Who: Everyone who works at Seventh Heaven
What: Staff meeting!
When: Afternoon of Sunday, July 1
Where: Seventh Heaven
Summary: As previously mentioned, it's time for all the employees of Seventh Heaven to get together and have some time to talk. Team building. Bonding. Complaining about Sanji's language Whatever.
Rating: This would be the weirdest staff meeting ever if sex or violence were involved. There will probably be swearing, though, considering who will be there.

It took a while, but Yukito finally persuaded Sanji that getting all the staff together for a meeting really might be a good thing. Or maybe Sanji just doesn't care enough to say no. Whichever it is, this afternoon Seventh Heaven is closing its doors for a couple of hours so that the staff can socialize without being interrupted by work.

There really isn't much on the agenda for the actual meeting meeting, unless someone wants to bring up a suggestion or complaint or something, but everyone is encouraged to stick around and talk once it's over. To this end Yukito has set up a table with some food and drinks, because, well, Yukito believes that food is always welcome, and they are sort of in a restaurant. Sanji gets to run the meeting, though, so go to it, boss.

[[ooc: I figure there will be one main thread for the meeting part (since I don't expect that will take a lot of time) and then people can wander and mingle in their own threads if they'd like. Let's give everyone a chance to talk to people they work with!]]

[Ah...she hadn't meant to touch upon something so personal. Her eyes soften apologetically as she listens, trying to imagine that for herself. It sounds like a warm memory.]

I never got the chance to cook when I lived with my Father. When I started living at the College there was no need or opportunity for me to learn more than the basics.

[He wants to scoff lightly at that - of course there's a need to learn more than the basics! But ah, that's just his chef's heart talking, so he keeps it to himself. He looks back at her]

The College?

[thebellthatbinds]

'Wyverley College, established in 1642 for young ladies of quality'.

[Sabriel recites from memory and gives Sanji a small, almost embarrassed smile.]

I've lived there since I was five.

[concasse]

Eeeeeeh...

So it's sorta like a place for schooling?

[thebellthatbinds]

It is a school. We live there year 'round, except for the girls who have family to stay with over the summer.

[concasse]

Aah, I see. I wonder if we've got anything like that back on my world. [Sanji never went to school, that's for sure.]

So you went to see your father every summer?

[thebellthatbinds]

Not quite.

[Sabriel glances down at the table for a moment, taking a sip of her iced tea. She wasn't the only girl at the school who had to stay over the summers with little contact from their families but...it had always been a little lonely.]

Father came to visit me at the school for the mid-winter and mid-summer holidays but otherwise I stayed there.

[concasse]

... Oh. [Now he feels like the one who's encroached on a shaky subject, and shifts his way in subtle guilt] Sorry, Sabriel-chan...

[thebellthatbinds]

[She shakes her head and gives Sanji a small smile.]

Father's job was very dangerous, it was too dangerous for the both of us for him to visit me for too long and for me to stay with him.

We kept in touch though so it wasn't too lonely. And I had my friends that I've known for most of my life with me too.
