VIDEO // Why does Ranma keep finding alcohol?
Type: Video
Sender ID: catsgothistongue (Ranma Saotome)
To: Public
Subject: RNGesus has gifted feral gremlin with booze once again, and he's handing it out.
Warnings: Alcohol, potential mention of underage drinking, more to be added as necessary.
[Though the end level of the abyss was... underwhelming to say the least, Ranma didn't come back empty-handed at the least. Granted, he'd prefer something cooler than a bell -- even if something about it feels off -- and a sack of rum. Only one of these, he planned on keeping. That bell interested him more, it just felt too ordinary for the gacha machine to spit out at him to have it be your run-of-the-mill bell.
Meaning here he is, once more, on the network sitting in his kitchen with his shellphone focused on him, holding up a bag of rum with his bell sitting close by on a table.]
Anybody fancying a drink right now?
[Be it someone wanting to stop by for him to pour them some, or just take the entire bag off his hand,

[Namely he'd probably pull a Zack and Kaveh and make a complete ass of himself in front of the other. That, and the bag of rum pn screen has no tears or cuts, indicating it hadn't been open yet.]

[Said with a disconcerting amount of contemplation earlier...]
In Eltrut. Lemme just...
[Turn the camera and walk outside his house to give Cid a good view and idea of what to look for.]
no subject
Aye, let's spare us all the trouble. I should be able to be there within the hour if that suits you.
no subject
Works for me. I'll be hanging outside by the time you get here.
>>> action
See you then.
[Since there's not really much else to talk about that they can't in person, Cid will hang up and SOME TIME LATER will be making his way over to Ranma's place.]
Action!
Time passes, and eventually, Cid'll wind up in front of Ranma's humble abode. Simple cottage, nothing too fancy or extraordinary. Maybe a few more trees than normal, though that could be an effect of him choosing to construct it near a forest. Speaking of whom, where is the martial artist of the hour--]
Took ya' long enough.
[Oh. There he is, dangling upside down from a tree branch he's holding onto with his legs, popping up (or down) beside Cid.]
no subject
Busy man, you know. But I can always make time for a drink.
So, where is this mysterious drink of yours?
Apologies for the delay, work being work
Got it right here. C'mon.
[Ranma made way to his house, walking into his kitchen. Rather simplistic all things consider, but hey, it's home. He rummaged around in a few cabinets, pulling out two glasses. They're regular cups, nothing specifically made for anything alcoholic, but it'll do. The teen began pouring the rum, the amber-colored liquid filling up the glass within seconds while careful not to overflow it.]
Just a head's up. If this stuff turns out to be dangerous or poisonous or cursed, I'm not responsible.
[Should've had Cid sign the waiver... Should've made a waiver.]
no subject
Taking the cup, he gives him a wry look.]
Aye, I've considered that. I did bring some general remedies in case, but let's just hope for the best.
Or I let you take the first sip.

Had I gone by that logic, I would have been a drunkard long ago.

Eltrut's seaside tavern. Sunset?
-> action? (also sorry for wait, rl was relentless)
You're on!
[Come time for the challenge issued, the martial artist made his way to the tavern. He sat atop the building's roof near the entrance, absentmindedly tossing the bottle up and down in his hand without any concerns or worries that he might drop it on some poor leaving patron's noggin. Ranma kept a watchful eye out for the scruffy man, keeping track of the time at the same time.]

It's not like I'm actively seeking them out! It just happened. Multiple times. Like how buckets of water spring up now and again.
[He's a good boy-girl, dad!]

[Like, what force in this world keeps giving Ranma rum?]

[Beat, scratch his chin]
Fifteenth...
[Another pause, before brushing it off.]
Point is, stranger things have happened to me. Is me finding alcohol in unexpected places twice really worth getting all hung up 'bout?

[He sighs, and shakes his head.] I don't know what the top 14 weird things are, do I?

Taste's not that great, but I can stomach it.

You know two of them?

...Aren't you a bit too young to drink?
no subject
Legally where I'm from? Yeah, though I only ever drink the stuff when I have a reason to. Other times was by accident or force.
[Beat.]
I'm not giving any of this to you, Fremi. If I'm too young to have this, then you're beyond young.
[He's not about to let a kid get blackout drunk. Especially not Fremi! He babey]
no subject
[Because he definitely know that both of them are probably watching him especially after the fall out between everyone. Not to mention how he was dealing with his own issues right now and how they're keeping an eye on him too.
All he could do was just give a long sigh.]

Uh...my Father is a she. If you want, you can meet her someday.

[I.e. cursed/magic/canonically rule 63'd.]
How dare you make me wait
[Due to a shit ton of reasons but he won't go into it.]

You could probably sell it or something, turn a pretty profit on it if it came from that place. Hell, I got paid pretty decent just for being an errand boy.
How's it taste?
Sorry for delay
Considered selling it, but I wanted to make sure no one didn't want a taste of it first. And I dunno, hadn't tried it yet.
