[Hello, Luceti Residents.

Guess what? Someone turned Seventh Heaven inside out criminally early in the morning, meaning even the staff will be in for a surprise. There are tables and chairs grouped together in front of the restaurant, shielded from the sun by large umbrellas. That in itself is odd, but the real attention-grabber is how much food some of the tables are holding. Dinner platters, breakfast feasts, desserts, finger foods, and everything in-between - it's all right there, protected from bugs with see-through plastic covers. And right in front of this mouth-watering display is a sign:

Take What You Can Eat.

Really. There's even a stack of plates and silverware, along with some carry-home boxes in case anyone wants to shove their fridge full of leftovers. Dump the dirty plates in a bin off to the side; he his workers will get to it later. And should the gluttons of Luceti lay siege to the feast, no worries; Sanji's captain is Luffy, after all. He'll be replenishing the tables well into the afternoon, along with any other chefs who might be working that day.

Whether you see him inside the restaurant, bustling around the kitchen like a man possessed, or spot him outside restocking the food, everyone will find the Head Chef in a... really good mood for someone who took a few days off to recover from the trauma that is your AU self "dying". He's just all heart-filled smiles and affectionate ass-whooping, depending on your sex.

... Clearly he's gone mad. B|

And then later, journal announcement! Because why not:]

Oi, for anyone who didn't see -- [He turns his journal camera to the food display, sounding exceedingly pleased with himself.] Take what you can eat! There's plenty for everyone. If not, I'll have to make Luffy finish off the rest, and we wouldn't want that. [A-aha]

And for anyone who's interested, I'm looking for another waitress or two, maybe one more chef. [8D] Any help's appreciated, ladies~!

... And I suppose you other guys, too.

[It's a good day for some cookin; So come at him, bros.]

Comments

[concasse]

You met me during an experiment. [He hopes that explains the thick of it.]

That guy you talked with... wasn't really me.

[talentsgirl]

...well, that's awkward.

[She blinks a moment then sticks out her hand.]

Sanji, then? Did I say that right?

[She'll mark that down for her research later.]

[concasse]

["Awkward" sure is a word to describe it. Sanji takes the hand, granting it a firm shake and looking sheepish still]

You did~!

I'm really sorry for the screw-up, Molly-chan!

[talentsgirl]

[Molly retrieved her hand and shrugged.]

More of a mix up than anything. And hey, how many guys do I get to meet twice?

[Charming smile.]

[concasse]

Aaaahn, your graceful words touch the very soul of my heart~! It's an honor to be introduced to you again~!

[talentsgirl]

[...Well, that's different.

...Molly is tempted to flirt more, just to see what happens, but she chooses the better part of valor.

...although she does grave him with a stunning smile.]

So - what was the occasion?

1/2

[concasse]

... [O-oh, is she asking him a question? He'll just. Blink the heart out of his eye and get on that]

[concasse]

All this? Nothing more than a simple gift to the village~! A little reason to smile~!

[talentsgirl]

Well, if you've got anything made with wheat germ, you'll certainly have given me a reason to smile.

[She'll take organic sugar cane and whole grain flower as substitutes, though.]

[concasse]

Wheat germ... [He needs a moment to think, though even while his head tilts in thought, his feet are already leading him in the right direction. Give him another second and then he leaps forward with renewed energy]

Oh yes~! I have some fresh muffins you could try~!

[talentsgirl]

I think I might be able to be persuaded...

What kind of muffins are they?

[concasse]

Strawberry-banana with brown sugar crumble on top. [Here's hoping she's not allergic]
