	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!
