He glimpsed over at the Manor again, and this time a lack of
motionlessness was present.  Chloe was exiting the building.

Odd way of phrasing that.

Yeah.  Did it work okay, though?  I liked it.  ^_^;

The "lack" and "-less-" in "lack of motionlessness" are both negative 
modifiers for "motion-".  Tack a double-negative on top of the inherent 
convolution of a passive sentence and you end up with quite a tangle to 
wrap your eyeball around.

A few grapes can taste great, but Ranma was beginning to suspect that
there was some kinda aftereffect to eating the things.  A few, no
problem.  A lot, they start to get old.  Eat hundreds of the things
for days on end, though, and you about die.  It felt like that one
time he'd eaten two pounds of butter, yuck.  He'd never touched the
stuff again, and never would, either.

 # I did that with syrup once, drank a whole bottle.  Like Ranma, I can no
   longer stand the stuff :)  I do imagine that eating only grapes for

days

   on end can't be too healthy though.

Yeah, probably not.

1 1/2 cups grapes:
90 calories
1 g fat
24 g carbohydrates
23 g sugar
good source of vitamin C
source of vitamin A.

Fun vitamin-deficiency diseases you could give young Ranma:

Have to wonder how long it'll take before he becomes anemic and his body 
starts canniblizing itself for protein...
