It's that time again, kids...remember, a typical play has at 
the most, 5 acts.  Is this wrapping up, or should it be changed
to "Part"?

Nobody ever accused me of being typical.

(a piker, yeah, but not typical...)  ^.-

Again, for clarification:  If Ryo Saotome does not get back to 
his own universe, find Bell-chan, and live happily ever after,
I will hunt you all down.  I mean it.

Time to get meh runnin shooos, eh?

There are some beautifyl scenes here.  The Childra/Ishido scenes
(despite a carp I'll mention later), the Ryo guilt scenes (esp.
the bit where Childra wonders what Bell-chan would think of him,
and he mentions that he wonders himself.)

Specifics:

Ryo Saotome:  Fabulous.  I *ache* for this man.  He's gotta have
Ataru in him somewhere, his luck's so bad.  And *no one* likes
him!  It's heartbreaking...

He takes after his dad, I suppose, in some odd way like this.

Childra Jansen:  Well...the scenes were lovely, but she did seem
to shift really fast from her wisecracking self to the Ryouga
wannabe.  It seemed a little too quick.  Otherwise, gorgeous.

and she started off as such a hussy too... people change, eh?

Ishido:  Seems to have finally gotten his act together.  Hope 
things work out...Chris, you did mention nobbling Kevin and making
off to 2096 with Ishido, did you not? :-)

I owe kev a thousand apologies for not wrapping up 'TPOH' sooner.  Since
his bit takes place after mine, of course he's really got his hands tied
as far as what he could do with that particular story.

But... hey, the character's coming along nicely, don'cha think? :)

Ryo Muhoshin:  Blissfully absent.

*blink*

Oh, that's right, you're not very fond of this particular version.

you're not gonna like act 5.... n.n;;;;

Miyabi:  When she said she was gonna matchmake, this was my reaction:  
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Despite that, very nice.  I'd still like
to see more of Ranma in her...

I take it the matchmaking idea isn't something you like? @.@

Rat:  Hee hee.

heheheheheh.

Lovely bits here with Kuno.  RpM, nice job.

danke. :)

Genma seemed a little unconcerned with the fact that his wife thinks
he fathered a child by another woman.  I think he'd be a *little*
upset...

doh!  Will see what I can do about that...

The Ryouga/Ukyou stuff was a parody of every Ryouga/Ukyou fan I've
seen.  I loved the bit where Akane and Miyabi compare notes ("well,
there was the cave...").

it was a _parody_?  Man, now I'm scaring myself... did I just parody my
own work?

 Why did Ryouga get a flash of his supposed future?  At least with
Ukyou, it was a dream... 

well, he does have a tendancy to do that (see Ryouga & Mousse vs. Ranma
episode)

The Star Wars gags fell flat for me, but everything else seemed to
work.

star wars gags?  what star wars gags?

Overall, nice.  Not even many spelling mistakes, so I guess RpM wasn't
as involved as I thought...

HEY!  *WHAP*

OW!

plot... somewhere...
