"Merry little tale"?  You two are stranger than I thought.  And
that's saying something.


: Chapter Two - Perchance to Dream

: ^_-

That's an interesting section separator you have there.  :)


:    Genma felt the familiar mix of pride, sorrow, guilt, and fear 
: settle over him. Pride, because his son was the best 
: practitioner of the Art Genma had ever seen, a natural. Sorrow, 
: because of the other things his son was. Guilt, because all of it 
: was his fault, his and his alone, and not even a man as lacking 
: in responsibility as Genma could fail to recognize this.

Ah, so Ranma was already diferent *before* Jusenkyo.  That means
more flashbacks, later.  :)


:    He could have tried the Falling Cherry Blossom, which 
: probably would have knocked Genma off the pole. Instead, he 
: tried Steam Rises From The Cup, which would have broken 
: Genma's ribs had it connected.

Um, is this Martian Arts or the Kama Sutra?  ;)


:    The whole room stood, save Nabiki, and began to follow 
: Kasumi upstairs. As they filed out of the room, Ranma turned 
: to Nabiki, the odd half-smile playing across his features, and 
: winked. She met his gaze steadily, and eventually he turned to 
: follow the others.

God, this one is *evil*.


:    Eventually she concluded that no-one was screaming at all, 
: and went back to sleep. She hoped that her next dream would 
: be more tidy.

Your vision of Kasumi is hilarious.


:    Akane spat her favorite epititet ("Boys!") and proceeded to 
: hit people. Ranma sat down by the gate and watched with 
: interest.

Woss "epititet" mean?  I mean, it's pretty much clear from the
context, but I'd like to know exactly.


:    Maybe she could help him fight it. Maybe two people were 
: enough to drive it away.

Hope springs eternal...


I'm looking forward to more of this.
