"You are very good at this bargaining stuff," said Coccooner, acknowledging that. "We don't interfere with each other. I leave as soon as a method of returning back is found. In the meantime..."
"Oh yes," said Setsuna. "I'm VERY resourceful. Trust me."
"And I get TWO packs of Sailor V candies as a signing bonus?"
Setsuna spread her hands with a smile. "As you say."
"I'm not going to let you digitize my computer," insisted Ami. "Who knows what else your technology would do to it?"
"I'm just saying it's a possibility," protested Zack.
"It couldn't possibly work anyway," offered Artemis.
Razor sighed deeply, waved at someone he recognized from the Hill Tribes, and tried to make his way through the various crowds.
"Hey, Razor!" called out some dumpy-looking woman. "Getting good deals?"
"Not at all, Mauve," answered Razor. "You wouldn't believe the price of wootz."
"I've already sold all my village's herbs," proudly stated Mauve. "I'm heading back now!"
"No problems on the road, except one of the footbridges is going to need reinforcing," said Razor, assuming that Mauve had been at the gathering for awhile.
"Yeah, the one over Beggar's Chasm," agreed Mauve. "I can get across though. You're the one carrying the heavy load."
"True," agreed Razor, wincing at the thought. Even when he got done here he was STILL going to be delayed further.
"It may already be in the process," offered Mauve with a shrug. "There was supposed to be some of the others coming from my Herbal Village and they still haven't shown with their loads. Only thing I can think of is they stopped to fix that."
"Well, I can hope," said Razor.
"This is where the disturbance was," said the Sorceress. "I'm getting impressions that it's important to you, but I'm not sure of the How or Why or anything."
"Uh huh," said Ranma, looking around.
Standing in front of the RV formerly owned by Gary Stroaks, Ranma looked every inch the model of a modern Tamer. Would you believe a new Tamer? How about someone totally new to the whole concept and trying to hang onto his sanity by his fingernails?
Kasumi, a Ka-D-Bra, stood nearby. Her antennae twitched a little as she closed her eyes and concentrated on what her new senses could bring her. "Rage. Betrayal. Loneliness. Fear. I'm not getting anything more detailed."
A large rock lifted itself from the ground, moved slowly over, and then settled down where Kasumi could sit on it.
Violet, an Eva in mechanic's overalls, simply scampered around to check tire pressure and other maintenance requirements.
Ranma had both of these pokegirls. Kasumi was listed on his roster as Support - Domestic and Alpha and had been rated in a test as having a high "Cooking" score. Violet was someone he hadn't known previously, but she was listed as a Support - Mechanist. She could work machines and repair a lot of them. Something that nobody else in his group could do.
Kasumi was still thinking about possibilities and going over Ranma's pokedex. With one Battler and two Support, what they could really use was more Battlers.
That left the Elf, as Ranma had traded off the Titacruel, who was:
