[concasse]

[Sanji's at the bar probably with the rest of the village, holed up in a corner for a decidedly good portion of the evening/night, well after this mess. Catch him when he's depressingly sober, moderately drunk and pissed, or in the middle of destroying what's left of his kidneys.

He'll get home eventually. Somehow.]

[Now that is a feeling that Selphie can understand. She reaches and pats Sanji on the shoulder.]

Bad week, huh?

[And she's putting it mildly.]

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I understand.

[concasse]

[Sanji doesn't quite acknowledge either statement save for what looks like a grateful smile, turning back to his shot of gin. No fancy drinks for him tonight.]

How was your week? Didn't you come back from a mission?

[selphie_t]

Two in fact. Seems like they enjoy rewarding hard work with more hard work.

[There just might be a slightly sour look on her face about that.]

Eh... maybe the second mission wasn't so, so bad.

[concasse]

One right after the other?

Maaah, I'm sure Selphie-chan handled it no problems. What did the shits have you do?

[selphie_t]

Yup. Guess I'm just lucky like that.

[She didn't have to go through the Valentine's experiment so she didn't really mind it.]

One week of combat testing without magic and then a week of data entry. Nothing I couldn't handle.

[concasse]

That last one sounds pretty damn boring.

[selphie_t]

[She shrugs her shoulders at that.]

It wasn't that bad. You get to learn stuff about other worlds.

[concasse]

Aa, in that case... [His smile picks up]

Maybe it won't be such a pain in the ass, whenever I get an assignment.

[selphie_t]

Yep! That's how I feel about it too. They work you to the bone though and you've got a droid on your ass all the time but otherwise, I'd do it again if they wanted me to.

[concasse]

Don't they hand out rewards or some shit like that, too?

[selphie_t]

Mhmm. It's in my room back at the house. It's a CD player and some CD's to listen to. Oh! They record music on them and you can listen to it with the player.

[concasse]

Hooo... sounds exactly like the tone dials back on my world. [He holds up his hand, gesturing with the other the approximate size] You press a button and it records whatever it hears.

[selphie_t]

[Tone dials...? Wait a sec...]

So it's an answering machine then?

[concasse]

... Maybe?

Is there a difference between that and this CD player?

[selphie_t]

I'll bring it by Seventh Heaven sometime and let you listen to some songs sometime.

[concasse]

[Heh, she really doesn't have to go far... then again, he decides not to fight the offer]

I'd appreciate it, Selphie-chan~! Thank you.

[selphie_t]

You're welcome, Sanji.
