Once upon a time, there was an author. An author with FAAAAAAAAAAR more
good ideas (in his mind) than actual ability to get it onto the page.
I know very few that aren't like that. You don't want to know the numerous
ideas I have in my mind I'd like to write out but simply don't have the
time. Hopefully after a few reviews I'll feel like starting on one of them
before I head off for Neko-con tomorrow. On the offhand chance anyone else
on the list is going, I'll be the short guy with the glasses and a white t
shirt that says 'Pool Sharks' on the back on Friday.
An
author who went from no girlfriend, no job, and no life, to near-fianc�e,
job, and well, still no life, but quite the game addiction.
Luckily Diablo 2 only kept me from writing for about a couple of months.
Luckily I couldn't get Baldur's Gate to run right away, and didn't get
around to trying to patch it yet, so I still do some C+Cing and some writing
from time to time.
Now that the excuses are over with, here's a teaser for the next
installment
of ARST, which, if the gods smile upon me and the perturbations in the
aether are favorable, I will have for your reading enjoyment sometime next
weekend.
(DB looks at the date) Heh. This is what happens to me too when I try
telling people when the next chapter of something is coming out.
So, a teaser. This would make somewhat more sense if you read chapter one
and two, I should note.
I have, highly approved of them, and will look this one over.
*********************************
Those denizens of Nerima who have come to know Mousse have often commented
that the young man has a peculiar way of looking at life.
Actually, though true, this tends to also be true of everyone else in the
series as well. :)
Example one: His amusing (if ultimately doomed) attempts to become
captain
of the Kendo Team without actually knowing Kendo.
Mousse: It's all in the presentation, you know. That's where victory is to
be had. Actual skill is a distant second.
Example two: His conclusion that if one young Japanese female didn't want
to date him, he'd have to defeat her first. (Not quite so peculiar to one
purple-haired Amazon, but this was Japan.)
Heh.
Example three: His belief that it was less reprehensible to have several
dozen other people beat on someone than to actually do it yourself.
Mousse: It's called 'keeping your hands clean.'
Example four: His assumption that the reason said same purple-haired
Amazon
came to Japan was because of him.
Mousse: But it's a standard Takahashian Logic Algorithm. I learned it in my
manga class at school.
Hence, Mousse taking a good long look at Shampoo, then and charging
towards
her, arms wide, crying "My darling Shampoo, you came for me!"
Shampoo: No way! Shampoo only come for Ranma. And only do that if he learn
how to properly pleasure womans, which is going to be long ways off unless
he learn to relax.
Ranma: Pop told me you always run from a woman that shows you affection for
at least a couple of months. If they're still after you at the end of that
time period, then they really do want you, or are just highly competitive
and don't like being told no.
Nabiki: This explains much.
Now, before we continue, let us digress into the examination of another
individual's thought patterns:
One: Creeps are to be pounded.
(assuming the one thinking this is not a creep.)
Two: Girls are to be protected, especially MY girl.
Three: That guy strikes me as a creep.
Four: Said creep is about to try to glomp MY girl.
Heh.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ramna Saotome. Mousse, meet Ranma's foot as he
introduces it to your face.
Hehehehehehe. Nice build up. Good delivery for the punchline, and nice basic
intro to Mousse, what he's doing here, and his mentality. Eager to see more.
