First the question:

I'm in the process of writing a Ranma crossover fic where 'she'
ends up studying under Miz to be a substitute water priestess.
Anybody have any idea what the rules to being a priestess of
Mt. Muldoon should be? 

 I've only see the first OAV, first episode of the second, and 
a couple of episodes of Wanderers.  I know the new tv series 
has a similiar plot in it, but it also gets abandoned pretty 
quickly so it isn't fully explored.  I'll take any suggestions 
that seem logical.

And now, the teaser:

	Miz stood before her two main obstacles to her happiness, her fellow priestesses, Afra Mann and Shayla-Shayla.  The third, the source of her future happiness, had decided to climb a mountain someplace.
	"It clearly states in the rules you agreed to follow," Afra Mann intoned, pointing out the relevent passage in the Priestess Handbook, "that no priestess can take on any other duties during her term."
	"And that includes marriage," Shayla-Shayla added.
	"You're both so cruel!"
	"Now Miz, all you have to do is train a replacement," the wind priestess told her.  "Have her take over your duties and you'll be free to do whatever you want."
	"Because we are not going to cover for you," the fire priestess added.
	"But I don't have a replacement!"
	"Well, you better go find one soon if you plan on getting married before you become an old maid."
	Miz stomped off in anger.

	Sometime later she was relaxing at her favorite onsen.  She'd already tried asking around for a replacement, but when they heard what the job entailed they all refused.  Most of them wouldn't have passed the tests anyway.
	Miz tried tossing a coin and praying before one of the fountains for help, as she had seen her beloved do once.  What she needed was a replacement Water Priestess.  Someone young, female, didn't mind a little hard work, wasn't afraid of danger, and had a natural affinity for water.  Now where in the world was she going to find someone like that?
	"Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" yelled a female voice somewhere above.  Before Miz could even look up, the fountain exploded all around her as something heavy landed in it.  Miz was prepared to get very angry at whoever caused this, but was too surprised when she found a young girl lying unconscious in the fountain.

future scene:

	"So what are these three trials anyway?" Ranko asked impatiently as Miz was searching her house, collecting items here and there for no obvious purpose.  She noticed that most of them were clothes like Miz was already wearing.  Were they going on a trip to some training ground?
	"First, you have to wear this," Miz told her as she thrust the clothes she had collected into Ranko's hands.  "They're some of my old things, so they should be able to fit you, more or less."
	"What?  No way I'm wearing these girly clothes!"
	"Then you have failed the first trial already."
	"Huh?"
	"The first thing a water priestess must do is look like one.  You can't very well do that unless you dress the part."
	"Are you sure that I can't have something less, you know . . . femine to wear?"
	Miz looked at Ranko oddly.  She was dressed strange, but the water priestess had first dismissed it as proper fashion for the world the girl was originally from.  Did not Nanami dress in a similar fashion? Now, however, she did notice how much more the clothes resembled Makoto's woredrobe, though a bit more flashy in color.  But this was clearly a girl.  Something was obviously wrong here, but Miz couldn't figure out what.
	"Will you give in so easily, just over what rainment you have to adorn?"
	"Huh?"
	"Does your word mean so little that you would break it so quickly?"
	Ranko suffered a bit on that one.  She had given her word and her honor was about all she had managed to preserve so far.  If she lost that, she really would have nothing.  "No."
	"Good!  Then you'll try on the clothes?"
	Ranko nodded, but added as she walked away to get changed, "But there's no way in hell I'm wearing any panties!"
	Miz wondered what that was about.  She certainly didn't give the girl any of her panties to wear.  She thought she would have her own.
	Ranko came back some time later in an outfit that was identical to the one Miz wore.  Her face was as red as her hair though, and her hands were balled into fists.  Clearly, she wasn't at all happy about her new clothes, but either Miz didn't notice or chose not to.
	"Okay, so what's the next trial?" Ranko asked through clenched teeth.  This one was bad enough, she just wanted to get this over with.  One thing was for sure, she was taking this stupid outfit off as soon as the trials were over.
	"Oh, no no no.  You haven't completed the first trial yet.  Not only must you look like a water priestess, but you must act like one as well.  I think that we should do something about your hair though."
	"No way!  I like my hair the way it is."
	"Fine, the hair isn't such a big deal anyway.  We'll have to start your instruction on proper behavior right away though.  I can tell that we've got a lot of work to do."
