Pizza Planet, Sunday Late Afternoon

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma led the Hitachiin twins down to the island's only pizza place. Not that it needed two. He plops down acroos from them in a booth. //Okay, so 'm buyin' ya lunch ta pay ya back for buying me lunch but... please don't get too much... There's a reason I couldn't afford bail..//

Ranma waits for them to glance over the menu.

((ooc: open if you want pizza too I suppose.))

They both gave Ranma a look. //Ranma, look at us, does it look like we eat mounds?// Hikaru smirked in amusement and pressed the cloth to the side of their body, emphasizing his point.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//No. But 'm pretty thin an' I eat a lot.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Well, you're a martial artist, so you need your energy!// Kaoru makes a fist, trying to demonstrate Ranma's 'power'. //Point is, don't worry.//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Right.// He's a little flattered by them and it makes him smile a bit. //So what kind do you want?//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Hmm...// They pick up the menu and look through it. //One slice of Hawaiian and one slice of margarita.// They decide to go with the weirder kinds.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Just a slice...? 'm gettin' a whole pizza. What don't you get one fer both of you. You can get half an' half.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Shrug. //Sure.// They both try to help Ranma wave over a server to order.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

The server writes their orders after doing a bit of a double take at the twins. That speaking in unison is a little odd.... //Thanks again fer bailin' me... I don't think I'da ever gotten outta there without ya.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//No problem! It was actually quite interesting visiting a jail.// Hikaru leaned on the table and snickered.
//We were just surprised you called us.// Kaoru added earnestly.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Well you're the only people I know with a lot of money that might acutally lend me some... Other than Matilda. But I hate her for an unknown reason.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both go into acting mode, Kaoru bringing a shakey hand to his mouth. //Hikaru... he's only using us for our money... how cruel..// Cue Hikaru bringing his brothers head to his shoulder to 'comfort' him. //It's alright, Kaoru...you can always trust me...// They can't hold their faces straight for long as smirks steal at the corners of their mouths.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Too bad that Ranma takes things MUCH too seriously. He nearly wails, //It ain't like thatt! I jus' meant you're the only... uh... frieds I have that would be able to pay that much an' all!//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They both drop the act and smile. It felt stupid thinking about how nice it was to hear that word...
//How'd you get there anyway?// They knew he was with the band, but what could they have done in such a short amount of time to get into Jail?

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//We got in ta this huge bar fight. I was a bit disapointed by it though. Not enough action.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Ahh. That woulda been fun to watch.//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//It was sorta a sad fight. Drunk people fight pretty stupidly.// He chuckles slightly.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//I can imagine.// Hikaru held his chin in his hand and glanced over at Kaoru, pausing.
//Sorry for changing the subject, but how'd that how Jude thing go?// Kaoru leaned on the table next to Hikaru.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Oh... I dunno... it was... okay.. Jude's much calmer than me so he can beat me in a verbal battle...//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Did you get your point across though?// Hikaru leans back as the pizza comes to the table.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma takes a slice and eats it pretty fast. //I did. Mostly. I talked to Setsuna.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Uh oh.// They both carefully cut the slices of their sides away and take a bite, seeming to contemplate the taste before trying a bite of eachothers.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Yeah well... she said she liked me..//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both stopped mid-bite. //Really?// There was a small pause before they both gave Ranma thumbs up. //That's what you wanted, right?//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Well I do... but then again... she's still with Jude.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//At least it's a step.// Kaoru kept to the margarita pizza for the time being.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Right... If they broke up then maybe 'd finally have a chance..//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//If there's an opening then go for it!// Hikaru nodded and popped his straw into his water.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma wolfed down another piece of pizza. //I will. Ya don't gotta worry 'bout that at least.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins finished their first slices and downed some water. Pizza didn't feel like the heathiest thing, so they were taking it in moderation...

They sit in silence for awhile before Hikaru thinks of something. //Oh yea. I have a feeling that Setsuna turning into a crow has something to do with you, am I right?//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Ya found about that...? Yeah... that was my fault.. I told her not ta come ta China with me...//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//China, huh? What exactly is involved to make someone change like that?// Hikaru took a bite of Kaoru's pizza again.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Jusenkyo. That's were I got my curse. She got it too, but from a different pool.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Jusenkyo? Pool? Did he actually expect them to understand it all just from that. //Which means..?//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Jusenkyo is this huge training ground covered with tons of pools. Every single one is cursed. I fell into the Spring of Drowned Girl. And Setsuna fell into the Spring of Drowned Crow while tryin' ta help me get ridda my curse..//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Ahh.// Yep. That was a much better explination.
//So anyone could just fall into these pools and change into...anything that drowned there?// This intrigued Hikaru. Although the process seemed to be rather bothersome, it also seemed kind fun...

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Yeah... But 's a horrible curse... no one would WILLIN'LY go there... I mena... if ya did.. I'd think ya were crazy..//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Well, of course. Why would someone want to put themselves through such...risks.// Kaoru eyed Hikaru and took another bite of his pizza.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//I ain't gonna tell ya where it is. I'd never subject anyone to that torture.//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They both laughed. //Thanks for protecting us, Ranma.//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//No problem. Shouldn't get yourselfs mixed up with curses.//
