]
... What else would you wanna do?

[House--Night--Age 13!] 2/2
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Really? [Never mind the employment part. Sanji hones in on this "helping people" business]
What journey?

[House--Night--Age 13!]
[He smiles, a cheerful look to hide his lingering unease.] You could say that it's all of what you said, if that makes it easier.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
-- his sister --
He's pretty damn sure he's parsing this wrong, but Sanji asks anyway, head slightly inclined]
The king's sister is a dragon egg?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
It's the same with my brother, Adamai, and I.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
So you're a dragon.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
So your brother's a dragon.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[He checks on the milk and, satisfied with the temperature and the aroma, starts spooning powedered cocoa into two mugs for them.] My brother is a dragon. Is that too strange for you?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Honestly? Sanji just thinks that's cool. It brings to life some of the child-like excitement still with him]
That's amazing! He's a dragon? What's he like? Can you fly on his back?
