Ok, now I have a few questions for everyone.
1) I have pretty much decided that Veyon will _not_ like the fact that
Ranma has three fiancees if he finds out. He'll probably say as much, to
Ranma's face. My question is, the way Ranma is, what would be his
reaction to someone basically telling him, flat out, "You're a
three-timing jerk because you keep these nice girls hanging onto what's
basically a pile of empty promises!"? Would Ranma take it, or beat the
crud out of our little gymnast?
I think Ranma would pick up the noisy little creep and point out the huge
holes in his argument. Ranma has never promised any of his iinazuke
anything, he was not the one who caused the engagements, he does not chase
after any of them (except Akane when she's in "trouble") and he has
frequently asked all of them "not to bother him" - although I will pay
that he has never made a serious effort to back this up. Ranma's
iinazuke chase him because *THEY* choose to, not because Ranma encourages
them.
Ranma will probably be annoyed with this accusation and *might* try to
intimidate Veyon into dropping it, but I cannot imagine Ranma getting
violent unless Veyon does first. Ranma almost never starts the fights he
gets into - he just doesn't try to avoid them, confident that they will
end in his victory.
And then you have the problem of what happens when the iinazuke find out
what Veyon is saying. Unless he back's their particular candidancy, none
of them (including Akane) is likely to be happy with him sticking his
nose into their affairs. Any violence involving Veyon is most likely to
result from one of Ranma's iinazuke teaching him to mind his own
business.
2) As I said earlier, I plan on having him get involved with someone. I
don't know who, other than it probably _won't_ be one of Ranma's
fiancees. I need suggestions. (And no, he wouldn't put up with Kodachi
or Azusa for a second.) Fanfic characters are ok, as are possibly
crossover characters, as has been suggested. (BTW, UY takes place in
Tomobiki, which is another suburb of Tokyo, and, from what I recall,
somewhat close to Nerima. One of the early episodes of the series has
Ataru in Nerima, getting fried by Lum in her UFO. Anyway.) Ideas are
always helpful folks. :)
One of Akane's friends (Sayuri & Yuka) springs to mind, or make up a girl
on the Furinkan gymnastics team, one of the ones who asked Akane for help
against Kodachi so long ago. I don't think any of them were ever
officially named.
