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.]

action;
If you wanna.
action;
Alright, Sanji, let's go. Do you remember how to get there? Or the house number, at least?
action;
This way.
action;
...Bet it's strange so many people are acting like they know you, isn't it?
action;
[Y E P]
action;
Still, isn't it nice to have people you don't even know already watching out for you?
action;
I can take care of myself.
action;
Well, I don't doubt that. [There, how's your little ego now.] But Luceti is a strange place at the best of times. It's always good to have a helping hand nearby if you ever need something.
action;
action;
Of course you don't! I'm just coming along because I'm your and Nami's friend. How's that?
action;
But you just met me! [this is not how friendships work, sir]
action;
...All the more reason we should hit it right off the bat with friendship! And I'm sure you'll get along wonderfully with Elicia. [Because everyone does. And here, check out this picture of her building a snowman ajf;lkjasd isn't it they cutest thing you've ever seen?]
action;
I told you, I'm not planning to stay here. Once I find a way to get back to Zeff... [Sigh. Why is he explaining this. The boy makes a face that, for a second, makes him look as scornful as his adult self]
action;
...You sure you can find a way back? [He so does not want to be the one to burst your bubble, kiddo.]
action;
I have to. I don't belong here.
action;
action;
And what reason is that?
action;
Well, that's the big mystery. No one really knows yet.
action;
That's as good as no reason!
action;
That depends on how you look at it. Think of it like a mystery, but at the end you get to learn something about yourself.
action;
I'd rather learn about other stuff. Like cooking. [pause] Or other islands. Stuff like that. Oh! Maybe Devil Fruits...!
action;
Well, who says you can't learn about those things here? [Okay, sure, teasing a bit. But it's a fair point!]
action;
Well, I'd rather learn them back on the Baratie.
action;
Why don't you tell me more about it? Baratie, I mean.
action;
It's a floating restaurant! We just built it two months ago, so it's brand new. Kitchen, dining hall, quarters for a crew when we get one...
It's just me and Zeff right now, but in no time I bet we'll get hundreds of people working for us.
