Part 2: Dining Room

Sanji was raised to be a gentleman, and he’d consider it rude if  he didn’t greet the host first, no matter how many of them there are. 

“I think I should say hello to Luffy first,” he says to Bon-Chan, “You said he’s in the dining room, correct?” 

“Of course,” they reply with a bright smile and a laugh, “He and his brother always have trouble waiting for the dinner part of dinner parties, and end up hanging out there until the food is ready.”

Sanji wasn’t aware Luffy had a brother, but then again, their only interaction had been a very brief and chaotic affair. Still, he’s very curious about them both, and heads off to the room Bon-Chan indicates. 

The dining room is a large, magnificent space, with a huge wooden table in the middle of it big enough to seat twenty. He notices, however, it’s only set for seven, with the fine china carefully arranged on the end closest to what he assumes is the kitchen. There are cabinets circling the room from floor to ceiling filled with more dishes, and huge windows behind the head of the table, the rain pattering quietly against them.

There’s a large chandelier hanging above the table, along with a young man in a straw hat swinging from it.

Luffy, he recognizes immediately. Their host for the evening.

He’d met Luffy only a few days ago, when he’d been working on a case. He’d been hired by a chef to find out if their recipe had been stolen by a competitor. He’d found himself in the alleged thief's kitchen with Luffy — why he was there was anyone’s guess — and ended up feeding him while he figured out if the spice combination in this restaurant’s curry was exactly the same as his client’s. 

Luffy had been enamored with both his food and his stories of past cases, at least until the cops showed up to chase them both out for trespassing. But he’d insisted he come to his dinner party, scribbling down his address on a nearby napkin and refusing to leave until Sanji took it and promised him he’d be there. 

Now, watching him swing so recklessly from his own chandelier, Sanji is starting to have second thoughts. 

“He’ll be fine up there,” a calm voice says nearby, “Don't worry about him. He’s a tough one.”

Sitting at the table is a slightly older man with a smattering of freckles and a charming smile. 

Sanji can feel a blush on his face as he offers his own smile in return, “You’re his brother, I presume?”

“You got it,” the man laughs and holds out his hand, wincing a little as he shifts, but he quickly hides his pain, “The name’s Ace.”

“Sanji,” he says as he shakes his hand, “Sanji Black.”

“Sanji, huh?” Ace raises a brow as his eyes rake up and down him, and Sanji tries his best not to fidget under the attention, “You know, you look an awful lot like that famous detective, Mr. Prince.”

“Yes, they call me that,” Sanji nods and smiles, “But I wouldn’t say famous. I just help out where I can.”

“You solved that kidnapping in Marineford a few years back, right?” Ace tilts his head and flashes a charming smile, “That wasn’t nothing. Don’t sell yourself short.”

“I…” Sanji clears his throat, flustered by the praise from an attractive stranger, but says sincerely, “Thank you.”

There’s a loud crash as Luffy jumps down from the chandelier, landing on the table not far from them. Luckily both he and the sturdy table look no worse for the wear, both seemingly accustomed to the reckless behavior.

“That was fun,” he laughs, his bright gaze and sunny smile landing on Sanji, igniting him from head to toe, and he suddenly remembers why he agreed to come in the first place, “Sanji! You made it!”

“Of course,” Sanji smiles easily back at him, “Sorry, I seem to be a little late, and soaked, but thank you for having me.”

Luffy hardly seems to care about the state he’s in, launching himself at Sanji and wrapping him in a tight hug, making Sanji blush even harder. 

“I’m so glad you're here,” he laughs in his ear as he pulls away and turns towards his brother, “Ace, he’s the guy I told you about, the one with the curry.”

“The chef?” Ace chuckles, his smile wide and pleasant, “Luffy, you’re selling him short! He’s a world famous detective!”

“World famous is a hell of an overstatement,” Sanji scratches behind his ear, embarrassed by the praise. 

“Oh, really?” Luffy turns his wide, pleased gaze back to him, “That’s pretty cool! But you’ll still make me that curry again if I want, right?”

“If you’d like,” Sanji says with a laugh, once again getting swept up into Luffy’s pace, “But perhaps some other time. I’m sure your chef already has a meal planned for tonight.”

“Yeah!” He says with a little jump in the air, “It’s gonna be great! I can’t wait to eat with everyone! Oh yeah, that reminds me.”

Luffy dashes off to the other side of the dining room, stopping near the kitchen door. 

“That’s Luffy for you,” Ace says with a fond smile on his face as he watches his brother, “Always on the go. Never a dull moment with him around.”

There’s an open seat next to Ace, pushed out slightly as if waiting for Sanji to sit in it, but Luffy’s glancing back at him as well, as if waiting expectantly for him.

oh okay heres one:

"sleepaway camp"= you go there for at least a few days, a week, sometimes several weeks, and sleep there, as opposed to a """camp""" where you go for the day and your parents or whoever picks you up afterward (those arent really camps, but like. idk when i went to "space camp" it was a weeklong but not sleepaway). in the U.S. at least, the typical image of a sleepaway camp involves staying in cabins, dunno how common it is/what it looks like in other countries.

for the first few i just mean like. not necessarily a stealth church camp, just like. idk, a camp where theres also an Assumption Of Christianity and just general vibes without being actually church camp. So, there might not be daily services and jesusy dedicatwd activities, but maybe theres still a prayer said over meals and shit. Which i assume might exist...

(oh and @reblogforsamplesize if u wanna)

i was thinking about sketching this morning (as in, artists with sketchbooks and the practice of sketching just for fun or as practice with no intent of turning said sketches into a "finished piece")

and it got me thinking about writing, and how it simply would never occur to me to work on a story/scene/etc that i had no intention of turning into something that i would post as a finished work

**to be clear, i'm not talking about deciding to abandon a wip or working on a wip that i want to eventually finish but don't know if/when that would happen, i'm thinking specifically about writing with clear, up-front intention that i won't ever 'complete' the piece or polish it for the purpose of posting/publishing

for the people who have read my fic “give all the best to you” (again)

[mislamicpearl]

Had fun with the previous poll so I wanna do another one. Since Lloyd and Sora lost last time let's give them another chance:

(Note: this is not a shipping tournament, this is based purely on how much you enjoy the relationships and canon interactions between the characters)

Would you be more likely to donate to Palestinian fundraisers if I gave anyone with proof of a $5 or more donation a traditionally drawn icon/small box drawing of their choice?

This is just testing to see if this would actually help. Details are to be sorted out but the drawings could look something like this in concept for fully colored options.

*This is just a concept in size/style made in less than an hour. The ones I make for donors will likely be a bit cleaner and more planned.*

I can only afford to donate so much, so I'm hoping this could be another way for me to contribute and get involved.

Please reblog this so it gets around to more people.
