[Action/Voice] Backdated to May 5th (AKA LUFFY'S B-DAY!)

[Hey guys! Today happens to be a very special day for Luffy! It’s his birthday, and instead of Luffy getting a plain old boring cake like he usually does, he wants to get something a little… different this year. But to do it, he’s going to need a loooot of meat. And I mean a lot. So the first place he starts is at the Item Shop so he can get some big brown anime like bags to store items in! And the first place he’s going to go with these items?!

The meat shop! Or, well. The grocery store rather. And there he is going to be gathering a large amount of meat, stuffing as much as he can into one of his bags, cleaning out a majority of the place’s meat supply. Don’t worry, they can just respawn later, it’ll be cool! Anyway, once he leaves he’ll look into his bags at all the meat he managed to gather and decides that still isn’t going to be enough. He wasn’t planning to do Phase 3 unless he really had to, but he doesn’t have much of a choice at this point.

SO LUCETI! Luffy is sneaking around the village, gathering all the meat he can by any means necessary! Or die tryin’. Are you at a restaurant getting ready to eat a large meat filled meal? Sitting at a bench about to eat a burger? Or maybe the window to your house/apartment is open somehow, and you decided to have a quick meal or snack. Regardless of what you’re trying to eat, you can expect a stretched rubbery hand to sneak up on you and snatch the meat from your plate or hand before you have the chance to bite it. Afterwards he’ll stuff it into his bag!

Later, after he’s done with his meat gathering he’s going to start pulling a red wagon full of heavy bags that are full of meat! Feel free to notice him at any point of the day!]

[Voice]

Guys! I got this reeeeeally big project that I’ve been working hard on all day. Today’s my birthday, but instead of having a plain dumb ol’ cake like I do every year I want to make something that’s gonna be so much cooler! I want to make a giant meatcake! It’s gonna have mashed potatoes for frosting and meat filling [Obv.] and a lot of other stuff!

I can’t really cook though so I’m gonna need help if I wanna make it. I want it to be HUGE! As big as a house! [Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration but you get it. He also… wouldn’t argue if someone agreed to do that.] Are there any chefs out there who would be willing to make something like that?

[He would ask Sanji but he and Nami JUST got back from a mission. He’d really not bother him if he could avoid it.]

A meatcake? [Just saying the word gives her goosebumps.] Seriously? [She's not even gonna count the cholesterol in one slice.]

[voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Yeah, doesn't it sound good?! [Do you want a sliiiice?]

[stungunning]

[Milly's absolutely enormous and carrying a bag of minced beef and a mass of chillis. Due date is approaching and she's heard that spicy food helps get things going: chilli con carne it it.]

[action] 1/2

[gomugomunopwn]

[Fufufufu! Watch out Milly. A stretchy hand is going to sneak over that bag of minced meat to slip into it and--]

[action]

[gomugomunopwn]

[--Ahhh, he can't do it. Even if he is a pirate, he can't still food from a pregnant friend of all things. He might be selfish but he's not selffish. Her carrying those heavy bags does ping him as a little odd though.

What would Chopper say...? If being sick means you stay in bed all day and definitely not lift anything heavy then carrying around a mini-person must mean... you should do like double of that right? Watch out Milly! You have a bossy Luffy running over to you.]

OI, MILLY! What are you doing, you aren't supposed to be doing that!

[Voice]

[greatinspector]

[Hey Luffy, remember that guy that chased you around town? Hi, here he is! He doesn't give a crap about how weird it is meeting someone like he did, he's just going to say happy birthday]

Hey Strawhat. Y'know that cake sounds like a man's cake.

I hear its your birthday. Happy Birthday, kid.

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

[Luffy isn't going to mind! He just kind of laughs it off actually.]

Oh, hey it's you!

Thanks, but... Pffft, isn't it weird to wish your enemies friend a Happy Birthday!? [Seems like it would be weird.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Happy birthday! [He cringes after hearing the cake's ingredients] Sounds like you like meat a whole a whole lot.

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Heh, thanks! Meat is definitely the best food!

...hey! I know you! Aren't you one of Katara's friend? [Let's see if he can remember the name--ah he got it.] Tang right?

[divine_beast]

[A meatcake...? He's seen some questionable dishes in his time, but that's probably up there with fish-and-goat-cheese soup.]

Happy birthday. I'm not a chef, but I can help if you need it.

1/2

[gomugomunopwn]

Shishishi! Thanks! I don't think you have to be a chef to help out! Do you know how to make a cake? If you do we can--

[Voice]

[jinchuuriki]

Happy-- [WHAT KIND OF HIDEOUS MONSTROSITY ARE YOU TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO BAKE, LUFFY!?] A what cake!?

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

A meatcake!!! It sounds really good right? Shishishi, I bet your mouth is watering all ready!

[Just ignore those droplets of drool that's dripping onto the page!]

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

You supply the meat, I'll provide the meat cake cooking. That's nothing my meat alchemy can't handle. Though I will need to make a bigger circle for it to work.

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Wait, Sokka can you really do it!? Where'd you learn how to do "meat alchemy"?!

[He has no idea what that is but it sounds cool.]

[redjacketthief]

[what.

The.

Hell?!]

That's not a 'meatcake' you want. That's a shepherd's pie.

[gomugomunopwn]

Hmm, a shepard's pie? I've never heard of it, but can you make one in a giant size please?!

[He just assumes you know how to make it off the bat.]

[seakingbait]

A... meat pie?

[Keimi taps a finger to her chin. Being a vegetarian, she can't possibly see how that could be good. But this is Luffy, we're talking about.]

I've never made one of those before.

[gomugomunopwn]

Hmmm. Well. Have you ever just made a regular pie before?

[THEY COULD WORK AROUND THE DETAILS.]

[Action]

[inkdrops]

[Only a madman would enter Sanji's kitchen with the intent to steal food. That is what Miyabi's thought process is as she prepares a bit of a light lunch for herself there. She's just about to get started working, picking up a large tray of plates, all filled with tasty meals - soups, salads, entres, and one lone dessert. It's getting pretty busy now, so she has to keep a level head.

Ah, but she forgot something! Oops, perhaps the bustle is getting to her after all. Thank goodness she remembered before the plate went out though. Hum de dum, turning her back on the tray of foodstuffs now, yupyup.]

[Action]

[gomugomunopwn]

[PERFECT OPPORTUNITY!

Don't mind him at all Miyabi. You don't see that stretched hand slowly going over to that tray of food you turned your back on. And you also don't see it pulling it back to where Luffy is. But what am I saying of course you don't you got your back turned! FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU]

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

You get a cake every year and now you want a cooler cake?! Wooow...

[Sign her up man, cake is awesome.]

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Hehehehe. Doesn't it sound like it's gonna be tasty?

I don't know you, but if you want I could give you a slice too!

[fierybluebird]

I guess I could help with the mashed potatoes if you or Sanji need help.

[Marco has had two Ds at the same time in his crew. He knows how it is. Even if there were more like a hundred cooks instead of one.]

[gomugomunopwn]

You know how to make mashed potatoes!?

Since when did you cook?

[action] /tags this while eating cake

[hiken_ace]

[Well, Ace is also over in the meat section, looking at the different varieties. And with a rather contemplative look in his face while doing such. He scratches the back of his head.]

Aaah, shit, which kind would he want...

[action] FRIED CAKE!?

[gomugomunopwn]

[Sup Ace. Hope you don't mind some stretchy rubbery hands going over to all that meat over there and start just swiping ALL OF IT EVER!]

[voice]

[concasse]

[Back from a tiring mission and what does he see?

His own captain, cheating on him. Not even bothering with the courtesy of a locked entry, either! Screw you, you traitorous swine.]

... Luffy.

[voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Hmmm? Yeah, Sanji...?

[action]

[thebellthatbinds]

[Unfortunately for Sabriel she's about the size of the piece of meat she's cutting a portion from to make for her lunch. Helios must have let the window open to let some fresh air in and by all means it seemed like a peaceful enough day...until a giant hand suddenly reaches in and plucks the roast chicken from the serving plate.

With Sabriel smooshed into the side of it by those rubbery fingers.

She gives something of a muffled scream and holds on for dear life when both she and the chicken are whipped out of the kitchen towards the body of the young man. Were it not for her being pinned securely to the chicken she'd surely have whiplash of some sort. After a moment of forcing her face out of the meat she screams as loud as she can to whoever has grabbed her and her lunch.]

LET ME GO!

[action]

[gomugomunopwn]

[Wait where is that screaming coming from-- O.M.G. WHAT IS THAT?!]

A-- a tiny person!? [Is this person like Miyabi's cousin or something? Luffy is going to try to position his hand under her and take the meat away so she can sit on his hand or something without being smooshed. Whoops sorry about that.] How'd you get there?? What were you doing hugging meat?

[ voice ]

[lunas]

... Huh, a meatcake-- [ food means you have Usagi's instant attention, really, she's very interested by this concept.. ]

Do you mean like a cake made out of meat?!

[ voice ]

[gomugomunopwn]

Yeah, and only meat! [...] Ah, besides the mashed potato frosting! I'm not sure if it's done very often, but I think it can definitely be made!

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Happy birthday!

[That is a really different idea for a cake and she's never made one like it before, but--] I can help you!

[Don't take her up on the offer. Seriously, don't.]

[Voice]

[gomugomunopwn]

Thanks!

AND REALLY!? You think you can!?

[He is. Oh god.]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[Have a genuinely enthusiastic greeting.]

Happy Birthday, man!!

[And then comes the wry face.]...Ain't gonna lie... a meatcake sounds kind a' gross. But it IS y'birthday. Hell, I could go for some kind a' meat. Bit into m'burger t'day and there was no patty... it was the weirdest thing. I swear I saw it. I was lookin' away for a sec 'cause I thought somebody was callin' me, an' then when I took a bite, BAM. Meat was gone but I was still holdin' the buns. ...Think the Malnosso was messin' with me?

[gomugomunopwn]

Thanks Mac!!

[....Oh. He still remembers that huh? FFFFFFFF.]

Oh. Uh. Yeah! I think it might have been them! It's probably an experiment going on! The-- er-- [...] the "Meat Plague" experiment!

[biteoffherhead]

[What the hell are you doing, Luffy.

Rather, the heavy scent of meat caught Moro's attention rather abruptly, and at the edge of the village, she's peering in, trying to see what's going on.

And she is not surprised in the least to see you, Luffy.]

Have you been going hungry?

[gomugomunopwn]

Moro!? Oi, it's rare to see you this close to the village!

[He looks confused at her question at first. Going hungry? No he's been eating pretty well actually-- ah. She must mean that wagon full of meat he's pulling around with him.]

Wha-- oh! You mean this? Nah, I haven't been going hungry! It's for my birthday! Instead of having a plain old birthday cake like I did for all those other years, I want to make a meatcake instead. But I'm going to need a looooot of meat to pull it off.
