Video || 3 Bottles And a Ring

Type: Video
Sender ID: catsgothistongue (Ranma S.)
To: Public
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 don’t think it’s upset you stole the alcohol, do you?
scooba: (Cry Baby)

Not here

[Really? Really???]

[personal profile] empyrean_mirror 2024-04-28 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy to help take it off your hands.

[Someone call Alhaitham to stop this.]
scooba: (Signals)

[personal profile] scooba 2024-04-28 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably? There are tales of cursed objects being upset over gold. Why not alcohol too?
scooba: (Deep Swim)

...

Which is why I think you should be careful of trying to sell it off.
indispensable: (delineate.)

[personal profile] indispensable 2024-04-29 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'll come to take it off your hands.

[Look at this suspiciously generous offer.]

[personal profile] empyrean_mirror 2024-04-29 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
what are you doing???

[And it begins.]
indispensable: (admonishment.)

[personal profile] indispensable 2024-04-29 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I could ask you that very same question myself.

[Indeed... It begins...]
indispensable: (auscultate.)

[personal profile] indispensable 2024-04-29 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Ranma should know at this point that wherever Kaveh is, Alhaitham is almost always sure to follow.]

I'll make sure it goes to the right place.

[AKA a place where Kaveh won't be able to reach.]

I wonder which fool is going to take that obviously cursed thing off of you.

[SOMEONE WILL HE IS SURE.]
