[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. This post was made in response to this OOC post]

That's some pretty messed up people if they're like that. But at least there's no good place for 'em to hide, here.

Thank goodness for small blessings. Even if they were unable to steal a ship, can you imagine looking for a criminal over a whole continent?

Yeah, that'd be a real hassle. The minute they get a car or something, it's gonna be harder to find them.

A... car? I imagine that's a vehicle, but is it ground-based? Air-based?

Ground - s'on wheels.

[ You don't? Know? ]

Like a tank, then. Even if we could find them, they'd be much harder to catch.

[...This level of technology in his world might or might not be uneven.]

-No, dude. It's nothing like a tank! Tanks are... tanks?! Cars aren't nearly as military or nothing!

Less military? I see. The lack of a canon would already be a relief, were it to fall into a criminal's hands.

Plus tanks are way more harsh, and cars just are... cars. You use 'em to get around.

That would make them somewhat closer to hovercrafts, though few people can afford them or their fuel. Then again, I imagine the wheels would make them less practical in the desert.

-Why do you guys have tanks and hovercraft but not cars?! Cars just run on gas, so it's not like it's that big of thing!

Is that not dangerous? The gas would have to be extremely compressed to fit into any normal-sized vehicle, and explosions are always a danger.

No it wouldn't?

[Probably?]

Truly? What gas could possibly be that safe? Helium, perhaps?

No, gas. You know, gasoline.

I've never heard of gasoline before. I'm assuming it's less gaseous than its name suggests.

Well it's a liquid, so yeah, I guess so.

The etymological history of that particular word must be extremely interesting.

[How funny, he doesn't sound like he would find it interesting at all.]

Is it a type of oil, then?

I guess-- yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[What even is "atymological" no just ignore that]

Ah, that makes more sense. Our vehicles use fuels that are relatively alike, even if the vehicles themselves are different.

Yeah? Well, I guess fuel's fuel, so it's got ti be pretty universal.

I thought the same, before I saw my first crystal-powered spaceship.

Crystal powered?

It's surprisingly efficient. The Lunar Whale spent hundreds of years under the sea, yet its crystal worked perfectly when we used it.

-So it's a whale space ship?
