Subject: Ranma done goofed and went to cat island, regretting it immensely
Warnings: Catfight, cat boy ranma
[For about a week, those acquainted with one Ranma Saotome might've noticed a distinct lack of pigtails running around Eltrut. No word or sight of the teen anywhere. Some would be forgiven for thinking he went into hiding due to the recent bounty placed upon him. Others, given how some will temporarily be whisked back to their homes and return with nary an explanation, may believe he simply went back home and could come back at any given moment.
The true cause of his disappearance... is a lot stupider than those sensible ideas.
When he heard of a mysterious island cropping up, he knew he had to check it out. Information about it was scarce to him, since Paladins received more intel on itand cause he skimmed the blurb, but that wasn't going to stop him! Adventure's afoot, and he's going to take it! The next voyage to this elusive island, Ranma stowed away hitched a free ride.
And from there, it all goes downhill from there.
That was around a week ago. In the present, the network would abruptly display a notification of a video call from the MIA martial artist. A... disconcerting image showed the camera unfocused and blurred, like someone strapped it to a speeding jet. A cacophony of caterwauls and the crashing of timbering lumber trees hitting the ground was the only audible sound that could be made out. Then, the repeated quick motions loosening it, the shellphone fell and hit the ground, conveniently landing in a clump of grass that propped it in the right spot for a clearer picture.
Anyone observing the feed would find a clowder of warrior cats, some looking banged and scratched up more than others, backs arched with their furry tails standing on edge. They yowled, spit and hissed in the direction of an unseen force, a predator perhaps? Whatever it was, the camera's barely able to track anything more than the red streak that rushed each cat one by one, until all ferocious felines were off-screen.
Strange scene, no doubt. Even stranger is the source of this stream. It's coming from Ranma's phone. This was the first form of contact anyone's got from him in a week, and he isn't even in view. So where is--]
MRRRRW!
[Oh.
There's Ranma, on the branch of a tree in the shot of the camera. Only instead of addressing the camera, give an explanation as to where on earth he's been, or even acknowledge the camera at all...]
Mrreow!~
[... He. Meowed? And started clawing into the bark of the tree he's lurching on like it was a scratch post??
Huh.]

Ranma...

It knows that voice! It likes that voice! Kaveh would go from seeing Ranma a good height up in the tree, to getting a close-up of the teen's face in the camera... Mostly cause said teen's pawing at the phone and leaning in closely with curiosity. Cause why nice blonde man in tiny toy? Is he stuck?]
no subject
Ranma, stay there. I'll be there in a moment.
[He's glad he set one of his ring locations to the island so he could bring Alhaitham here later...it means he really can be there quickly.]

And he brought catnip.]

Brace yourself Kaveh, cause you got a cat boy approaching at Mach 1 on all fours.]

Hey, Ranma! Over here! Where are you?
[Well, he's giot to try.]
cw: injuries, animal harm
... A little too right up for anyone's liking.]
Rrrowr?
[It turned its head with intrigue, raised a balled-up fist miming a cat's paw...
... and smacked the phone, sending it flying off a good two feet. Video became unfocused as it spiraled through the air, refocusing only after the shellphone bounced and clattered on the dirt. Ranma had disappeared from view, which might be a bad sign. But what Roxas'll perceive now is those same ferocious felines from earlier in the video, all huddled together in a gaggle. Each one trembling, petrified in fear of the new threat, covered in fresh scratches and gashes that matted their fur with their own blood.
If Roxas has been paying attention to the posting board, this could clue him in to Ranma's location.]
no subject
Hold on, I'm coming!
[Not that Ranma knows what that means at this moment, but after a bit of time, Roxas is rushing into the area.]
Ranma, where are you?

Not to mention the manta board postings this month..........That's when he sees the post.]
Saotome-kun???
[Why is he acting like a cat...?? Did he get hit with a weird tattoo like Toge as well?!]
no subject
Hi Izuku, there's your missing friend and shipmate, right back on the ground. Still lurching down on all fours like some feral animal. If Izuku's hoping for a clear and cognitive response...]
Mrow?
[Those hopes are dashed as Ranma tapped at the phone curiously with a closed fist like it was a paw. Pat pat.]
no subject
[Just what in the heck is going on here...]
I didn't know you had two curses, Saotome-kun. Did you get hit with a cat curse of some sort as well? [...] If you can understand me, say ...two meows.
no subject
Hey Izuku. Good idea and all. But quick question. If two meows mean yes...
... does pick up the shellphone in his mouth and start running with it mean no? Cause that's what's happening here. Ranma took the phone in his mouth, interested piqued, and started zipping around the place. Wuh oh.]
no subject
[Well... This is bad. Izuku isn't exactly sure what he should do but he doesn't want Ranma to hurt himself. It's pretty hard to tell what the heck is going on with the camera going haywire like this. Oh boy.]
You have to calm down!!? Did someone give you ... catnip too?! Please stop!!

Audio (I'm sorry this is so late)
Shhhhh you're good
SLICE!
Unfortunately, that sudden noise sparked a frightened response from it. It jumped off the tree, rendering the entire top where it once stood completely slashed into ribbons and logs. None of the falling lumber landed on the shellphone — thankfully that means no having to find a – replacement.
... Though what did land atop it was Ranma, who stared at the phone cautiously, like a cornered animal readying to bite back.]
Rrrrrrrrr...!
[A shrill yowl – genuinely sounding like that of a genuine cat too wtf – comes from it as Ranma's stance remained on guard, the ground under him kicked up like a sharpened rake ran through them, his pigtail stood bristled like a pissed off animal tail.]
Voice - ...Action? CW: brief mention of drugs/getting high
(Did he just destroy a tree?
Someone had better get out there before he murders the whole clan. Fortunately, they're on cat island and a cat from the clan they've been working on befriending is able to identify the cats in the picture and point Sidestep in the direction of their territory after a bit of awkward discussion.
So they head out, seeking one idiot who is apparently afflicted with some sort of brain disease from the way he's acting. Or drugs, they suppose. He is around the age where humans do lots of stupid things like get high.)
RANMA!
CW: blood
It shouldn't take them long to find the idiot they're searching for. Even without the assistance of being pointed in the direction by the cat, Sidestep'll eventually come across recent destruction that had taken place. Trees were hacked and slashed cleanly into strewn out ribbons of bark and wood, as if someone took them down with multiple razor blades all at once. The dirt and ground were carved and torn asunder by claw markings akin to that of a predator. I imagine Sidestep's familiar with the metallic, rustic scent of blood. Some dried up, some still fresh from a recent scrimmage. Human blood, cat blood, both? Hard to tell. And, of course, the most pressing matter...]
Rrrrrrrrr...
[The addled teen, sitting on all fours. It jerked its head in the direction of the nearest loud sound, a threat, a challenge, danger? Ranma leapt back as Sidestep came into its sight, standing on the defensive. Glaring empty daggers at the new figure, bearing its teeth, looking ready to pounce or attack at a moment's notice. Tread carefully Sidestep.]
no subject
Instead, they reach out with their mind, even as their physical body remains at a distance and adopts a non threatening posture.
It's alright, Ranma!kitty. They're not a threat, see? Look.
They bring out some dried fish from one of their pockets and hold it out in offering.)

Another cat? In the small box? Is it trapped? Does it need to be saved?]
Mrrp?
[Ranma smacked the phone with a faux-paw, somehow not carving into it like its doing to the dirt beneath it.]
no subject
I wonder how embarrassed you will feel about this later.
no subject
... Unrelated question, are those cat ears sensitive at hearing? Cause I can't imagine the sound of a teenage boy gnawing on his phone is a pleasant experience.]
