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.]

SPLASH!
Annnnnnnd took a dive in the water, just barely missing the boat by a hair.]
no subject
Ranma!
[But he's going to try anyway. Cats don't like water after all, right?
So he's running in to find his friend and drag him out.]
no subject
*COUGH COUGH*
[A familiar redhead resurface out of the water, sputtering and hacking up a lung while shaking her head to get the matted pigtail out of her face. Ranma looks around, disoriented. She was essentially mentally comatosed for several days, so it takes her a sec or five to get words out, or notice Roxas right there.]
Where-? What is-??
no subject
Ranma, are you okay?
[Roxas says as he reaches his hand out to put it on Ranma's shoulder.]
no subject
Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
[Ranma answers with uncertainty in her voice. Her mind's a whirlpool of static at the moment, her body's on high alert while she's trying to figure out what the hell's going on here. Don't be too offended that she pulls away from the hand reaching out, Roxas.]
... I didn't sleepwalk off th' ship or anything, did I?
[King Explosion Murder or whatever the fuck Bakugou christened it wasn't even around for her to draw that conclusion...]
no subject
I dunno...You just.
There was this video on the phones of you acting like a cat and I figured I should come and find you since you're on the warrior cat island.
I don't really know how you got here.
Sorry.
no subject
Oh.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
[If you'll excuse her, she's just.
Gonna sink in the water until the top of her head disappears. She's been swimming from a young age, and have done plenty of diaphragmatic exercises, so she won't drown. As much as she may want to this very moment.
Bubbles rise to the surface, popping and reforming in the same second. Chances are, she's currently screaming her lungs out underwater. Give her about three to five minutes to get over it.]
no subject
So, he'll wait. But if she doesn't come up for air soon, he's going in after her.]
no subject
Welp, that was therapeutic. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go on an expedition and disappear from the face of the earth 'till everyone forgets my existence. Goodbye.
[Walking off hurriedly...
... should probably remind her that they're still on cat island.]
no subject
Nope, I think you should come back to our island so everyone knows you're all right.
And maybe take a break from the cats.
think we're good to wrap things here?
Fiiiiine.
[Anything to get away from more cats. I've got a lot of 'splaining to do, she bitterly bemoaned in her own head.]
yeah, I think so
You'll feel better once we're back on the island. And it's better than me trying to carry you.
