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.]

[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?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
We even raced to the stars once. He won.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
How the hell do you race to the stars?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[It's a simple circular motion of his hands that activates the first glowing blue interspatial door. Since it's late at night, and the rest of the house is asleep, Yugo doesn't do anything flashy, he just steps through--
and arrives standing on a chair behind Sanji with a small thud, the other portal having opened there.]
How's that?
[House--Night--Age 13!] 1/2
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Whoa, you weren't kidding!
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Can you do anything cool?
[House--Night--Age 13!]
There was time I kicked fire at someone, but that wasn't because I did it. The filial spirit Eferin helped me.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Eferin helped you kick fire? [was Sanji really a Pandawa in disguise?]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
He's kinda an asshole, but I think he likes talking to me.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
That...doesn't sound too hard.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Uhm...[He knew who Eferin and Nala were from reading the journals, but...] What do you mean by '-san?'
[House--Night--Age 13!]
It's like an expression of respect. You use -san for people you don't know or who are ranked above you in some way.
There's -sama, too. And -chan and -kun. -kun is for guys, and -chan is for girls, usually. You use -sama for someone who's extremely important.
Stuff like that.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
It's just easier to talk to them normally. Why don't you? [He speaks to Kings as if they were his direct peers--such a concept is very foreign to him.]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Besides, it's not complicated when you've done it your shitty whole life. [shrug] ... Not that everyone uses them. Stuff like this depends on the person.
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Do the Spirits want those to be used when talking to them? [because this is important to know!]
[House--Night--Age 13!]
Mmm... I dunno. [The boy scratches at his chin] They never said. But maybe that's because I used them from the beginning.
