hehe, I can see the revolution starting now.  The men screaming, "No more
kitchen duties", "No more bowing to the girls", and most importantly, "No
more stupid toiletry names" (yeah, we want those cool herbs and spices names
like the Musk) :)

I must admit, I have no idea what the men will do if they succeed in 
winning their freedom... but the scene you describe would probably be 
really close the way Takahashi would write it.

It's not like they can get rid of the women. :)

Interesting read.  Mousse, the puppet master!  I didn't understand why he
needs to be hit with water in the end there, wouldn't it take longer to walk
back then fly back?  I suppose it's to link with the first paragraph, but
then again, I didn't understand that either.  But that's not the focus of
the story anyway.

Well... I may be grabbing at a cliche here... but when one of the 
Jusenkyo crew gets smacked, they often/usually end up in cold water.

Using that thought, I was infering that Shampoo was so skillful that she 
seemed to always get Mousse wet... an illusion Mousse had no intention 
of breaking. Lulling her into believing that she is that much better 
than he is. Thus, giving him an advantage.

So in your 'world', is Mousse really that blind or just pretending too?  I
mean he usually keeps his glasses off, it would make perfect sense if he's
pretending and only takse out the coke bottles to fool the others.  Perfect
way to run interference, no?

I haven't decided.

Either way would work quite well. I think I prefer him with the weakness 
of poor eye-sight. Otherwise, he would be just too good... and no one is 
that good. :)

Now here is an interesting question... did Mousse really fall into the 
spring of drowned duck by accident?

In combat, it would certainly be a weakness... but for surveilance and 
spying, it would be incredible. He's smaller and can fly. He could 
follow anything short of a high-speed vehicle (something non of the 
Ranma characters have). Besides, if you didn't know about his curse, 
would you be suspicious of this duck innocently wandering around nearby?

There is a lot I could do with him.

Thanks for your comments
