warnings: implications of xenophobia

When you finally said Yes to a date with Sakusa you had an inkling it would get fancy, but not “five star rooftop restaurant” kind of fancy. The sushi place was hidden, out of sight of tourist attractions and other major travel spots, giving it an air of “if you know, you know”. Sakusa was a regular.

His considerate gesture of sending you a link to the restaurant’s dress code a week before the date, only sent you into a panic spiral. You never owned a dress even close as fancy as was required and even if you had the money to afford one, Japan didn’t exactly cater to a foreigner’s chubby body type. Only after nearly losing your mind did you find a place at the other side of Tokyo that rented dresses that you could barely fit into and with half a month’s rent now clinging uncomfortably to your squishy tummy, you met Sakusa outside your apartment on a Friday night.

“You look gorgeous.”, he said with a small smile, opening the passenger door to his car. With your tongue tucked between your lips for concentration you accepted his hand to help you inside. The dress didn’t exactly allow for much movement.

You chatted about your day at work as he drove and he invited you to his next game before you even reached your destination. He handed his car keys to a valet and offered his arm to lead you inside.

In the elevator you made sure to smooth out any wrinkles in your dress, real or imagined, and gasped when the doors slid open.

The atmosphere was intimate and calm. Over the quiet hum of voices you could just make out the sounds of traditional Japanese music and smartly dressed waiters brought mouthwatering, jaw-droppingly beautiful designed plates of sushi to the tables. Floor to ceiling windows allowed the patrons an unobstructed view of the city lights.

“Sakusa-sama.”, the lady at the reception greeted him with a professional smile, “Welcome. Please follow me.”

You saw her hesitate for a moment when she finally noticed you, but led you to a table in the corner of the restaurant. You held your breath when you sat down, the ride was already a challenge for regular breathing and you had no idea how you were supposed to fit any food inside you with the restrictions of the dress. But you didn’t care when Sakusa smiled at you.

“Thank you for coming.”

“Thank you for inviting me.”, you beamed.

A waiter appeared at the table and said with deeply faked apologetic tones, “I’m very sorry, sir. But it seems we cannot serve you tonight.”

Sakusa raised an eyebrow, then glanced at you, then back to the waiter.

“This is not going to be an issue.”, he said coolly, then turned his attention back to you. But the waiter didn’t leave.

“Sir, we will have to ask you to come back another time.”

“Please explain it to me. We are right on time, we are appropriately dressed and I made reservations.”

“Sir-“

Sakusa glared at him. “Please tell the chef that if he has any issues tonight to come tell me himself.”

And with that the waiter poured some water into the empty glasses before you, bowed and left.

You looked after him thoughtfully and took a sip. It happened before that you were turned away from restaurants due to a “no foreigners” rule, but you didn’t think that such an issue could arise at a place like this.

Sakusa smiled again and steered the conversation back to lighter topics, making you feel at ease within seconds. You were about to inch your hand closer to his when another person came to the table. He was undoubtedly the chef, dressed as he was. The waiter stood a little behind him.

“Sakusa-sama.”, the man in the spotless black uniform began.

“You’re not serious.”, Sakusa couldn’t help but scoff.

“Please understand that we are not able to provide the full service to foreigners.”

“She speaks Japanese.”, Sakusa informed them, “And even if she didn’t, I would translate for her.”

The chef shifted a little, throwing some kind of glance in your direction that you couldn’t quite interpret.

“We won’t be able to accommodate any dietary restrictions, Sakusa-sama.”

“I don’t have any.”, you said with a strained smile.

The chef was quiet and looked at your date imploringly. He held his gaze, then Sakusa quietly pushed back his chair and stood up.

He offered his hand to you.

“Thank you. The water was delicious.”, you said sweetly to the waiter who avoided your eyes.

“I can’t wait to tell everyone about your hospitality at my family’s next gala.”, Sakusa added with a cold smile and gently pulled you along, past a few gawking people to the elevator.

When the doors closed and the sounds of the restaurant disappeared, Sakusa let out a long sigh.

“I’m sorry.”, he said, leaning his back against the paneling, crossing his arms.

“Don’t worry about it. I think that’s about as much exposure as I would ever need to a five star restaurant.”

He chuckled. “The next one will be better, I promise.”

You smiled and went to stand next to him, lightly brushing your shoulder against his to cheer him up. The elevator began its slow descent.

“Bet you can’t wait to get out of that dress.”, he noted, then his eyes widened a moment later, “Wait, I didn’t mean it like that.”

You laughed. “You’re not wrong actually. Breathing does not come as a standard with this one.”

He considered you for a moment.

“Turn around.” He said it gently. More as a question than a demand.

You blinked in confusion, then did as he requested.

“Don’t be alarmed.” He stepped closer, his breath brushing against your neck.

You felt his hands work on the zipper on your back.

“What are you-“, you began feebly, your voice not quite having the grasp on your vocal chords like you would have wished.

He slowly ran the zipper down, the buttons by your nape holding the dress together but you felt the immediate relief around your tummy.

He shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over your shoulders.

“There. Better?”, he asked. You nodded, your heart still beating too fast to turn around without revealing the intense blush on your cheeks.

The elevator came to a stop and the automatic voice announced you arrived at the lobby.

“Your bra is pretty.”, he said quietly, almost whispering it into your ear as the doors opened.

You followed him silently through the lobby, holding onto the jacket’s lapels.

“You still hungry?”, he asked when the cool night air brushed your faces as you waited for the valet to get his car.

“Starving.”, you admitted.

He grinned. “I know just the place.”

People stared but Sakusa couldn’t care less.

He rolled up the sleeves of his black button down and offered to trade you a chicken nugget for some French fries.

Could we please have Terry body worshiping or just worshiping Beloved in general. Thanks :)

Nyotaimori. (女体盛)

He observed the practice in Japan back in the 80's and beforehand too, as far back as the 70's, in Korea; From Onsens to corporate company afterparties behind closed doors he frequented in high end Tokyo afterhours before the turn of the millennia. The act of being on display and the nude form being used as an artistic canvas for serving food presented on sanitized leaves on sufficiently flat areas of the physique while the subject lay perfectly still, not interacting with any of the patrons under the strictest traditional decorum. It translated to body sushi. Nantaimori (男体盛り) its male equivalent. Terry hums in contentment at the etymology as he observes the fish rolls and seaweed covering your nipples, forming an immaculate pattern. A handful of supple fruit, berries and black grapes in the crevice where your tights touched, forming a v-shape. Bamboo leaves and rose petals covering your legs riddled with circles of lined up fresh fruit, a colorful mosaic of Julienned Daikon raddish and thinly cut stripes of salted Anago eel and yellow melons. A fragrant, tiny, softly cooked, partially caramelized peach in your mouth, balanced carefully between two lips, serving as a makeshift, edible gag in a room filled with lit candles and a red tinted hue. A single red cherry adorning your bellybutton like a shimmering ruby. He never allowed any of his chefs to arrange this. His waiting staff. No catering service under the sun he could pay for in The Valley and beyond. They never laid a hand on you. Never saw you like this. He did this, all of it, personally. Laying you down. Undressing you. Decorating you. Washing you beforehand, not missing a single nook or cranny on your skin.

Doing so for himself. By himself. For his eyes only. For his taste buds.

Terry was both the artist and the consumer tonight.

Chopsticks long since forgotten and entirely discarded, Terry deliberately chooses to proceed ahead with a silver fork at his own leisure as he's seated in front of his very own spread on a table that is both the place of dining and your bed and he eats, savoring the Shizoake and the spiced rice served on your thigh, a single tiny round ceramic dish of soy sauce to dip his rounds into on your knee. Was there ever a better plate? -"In 2005, China outlawed this. Can you believe it?"- Custom demands that he don't speak to you but he supposes he can't resist, even though he knows you can't and shouldn't respond, the peach in your mouth standing as hindrance. He has to chuckle into his own chin, amused at the anecdote he was about to regale. -"It never ceases to amaze me how some people just don't know how to live."- He proceeds, shaking his head with a smile, the tip of the fork carefully impaling itself on a handful of Sashimi, making contact with your skin enough to pinch as he places the bite into his mouth, chewing. Content. Watching your body still. He washes the residual food down with a quick shot of Whisky. -"Not like us."- He adds tenderly, looking at you even though your gaze was firmly pinned to the ceiling from the position you were laying down in, your head resting on other end of the table, feet facing his torso. Each toe adorned with a ring of pineapples. You could hear him. Oh, you could hear him, even though you couldn't exactly see. -"We're so good together. So perfect."- He coos, leaning down, until his mouth was brushing against your smallest finger alongside his tongue, devouring the fruit crowning your toe, leaving the slickness of his saliva behind.

Kissing the aftermath.

You were delicious.

The most delectably delicious morsel Terry Silver's ever tried.

2024-09-15: Episode 15 (Stadium Tour)

Original airdate October 7, 1992

Episode Synopsis

After some brave whistleblowers and activists stood up to Boris Ozonevich and SynCorp, Ozonevich and SynCorp lost out on a lucrative business contract. In retaliation, Boris Ozonevich and his minions modified the Fresno football stadium (Go Falcons!) overnight to turn it into a mobile fortress. The stadium has been outfitted with a bunch of telescoping legs, each about 3 stories high when fully extended, so that it can rampage through the city and destroy buildings while blasting 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready For This" over the stadium speakers until his demands for a renegotiated contract have been met. The gang must spring into action to sabotage the stadium and bring Boris to justice, but the stadium is full of Boris's minions (many of whom are dressed in absurd sports mascot uniforms to add an air of unpredictability to the fight, so they have silly but effective mascot skills like dodging and sliding).

Episode Sponsor: 1-800-HINT-GUY

When you're stuck on a level in the newest video game, call 1-800-HINT-GUY to get help! Unfortunately for parents everywhere, this was not a free service. It relied on children calling the number and parents finding out about the call on the next phone bill. Calls were billed at 50 cents a minute, and an avid game renter might rack up quite a hefty phone bill for their parents if they asked for help too often. Because of this predatory marketing, commercials for the service were pulled after a little more than two years after pressure from parent lobbying groups.

Notable Episode Feature: Sushi Center (Location)

On the highest level of the stadium is the press box, and that's where Boris is commanding the stadium from. It's an enclosed area that is located next to (and only accessible through) a small food court that produces catered sushi. It's called Sushi Center, and the sushi chef (Yamamoto-san) is the miniboss of the area; he knows karate, has a sword he uses to cut up the sushi, and also controls pufferfish poison. However, Sushi Center also has several tactical features that the gang might find useful: woks that can be used as shields, gas ovens that can spray fire, and a freezer filled with huge blocks of ice that can be broken to create temporary difficult terrain or used as slippery sleds to make combat more dynamic.

As much as I complain about being lonely, I do have to admit that I have the best boss/job ever.

I’ve been working part time at this acupuncture clinic that primarily focuses on women’s health and fertility for the past…. 5 years I think? Meaning that I’ve watched and helped this company grow into a successful safe space for the women in our area. We take a lot pride in providing care for our moms and tbh educating them about their own bodies! Bc! As a society! We don’t focus on women’s health! A lot of the tips and advice you hear about health caters mostly to men. Women’s bodies are in constant flux due the hormones, cycles, pregnancy, menopause, PERI Menopause, ECT! … and buddy… everyone’s body is unique on top of that. It’s easy to get lost.

Women/period having people need to have medical practitioners who share their struggle in existing in these bodies. Bc who else would understand or be better at guiding them? Anyway!

Our boss treats us (5) to sushi almost every Wednesday. (We actually treat the woman who owns the sushi biz down the street from us too so 😂 it works… she sometimes joins our sushi meetings lol!) During these sushi meeting we’re constantly looking for ways to improve not just our business practice but the ways that we can make it easier for women to have access to our info and services. Women need these third place spaces. Places to hang that’s not just about work or being alone at home. We’re trying to foster a community here.

And if they can’t afford it well… our boss gives low income folks a hefty %80 percent discount if they need it. Because everyone deserves care!!! I’m really proud to work here. I really am.

Chapter 1 - Table of Consent -

Chapter 15: Ruffled

The first 180 days of your 365 days to organize Buggy's grand dream had gone by in a work-crushing haze. There hadn't just been a lot to do, there had been enough work for three of you. You ended up ordering around even Buggy for assistance as things had started to come together.

Buggy hadn't come into things halfway, but he didn't have the organizational and coordination background you did. So he had a bunch of really well documented ideas that needed to be sorted and implemented.

The more effort that was put into things at the start, the less effort would be needed to maintain it. Buggy had given you leave to be a demon, and so a demon you were. Even Alvida had been hesitant to approach you on a couple of occasions. Some of it was knowing what needed to be done, some of it was needing things to be done in a precise way, and some of it was your own rage.

Your heartache had turned to grief, your grief had turned to anger, and the anger had fueled your energy for work.

The worst part about your anger was that you weren't angry at anything. There was no place for the rage to go. You couldn't be mad at the dating site, it functioned on algorithms and sheer luck. You couldn't be mad at Crocodile, he had acted within the parameters you had agreed on. You couldn't be mad at yourself, you did your best. You couldn't be mad at the Marines, though you found some part of you had become very antagonistic toward them lately, but they had just been doing their job.

So you released your anger into reports and schedules and tried to shield everyone around you from it. Some leaked out - Buggy suggested that you needed to be a little less flashy at one point, but that was before one the biggest deadlines you had all faced at that time. Once the hurdle has been overcome all of you managed to relax a little.

Buggy's Delivery Service was becoming a reality.

180 days after that you were a month past the grand opening, and most of your work had been in smoothing out the few untested practical hiccups that you had been expecting to be a lot worse than they were. You had meant to praise Buggy, Alvida and Galdino for their assistance, and instead they had thrown a surprise party for you. Donut shop coffee and grocery store sushi - you had been almost existing on the combination due to your long hours.

Once you had admitted you were okay with it they had brought out the real feast - catered professional sushi and an array of beverages.

It was the first really good day you'd had in almost a year.

360 days, and Buggy forced you to take the next 5 days off before you moved from your Demon Role to your Internal Coordinator role. He had wanted you to take a month off and the two of you had gone back and forth until you conceded to five days.

Home still had memories in it, and you didn't want to spend more time with those memories than you needed.

The first day you had been home all day there was a knock at the door. Something about it left you feeling nostalgic, but you weren't sure why until you opened the door.

Looking down you see a small package with a folded note on top of it.

You dart out into the hall and look for someone, anyone. You needed to grab Miss All Sunday and wring answers from her, someway, somehow. You wanted to vent your anger at her even if you didn't know why. Even if she didn't deserve it.

You wanted your pictures back.

There was no one in the hall, and looking over the rail of the hallway there wasn't any movement out in the yard or lot. You swore under your breath as you grabbed the box and went back inside.

Opening up the letter your legs nearly buckled.

A gift for you To express my deepest regrets.

Sincerely, Doffy

Suddenly the innocuous box was disturbingly sinister, and you weren't sure you wanted to open it. It was phone box shaped, and it didn't feel any heavier or lighter than you expected a box with a phone in it to feel.

If he wanted to blow you up, or murder you, then there probably wasn't much you could do about it.

You open up the box and there's another note folded up on top of a phone that looks very similar to your own. You feel apprehension knot your muscles, a cold chill settling into your stomach. Suddenly, you don't want to know what the note says or what the phone holds.

You decide to get out of the entrance hall and go sit at your desk in your room. Setting everything down, you open the letter to a bunch of technical-looking jargon.

GPS != ✅ SIM != ✅ Inverse controls =control !=analog ✅ File directory protocol [1Ra-4Le-5Re-5Li-?%e-1La] encrypt lock ✅ Passcode = Suwani Data protection = ✅

Aside from the exclamation marks, everything else is typed. Below all the typed information were a series of letters: YDSNDWSSMRGND

"What kind of spy bullshit is this?" You grumble as you look over the note so many times your eyes start to cross.

You pick up the phone, if for no other reason than to look at something different for a minute and choke on a gasp as the lock screen lights up.

It's an image of Crocodile, but he's not at his desk. He's in prison clothes, leaning against a cinder block wall. There are bruises on his face and blood from cuts. Despite the state he's in, there's confidence in his eyes.

Or maybe you're just seeing what you want to see.

The image brings up all the pain of the first day, and for a few long moments you're sobbing at your desk. You're torn between the painfully sweet feelings in your heart and the tempting salvation of moving on. Part of you never wants to tempt the Fates in love again, and part of you wants some prospect of future warmth to be able to bring you comfort like you had before.

After you manage to compose yourself, you tap on the Lock Screen and input "Suwani", and the phone unlocks.

There are Xs across the top of the screen where the mobile data usually is, and the time is glitched out. That makes some of the stuff on the note make sense, since it looks like the GPS and SIM card are disabled. Everything else appears to be intact, as you flip through the pictures you took, the videos, and even find the original image of Crocodile at his desk, that Miss All Sunday had set as your Lock Screen.

All your memories were back in your hand.

The hard question was, did you lose yourself in them, or did you bury them? If you held on to a past that was already a year cold, how long would you last?

You still miss him terribly, but you hadn't even heard from Miss All Sunday all this time, and if Doflamingo had returned this phone to you, the secretary might not even be alive anymore.

What kind of world had you been getting ready to fall into? Maybe you would try a typical dating site, looking for a Librarian or an accountant. Security guard for an elementary school - someone with a mind-numbingly normal life.

You put the phone and note in your desk drawer and forgot about them.

. . . . . .

After your five days off you went into work and settled into your new, preferred role of Internal Coordinator. You hadn't opened your desk drawer in all that time, except to turn the phone off entirely to conserve the battery. You did find yourself looking at it a couple times, but after a decent night's sleep you had decided to move on. This was your new life and you had to make the most of it.

"(Y/N)! Good morning!" Buggy called out as he walked into the office. You were the only one who was generally in before him, though today it was only by five minutes instead of a couple hours.

"Happy Monday, Boss." You reply with a smile, getting up and walking with him into his office. "I have a meeting with the division leads in an hour, and after that is the pulse check with the IT team. You said I needed time after lunch for something?"

"Yeah, I want you to help coordinate the investors. I got them all together at 2pm today, and we'll do introductions. Nothing flashy, but you can put names to faces and they can introduce themselves." He explains, biting into an apple. "After that we can do the level set for the week?"

"Yeah, I can't do it before I sit with the leads, so it'll have to be more of an end of day thing anyway." You agree. "But that works, it also gives me time to coordinate with Alvida and Galdino about this new hire, Ritchie."

"How's the numbers?"

"I only just got here," you laugh, pulling the report up on your work phone. "I promised I wouldn't keep pulling 15-hour days, so give me one moment." You tapped away at your phone for a minute and pulled up the report. "85% - that's up from the 79 I saw last I looked. Pretty good uptime for our staff so far. I'd like to see it hovering around 93%. If we go higher than that we'll need to start hiring more delivery hands."

"Is that accounting for time off?"

"Yeah, and I padded two days to take sickness into consideration. We already had four in there for injury, so we've probably over-padded a bit, but this avoids any nasty spikes in availability." You commented, continuing without looking up. "The 40% downtime pay was a brilliant idea; it's certainly going to keep us competitive."

"I want to hit 60% as soon as we can." Buggy reminds you.

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten. We just don't have the revenue yet. We will though, if these trends keep up, and as long as our investors don't get impatient about seeing returns." You assure him. "Something I can remind them about when we meet later."

You separate from Buggy and go through your day, meeting with the division leads and checking in with the IT team. You grab a quick lunch from a nearby café, and kill a bit of time until you meeting with the investors. Before you meet up with Buggy you take a few minutes to check your appearance in the women's room – you're not overly concerned, but you want to make sure you look neat and sharp for your first impression.

It's hard enough to corral a bunch of rich people as a woman, there's no reason to give them things to nitpick.

You came to Buggy's office just as he was stepping out to find you, putting you both at the doors. You stepped into his office a single step before you paused.

"Gentlemen, please give me just one more minute." You say evenly, grabbing Buggy as you step back out and close the doors behind you.

Buggy looks completely confused before you finally wheel on him, hissing your words even though you'd rather yell.

"What in the absolute fucking hells is Donquixote Doflamingo doing in that room Buggy?!" You demand, grabbing him by the collar and almost shaking him. "He wasn't on the list!"

"He's on the list! He's on the list, look – look." Buggy holds up a list and you scan the names quickly.

"He's not—wait, is he this 'Joker' entry?"

"Yes, yes he is."

"Buggy."

"Please-don't-kill-me."

You take in a breath and let it out slowly. "I'm not..." you let go of him and pinch the bridge of your nose. "I can't coordinate him."

"... That ... may be a problem."

You look up to the ceiling. "Why would that be a problem, Buggy."

Buggy takes a couple steps away from you before answering. "Part of his agreement upon becoming an investor was that you would be the coordinator for the investors."

"That seems like the sort of thing you talk to me about first, Boss." You growl the words, even as you're trying to calm down.

"He just said you had done such a good job for him during the auction, and I didn't think anything of it since you were going to fill that role anyway." Buggy explains. He's talking fast, and about to reach the screeching stage of his anxiety.

"Take a deep breath, Boss." You say, and you find your voice sounds as calm as you want it to. "Let's just get through this and worry about things after."

You turn back toward the office and walk back in. "My apologies for the wait, I'm Miss (F/N) (L/N), and I'll be coordinating your needs and concerns going forward. If we could do a round of introductions, after which I will provide an update on our current numbers and we can level set on expectations and returns."

You had looked around the room as you spoke, taking in each of the investors in turn. The last eight words out of your mouth, you made sure to look at Doflamingo as you spoke.

Buggy's Delivery Service was becoming a reality.

180 days after that you were a month past the grand opening, and most of your work had been in smoothing out the few untested practical hiccups that you had been expecting to be a lot worse than they were. You had meant to praise Buggy, Alvida and Galdino for their assistance, and instead they had thrown a surprise party for you. Donut shop coffee and grocery store sushi - you had been almost existing on the combination due to your long hours.

Once you had admitted you were okay with it they had brought out the real feast - catered professional sushi and an array of beverages.

It was the first really good day you'd had in almost a year.

360 days, and Buggy forced you to take the next 5 days off before you moved from your Demon Role to your Internal Coordinator role. He had wanted you to take a month off and the two of you had gone back and forth until you conceded to five days.

Home still had memories in it, and you didn't want to spend more time with those memories than you needed.

The first day you had been home all day there was a knock at the door. Something about it left you feeling nostalgic, but you weren't sure why until you opened the door.

Looking down you see a small package with a folded note on top of it.

You dart out into the hall and look for someone, anyone. You needed to grab Miss All Sunday and wring answers from her, someway, somehow. You wanted to vent your anger at her even if you didn't know why. Even if she didn't deserve it.

You wanted your pictures back.

There was no one in the hall, and looking over the rail of the hallway there wasn't any movement out in the yard or lot. You swore under your breath as you grabbed the box and went back inside.

Opening up the letter your legs nearly buckled.

A gift for you To express my deepest regrets.

Sincerely, Doffy

Suddenly the innocuous box was disturbingly sinister, and you weren't sure you wanted to open it. It was phone box shaped, and it didn't feel any heavier or lighter than you expected a box with a phone in it to feel.

If he wanted to blow you up, or murder you, then there probably wasn't much you could do about it.

You open up the box and there's another note folded up on top of a phone that looks very similar to your own. You feel apprehension knot your muscles, a cold chill settling into your stomach. Suddenly, you don't want to know what the note says or what the phone holds.

You decide to get out of the entrance hall and go sit at your desk in your room. Setting everything down, you open the letter to a bunch of technical-looking jargon.

GPS != ✅ SIM != ✅ Inverse controls =control !=analog ✅ File directory protocol [1Ra-4Le-5Re-5Li-?%e-1La] encrypt lock ✅ Passcode = Suwani Data protection = ✅

Aside from the exclamation marks, everything else is typed. Below all the typed information were a series of letters: YDSNDWSSMRGND

"What kind of spy bullshit is this?" You grumble as you look over the note so many times your eyes start to cross.

You pick up the phone, if for no other reason than to look at something different for a minute and choke on a gasp as the lock screen lights up.

It's an image of Crocodile, but he's not at his desk. He's in prison clothes, leaning against a cinder block wall. There are bruises on his face and blood from cuts. Despite the state he's in, there's confidence in his eyes.

Or maybe you're just seeing what you want to see.

The image brings up all the pain of the first day, and for a few long moments you're sobbing at your desk. You're torn between the painfully sweet feelings in your heart and the tempting salvation of moving on. Part of you never wants to tempt the Fates in love again, and part of you wants some prospect of future warmth to be able to bring you comfort like you had before.

After you manage to compose yourself, you tap on the Lock Screen and input "Suwani", and the phone unlocks.

There are Xs across the top of the screen where the mobile data usually is, and the time is glitched out. That makes some of the stuff on the note make sense, since it looks like the GPS and SIM card are disabled. Everything else appears to be intact, as you flip through the pictures you took, the videos, and even find the original image of Crocodile at his desk, that Miss All Sunday had set as your Lock Screen.

All your memories were back in your hand.

The hard question was, did you lose yourself in them, or did you bury them? If you held on to a past that was already a year cold, how long would you last?

You still miss him terribly, but you hadn't even heard from Miss All Sunday all this time, and if Doflamingo had returned this phone to you, the secretary might not even be alive anymore.

What kind of world had you been getting ready to fall into? Maybe you would try a typical dating site, looking for a Librarian or an accountant. Security guard for an elementary school - someone with a mind-numbingly normal life.

You put the phone and note in your desk drawer and forgot about them.

. . . . . .

After your five days off you went into work and settled into your new, preferred role of Internal Coordinator. You hadn't opened your desk drawer in all that time, except to turn the phone off entirely to conserve the battery. You did find yourself looking at it a couple times, but after a decent night's sleep you had decided to move on. This was your new life and you had to make the most of it.

"(Y/N)! Good morning!" Buggy called out as he walked into the office. You were the only one who was generally in before him, though today it was only by five minutes instead of a couple hours.

"Happy Monday, Boss." You reply with a smile, getting up and walking with him into his office. "I have a meeting with the division leads in an hour, and after that is the pulse check with the IT team. You said I needed time after lunch for something?"

"Yeah, I want you to help coordinate the investors. I got them all together at 2pm today, and we'll do introductions. Nothing flashy, but you can put names to faces and they can introduce themselves." He explains, biting into an apple. "After that we can do the level set for the week?"

"Yeah, I can't do it before I sit with the leads, so it'll have to be more of an end of day thing anyway." You agree. "But that works, it also gives me time to coordinate with Alvida and Galdino about this new hire, Ritchie."

"How's the numbers?"

"I only just got here," you laugh, pulling the report up on your work phone. "I promised I wouldn't keep pulling 15-hour days, so give me one moment." You tapped away at your phone for a minute and pulled up the report. "85% - that's up from the 79 I saw last I looked. Pretty good uptime for our staff so far. I'd like to see it hovering around 93%. If we go higher than that we'll need to start hiring more delivery hands."

"Is that accounting for time off?"

"Yeah, and I padded two days to take sickness into consideration. We already had four in there for injury, so we've probably over-padded a bit, but this avoids any nasty spikes in availability." You commented, continuing without looking up. "The 40% downtime pay was a brilliant idea; it's certainly going to keep us competitive."

"I want to hit 60% as soon as we can." Buggy reminds you.

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't forgotten. We just don't have the revenue yet. We will though, if these trends keep up, and as long as our investors don't get impatient about seeing returns." You assure him. "Something I can remind them about when we meet later."

You separate from Buggy and go through your day, meeting with the division leads and checking in with the IT team. You grab a quick lunch from a nearby café, and kill a bit of time until you meeting with the investors. Before you meet up with Buggy you take a few minutes to check your appearance in the women's room – you're not overly concerned, but you want to make sure you look neat and sharp for your first impression.

It's hard enough to corral a bunch of rich people as a woman, there's no reason to give them things to nitpick.

You came to Buggy's office just as he was stepping out to find you, putting you both at the doors. You stepped into his office a single step before you paused.

"Gentlemen, please give me just one more minute." You say evenly, grabbing Buggy as you step back out and close the doors behind you.

Buggy looks completely confused before you finally wheel on him, hissing your words even though you'd rather yell.

"What in the absolute fucking hells is Donquixote Doflamingo doing in that room Buggy?!" You demand, grabbing him by the collar and almost shaking him. "He wasn't on the list!"

"He's on the list! He's on the list, look – look." Buggy holds up a list and you scan the names quickly.

"He's not—wait, is he this 'Joker' entry?"

"Yes, yes he is."

"Buggy."

"Please-don't-kill-me."

You take in a breath and let it out slowly. "I'm not..." you let go of him and pinch the bridge of your nose. "I can't coordinate him."

"... That ... may be a problem."

You look up to the ceiling. "Why would that be a problem, Buggy."

Buggy takes a couple steps away from you before answering. "Part of his agreement upon becoming an investor was that you would be the coordinator for the investors."

"That seems like the sort of thing you talk to me about first, Boss." You growl the words, even as you're trying to calm down.

"He just said you had done such a good job for him during the auction, and I didn't think anything of it since you were going to fill that role anyway." Buggy explains. He's talking fast, and about to reach the screeching stage of his anxiety.

"Take a deep breath, Boss." You say, and you find your voice sounds as calm as you want it to. "Let's just get through this and worry about things after."

You turn back toward the office and walk back in. "My apologies for the wait, I'm Miss (F/N) (L/N), and I'll be coordinating your needs and concerns going forward. If we could do a round of introductions, after which I will provide an update on our current numbers and we can level set on expectations and returns."

You had looked around the room as you spoke, taking in each of the investors in turn. The last eight words out of your mouth, you made sure to look at Doflamingo as you spoke.

5 Creative Ideas for Corporate Events That Will Impress Your Clients

Organizing a business event that wows clients without breaking the bank can be quite a task. Creating original concepts that are both innovative and polished is crucial. Discover 5 budget-friendly corporate event ideas that will captivate attendees.

Hire an Event Planner

Bringing in an event planner for corporate events takes the stress out of coordinating complex gatherings. An expert planner handles venue booking, catering, technical requirements, scheduling, and vendor management. This lets you focus on networking and client relationships without worrying about event execution.

This section suggests hiring an event planning professional as an impactful idea. It elaborates on the benefits of this approach in two sentences aimed to convince readers of the value.

Host Engaging Workshops

Interactive corporate workshops make for memorable events compared to standard presentations. Consider workshops facilitating team-building activities, professional development sessions, or forums to exchange business ideas. Attendees will appreciate participating and connecting over shared interests relevant to their work.

The next creative idea centers on workshops rather than passive activities, using vivid language to paint a picture of potential workshop themes. The final sentence drives home the participant value of this concept.

Feature Live Food Stations

Live Food stations that serve freshly prepared dishes add excitement and anticipation to corporate events. People come together to socialize as chefs demonstrate their culinary skills by making dishes such as sushi rolls, customized pasta, and freshly cooked dessert crepes. The experience is delightful with its sights, sounds, and aromas.

This section offers live food preparation stations as another fun thing to add to an event. It tries to show how appealing it is to experience by using physical details and language that is focused on action.

Incorporate Carnival Elements

For a dose of lighthearted fun, incorporate carnival games for events like bean bag tosses, skeeballs, or photo booths. Consider including ballots for prize drawings featuring your company’s products. Attendees will enjoy tapping into their competitive spirits while getting hands-on with giveaways.

The next idea recommends carnival-style activities as unexpected additions that induce playful energy at corporate gatherings. Specific game examples aim to spark readers’ imaginations and interest.

Feature Interactive Craft Activities

Break up mingling with craft activities for events tying into your company or clientele. For example, tech conferences could feature building gadget prototypes with provided tools and materials. Law firms may provide supplies for attendees to assemble model courtrooms. Get creative with DIY projects suiting your industry niche.

This concept proposes crafting activities that can be customized to suit readers' businesses. These activities can serve as interactive event components and give attendees memorable takeaways. These examples make you think about how this idea could be relevant to different industries.

Conclusion

Planning corporate events involves pressure to impress valued clients, partners, or employees. However, affordable and reliable event planner Aiyo Events makes coordinating imaginative gatherings simple through turnkey service handling every event detail. Contact our team today to bring your next corporate vision to life.
