You ever just suddenly have a dullusions pop up and start talking to you?
This didn't happen to me too often before, but ever since I started
working on my first Ranma fanfic, "Purple-haired Destiny" I keep hearing
Shampoo berating me to get it finished..
Anyway, I was in my MUSH waiting for a friend of mine and I got bored...
so I double loged on and started talking.... here's the transcript of how
it when... I thought someone might find it intresting. ;)
Suffer from insanity? Why no, I rather enjoy it... ;)

shampoo has connected.
shampoo says, "hiya!"
Ryan groans
shampoo says, "well? why you no write me story, Ry-san?"
Ryan says, "I'm working on it Shampoo, really."
shampoo says, "Shampoo know that. You think Shampoo dumb just
'cause she no talk well?"
shampoo says, "Shampoo want know why you no work on _now_"
Ryan says, "well, I, uh.. you see... that is..."
shampoo sighs, exasperated
shampoo says, "look, all shampoo want is live happily ever after with
Ranma.. You *PROMISE* Shampoo you write story like that!"
Ryan says, "I know Shampoo, I know.. but it's not like your relationship
with Ranma is exactly easy to fix. I
mean, if you want to live happily-ever-after, the two of you have a lot of
problems to work through."
shampoo sighs
shampoo says, "shampoo know. Ranma always treat Shampoo like dirt!
He so _mean_!"
shampoo says, "Why he no like Shampoo? why?"
shampoo looks close to tears
Ryan says, "well.. ah, hey now.. I'm going to fix it, right? I mean, its not
like you've been the nicest to him,
either. I mean, you _do_ try to drug him all the time. Ranma doesn't like
being forced into anything"
Ryan says, "and besides, after he first met you, you tried to kill him!"
shampoo says, "but Shampoo no know he really boy! Would never have
tried kill if knew that... and besides,
no would need to drug him if he not be so mean to Shampoo!"
Ryan says, "well, you two have done some good things for each other...
Remember the time at the ski resort?"
shampoo has tears welling up in her eyes
shampoo says, "<sniff> I..I remember.. he told me that he needed me!
then he just leave me behind! Ranma so mean sometimes!"
Ryan says, "well, why do you still like him then? why don't you find
someone else? I mean, Mousse is pretty nice, and he's pretty devouted
to you too."
shampoo says, "Bah, Mousse stupid. Just want shampoo to show
manhood or something."
shampoo says, "Ranma is mean some time, but most time he so kind..
and strong.."
shampoo has far away look in her eyes
shampoo says, "he always do good things for people... I always try to
help, but he always ignore me!"
Ryan says, "well, maybe he does notice, and just never says anything.. I
mean, his other fiancee's would beat
the heck out of him if he ever expressed an intrest in you..."
shampoo says, "But Shampoo would protect husband!! stupid spatual
girl and violent tomboy not stop our love!"
You say, "woah woah woah... you think he would appreiate you just
beating them up?"
shampoo says, "sure, solve problem, right?"
Ryan shakes his head
Ryan says, "shampoo.... you have lots to learn about how to deal with
relationships.. almost as much as
Ranma."
shampoo says, "well, if it get Shampoo Ranma in end, then Shampoo
willing to learn.. Shampoo willing do
_anything_ for airen..."
shampoo has dreamy looky again.
Ryan says, "good, then you see why its taking me so long? I have to
teach both you and Ranma how to behave yourselves without beating
the hell out of everyone around you!"
shampoo says, "what wrong with beating everyone up?"
Ryan puts his head in his hands, sighing in frustration.
You say, "argh... Shampoo, trust me on this one. If you want a long-
lasting relationship with Ranma, you
have to learn how people other than Amazons behave."
shampoo says, "<suddenly suspicious> Is that why you kick Shampoo
out of Amazon tribe?"
Ryan says, "yes shampoo, that is why. I'm sorry I had to do it, but you
needed to have your pride broken
before you and ranma could properly relate to eachother."
shampoo says, "<sigh> ok Ry-san. Shampoo wait for you to be done.."
Ryan says, "don't worry Shampoo.. I've already got plans for a sequel
where you and Ranma fight your way
back into the Juketsuko tribe. You may even become the leader!"
shampoo says, "What? Shampoo replace great-grandmother as
matriarch of tribe? Lucky! Shampoo so
happy! Arigato Ry-sama!"
Ryan says, "oh, it's Ry-sama, is it now Shampoo?"
shampoo says, "well.."
Ryan says, "you see? this is why its so hard to get Ranma to fall in love
with you.. you need to quit being so
manipulative."
shampoo says, "ok... if you say so, Ry-kun."
Ryan says, "good. now, off with you shampoo, I think Whalnut should
be coming back anytime now."
shampoo says, "ok, but after you talk to nut-girl, you write Shampoo
fanfic?"
Ryan says, "yes Shampoo, but stop calling her that!"
Ryan says, "besides, you have the name of a hair-care product, so you
aren't exactly one to make fun of other peoople's names."
shampoo says, "but Shampoo is ancient and respected name in Amazon
tribe! was name of great-great-great-grandmother!"
Ryan says, "<sigh> fine fine, just go, ok?"
shampoo says, "ok, ry-kun. I go now. Bie Lao!"
Ryan says, "bie lao, Shampoo, Bie lao..."
