[open] how can we expect

Who: Sanji and OPEN
What: Someone didn't take the last event well.
Where: The permafrost ice cellar dug vaguely close to Sanji's restaurant
When: January 13th
Warnings: Angst. And a boo-boo.


The visions have ended. They haven't plagued anyone for days, and Hadriel has settled back into its modicum of twisted peace. Sanji's restaurant-slash-home-slash-kitchen, however, is eerily empty. His equipment is clean, the lights are all out, and his tools have been carefully slotted into their proper places. All except for a single kitchen knife still lying atop his pristine counter. The very fact that Sanji's left it out is concerning. The dots of red on its blade? Those are a problem.

Sanji himself is now holed up in the very ice cellar he helped dig, cross-legged next to a pile of frozen game as he glares at the bloody cut marring his right pointer finger. He's angry at the stupid, shitty noise that had made him jump, at himself for being distracted enough in the first place to jump with a fucking knife in his hand, at this whole damn situation for tearing him away from his life. But most of all, he's angry at the bone deep ache that's managed to penetrate every single one of his defenses and just won't go away.

He'd never even considered that his crew could die without him. That's the way it should have stayed. Sanji believes in every member of the Straw Hats with absolute certainty. Every member except himself.

The weary cook wraps the wound with his towel again, soaking up more blood but also just so he doesn't have to look at it anymore.

What if he never makes it back to them? What if they spend the rest of their lives looking for him? Luffy's voice echoes in his head. It's usually such a guiding light; now it only stings like his damn stupid cut.

"Without you, I can't become the pirate king!"

Sanji leaps to his feet and slams his shoe into the wall with devastating force. The whole cellar shakes.

"Shit!"

[she can and she's glad that it's a distraction from the turmoil he'd clearly been feeling earlier. he'll likely have to wrestle with his demons at some point and she hopes that he has a friend there when he does who can help him through it. in time, she would hope to be one of those friends, but that time is likely not now]

Yes, it's been simply terrible here. If I'd wanted to go North, I'd had ample opportunity to back home. [she listens to the rest of what he has to say] I feel. . . I don't know! I've never had peanut soup before!
