ok, I know it's friday, everybody actually has lives to tend to, so I'll
make this short.. 

also, anyone who is easily offended by poking fun at southern revivals,
delete this..  I don't need flames, don'tchya know.

*ahem*this is RT's universe, not mine. although, I don't think her
characters would ever do this of their own violition.. 

Mousse wears long, white robes.
preachers wear long white robes (some of them, anyway)

now, this simple idea will not bother most people, so I'll expound on it.

Preacher Mousse!

<camera pans through the door of a revival tent in a wheatfield, entering
on a scene of dubious sanity. MOUSSE is standing behind a podium, fire in
his eyes, and glasses on his face. the tent is crowded with people in pews,
and we can recognize AKANE, sitting as far away from KUNO as possible,
RANMA (in femal form, and chains) propped in a corner, and KODACHI, sitting
next to KUNO, rooting through a purse, ignoring the proceedings. >

Mousse: Brother KUNO-a! Rise, to your feet, brrr-otha, so that you may be
_HEALED-A_

Kuno: I can feel it! I can feel the divine power of Preacher MOUSSE! Praise
the LORD!

Mousse: Brother KUNO, gaze upon the red-headed temptation which has stained
your soul! 
<presents RANMA-CHAN, in chains, gagged, extremely pissed off>

Ranma-Chan: Mpph.

Kuno: It's the DEMON, the lustful DEMON which has stained my soul! Preacher
MOUSSE! SAVE me from this DEMON with the power of the LORD!!

Mousse<drawing a small flask of hot water from his robes>: <solem voice> I
will, brother KUNO! </solem voice> But first-a, I must reveal the true form
of this DEMON, so that the power of the Lord will cast it out!

<pours the water on RANMA-CHAN, just as KODACHI looks up. RANMA-CHAN
changes into RANMA-KUN, in front of the two Kuno siblings.

KODACHI: How can it be, Preacher MOUSSE! How can I have fallen under the
sway of this lustful DEMON as well! tell us, Preacher MOUSSE! how have we
gone wrong!!

MOUSSE: <calm voice, rising up to a thundering final word>You have been
lead astray, dear friends, by the power of SATAN! <audience gasps. AZUSA,
in the back row, faints> and the only thing that can fight the power of
SATAN is the Love of the LORD! <thundering voice>

KUNO: How, Preacher MOUSSE, How can we love the Lord more??

MOUSSE: we Must SING!! We must sing the PRAISES of the LORD on high, so
that all can hear! 

<MOUSSE breaks into song, leading the tent in a recital of 'She's got the
whole world, in her hands'. The rest of the cast is singing, and the camera
pans over to RANMA-KUN, still wrapped in chain and gagged.>

RANMA-KUN: Mpph.

OTHERS: She's got the whole world, in her hands.
Rumiko Takahashi, She's got the whole world in her hands!

<camera pans back out of the tent, retreating across the hayfield.>

<fade to black>

I apologize to the great Takahashi, who we could not hope to match..  but
this demon had to be birthed! 

I also happen not to have time to do much of anything, for any reason, any
time..  so any one is free to take this idea, run with it, beat it, drown
it, etc..
