Urd groaned as she lifted a hand to her forehead; how much did she have to drink last night?
Her head ached worse than if Thor had hit her with Mjolnir.
She blinked and tried to work out where she was, though the only thing she could see through her bleary eyes was the silhouette of somebody standing above her.
As she tried to sit up, her head collided with a crash into something hard, causing a quick yelp to pass her lips. Swiftly moving her hand from forehead to crown, she reached with her other arm to feel out her surroundings; she appeared to be lying in a cylindrical metal object - a trash can?
It really must have been some party last night, she thought wistfully; had she challenged the Valkyries to a drinking contest again?
She was about to try picking herself up once more when it hit her; her nose twitched slightly as it caught the unfamiliar scent. Amid the stench of decaying matter and the tangy taste of sweat permeating the air around her, there was a rough, spicy fragrance. She had never smelt the fragrance before, but for some reason her mind immediately associated it with the scent of a male.
She saw the silhouette hunch down before her and the scent became overpowering. This is a MAN! she thought briefly before her consciousness was buried beneath a surge of animal instinct.
Ranma blinked as the marriage certificate disappeared in a puff of smoke, quickly followed by his memory of its existence.
He looked down at the dark skinned woman lying in the trash can before him. She was far too clean to be a simple tramp, and the way she had dropped out of the air suggested that she wasn't a usual resident of this alley.
The most likely explanation he could think of was that she had run afoul of one of the many women in his life and been given a one way ticket out of Nerima. As to which of them had done it, he wasn't too sure; it wasn't really Akane's style to use a trash can, but perhaps Ukyo had mistaken the woman for Tsubasa in disguise.
The woman suddenly moved, banging her head on the lip of the can as she tried to get up.
"Are you okay?" he asked, but she didn't appear to hear him, instead reaching out with one hand to feel her surroundings.
He crouched down in front of her, and was about to ask again if she was okay, when he saw her gazing at him. There did not appear to be any sentient intelligence behind her eyes, instead they had an animal like gleam to them; as of a predator sighting her prey.
Before he could even think about moving out of the way, however, she was on him. He braced himself for the expected blow, but it never came. Instead something far worse was occurring; the strange woman was making peculiar mewling sounds as she rubbed her face against his chest.
Ranma froze as he considered what to do.
