New idea:  Multiple curses.  In order to unlock his curse, Ranma & Co are
going to have to accept new curses.  Shampoo jumps into springs of drowned
girl, and turns into a feline.  Ryouga:  Half-man/Half Pig.  Ranma...  "I
don't know if I want to jump into spring of drowned boy!"

Actually Taro seems to be the only character that not only merely

accepts his

curse but actively enjoys it and revels in it. he sees it as a blessing.

maybe

that's how he kept the curse from locking, he accepted it and then made

it a

part of him.

<< Or Four times as fast.  And Ranma's had his curse for what, two or

three

 years before it locked up?  Even if Pantyhouse's curse took four times

as

 long to lock, he's what, 16 years old?  He should be stuck by then.  I
 recommend that he find some other reason for all the curses to lock up.
 Like maybe the flooding of the springs did it? >>
    Mm.  Or he might have it suggested at some point that Pantyhose --

who

Ranma has, naturally, been looking for unsuccessfully -- might know a

way to

unlock the curse.
    Of course, if you continue in this vein, that would open up the
possibility of Ranma and Ryoga locating Pantyhose and asking him.  There

are

two ways you can take it -- Pantyhose might know of a cure, or only how

to

delay the curse's locking up.
    The cure option is preferable, if you aren't going for spamfic,

because,

after all, nobody said getting the cure had to be easy.  Also, it'd be

the

perfect opportunity to drag them all over the world several times after
obscure/rare/'impossible' objects...
     "Ranma read some of the ingredients listed on the scroll.  Fresh

albino

penguin blood?  Well, at least he had a better chance of getting that

the

dinosaur skin thong bikini...whatever purpose that was supposed to

serve..."
