   Ouch. Is it really that late? I've been busy..
   Anyway here's some responces to questions asked about The two Nameless 
episodes. Thanks to everyone who wrote in comments, especially His 
Jeffness, "Mr. the Rutsch", who was rather lengthy in his responce.

Why did Kasumi make the "chop the sucker up" remark?
   I've always seen Kasumi as one of the least stable characters in Ranma 
1/2. Frankly, no one could be that calm and naive in the Tendo home 
without having a shaky grip on reality. The fact that she's always so 
darned nice only ups her potential as a possible lunatic - dramatic 
personality changes are interesting stuff. In short, a part of Kasumi we 
don't often see just shone through. More on this in Episode 3.

What's the deal with the living stuff?
   Episode three explains it. Wait for it...

Isn't the Shampoo/Kodachi name gimmick kinda cheesy?
   Yes. Your point?

Where the $@#^%! is Ukyo?
   Argh. Either episode 3 or 4, I promise.

Why would Nabiki do a break-in for only 60 bucks?
   Doh! Sorry about that. I misread the currency table. It'll be changed 
in the second draft.

Who was that Bean guy in the car?
   Shame on you. Go directly to the video place and rent "Riding Bean".

Did you really kill off Happosai?
   Not telling.

   Anyway...I've decided to finish the rest of the rough draft episodes 
before I start revising them. Thanks for the name ideas, but I've stopped 
looking. It's gonna remain The Nameless Saga until i finish it.
   Episode 3 is in the works. It's gonna be a bit more serious than the 
first two, although It's still riddled with cornball humor. But the 
series is definitly begining to take a darker turn than I had anticipated..
   But the NAME of the third episode...Gawd, I've been setting this pun 
up since episode 1. It's a stinker. :-)

Seamus: Yer escape route's ready, Mike. You'll be needin' it.
