[Episode 68501] [Episode 68501]Ranma turned the card over several times but it still didn't make much sense to him, but it would be something to do instead of going back to the Tendo home and putting up with them. It was bad enough that Akane had taken it upon herself to splash him at every opportunity just so she wouldn't have to see his male form that long, but now Shampoo was trying to slip into his bed again just so she could add him as a conquest. First chance he got he was going to 'accidentally' throw Akane into the Koi pond, and with Shampoo........we'll he'd just stay as far away from her as possible. He didn't care how many special herbal remedies those Amazons brought with them, if the guys tales in the locker room was any indication then Shampoo had definitely caught something by now.
Focusing on the present Ranma picked up the handset and as he dailed the number he wondered what it could be. The lack of title and or flashy pictures meant it couldn't be some big company, though if it was a small company doing this then they might be leaving these cards all but blank to get people interested enough to call them and ask what the cards were about. Nor could it be from some phone sex line cause those advertisements always came with nude pictures that had been 'tastefully' censored. Those were a pain in the ass! Everytime they turned up he didn't get just one but three or seven of em at once, then while going through his mail some woman would see those little ads before he could find and trash them and then just give him one of those disgusted looks.........nothing was ever easy with his life cause someone hated him if they all didn't.
Heh, like Nabiki. She really didn't care who got hurt as long as she got paid. And when she was compiling those little folders on people she wasn't above adding her own little comments here and there on how she felt about them, their behaviour or something else. She seemed especially delighted to pick appart everyone of his mistakes and give her own thoughts as to how it should've been done. Like how he met Shampoo at the Amazon village, by Nabiki's reckoning Ranma should have ravished Shampoo on the spot (while he was in cursed form no less!) after the girl gave him the Kiss of Death. Nor did Nabiki seem to accept the fact that as Ranma was born and raised a guy he wanted to STAY a guy for the rest of his life. That seemed to be something that everyone else had a hard time believing....o'course they probably just wanted him to stay in cursed form so they could all do echi stuff. It just.....
"Hello, you've reached the Goddess Relief Office..."
"Oh, hi.."
"...all of our representatives are busy though your call is very important to us so please hang up and a representative will be with you shortly."
Figures, Ranma thought as he hung up the phone. But it was probably better that he didn't talk to anyone who actually turned out to be nice right at this time. Thinking about Nabiki and her 'always right' attitude always did that to him. If it weren't for her he wouldn't have to put up with as much crap as he did from the fiance's, but Nabiki always loved playing her little games. He'd read her file, or diary if you can call a red folder full of papers a diary. Like Shampoo Nabiki liked men and wemon, though unlike Shampoo, Nabiki wasn't a nymphomaniac (atleast it didn't say so in her diary). His appearance had thrown her for a loop, immediately she had fallen for him female form (which explained her squeezing his cursed forms breasts as an 'example') but when he had revealed himself to be a man Nabiki was worried and not a little scared. He.....couldn't follow all of her thinking but he got the idea he had failed her fantasy's in some way and because of that she could never forgive him.
That was just the story of his life, try to be yourself and somebody would beat you down for it.
Turning around Ranma gave a start as he found a stranger standing right behind him! Instead of asking the obvious and stupid questions that would just lead to more trouble Ranma smiled, stepped aside so the girl could get at the phone, and continued on with a appology. Atleast, thats what he tried to do but as he walked away the girl grabbed his arm.
"Excuse me. Are you Ranma Saotome?"
Ranma gave a sigh of defeat before turning to face the girl without his smile. "Yeah." It was better just to face this now and get it over with. The girl was a fiance (after all what else could she be?), he had to set her strait now before she got involved with that hellish life in Nerima. He couldn't outright warn her to stay away cause she might see that as an attempt on his part to get rid of her and would of course discretely follow him back to Nerima (what the girls might do to her....was obvious). Maybe if he showed her the curse he could convince her that he was a freak of nature and not worth any interest. It was a thought.
The girl smiled and sketched a small bow. "I am here from the Goddess Relief Office to grant you a wish. My name is..
