   Miko:  And what's wrong with new characters?

Kun-chan: Nothing... I just see a new name and tend not to read it because
new characters usually mean that that character 'fixes' all that's wrong
in Ranma 1/2 rather than using the characters to sort out their own
problems themselves...

   Miko:  No problem here.  I don't fix a single Ranma 1/2 problem--I'm in
an A-ko fic! :P

Allegra: Well, Miko, that's your excuse.  WE can't fix the problems of the
	Ranma 1/2 series because...
Musica: ...we're background characters.  we're not suppose to mess with

Allegra: But I really wish those idiots would stop using us for doormats!
Rumiko: Yeah.  We're suppose to protect the heirs of the School of
	Anything-Goes Martial Arts.  But who the Hell's gonna protect us?!
