Not noticing any particular change, Ranma took a peek at his card.
Surprised, he took a better look. Then he consulted his rulebook.
After a moment of thought, Ranma put the card to his chest and concentrated.
Annoyed with the wait, Akane had what she thought to be a fair demand. “Well? What is it?”
Ranma ignored her and continued concentrating.
Then he looked at his card and a smile started to grow on his face.
At this point Akane was starting to get a bit creeped out, both by his smile and the thought that he’d gained some sort of perverted card he actually liked. “Stop that! You made us tell you about our cards, so spill it already!”
Fully grinning, Ranma held his card up before Kasumi.
Looking at the card, Kasumi read it out loud in the hopes to calm her little sister. “Ace of Hearts, Curse Control. You no longer change due to water, you may change at will. One hour in female form will allow for sixteen hours in male form.”
Ranma suddenly turned into a girl and was still grinning like an idiot. “I was just trying to think of something good to do with my wild card. I thought of something good!”
Something about Ranma being so happy grated on Akane’s nerves, causing her to rain on his parade. “You mean having to spend time as a girl is good?”
Ranma stuck out her tongue at Akane. “If it means I get to choose when and where, I still like it. No more embarrassing accidents, no unexpected changes.” Ranma grinned and rocked back and forth like the happy maniac she was. “Also, I can do this too.”
Ranma shifted again, still a red haired girl, but becoming taller, more slender and less busty. Ranma’s new form was of similar height and build to Kodachi, except a bit more athletically muscular. “Curse control, I can do this form too, and it still charges up guy time for me to use later.”
With Akane still looking upset, Ranma turned her grin towards Shanpu. “Well, sound like a good deal to you? You get you a wild card and you can do this too.”
Shanpu nodded. “Nnn, too true, is good choose when change. Pervert girl is no understanding curse troubles.”
Although being patient and well-behaved to make a good impression on her Ranma-sama’s mother, the current events were starting to pierce Kodachi’s card induced good mood. “Excuse me, but where did my Ranma-sama go?”
Ranma raised her eyebrows in thought as she considered whether to explain it to Kodachi or not. It wouldn’t just affect her however, Ranma actually worked to keep everyone’s curses a secret for the most part. Leaning over, Ranma lowered her voice as she spoke with Shanpu. “Should I explain it to her? If she figures out your curse, she might use it against you.”
Shanpu frowned at the mere thought since there was a lot a heartless person could do to someone that turned into a cat. “Shanpu think keep secret please.”
Ranma nodded and straightened up, giving a shrug as she didn’t particularly care that much about explaining it to Kodachi anyways. “Magic. Also, my name happens to be Ranma.”
Kodachi frowned in thought as she’d recently learned the female Ranma was supposedly his twin sister. She could somewhat see the resemblance after meeting his mother, so she’d reluctantly accepted that they were siblings. “Are you also Ranma-sama’s relative?”
Ranma resumed grinning like a maniac. “Yeah, guess we’re triplets. Our parents were really lazy naming all of us Ranma, huh?”
Kodachi’s new energetic nature kept her mood fairly upbeat as her smile slowly returned. “Yes, that is rather confusing.”
The red-head on the other hand was enjoying the absurdity of the situation. “You can call me Ranma-kun if it helps.”
A glance around revealed that she seemed to be missing out on some joke, not that Kodachi was particularly interested in understanding these people. Still, she could play nice a bit to make a good impression with certain people. “Very well then Ranma-kun.”
Ranma turned to Kasumi with a grin. “Will you be confused Kasumi-san?”
The older girl smiled at the humor. “I think I’ll manage Ranma-kun.”
Ranma glanced at the card draw timer, noting there were only a few minutes left in the current round. Time confirmed, Ranma turned her grin towards Nabiki. “So, you gonna play?”
