Subject: Crabs
Warnings: Small mention of broken arm, Ranma's general idiocy

[The video feed opens up to a calm, relaxing beach viewing with waves gently crashing on the shore and crabs scuttering along in their own little world. The screen would change to front-facing mode to show Ranma sitting on the beach, left arm bandaged and in a cast and a few crabs climbing on and off of him. He seemed almost wistful, as if he's about to poise a sagely question...]

Think anyone here tried cooking any of the crabs here yet? [... or not.] Or at the least tried to get a leg off the big one. Imagine how much you could make with just a leg!

[Ranma no.]

Just uh... Just a hypothetical. [He's totally not salivating right now.]

[telepathicignorance]

The point is you talk like an idiot.

[catsgothistongue]

Screw you too.

[telepathicignorance]

You're like half my age, kid. Gross.

(They are deliberately being an ass now.)

[catsgothistongue]

[They might be joking, but Ranma's not laughing. His face scrunched up with annoyance.]

I'm not into guys anyway, so I'm oh-so heartbroken about it.

[Two can be a sarcastic ass.]

[telepathicignorance]

(...)

I'm not a guy.

[catsgothistongue]

[...]

Eh?

[telepathicignorance]

You've already proven that you can read.

(Since Sidestep refuses to send anything but texts.)

[catsgothistongue]

[Smartmouthed asshole...]

... You're a girl?

[telepathicignorance]

(You know, they figured of all people this guy might be quick on the uptake.)

Not one of those, either.

(They are kind of scrawny and have a high pitched voice for a dude despite lacking the chest features you'd usually expect on a girl.)

[catsgothistongue]

[The term non-binary hadn't been coined during his time, so as far as Ranma knew, you're either a dude or a chick. So...]

...

[He absolutely does not get it. Sorry Sidestep.]

[telepathicignorance]

(Somewhere, Sidestep is facepalming.)

Okay so, you're a guy even when you change, right? Like, you just are?

[catsgothistongue]

[Appropriate reaction.]

Of course?

[telepathicignorance]

Well, there are some people who are always like that. Knowing they aren't what other people think they are.

And I'm not anything.

[catsgothistongue]

... If you say so?

[He still doesn't really get it, per say, but he's not going to question it further.]

[telepathicignorance]

You'll figure it out.

[catsgothistongue]

If you say so...?

[telepathicignorance]

I'm not gonna explain it any further.
