If I heard Kasumi speak like this and I was in the Tendou family, _I_ would
certainly be very suspicious.  She sounds more like Ami Mizuno here.

Even for those people who believe in a "smart" Kasumi, the kind of advice

that

Kasumi gives is how to act, how to treat people, not this kind of stuff.

        Now if she said, "I once heard Dr. Tofu say..." it might be more
believeable...

Disagreement. As we all well know, Dr Tofu is utterly unable to
speak any sense when facing Kasumi. But I indeed agree that an
intelligent Kasumi (as portrayed by Richard Lawson for example)
would more nudge than bludgeon like the way she lectures her
family about Ranma.

So maybe involving Dr Tofu in her plot by sending Ranma to see
him would be a good thing?

Actually, it made sense to me when the text mentioned that Nabiki was 
agreeing *because* it was unlike how Kasumi normally acts. IE, usually 
they can clock up some of what she sasys to a kind of 'Kasumi Factor' and 
possibly not pay it its full seriousness, but this means that it's 
nofoolinround time.

Alltogether, though, I like the way Kasumi accepts Ranma in this fic, 
especially in part one. So nice. So touching.
