[The journal catches sight of... Snow. White, pristine snow... The camera moves trying to take in more of the image and it can be appreciated that the snow isn't as pristine as it seemed as someone has been making snow angels on it. The camera moves again, focusing on a snowman and then on a pile of games and toys. Finally it turns and Goku smiles brightly at it.]

Does anyone want to play with me?!! My name's Goku and I'm at the plaza! Come and play, I have toys and there's tons of snow!!

[What? He was told the journals served to communicate with people, they may as well serve to search for playmates, right? Still he will use the old way of nagging anyone and everyone who hangs around the plaza. After a trip to the item shop the kid got his hands on a lot of games and toys and he's dying to play with them! Surely someone will want to play.

He will also be found hanging around the bakery, apparently wanting to go in but hesitating about it. And at the bar and the Seventh Heaven, going in and out with no care in the world. Hopefully the people working there won't find him too annoying.]

[But he wasn't trying to get your name right. Anyway, the keep keeps staring and frowning before nodding.]

Yeah, I don't think you look much like Sanzo. I'm trying to see if my friends arrive here, I'm sure Gojyo would come here or to the bar first, so I keep checking.

[Apparently Gojyo can teleport inside buildings instantly because the kid was coming in to check pretty often.]

I'm a bit hungry too though.

[Well, obviously, but he still takes amusement out of the first three letters being the same]

The New Feather drop-ins have ended, kid. You're probably not gonna find them anywhere for at least a month now.

[Gesturing to a table] But if you're hungry, have a seat. The menu's on the table.

Everyone says that. But they also said that none of my friends were here and Hakkai was. And that there's dangerous people but I've seen none. And that the experiments are bad, but I had fun being a meatbun. And that being back at our worlds is better than being here, but I definitively prefer it here. So maybe everyone will be wrong with this too and my friends will come at any moment.

[It has some logic, at least for him. He eyes the table and the menu.]

But I don't know how to read that much. I can't read it all.

[There was so much bwuh in that comment Sanji doesn't know where to begin, and is momentarily stuck on staring at the boy.

... Alright. Better start at the end and then work his way back]

You can't read? [A light 'tch'] Well, in that case--

[He pulls out his journal and flips a few pages in] Here. Look at the pictures and pick what you want.

I can read! Hakkai's teaching me! But I'm still starting. I also know how to write a bit.

[Oh, pictures, Goku smiles and looks at them... And starts to pick what he wants. Not the whole menu but it's pretty clear this little one is probably like a potential Luffy regarding appetite.]

Can I have this? And this... Oh, this looks tasty too! Ah, and this other one! I want this too!

You a friend of Hakkai's? [He hadn't caught it the first time during that onslaught of talking.

And then the orders. One after the other... after the other. After the other. And it's with steady practice that comes from feeding Luffy everyday that Sanji catalogs it all without pen and paper, expression turning desert-dry]

... Is that all?

Yes! My name's Son Goku! I live with Hakkai, he arrived here before me though and now we're waiting for our other friends.

[Not exactly on Hakkai's part but Goku is. Goku looks seriously at the menu... And points to one more thing.]

This for dessert... Can I really have this all?

[Did Hakkai ever mention a Son Goku? Sanji figures he'd remember if he had. But no name comes to mind, and the chef just takes it at face value]

So long as you eat all of it.
