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.]

[Hughes, an eleven-year-old is going to totally beat you up one day. Totally.]

But you just met me! [this is not how friendships work, sir]

[Don't be ridiculous, kids love him, that would never happen!]

...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?]

[Small though he is, Sanji is starting to sense that Hughes is not an adult you can shake off. So much damn optimism buuuuuuurns]

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;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-02-27 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[You would sense right, young fellow.]

...You sure you can find a way back? [He so does not want to be the one to burst your bubble, kiddo.]

[Sanji shakes his head a little, at that. It's not a sign of dismissal; Hughes is simply asking the wrong question, in the child's mind.]

I have to. I don't belong here.

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-02 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think any of us really do. [Here comes that tone of adult wisdom!] But maybe we're all here for a reason. You, too.

[Yeah uh-huh. Have that tone of childish skepticism]

And what reason is that?

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-04 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sees your childish skepticism, and he will raise you one pat on the shoulder.]

Well, that's the big mystery. No one really knows yet.
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - look at this shit)

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanji pivots on his heel and starts walking backwards, specifically so he can grace Hughes with a twenty-four/seven expression of disapproval. He's gonna have wrinkles by the time he's fifteen]

That's as good as no reason!

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-06 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Dude, stop looking so upset. It's not good for you at such a young age!]

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.
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - you smell funny)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-06 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
But I know a lot about myself already! [Nag nag argue argue. It never ends. He glances behind his shoulder briefly to make sure they're still going the right way. Somehow Hughes managed to rope this child into doing what he wanted, go figure]

I'd rather learn about other stuff. Like cooking. [pause] Or other islands. Stuff like that. Oh! Maybe Devil Fruits...!

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-06 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Just as planned. He sort of has a way of doing that.]

Well, who says you can't learn about those things here? [Okay, sure, teasing a bit. But it's a fair point!]
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - what)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-06 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... [Curses, foiled. He doesn't have an immediate answer to that, and it shows]

Well, I'd rather learn them back on the Baratie.

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-06 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Hughes: 1, Sanji: 0.]

Why don't you tell me more about it? Baratie, I mean.
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - got my goal in my sights)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-06 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, a topic Sanji will never tire of. He perks right up]

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.

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-06 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's right. See? This isn't so bad.]

A floating restaurant, huh? Aren't you worried about capsizing or anything? [He's sure they're not, but he wants to hear his take on it.]
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - what even--)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, actually...]

It's always a possibility. [The boy's face turns oddly grim] You can't really predict how angry the sea will get.

[And then he shrugs] But it's a risk everyone takes because we all love being on the sea. [That's good enough reason for him]

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. :| Well, there you have it.]

I suppose it takes a certain kind of person to spend so much time out on the water. Were you born by the sea?

[Digging for back story? Ayyup.]
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - you smell funny)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-09 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Adult!Sanji will have your hide later, Hughes. B| But this child is more than willing to talk about this stuff; it's not important enough to hide]

No. I was born on some island in North Blue. My parents just died when I was really young. [He can't remember their names. Or faces. The memory brings no hurt with it] So a ship took me on as a cooking apprentice!

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-09 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[...But that's just so sad. He makes it no secret how he feels about families and parents being able to be with their children.]

And they became like your new family, I take it? [At least, he hopes so.]
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - something's going down)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-10 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
... New family...? [He hadn't thought of it like that... and unfortunately, Hughes, Sanji's about to take the mood down another notch]

Yeah, I guess. [His gaze slowly hits the ground] But they're gone, too. They didn't survive the storm.

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-12 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[...But he's so young. So young, and he's already lost so many people important to him?

It really is heartbreaking. Even if these are memories far in the past of the normal Sanji.]


What did you do then?
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - nothing to say)

action;

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-12 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Zeff is gonna teach me how to be a chef. [A fact that usually fills him with pride - and does still - but considering the conversation he's having with this man, it's hard to feel anything but loneliness]

We built the Baratie two months ago, after-- [There's an abrupt pause, and then Sanji just shrugs his shoulders] Stuff.

action;

[personal profile] ex_affability656 2012-03-13 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He's curious, but he feels bad asking the boy go into more. So he'll leave well enough along this time.]

Well, I'm sure you're going to be a great chef. [And he's not just saying that because of the things he's heard, honest!] Why don't you tell me more about Zeff?
lil_eggplant: (10 thru 12 - come at me bro)

action; 1/2

[personal profile] lil_eggplant 2012-03-13 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
He's annoying. [Omg Hughes you don't even know. LET HIM EXPLAIN IT TO YOU, complete with wild hand gestures] He kicks me a lot and always calls me "eggplant" - [He's getting worked up just thinking about it, and throws down a stamp of the foot] I'm not some little kid! And my food is just fine! [Maybe a little unpolished, but it's not "shitty" like he claims.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]
