[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 it and 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.]

[You know... It's been a couple of days since Izuku has heard from or seen Ranma. He's not sure if that's concerning or not because Ranma does like to spend a lot of his time doing his own thing. But... Worried friend and shipmate is worried. Not to mention the manta board postings this month..........

That's when he sees the post.]


Saotome-kun???

[Why is he acting like a cat...?? Did he get hit with a weird tattoo like Toge as well?!]

Be careful, you might scratch your screen...?! And don't hurt yourself?!

[Just what in the heck is going on here...]

I didn't know you had two curses, Saotome-kun. Did you get hit with a cat curse of some sort as well? [...] If you can understand me, say ...two meows.

Saotome-kun?! Saotome-kun!!

[Well... This is bad. Izuku isn't exactly sure what he should do but he doesn't want Ranma to hurt himself. It's pretty hard to tell what the heck is going on with the camera going haywire like this. Oh boy.]

You have to calm down!!? Did someone give you ... catnip too?! Please stop!!

[Well, the plus side is at least that got Ranma's attention?!]

N-Now, hold on... Just listen to me for a few moments, Saotome-kun. Okay? You should try to come back home. So we can find out what's happening to you. Can you do that? Can you go home?

[ppspspspspsps]

I can get some tuna out for... you...

[ppspspspspsps???]
