Roof, Monday Night

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

Ranma had a good trip, Mizu seemed to enjoy it just as much as he did. The puppy was finally blissfully sleeping, once again in Ranma's dorm room. He went to class today before even getting to unpack. He finally did so just an hour ago and took this trip up to the roof as a... rewarding break of sorts. He took out some energy with long hikes and exhaustless training. He was finally starting to feel the trip now. How long did he even sleep the past few nights? Did he even sleep at all...?

He sits down on the roof's edge, feet facing outwards. If someone came up from behind they could probably push him right off. But that thought obviously hadn't crossed his mind. He swings his legs and tries to focus, thinking for the first time in three days of Setsuna. She was on that mission. He wished her well, hoping it wasn't too late for that...

John does in no way approach and try to throw Mama from the train Ranma from the roof.

Ranma flails from the push and grips a window ledge with his feet only a few feet down from the roof's edge. //S-Shit...// he looks up and narrows his eyes, even with out seeing who it is he knows. "John... Nice to see you too." All this while still balancing like a board, hanging on the ledge with his toes. He bends up a little, trying to flip himself in a way that he can stand himself up on the ledge.

JOhn unloads a bucket of icy cold fresh-from-the-glacier water on Ran-bo. "Dude. I didn't push that hard. And the Oscar goes to...."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"... Just help me up smartass." He glares up at him, reaching an arm upwards and endangering his balence a bit.

JOhn grabs his arm in that buddy-sidekick-movie way (wristlock) and hauls the skinny cockyAsian kid on to the roof. "Next time, don't hang over the edge AND be twitchy."

"I can't help the twicthing. The doctor told me it would fix itself! I'm always bored..." He gets to standing on the roof again.

"You need a hobby. Or a pet. hrm... you have a pet. JOb? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Hermaphroditic love slave who's got hot and cold running faucet arms?"

"I should just kill you... I swear..." He sighs. "You know I really wanted to just leave forever. But Setsuna threatened me."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, she's scary like that. ANd I know the feeling of leaving and never coming back. But still, something keeps me here... for a bit, anyways."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"Hope for your sake that it's not a girl with a sword at your throat." He would say "demon" in place of girl but he would never reveal said secret because he's cute like that.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Try 'mom' and 'gun' and you're a bit closer. I swear, she's part demon or something. Ever know someone like that?"

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He laughs nervously. John is scarily apt to read minds. It's insane.. "Yeah. My dad. I got away though. I hope he doesn't find me here."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I hope my mom finds me here. Else I have to find her, and that's not something I want to deal with now."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"Mm. My dad was gonna make me marry this girl." He's not sure if he told John about that ever.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Oh? You? A family man? And it didn't work out?" John's voice is neutral. Not mocking at all. Nope. Must be imagining that.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"I never even met her. My dad's just trying to get the benefits of other people's families. Apparently he signed me up to marry some friend of Setsuna's too... he's pretty shameless."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"So.... what, your dad gets the bride's dowry and splits? Sounds like a shameful way to roll in the dough. Hrm.... where can I find me some rich dowry chicks...?"

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"Ugh... Now I realize why you always piss me off..."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Because I'm your wild fun side?"

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"No. Because you're an idiot."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"See, you keep trying to separate the two. It's much easier than that."

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He sighs, giving up on trying to fight back, "So... what'd you come up here for anyway...?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I haven't been sleeping well. Too much crap going on. You?"

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

"Nnn. I never sleep very well. You don't see to either."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Lot on my mind. Save TheHumans and all that crap. Plus, workshops. Clay."
