Furs?
Ami Mizuno blearily opened an eye and was rewarded with a sudden burst of pain from synapses that thought this a very poor idea indeed.
"Morning, sis," said someone who didn't sound much better.
Ami had just come to the conclusion that it was morning, it was slightly chilly, and she was in a very unfamiliar room. In a very unfamiliar bed. And naked.
A door opened somewhere nearby.
"HEY, CAN I GET A CUP OF THAT STUFF YA GUYS MAKE?!"
Ami groaned and tried to burrow under the covers away from light and noise.
"Ya really put on a show last night, ya know."
Ami tried to remember last night but her aforementioned synapses wanted to crawl off and find some more sleeptime.
"Here ya go, try this. It tastes pretty bad, but it apparently works pretty good."
Slowly and carefully, Ami stuck her head back out of the covers and peeled back one eyelid so she could give a distrustful look.
There was her brother. He was looking as if he hadn't gotten much sleep and was wearing some unfamiliar armor, but that was him. Holding a large earthenware mug of something steaming.
Ami sniffed and noticed the steel wool infesting her frontal lobes retreated ever so slightly. "Gimmee."
Ranma being a loving brother restrained himself from making any nasty comments about his intellectual sister grunting like a caveman. He'd simply remember this and bring it all up later when she didn't look so dead.
"You impressed a few people," said Ranma. "Apparently you being able to keep up with the ale and mead drinking crowd to the extent you and your friends did, despite being so much smaller, got you out of some problems. Though Gamling was about ready to take you back to his place and try to screw your brains out, and you seemed to think that was a good idea at the time."
One clearing eye focussed on Ranma. "Huh? Whazzat?"
"Baseball janken with a bunch of aesir? Those guys may not have invented the Drunken Party, but they sure spent time perfecting it," said Ranma, noting the color returning to normal hues in Ami's face. "As for your friends, they're fine and in different rooms. I've been taking care of them with Idunn and Freke and Gere. Oh, and Sif-sensei."
"Hnnnn?" asked Ami as she felt new life flowing in with every sip of the hot herbal mix. An idle thought seeped in that if she could bottle this stuff, she could pay for her medical schooling. "Apples?"
"I been picking apples, some of the juice goes into that stuff you're drinking," said Ranma. "Part of my training involves picking apples, pulling weeds, tending rows in the orchard - that kinda thing. I'm probably gonna smell like apples for awhile."
Ami sipped more on the broth/herbs/whatever.
"There's clothes here on the chair when you're done," indicated Ranma. "I better check on your friends."
As for Artemis:
