Blargh... term paper done, check.

Suikoden II beaten, check.

No inclination to write at the moment, check.

Sounds like its time to do C&C...


    And with me so quick to respond, too!

Methinks I need to give you back that Tin Shinji humility award you gave
me awhile back... ;)


    Woohoo! Tin Shinji! It's Ebisu time!

That's all.

statement will be made in reference to this disclaimer.


    Actually, I'd say the list's modern 'Zen' monks tell jokes by 
claiming not to. ;)

something of an alt anyway. 3x3 Eyes diverges before OAV2. This fic 
uses 
the bizarrely vague 'Pick One!' scenario. Enjoy.

One of these days, I might just write a fic based off of that scenario...


    That would be an honor, to create something that would inspire 
someone else.

'Prince' Herb, former dignitary of Old Terra -- Old Terran Year 
2005, July 27th.

"You will pay for this insult!" - Prince Herb, upon discovering his title
had been placed in quotes 


    Hah!

Herb countered by not being there for the finishing kick, 
instead 
soaring upwards in a maneuver that Ranma didn't recognize, and 
lashing 
out with his foot to tag Ranma's head before he could react. Ranma 
flew 
backwards, righting himself before he struck the ground, and flying 
back 
into the battle once more. Herb was waiting for him with Stone Fan, 
but 
Ranma darted past the defense with Dewdrops on Armor.

Somebody's been reading too much Robert Jordan...


    No, some of those are real, but that scene was experimental.

    To quote SA:

    The Experiment...

    ...was a failure.

    Those sections were removed from that scene.

After all, it was an unblockable attack.     ***

"Round Three.  FIGHT!"


    Point-to-point teleportation seriously imbalances hand-to-hand combat.

Herb glanced sideways.  "I didn't know that character had a teleportation
move," he said as he wiggled his joystick to set up his next attack.

Ranma shrugged.  "He didn't in Ultra Super Street Fighter II Alpha Turbo
Tournament Edition.  This is Ultra Super Street Fighter II Alpha Turbo
Tounament of Champions."


    Limited edition.

here. We have to work with these women, and pissing them off isn't a 
good way to do that. Am I clear?"

Respect the local customs... we all know what that means in the Amazon
village... ;)


    I seriously doubt that any of the Marines have a chance of defeating 
an Amazon.

    Cologne (leering): Oh, one of them could beat me.

    Norris (nervous): I, uh, hurt my wrist. You win.

She nodded back, saying nothing until he was only a meter away, 
and 
halted, regarding her curiously. "And greetings to you too, 
Jakugo-san," 
she offered. "What brings you here so early?"

Jakugo:  Oh, just random acts of evil, I suppose.


    Was it that obvious?

Jakugo nodded, his expression placid. "You are ever wise, noble 
goddess of Jurai," he offered, bowing. "I will remember those 
names."

Jakugo:  So that their descendants can be CLEANSED IN BLOOD!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!


    Ouch!

"I can heal people," she offered after a moment. "Hotaru-chan 
can 
help, but some of the other girls are really good fighters, even if 
they 
can't heal, and Mamo-chan's very good with his sword, too!"

I _will_ resist the urge to make a really perverted joke or two here...


    Why? No one else does. :p

and soon. I got my Light Haw Wings constraining the plasma storm, 
but I 
can't hold them up for long."

"Light Hawk Wings" 


    Gotcha.

Fighting down the surge of fear that rose from the presence of the 
beast, Jakugo snorted, reaching into his robe. "But what's one planet, 
when the good of the empire is concerned?" he asked, pulling a 
fist-sized globe of green crystal out and holding it aloft.

Uh-oh.  This can't be good...


    Well, it's actually _quite_ good.

    Oh, you meant for Earth, and the humans.

    I guess you're right, then.

Part A, check.

Part B... I choose YOU!!!!!!


    I guess that PoE would be an 'angst-type' fanfic?

"No! No! Not that word," Ranma protested. "We ain't, uh, nothing. 
Yet. Um. You know. Time. Reavers to kill. Stuff like that?"

Heh.


    I rather liked that part. :p

"He's with Yosho, leading Herb's men to the Joketsuzoku village. 
And 
_you_ are recuperating from what could have been permanent damage to 
yourself, if I hadn't gotten to you faster," Washuu grumbled, 
shooting a 
dark glance at Ranma over her shoulder.

Suggest changing Herb's to his.


    Will do.

"Oh, hey, I hear you can summon monsters," Ryu commented. "Is 
that true?"

   "Yes," Yakumo said quietly. "Tou-Chou and Chin-Kuu. Why do you 
ask?"

   Ryu grinned, nodding slightly. "So they're like pokemon, only 
evil, right?"

   "Pokemon are already evil," Yakumo returned flatly. "My servants 
aremerely vicious."

......


    ^_^

"No one I know of," Rei said, shaking her head. "Hopefully, 
we'll never find out."

You know, one of these days I really need to restart work on my Ranma/SM
crossover...


    Yes, you do.

Ryu narrowed his eyes, leaning forward to peer at what they were 
doing. Between the central pair, like giant black marbles, easily a 
half-dozen spheres lay, clumped into a pile. One of the black orbs 
shifted suddenly, rolling off of the pile, and towards the exterior 
of the pit. The nearest reaver deftly caught it with a pair of its 
spindly, dangerous limbs, and herded it back onto the pile.

Uh-oh.  Reprouducing reavers.


    No, that's a good thing!

Very uh-oh.  


    Oh, you meant for the humans, again. Well, you're probably right.

They ignored Ryouga, stampeding directly after Ryu. He wasn't even 
worth their notice, standing there like he was. "Perfect Shishi 
houko-dan," he said quietly, a haze of green fire obscuring the 
world from him, as a deep pain bit into his soul.

That's the good thing about that technique... the more you need it, the
more powerful it is.


    Yes, but pushing it is a bad thing. There's no such thing as a free 
ki-attack. :p

And another chapter down, some finite number to go.


    Three left.

Must... have... more!


    I'll try. :p

    Thank you _very_ much for the feedback, Evil Twin.
