Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

[Fairly early in the morning, Ranma decides to take a swing at offering to the cornucopia. Being frugal about money, only a good handful of his tokens are cast into the flames to test the waters. He gets an assortment of goodies ranging from meh (the shovel has some practical usage and the book's basically a paperweight to him) to sweet! Food's always a great steal, he ain't gonna complain about that.

That isn't to say he won't not complain. He's short one item! Ranma waits and waits and waits, snacking on those almonds he received, but nothing. Zilch. Nada.]

Man, what a ripoff-- [Ranma should really know by now to not tempt the universe... His fifth item launches out of the horn and hits him square in his shit-talking face. Which, naturally by the conventions of funny, was a beer mug filled with frothy water. Was filled with water, now it's just an empty mug sitting next to a drenched girl glowering at the horn.

During the day, there's another new(?) face moseying about the land. The new god on the block was a tiny pigtailed girl, whose eyes and hair are a matching pink, wearing familiar apparel to a certain pigtailed brat.

She can be found in the eatery, cleaning up whatever mess is left behind by the bombastic (emphasis on the bomb) entrance of their newest robotic god. Ranma did promise to handle it after Misane reasonably bowed out of their little arrangement. So here she is, whistling a jolly tune while sweeping up rubble and moving larger chunks of debris outside the eatery's entryway to dispose of later.

Later on, Ranma enters the garden to practice her new powers once more. An epiphany struck her last night like a fist to the jaw. And now was the time to prove it. She sets up three sacks of potatoes from the pantry, finishing doodling some animal faces on them with marker. Ranma steps back from her rudimentary test dummies, and holds out her hand, schooling her breathing. At first, it seemed like she was just reaching out to nothing.

Then a gentle breeze passes over the garden, kicking up leaves and twigs off the ground. A second later, that gentle breeze transforms into a strong squall of wind that threatens to topple over anything not nailed down or wasn't a pigtailed girl. With one flick of her hand upwards, the wind shifts course and zeroes in on the potato bags, whisking them aloft into the air for a short period until the winds simmer down to normal.

Glee inundates across Ranma, eyes twinkling with accomplishment and mouth grinning ear to ear. She bounces up and down like a child on Christmas morning, pumping one fist after the other to the sky over and over.]

Woooooo!!! I did it, I did it, I did it--

[this'll carry on for five minutes if someone lets her be]

Cornucopia

[sweetsynergy]

[She was coming her to turn in some of her own tokens, and walks in on this. Stopping and staring for a moment.]

[There is a strange sense of familiarity here, but she can't quite place it, yet.]

What, did Athena bring in more people already or were you hiding somewhere like the robot was?

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Currently wringing water out of her pigtail when Vanity enters, Ranma diverts her deadpan to her. Couldn't have come at a better time, she needed someone to gripe at because this horn freaking blows!]

Nope and nope. I've been here the whole time.

[She'll give Vanity one chance to put those brain cells together and figure it out herself before she comes out with it. Because she's a lil shit like that.]

[sweetsynergy]

[Yeah, when she speaks Vanity gets it. Between the hairstyle, the clothes, the attitude-]

Ah, your curse kicked in, did it?

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Golf claps.]

Bingo, you got it in one. Pick a prize, any prize.

[She sarcastically quips, gesturing to the shovel, "jelly donut" and the parkour book on the floor.]

[sweetsynergy]

Wow, such magnanimity. Sure you're not the goddess of generosity?

[But she takes the definitely-a-jelly donut and eats it, dead-eying Ranma.]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Dammit! That's the one item Ranma wanted to keep! Sullenly and dead-eyeing right back:]

You want more generosity? Grovel and beg before me, or...

[Nodding her head to the cornucopia... before shaking the rest of her hair dry like a dog. Sorry not sorry if some water gets on you Vanity!]

[sweetsynergy]

I'd rather die, thanks.

[She grimaces a little at the splash damage, brushing it off before approaching the cornucopia and tossing in one of her own tokens. And out pops-]

[Well.]

[Vanity picks up the little toy, staring at it for a moment before holding it out to Ranma.]

In gratitude for your boundless charity.

[treebornekettlegirl]

[OKAY OW?????? Fucking harsh.

Ranma's already in the middle of taking it, which. She regrets that immensely when her eyes have the misfortune of laying on it.]

How thoughtful of you. [Utterly deadpan

if vanity thinks she's gonna trash this she's wrong, ranma's tucking it away for safe keeping while finishing adjusting her clothes to be less loose. Yes, she's really accepting it out of pure spite. Get rekt.]

Cleaning

[cannotunravel]

[Even though Misane had bowed out of this, some time later she had come to try some cleaning up. What she didn't expect was to see a new(?) face here]

...welcome? You don't have to do that.

[It's technically her own responsibility, Misane thinks. She should do this, so she does, starting to pick some rubble best she can]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Y'know, it isn't often she meets other girls shorter than her, that aren't old grannies or children. Yes she knows its by an inch so its virtually unnoticeable but. shut up let her have the victory of not being the shortest (human) in the mg!

Ranma didn't think Misane would show after she backed out, let alone start moving the detritus. She was perfectly content with doing this all by herself, but hey, she ain't gonna stop her.]

Nah, I told ya' I would handle it, 'member?

[cannotunravel]

I don't think you did. You...

[.......

Misane puts down the rubble she had just picked up, thinking and staring at Ranma intently for several seconds.

Misane is a detective apprentice and her deductive skills are rather good, even though a certain roleplayer's aren't, haha. She doesn't quite connect the points fully, but she gets a strange inkling]

We have met before. I'm sure we have. [She saw no hesitation in this girl when saying anything -- no sign of being caught offguard by somebody she didn't know. It's not a perfect deduction, but...if she's right, something is up] Did you use some sort of god power?

[To transform and become someone else, she means]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[biggest mood of the century that's why another certain roleplayer mainly plays characters that are only half-smart and half-dumbass.

Hey, she's doing leagues better than most people in Ranma's world. There've been idiots who saw him change before their eyes and still think the two Ranmas were separate people. The fact she's getting this far in understanding is astounding.

Nod at the first statement, shaking her head to the second.]

Nope, this was already here before this godly business. It's a curse.

[Misane's a detective apprentice, so Ranma doesn't believe she'll have to flat out confirm it. Not when there's enough clues and hints for her to ascertain it.]

[cannotunravel]

You're...Ranma, aren't you?

[There indeed are enough. There's only one single person who had talked about cleaning with Misane, so once it was confirmed that yes, this isn't a total stranger, that could only mean this is Ranma.

What she didn't expect was that this wasn't some sort of godly skill. A curse that existed even before coming here...! Now that's far more unusual. She's not used to curses at all. Somehow she's not too surprised about it because she's open minded, but...curses are new turf for her!]

Meaning something activated your curse, but...I can't figure out what.

[That's the one thing she'd have no clues for, yup. But hey, she managed to pinpoint Ranma's identity!]

[treebornekettlegirl]

Didja really think it could be someone else?

[Who else could she possibly be, Quark? Ranma's only teasing here, carrying on hefting large parts of rubble over her head like they're styrofoam and not solid rock.

She'll throw Misane a freebie since she did get it right on her own.]

It was that horn statue. I tossed in a few coins, and it spat out a mug with water in it. Clobbered me in the face and got me all wet.

[That felt personal she's ngl]

[cannotunravel]

[Maybe Quark would be cursed to lose his big ears! That'd be a curse indeed!

So Ranma is affected when he's splashed with water...that sounds so inconvenient]

Water is generally inevitable. Avoiding it seems impossible.

[Although generally you wouldn't see it coming from that horn of plenty]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Oh the horror.

Ranma confirms her answer with an affirmative nod. Inconvenient doesn't begin to describe it.]

Trust me, I've learnt that the hard way. You won't believe how many times I got drenched 'cause some dunce dumped mop water out a window, or some old lady was cleaning her porch. [Too many times.] This is the first time fire doused me with water. Normally it's the other way around, y'know?

[She cracks a smile and a giggle with her light joke, clapping her hands together to free them of dust.]

cleaning

[raisethemoon]

Ah - do you need some help with that?

[ Luna doesn't quite recognize which of the humans this is, but they're all still a little similar to her...anyway, her horn just lights up to lift some of the larger bits of debris. ]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Oh hey, its the night horse oh dear sweet mother celestia she is tol. Or maybe ranma's just smol. its both

She almost reflexively brushes her off, to tell her that it's all handled, that is before Luna levitates a good chunk into the air. That would speed this up...]

I can't say no to an extra pair of hands, can I? Err, hooves.

[technically that's two pairs of hooves. wait lunas isnt even using her hooves so its more like-

With Luna on muscle duty, Ranma can focus on sweeping up the dust and pebbles into the dustpan. Hmm...]

How're you doin' that? [Asking curiously, pointing at the floating rocks surrounded by a blue glow with the broom.] I saw you doin' that during the fight with the robot guy too.

[raisethemoon]

It is unicorn magic! Nearly every unicorn can do at least this much, though the scale might vary.

[ It would probably take an especially powerful one to lift as many heavy things as Luna all at once! ]

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Magical unicorns. Sure, why not. Ranma's sense of surprise has long since been frayed and dulled by her life that Luna would be considered another prosaic creature among others Ranma's encountered.

She idly observes like a cat's eyes following a red dot while Luna carries them with ease.]

I'm guessin' yours isn't so strong then, since you didn't use it on the robot.

[Blithely noting that with another sweep, sweep, sweep]

[raisethemoon]

I did not think 'twas prudent to try picking him up!

[ Partially indignant, but also genuine. There was too much wild bullet-spraying as it was! ]

Besides, living beings are more difficult, especially if they struggle.

[treebornekettlegirl]

[Ranma's taking notes of that. Anyone caught by Luna's telekinesis aren't fully static and immobile. Good to know in the future.

She'd wonder if something that's battery-operate and runs on oil can truly be called a living being, but she doesn't fret all that philosophical junk. Omega was chosen like them too, there's that as well.]

Good point. [Bit of a shame if he goes all terminator she can't just restrain him, but eh, what else can you do?] We would've beaten him without it anyway, so don't sweat it. He's lucky that lady with the strings stopped us from crushin' him like a soda can.

[raisethemoon]

[ At that, she does squint a little more closely. Which of the humans is this? Luna inhales carefully through her nose. The scent is...familiar, but off. ]

I...Ranma Saotome?

[Isn't...? But, wait...]

1/2

[treebornekettlegirl]

[did she just sniff her. havent gotten the first trial and weve already got a sniff check]
