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,

[ramuhs]

Hah, fair enough. Well if you haven't had anyone give it a try, suppose I could give it a taste. Or just take it off your hands completely if you have no want of it.

[catsgothistongue]

Whatever works. You wanna come over to my place, or should I come to you?

[ramuhs]

Given that I'm currently on a remote island, may be easier if I went to you. Where do you live?

[catsgothistongue]

Depending on where it is and how far out it is, I could probably swim there. But you probably don't want to wait hours all for rum.

[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.]

[ramuhs]

[...Ranma, please.]

Aye, let's spare us all the trouble. I should be able to be there within the hour if that suits you.

[catsgothistongue]

[He's young and spry and feral, have faith in him!]

Works for me. I'll be hanging outside by the time you get here.

>>> action

[ramuhs]

[Don't waste that energy on useless endeavors!]

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!

[catsgothistongue]

[It's only useless if he fails!

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.]

[ramuhs]

[Cid only looks around with idle curiosity before spotting the boy hanging upside down from the branch. At his "greeting," he just chuckles.]

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

[catsgothistongue]

[Pop! There it is, sliding right from his sleeve and into his hand, grabbing hold of the nozzle. Ranma dropped down and twirled the bottle.]

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.]

[ramuhs]

[Simple indeed, but for a young lad like Ranma, it's more than plenty.

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.
