Thirty-eighth course [voice]

[notadartboard]

What do you say to someone who shows up here even though you know they're dead back home?

[abrupt question is abrupt, sorry]

'How's it going?' seems like an asshole-ish question in that situation. But you have to say something, it's only polite. Especially if they're going to be hanging around for who knows how long in this place. Eh, not that it

Are you planning to going to school? Never knew.

You know, you having a job is a good thing. I was this close to lay into you about quitting your job. What else are you going to do? Though cooking shows are kind of boring... at least being a head chef somewhere, it was some kind of position of power.

Evening, my dear. It's not for me...I'm way past that age.

I don't need a job when it's a full-time position feeding the crew. So long as there's even one of them here, that's where my time goes.

Feeding your crew mates isn't making you money, Sanji.

[notadartboard]

No, but do you really think I took all the money I made from selling the club and stuffed it in a mattress somewhere?

[maggotbone]

Maybe?

My point is maybe it wouldn't hurt to do something with your time, whether you're financially comfortable or not.

[notadartboard]

I didn't.

Well, I'd like to train more intensely, but the place has gone all quiet. There's not a hell of a lot for a guy like me to fight anymore. Of course, maybe if I shoot my mouth off about that, something will come up.

... let me get this straight. You have money, and all you want to do is get in a scuffle.

[notadartboard]

...yes? [this makes perfect sense to him] Though I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.

[maggotbone]

Oh, well, just trying to see what your plans are if you decline the job. Sounds real productive.

You can't train with Luffy or any of your other friends?

[notadartboard]

Luffy would give me a workout, all right, but I'm concerned he might hold back. He's not exactly the mentor type, if you hadn't noticed. The only way to go all out is to put your life on the line, and as crewmates, we have no intention of killing each other.

[Brow raise]

So you want a fight to the death?

[And here comes the smile]

Oh, wow. Sanji~ Didn't think you had it in you.

video;

[notadartboard]

Most of my fights are supposed to be to the death. The only reason they're not is because a finishing blow didn't need to be fatal. [shush it's perfectly logical] A real pirate expects that death will find him sooner or later, and doesn't run from it.

[This is a side of Sanji she hasn't seen yet, and she's clearly getting intrigued]

In other words, cutting out the long drawn out explanation of testosterone and being able to punch someone in the face, yadda yadda- you want to kill someone?

video; private

[notadartboard]

Want to?

[pausing, smoking]

Not in a bloodthirsty sense, no. I want someone I can go all out against, someone who I could kill if I had to. What, you think I have some kind of moral quandary for or against killing? I've killed before. [so casually]

[maggotbone]

[Obvious shock right here]

...No way.

[notadartboard]

...you really didn't think I would?
