I probbably changed something already anyways.  I had another look at it
recently and decided to retool a few things.  The post-mortem scene is
removed and I'm trying to make the villian a man of fewer words.

WHAT???  PUT IT BACK!!!  ^_^

That's a great scene.  Anyone who reads that much will want to read the 
whole thing to find out what happened.  

Right... got it... post-mortem scene good...
I've written at least four different versions of that scene with
different people saying different things.  From a waiting room
to heaven to hell to Jusenkyo...

There will be _a_ post-mortem scene, probbably comedic, but it won't
exactly be the scene you read, WW.  Sorry :( but I'm tryin' to get it
just right...

Nigel, he just scribbles ideas on paper.  I just had to type everything out
as it hit me.

Hm...  I just scribble ideas in my head.  I let them ferment for a week, 
and if they still sound good, i write them down (type) in my fanfic 
directory.  Then put them aside cause I have no time to write them.

Man, I hate it when that happens.
I've still got Mouse & Ryoga:  The Odd Couple on the backburners
and God only knows when I'll get to it.

I'm getting an idea... murders... schizophrenia... suspense... hm...
dead parents... murdered martial artists... a rash of slain transvestites...

Tsubasa:  Madness
A Ranma 1/2 story

You have this thing for making Tsubasa a bad-ass, don't you?

Not so much bad-ass (that implies to me chain-smoking stubble-wearing
motorbike-riding bastards) as mentally bent to a dangerous degree.

As far as the rambling I said above, I was thinking of two movies here and 
how their concepts could be transfered over...

PSYCHO:  Hey, has Tsubasa's parents EVER been shown?  GEE, maybe
   they've BEEN KILLED, DRIED, AND MOUNTED IN THE LIVING ROOM!
   And Tsubasa plays house with'em!

   "Hi Mommy!  Hi Daddy!  I've had a GREAT DAY!" said Tsubasa
   as the flies buzzed around his father's head.  Daddy hadn't
   moved in a long while, and in fact was a bit dusty, but that
   didn't really bother Tsubasa too much at all.  "School?
   Oh, just great!  Problems?  Um... no... no problems...
   But mom, I like Ukyo!  Shut up dad!  Just SHUT UP!
   I HATE YOU BOTH!!!!!"

DRESSED TO KILL:  Mentally unhinged transvestite goes on serial 
   murder rampage while dressed as woman.  Imagine Tsubasa looking
   as kawaii as can be with a bloody knife in her hand standing
   over a dead slashed and bloody body...

I mean, the Ryoga-as-crazy-psycho has been done already, and with
damn good results that are tough to top (See "Lies", a disturbing
little fanfic that's a must-read for thriller fans)
