Subject: Ranma found some goodies he has no use/no knowledge on, so he's giving them away to any takers.
Warnings: Alcohol, small mention of underage drinking, probably cursed ring that makes people go mad and experience hallucinations, more will be added as needed.

[The video feed opens up to Ranma sitting somewhere in Eltrut, seated at a table with a bag right beside him.]

'Sup. Me and a birdbrain went treasure hunting on a ship a month ago, and these things have been sitting around my place since. I thought about pawning them off to one of the shops here, but I figured I'd see if anyone'd want to take them off my hand first.

[His hand reached into the bag, and pulled out an expansive bottle of alcohol by the nozzle.]

There's two more in here that's the exact same brand. Looks like rum if the labels' are correct. I haven't opened or drank from it, hasn't been messed with, nothing. I certainly don't want it, gotten drunk too many times in my life already. Anyone wants a bottle, you can come meet me at one of the shops in Eltrut, I'll be outside. If you want more than one, it'll cost you a pretty penny.

[Putting the bottle bag in the bag before sitting back.]

Oh! There's something else! Almost forgot about this thing...

[Ranma pulled out a clothed jewelry box that he opened up, showing off a ring. The ring was adorned with a dark purple gemstone cut and shaped into the image of a skull, with small green gemstones for eyes. Staring at it even from beyond the screen makes one feel like it is staring directly into their souls, and no matter how Ranma moved it or they're viewing the angle, the skull always faces them.]

Freaky, huh? It was in the same crate the rum was. Haven't actually worn it myself, but I've kept it around my place. It's... weird. It feels like it keeps looking at me, even when it's in its box. Sometimes I'll even find it outside it at times. Might be super cursed... So anyone want it?

[Oh what a tempting bargain...]

You start talking like that, soon you'll be saying you've still got eight, and seven, and then before you know it you're getting fitted up for a hook.

[..........]

Please tell me you're pulling my leg about the bathing suit.

[catsgothistongue]

I'd match the pirate aesthetic of this place then.

[Ranma please. He's very attached to his fingers, all of his body for that matter, so he doesn't plan on parting with them. Better not to get another curse stacked onto the one precedented.]

Does that sound like something I could make up?

[moremystyle]

That must have been one tacky bathing suit if it was known enough to get known for it.

Hook hands and eyepatches aren't an aesthetic, lad. You ever see a man lose an eye? You ever hear a man lose an eye? It's something to avoid if you can.

[catsgothistongue]

Oh, I wish it could've just been some urban legend. Unfortunately, I got a firsthand experience of dealing with the real thing.

[By that, he means it tried to drown him.

He sucked a breath through his teeth. Grody.]

Can't say I have. I imagine it sounds like a watermelon bursting...

[Don't worry, he's not planning on losing any part of him anytime!]

... Least they still look cool, plus they still have a hand or eye left? Silver lining?

[Shrug.]

[moremystyle]

I couldn't tell you. I expect it did, but I couldn't hear it over the screaming. And if you lose the hand, you'll feel it itch and sting for ages after it's gone and not be able to do a damn thing about it.

So keep that ring off your mitts, aye?

[this is him caring. look at how well he's expressing it.]

[catsgothistongue]

Fine, wasn't planning on actually putting it on anyway. It'd just look weird on a guy.

[He's lived with his old man giving him backhanded form of TLC for all his life. He can take Faris's attempt of caring.]
