Subject: Ranma done goofed and went to cat island, regretting it immensely
Warnings: Catfight, cat boy ranma
[For about a week, those acquainted with one Ranma Saotome might've noticed a distinct lack of pigtails running around Eltrut. No word or sight of the teen anywhere. Some would be forgiven for thinking he went into hiding due to the recent bounty placed upon him. Others, given how some will temporarily be whisked back to their homes and return with nary an explanation, may believe he simply went back home and could come back at any given moment.
The true cause of his disappearance... is a lot stupider than those sensible ideas.
When he heard of a mysterious island cropping up, he knew he had to check it out. Information about it was scarce to him, since Paladins received more intel on itand cause he skimmed the blurb, but that wasn't going to stop him! Adventure's afoot, and he's going to take it! The next voyage to this elusive island, Ranma stowed away hitched a free ride.
And from there, it all goes downhill from there.
That was around a week ago. In the present, the network would abruptly display a notification of a video call from the MIA martial artist. A... disconcerting image showed the camera unfocused and blurred, like someone strapped it to a speeding jet. A cacophony of caterwauls and the crashing of timbering lumber trees hitting the ground was the only audible sound that could be made out. Then, the repeated quick motions loosening it, the shellphone fell and hit the ground, conveniently landing in a clump of grass that propped it in the right spot for a clearer picture.
Anyone observing the feed would find a clowder of warrior cats, some looking banged and scratched up more than others, backs arched with their furry tails standing on edge. They yowled, spit and hissed in the direction of an unseen force, a predator perhaps? Whatever it was, the camera's barely able to track anything more than the red streak that rushed each cat one by one, until all ferocious felines were off-screen.
Strange scene, no doubt. Even stranger is the source of this stream. It's coming from Ranma's phone. This was the first form of contact anyone's got from him in a week, and he isn't even in view. So where is--]
MRRRRW!
[Oh.
There's Ranma, on the branch of a tree in the shot of the camera. Only instead of addressing the camera, give an explanation as to where on earth he's been, or even acknowledge the camera at all...]
Mrreow!~
[... He. Meowed? And started clawing into the bark of the tree he's lurching on like it was a scratch post??
Huh.]

Ranma, stay there. I'll be there in a moment.
[He's glad he set one of his ring locations to the island so he could bring Alhaitham here later...it means he really can be there quickly.]

And he brought catnip.]
Ranmaaa...
[pspspsps.]

Brace yourself Kaveh, cause you got a cat boy approaching at Mach 1 on all fours.]
no subject
At least Mehrak can catch them so they hit the ground more gently.]
...Hi there.
no subject
Mrow!~
[Ranma started nuzzling and purring up on Kaveh, and don't mind if it helps itself to that catnip Kaveh brought with him. It takes quick effect, leaving the boy in a half-delirious, half-out of his gourd state. Outside of rolling in Kaveh's lap lethargically, if Kaveh wishes to take Ranma off of cat island, he's in no position to try to run off.]/small>

Problem: Shadowlily is here and quite concerned what her father is doing.]
Ah, Lily, we're alright, but maybe go play outside for a bit...
Rolled a 12, Kaveh and his living room have been spared
Since Kaveh's currently acting as his catbed, he'll be able to see the days-old injuries marking Ranma's time on cat island. Bites, scratches, tatters and holes in his clothes. Might need one of those bloom cores... probably after he wakes up good and normal, not unless Kaveh wants to start up a feral cat again.]
oh good
...You really can't help making me worry, can you?
[not that he expects an answer. Or for Ranma to have even heard it.]
no subject
The teen, when his mind returns to him, stirred and blinked with a slurred snort. No trees surrounding him, no dirt patches he's resting in, no more of those horrible, green eyes with slitted pupils staring down at him at every interval. Unless that hell had a nice lodge for any non-feline residents to stay in...
He's off the cat island? How? When? Ranma rose up, rubbing his face, fingers grazing the scabs of claws that had managed to nick him.]
Wazzat...? Where 'm...?
[As he's coming too, the place became more familiar. A house he's been in plenty of times before...]
... Kaveh?
[Looking around the room now.]
