Hi, Today's been prety slow on the ML, so I decided to throw out a few
of the strange concepts that're always bouncing inside what I tenatively call my
mind.
1 A story where Ranma learns that he's the granson of the Monkey king. Genma
has a number of character traits in common with Sun Wu Kung, especially before
he became a monk.
2 Aliens land in Nerima and offer Ryouga a job as ship Navigator. It turns out
that the reason Ryouga's so bad with directions is because he instinctively
attempts to navigate by Hyperspatial geometry rather than earth's actual
geometry.
3 An idea for KOR, have Kyosuke meet a member of an esper clan from another
country. As to how each realises what the other is, here's a few possibilities:
Aura sight, the other esper can see aura's and Espers aura's are distinctly
different from most peoples. Astral Projection: The esper, or another member
of the foreign clan practices Astral Projection; an espers astral body is
normally only visible if the esper wants it to be, but other espers can always
see the astral body clearly. Storytelling: The foreign esper has taken some of
his experiences and published them as science fiction. However Kyosuke sees the
translation and realises that the descriptions of how it feels use the power are
100% accurate. Suspician leads to conformation.
4 An extension of idea 3, though this is more linked to KOC. A member of the
foreign esper clan is visiting, and leaves his breifcase in the wrong place.
The clan has been working on finding ways to awaken latend psionic abilities in
ordinary people so that they can stop hiding their abilities. The notes on a
promising drug are in the breifcase. While trying to discover who the case
should be given to Katsu lookes the notes over, and the concepts are so
facinating he starts up a little experiment based on some of them. The
breifcase's owner shows up, but gets caught up in talking to Katsu and
supporting the experiment. Anyways there's an explosion, and a cloud of vapor,
and ordinary folk who breathed it in temperarily develope Psionic abilities.
5 A swirling void envelops the Tendo Dojo and transports it to El-Hazard.
El-Hazard is recovering from the war with the Bugrom, how will they deal with
Ranma & Co., especially when everyone's dimensional abilities start manifesting.
Speaking of which, would Makoto be able to use his ability to use The Power Key
Staff to duplicate Ifurita's abilities? That could be very, interesting.
