"Thinkin' 'bout what's been goin' on?"
Zero startled, and turned to look, he didn't think anyone could get that close to him, when he saw that it was that weird gender-bender human, he relaxed, "Yeah." He turned back to look at the stars, "So, what brings you out here?"
Ranma shrugged and sat down next to him, "Nothin' much. Jus' thinkin' 'bout this an' that."
"Like what?"
"Jus' the different people. Heh, this is the first time in a LONG time that no one's attacked me for no reason."
Zero looked at him and blinked, "Huh?"
Ranma nodded, "Yeah, usually someone attacks me for sumthin' I ain't never done."
Zero chuckled, "I guess so. Oh well."
"I jus' wonder how we're all gunna fit in around here."
Zero blinked, he was thinking along the same lines himself, "Huh?"
Ranma shook his head, "I ain't no idiot, regardless of how I speak, I was watching the news a bit ago and saw how people react to those who aren't "normal". I don't think any of us here are normal, hell, I know I'm not normal."
Zero chuckled, "I guess so. You, that Solid guy, that Vash person and that young girl, um, Hotaru, yeah, that's it, can fit in the easiest out of all of us. Me, well, you can tell I'm not human by looking at me. Brianna looks a bit like a cat." Zero missed Ranma's twitch at that word, "Nuku, well, she acts WAY to perky to fit in, at least to me anyway."
Ranma chuckled a bit and then spoke, "Yeah, well, that Vash guy and Hotaru, neither of them are normal, their energy is jus' to high."
"Huh?"
"Ah, don' wanna brag or nuthin, but I can sense a person's Ki, or energy. Vash's energy is just WAY to high to be normal, and that Hotaru girl, well, her energy's a bit "weird" but also very high. The weird thing is, is that Hotaru ain't no fighter, at least by what I've seen. She don't move like one."
"I suppose you've met a few."
"A few? Hell! Practially everyone I dealt with day in and day out was a fighter of some sort."
"Yeah, well, everyone's got to deal with their own problems."
"I know. Jus' don't go and ask me 'bout mine. I don't like talkin' about 'em."
Zero nodded, "That's understandable."

Grave sat in her room and just pondered what to do next, it was obvious she was on Earth, but a different Earth than what she knew. Where she was from, people tended to ignore the weirdness around them, unless it directly affected them, "So what am I going to do when people come bugging me?" Grave wasn't stupid, she knew from watching the news that people disliked those that were "different", and her looks would easily call attention to herself.
"Still, that's not what's really bugging me. Are any of the Diggers here?" She then smirked a bit, "Heh, if Brianna's here, I'm going to smack her around for taunting me with death the last time we met." What Grave found interesting was the fact that she didn't have an urge to go and kill Britanny and Gina like she did the last two times she was around.
Grave shrugged, "Oh well. I'll just beat Brianna up a bit, then I'll figure out what to do."

Ryoga blinked as he saw someone get out of a dumpster, "Say, are you all right?"
Emi looked at him, "Hell no I'm not all right! Stupid people taking away my chance at getting what I want."
Ryoga blinked, "You know something? That sounds like my rival."
"Oh? How so?"
Ryoga growled, "Because of him, I've seen hell! That stupid jerk, he's what's standing between me and happiness."
Emi giggled, "I guess we have something in common then?" She sniffed herself, "Damn, I stink. I need a shower."
Ryoga scratched his head, "I saw a public bath not to far from here."
"Really? Well, lead the way. By the way, my name's Emi, what's yours?"
"Ryoga Hibiki." Then Ryoga led an unfortunate Emi to find a shower. Heaven help her.
