[concasse]

Who: Sanji, Nami, Zoro, and probably the rest of the SH crew at some point.
What: Mallynaps Suck
When: February 2nd, probably some time in the evening.
Where: The foot of the mountains. House 6 later.
Summary: Nami and Sanji are kinda chibified. And stranded in the mountains. Luckily, a certain swordsman with a wonderful sense of direction is there to take them home. >_>
Rating: PG-13 if you include Sanji's mouth. He started early.

Aaaah, good idea!

Are you a fan of cooking, by chance?

[Heeeeeh. Hey, she doesn't pry about things often! This is a nice chance to learn about the guy who is totally giddy over her daughter. :|a]

GDIT MY TYPOS B|

[lil_eggplant]

Oh, yeah! [You sly dog. B|] I'm a chef! [Chef, chef-in-training - it's practically the same thing]

I've been cooking for as long as I can remember!

huehuehue

[mikandelinquent]

Really? [a whistle, as she pats and tussles his hair affectionately. You're pretty cute, kid. |D] Mmmm, that's perfect! Then you're the best man for the job, aren't you?

Let's go get some supplies and start working our butts off.

[lil_eggplant]

[GAH HAIR RUFFLING... but then she called him a man.

Bellemere is free to do whatever the hell she wants from now on]

Right! Is there a grocery store nearby? [All thoughts of fleeing have completely left his mind. Instead, Sanji looks ready to tear through Luceti on his mission for supplies]

[mikandelinquent]

That's right! A grocery store where you can get whatever you'd like, without needing to pay or anything. Sounds pretty cool, huh?

[lil_eggplant]

... Really? [He stops short, taken aback by such an alien concept]

... You're sure? [he doesn't wanna get labelled a thief because someone got their information crossed.]

[mikandelinquent]

Positive! I've been here for months, y'know. Never once has anyone paid anything for their food. We don't have any sort of money system here, or anything like that!

[lil_eggplant]

Oh. [Weird-ass place. Sanji starts walking again]

So... people work for free here? [Do they work at all? He feels like a basic law of the universe has been breached]

[mikandelinquent]

Basically, yeah. When people feel bored they get a job.

Pretty strange, isn't it?

[lil_eggplant]

Huh...

What do you do then, Bellemere-san?

[mikandelinquent]

Me? I take care of the orchards--the mikan ones, not too far off. They need some tender love and care, right? Fruit are important for people's diets.

[lil_eggplant]

Yeah! They are! [He looks impressed by her job description] We get a lot of mikan shipments at the Baratie, too!

[mikandelinquent]

Oh? Are you a fan of them, by chance?

[lil_eggplant]

Uh-huh! I love citrus fruits, but mikans are one of my favorites!

[mikandelinquent]

Hmmmm, I wonder, are you just saying that to get on my good side~?

[huehuehue trollface]

[lil_eggplant]

[B| Scowlface]

Why would I do that? [Chibi!Sanji has not yet matured into the self-blown idiot that is his adult self.]

[mikandelinquent]

[She laughs softly.] Because boys tend to tell me things I wanna hear to get on my good side. You're not one of those sorts, are ya', though?

Better keep up, Sanji.

[oh yeah btw I'm walking now |Db]

[lil_eggplant]

Of course I'm not! [Ack, he lengthens his stride so he can stay in tempo with her speed]

I don't care about girls. [Which, he notes immediately after, sounds downright rude. He winces and chances a glance at her] I mean, they're okay. Nami's really nice. [Pause] You are too!

[mikandelinquent]

[SQUISHES LOVINGLY AGAINST BOOB]

You're too cute!! It's too bad you don't care; I bet you could have 300 little girlfriends with that face of yours!

[lil_eggplant]

[asdfghjkl; f-flail!]

O-oi! [Lady, don't suffocate him.] I'm not cute!

[mikandelinquent]

Mm?

Something wrong with being cute?

[lil_eggplant]

It's-- [It's not manly, or synonymous with being an adult, is the problem. But he's not sure how to express this, and so glances down at his feet]

I don't have time to be cute, or a kid. [His arms fold]

[mikandelinquent]

Hey now, I wouldn't think like that if I were you. Being a kid can be really precious time you won't get to have back as an adult. [She pats his shoulder.] In a lot of ways, I grew up way too fast. It's some of the things I regret most.

[lil_eggplant]

[He glances up at her, both skeptical and maybe a little sad for certain reasons]

Well I can't go back thinking like I did before. [And that, to him, was a child's mentality. It's not a matter of if he should or not; the boat's already sailed]

[mikandelinquent]

No, you don't have to think the same way you did before. But it doesn't mean you have to grow up all the way. Right?
