A couple of ideas for those who like sending the characters OOC...
First, a Sailor Moon/Evangelion crossover
_Tokyo, 1995_
"Could you possibly be any clumsier, Dumpling Head?"
"WAAH! Rei, you're so mean! I didn't mean to dump the
paper-mache all over you!"
Ami refrained from correcting Usagi's pronunciation, but it was
an effort.
"Will you two knock it off?" pleaded Makoto. "We need to get
this project done by tomorrow morning, or Usagi and I will flunk Theatre
Arts."
"Why am *I* here, then?" asked Rei. "I don't even go to the same
school as you idiots."
"Arrg!" gurgled Makoto, her own temper near breaking.
"Don't mind her, it's just her personality," assured Usagi.
"Well, I just wish Rei had a little *less* personality," growled
Makoto.
At that moment there was a flash of light.
_Tokyo-3, whatever year the series takes place_
"You're ignoring me!"
"Hai."
Rei's terse response did not deter Asuka in the least. "At least
*look* at me when I'm yelling at you, dammit!"
"Iie." Rei continued to look at the wall instead.
"Give it up," suggested Hikari. "You're not going to get a rise
out of Rei, no matter what you say about Shinji. It's just her
personality."
Shinji nodded, grateful he was behind a book.
"Well, I wish Rei had a little *more* personality!" Asuka hit
the floor when her statement was followed by a flash of light.
Coming from someone other than me:
REIREI: Confusion Reigns
I leave it up to the author whether the two Reis have just
switched personalities or their whole minds. Either could be quite amusing.
And the second is for Bubblegum Crisis plus something else...
Adderly waited in the conference room. This was his first time
this high in GENOM Tower. His supervisor, Nakadita, came in first.
"Okay, Adderly, this man is from upstairs, so remember to dumb
down the technical jargon. He needs to grasp the concept in order to
fund it. Don't screw up."
Adderly nodded.
The Vice President entered, attended by his "Personal
Assistant". Everyone knew just how personal that assistance was, but you
didn't bring it up to his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.--" Adderly was cut off by a
wave of the VP's hand.
"No need for names. I understand you have something to advance
my agenda?"
The PA poured tea for everyone, winking at Adderly in a way that
made him quite uncomfortable.
"Ah, um, yes sir. As you know, the human brain is
electrochemical in nature." This was as "dumbed down" as he could get.
If the VP didn't understand it, they were doomed.
"Yes. Tiny electrical impulses, brainwaves, that sort of thing."
"Quite so, sir. Now, every brain has its own particular pattern
of waves, which in a way form the basis of personality."
The VP grunted, in a "go on" kind of way.
"What we've managed to do, in a lab setting, is to use an
electromagnetic field to alter that pattern." Now, let's see if he
catches that, thought Adderly.
"Thus changing the personality?"
"Exactly! We can't alter memories, at least not yet, using this
technology, but we can alter the way in which the subject views the
memories. In theory, we could turn anyone into anything we wanted!"
The VP cocked an eyebrow. This, according to office scuttlebutt,
meant he was interested. "There's a catch, right?"
Adderly nodded. "You need the right kind of cybernetic link to
set up the field, and it takes considerable time to make the brain reset
without alerting the victim something's wrong. And the vic--er, subject
must be conscious at the time. I don't need to tell you what would
happen if people started disappearing for days, and then acted
suspiciously unlike themselves in ways that benefit GENOM."
"You have a sound grasp of reality, Mr. Adderly. You may
continue."
"Now, how this relates to your agenda. As it happens, the Knight
Sabers' armor contains exactly the cyberlink (at least according to our
research) needed for the "Unterseele" system to work. What we propose is
using the KS as a field test. We've identified a weakness in their input
system which would allow us to put in a viral program that will cause the
armor to produce the field we want."
The VP smiled, just a little. "And?"
"Of course, to make sure the field takes effect, the Knight
Sabers will need to *stay* in their armor for at least twenty-four total
hours in a seventy-two hour period." Adderly leaned back.
"Which means a Boomer rampage unlike anything this city has ever
seen. I like the way you think, Adderly. So, what exactly have you got
in mind for the KS' new personality?"
Adderly opened his briefcase. "We can give each one a different
personality, and I'd like to use some from a 20th Century TV show I
particularly like..." He handed the Vice President a memo.
The VP grinned. His Personal Assistant, reading over his
shoulder, giggled. Damn, that PA was one ugly man.
Coming from the first author who claims it...
PLEASE STAY TUNED
The TV show to be picked by the author, of course.
For example, if it's Ranma 1/2...
Sylia becomes more like Kasumi
Linna like Nabiki
Priss like Ranma
and Nene turns Akaneish...
Any takers?
SKJAM!
