just a nasty terrible horrible thought...
looking at the scene in the "Cursed Antique Shop" in the "one flew over
the Kuno's nest" OAV (have NO idea where that fit into the continuity) but
saw all these little items that could be worked into a story, and thought of
this...
"Yeah, right Ranma." Akane snorted in a most unfeminine gesture.
"I'm telling you, Akane, this place just creeps me out." Ranma didn't like
magic,
didn't care for it at all. Everytime something magic came into his life it was
spelled T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
"The least we can do is look around, Ranma. Or are you too chicken?"
"Hey, now. Don't go doing that. Gee, you are SO uncute." Ranma checked out
one mirror. Six carved oriental dragons surrounded the mirror, except that
when
one tried to trace the length of any of the dragons, you seemed to end up at
the
head of another dragon.
"Oh REALLY Ranma. You are so childish!" Akane snarled, her temper had been
ready to unleash ever since that run in with Happosai and her father telling
her to
check out this store WITH RANMA. As if she couldn't handle it by herself!
"If you're not going to help, I wish you'd just GET LOST!" She picked up a
book
and flung it at Ranma, who was still inspecting some dumb mirror as opposed
to helping her look for some sign of whatever burglar had been in earlier. Her
eyes
widened, and the scene seemed to go into slow motion. The book struck the back
of Ranma's head and he moved forward into contact with the glass surface.
The dragons moved then, seeming to writhe around the silvered glass which
itself
had turned a scene out of nightmare, and Ranma suddenly was gone.
"Ranma?!" Akane touched the surface of the glass a moment later. As soon as he
had vanished, it had returned to normal. There were no signs the dragons were
anything other than plain wood, or that the glass was anything other than
glass.
Akane blinked. "Oh my."
obviously you can go any number of ways with this. if any challenges are
needed,
let's see someone finish this.
or for THAT matter. we've seen plenty of episodes and fanfics where Ranma gets
bodyswapped or mentally fogged up. Other than Ring, has anyone done
something where AKANE is the one whose noggin gets scrambled. To make it
interesting, maybe she thinks she's one of the OTHER fiancees. heh heh.
