[So Sanji went home over a week ago. Honestly, Seventh Heaven’s been struggling to stay open since and he been conspicuously closed in the mornings where it hadn’t been before since then that time. You see, while there is a part time chef (Spock) and four members of the serving staff left, there is only one full time chef and at least one of the serving staff members isn’t coming in.

Oh, and there’s also a robot. Specifically mecha Sanji. It’s been picking up the cooking slack some, but for all of its frankly impressive robotics, it still can’t really think for itself or do much more than copy stuff it’s already seen prepared. ...Well and shoot lasers, but you know, robot. That is, until Pascal came in sometime yesterday and gave him some programming to "help" out at the place.

Or rather, to get more help. Which is way, sometime in the the afternoon today the robot steals Rin’s journal when the boy isn’t paying attention to make the following voice entry-]

[Voice / Action]
[This post begins with a hideous mechanical thing coming onto the picture, and beginning in a mechanical voice-]

My name is Sanji. We need more shitty workers at Seventh Heaven. Would you like to-

[And then there’s a sound of surprise as Rin comes into the room and exclaims-]

What the hell’re you-! [WAIT ISN’T THAT HIS JOURNAL HAS THE ROBOT GONE ROGUE? Pascal warned him about this!!]

Hello Rin. I am recruiting more shitty workers.

Who programmed you to-- no, dumb question. Just stop it already!

But we need more-

Hydrozz-- aalo nii-san! No, Hydra- Oh come on! [And at this point Rin gives up and goes to tackle the robot, because he turned his face back to the journal to continue his speil. And he seems to struggle with the robot for a bit, including an explosion before a shout of of-] Tell me you damn shut down phrase already!

Hydroxylammonium nitrate-- [And then a buzzing sound before, upon hearing the word, the robot shuts down. Rin sighs in relief and goes to pick up the book himself-]

S...sorry ‘bout that, everyone. [A beat] ...But the thing kinda has a point. We’re short handed, and while we don’t have a new boss or nothing, or even a head chef, if anyone’s willing to help us out however you think you can, could you stop by Seventh Heaven? I’m Rin, by the way, so I guess me and whoever else is here’ll be talkin’ to you.

[Because he wouldn’t want to pull a fast one on Miyabi or the others or anything. He’s really got no authority to do this in the first place...

And for the action portion, true to his word, Rin will be at Seventh Heaven all day. For once, he isn’t in the back cooking, so you might not be able to get a meal, but that’s because he’s manning the fort for anyone who might willing to help out here.

So it's cool then! I didn't think you were really gettin' it but you got it all along!

[Mecha Sanji looks like Sanji. It's not trying to be Sanji, just look and sound like him (which is totally different from being him), therefore it's not creepy and is actually cool.]

Phew, glad we got this all sorted out! It woulda sucked if you didn't like Mecha Sanji.

Yeah! So don't bother too much with the wording thing, right? [Of course he doesn't dislike him. It's cool! It's helpful! He just doesn't want it to get weird]

[Oh it's always been weird since Pascal has been involved, right now he should just be hoping it won't get any weirder.]

Y'okay, I'll just leave Mecha Sanji to do its own chefy thing, no chans or chwans included. I'll prooobably still drop by sometime to make sure everything is running in tip-top shape!

[And to make sure she takes the shutdown word out of Mecha Sanji's word bank.]

Fine, but fix the shutdown word to something people can remember when you do that!

[He's on to you! ...Only not really!]

You mean hydroxylammonium nitrate?

[As in the shutdown word which is still as easy to remember as it was the first time she told Rin about it?]

Yeah, that one! It's still impossible to remember!

Aww, but you've had ages to practice remembering it! Here, lemme help you break it down. It's just hy, drox, then ylammonium nitrate!

[Easy!]

That isn't helpful!

It's not? Huh, I thought going for it in parts would make it way easier to get inside your head. Maybe I'll go read up on some sorta mnemonicy technique to help ya. Don't worry, we'll figure something out. It'll be rolling off your tongue in no time!

But what's so hard about changing it to something easier! You barely even broke it up into parts there?!

'Cuz if it was changed to something else then it wouldn't be as cool sounding! Plus its gotta be super obscure so no one says it out of nowhere and yadda yadda yadda.

[So the word stays the same. Live with it. NOW THEN time to focus on remembering stuff.]

Do you have a way to study that makes you feel mega focused, like your brain has turned into some kinda heavy duty sponge that soaks up info?

[Ugh] I dunno if it's a sponge or nothing, but I got a method, yeah.

Great, put your mind into focus mode. We're gonna make that word stick!

[She has no idea if Rin needs to prepare to get focused or whatever it is he might have to do, she she'll just get right into it.]

Repeat after me, hydroxy. Just think hydro but slap a 'ksee' on the end.

I don't have my hair clip with me right now, you know!

Huh? I'm sure your hair looks totally awesome without a clippy thing, don't worry about that. Sooooo focus!

The clip's what I use to focus!

Dude, I totally didn't know you had to use a clip to focus. I thought you were all worried about your hair looking messed up! [...] All the stuff I've been saying hasn't being going in one ear and zooming out the other, right?

No? [...No?

Yes.]

[Damn it Rin.]

Phew, that's good. It'd kinda be a bummer if all the stuff I've been telling you wasn't even sticking! Anyhoo, go grab a clip and we'll get right back to it.

The clip's at the house, Pascal. I can't jut leave Seventh Heaven to head there. I've gt people to wait for here.

Eh, guess not. [Stepping out now would probably be a idea yeah, she can get that/] Welp, looks like I'll hafta bring a clip down for you then! Or gel or somethin' like that.

[With Cheria gone she isn't sure if they even have hair clips lying around anymore, but there must be something around here that would help hold hair in place.]

Wha-- no breaking into my house!

Didn't even cross my mind! I was gonna grab you somethin' from around here. Ooh, think a pipe cleaner would work for your hair?

[She's got plenty of those around her room, somewhere. They're so fuzzy and bendy, who doesn't want a pipe cleaner wrapped up their hair?]

I thiiink I've got some blue ones lying around, you're a blue type of guy yeah? Maybe yellow? Awh I'll just bring 'em all!

No! No, of course pipe cleaner isn't the same, what's wrong with you?!

They might not look the same, but they can totally work the same! You just need to use a little bendy work. Heck, a pipe cleaner is probably way better than some boring hair clip!
