Video || Doing 'Homework'

Type: Video
Sender ID: catsgothistongue (Ranma)
To: Public
Subject: Ranma being nosy inquisitive of other worldly techniques and fighting styles cause dad said so.
Warnings: Probably none? Maybe potential discussion of fighting/violence? TBD

[Kaveh had assigned him "homework" to do in regards to training and teaching. And even if he's not happy about getting chastised over an honest mistake, the architect raised a few good points. Training purposes aside, the whole prospect of other worlds with other fighters caught his fancy a long while ago. So clearly, he didn't need to be told to do this!

So here he is, after first mulling it over whether it should be text or video before just flipping heads or tails for it, sitting in the quarter of a ship at a desk, tapping the eraser end of a pen against his chin.]


Yo. [Ranma gave a terse nod while leaning back in his seat.] There's something that's been on my mind for a while now. A lot of us are from different worlds or universes or whatever. That'd mean a lot of us might have different styles or methods to use when in a fight. As a martial artist, a practitioner of Anything Goes Martial Arts, and potential instructor in the future, part of those duties include learning about any kind of technique or style no matter what they may be. Soooo...

[Clicking the push pencil a couple of times as he leaned forward, a focused glint in his blue eyes. With the way he had his shellphone set up, the edge of a notepad could be spotted along with a bottle of water could be seen in the display.]

How do any of ya' fight? What kind of training have you gone through? Techniques, weapons, anything you feel like spilling, let's hear it! [An ear-to-ear smile was brimming while the pigtailed teen rocked back and forth excitedly in his seat.]

OKAY WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH YOUR WORLD?!
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay...okay, I guess that...makes sense. Not every world is like mine...

And that explains why you didn't bat an eye at me when you saw what I could do...

[Darin runs a hand through his hair in thought.]

Sorry, this is. Kind of a lot? For me? The only person I've ever known who could do the things I could do is my brother and he just wiped out a city before I got here.
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Yeah and that's not...even close to his full strength as far as I could tell.

[He sighs.]

Like I said, there's a reason I don't fight people.
forgeabettertomorrow: (my story is long)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-03 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
... ... ...

Yeah. Ureka is—was...one of Alvale's most populated cities.

There's literally nothing left. A flat expanse with a single spire in the center. A tower made from the city itself.

And it's people.
forgeabettertomorrow: (But what does 'being anime' even mean?)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-04-04 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Trust me. There aren't really any words to describe it.

[Considering it was his brother that did it. At this point, Ranma probably gets the feeling there's a lot more to Darin's story than he's let on.]
treebornekettlegirl: (Look away)

(2/2 i rolled low on a dice lmao)

[POP!

... The water bottle he was clenching in his fist just popped, splashing water all over his desk and himself. Near instantaneously, Darin'd go from seeing a male black-haired teen sitting at his desk to a short crimson haired teenage girl with a miffed look on her face.]


... Thanks for the info, it was interesting to hear about.

[With that, she abruptly hung up her end of the video screen.]

forgeabettertomorrow: (you're an asshole here's why)

treebornekettlegirl: (Whack)

LMAO RIP DARIN'S SHELLPHONE

[Good question Darin. Good question.]
