nice to hear from you, now you know why the "Powerup" story
intersected my plans for this chapter.
Fairies fighting with virgins in sight, fairies fighting to
help cure Kodachi, so she can turn into Sailor Rose and
fight the Dark Kingdom, OOH-KAAAY.
can you tell i'm trying to go in at least semi-new
directions here?
as to the faerie rebuilding of Kodachi, they've good
intentions but aren't always that competent.
Nabiki being followed by a number of flocks(?) of Pixies,
UHHN-HUUUH. Nabiki fighting to avoid having a no cost ( in
money ) magic helper. YEEEAAAHH
There is always a cost.
Besides, consider Mihoshi (friendly, attractive, but not
terribly mentally adept). Consider a six-inch tall winged
Mihoshi. Consider this pixie Mihoshi as being able to cast
spells. And trying to "help" you constantly with their
magic.
Given a choice, instead of a mobscene, Nabiki probably would
make an intelligent careful choice among the various pixies.
She would find one that could practice restraint and has
some manner of intelligence. Suddenly having a multicolored
avalanche swarming around you, that's a little overwhelming.
A Soun who is going to throw his daughters suitor and love
out the door. A
decisive ( still incredibly wrong-headed and stubborn )
Soun, who is acting like Genma. A Soun who wants to end the
engagement between Ranma and his Daughter because they
Don't
Argue enough????
As to Soun & Co: during the series at several points, Soun,
Genma, and even Nodoka in the manga all comment on Akane &
Ranma's constant cycle of sniping/beating/insulting is such
a "good relationship" so how *would* they handle a
relationship that wasn't so abrasive?
A Bunch of Yakuza ( a oyabun? ) who decide that the new
Chinese restaurant must contain the particular Chinese girl
they want, because it is near and uses the same dishes as
the restaurant she worked in? Their is only one chinese
cook
in the world and only one girl in the Amazon tribe and only
one way to check on these assumptions.
well, yes. Amazonian cuisine + sudden opening + Sailor
Amazon = They're Here.
How many Chinese Amazons would you expect to be in
the same area of Japan?
The Tattooed villains, who couldn't shoot straight, or Pa
kettle in Japan, No Pa was smarter than that.
True, the Yaks are being used for comic relief here. They'll
be more credible villains later.
Some one is in the kitchen with Di Nah and they're giving
her Spinach. Yes that was an image of a Nuclear bomb
exploding on her bicep. Now we know where he stopped on the
way to Jhusenkyo. ( oops wrong Universe ) Well I always was
suspicious of that Olive Oil Dame. We also why that woman
who Shampoo fought for the championship looked so much like
Brutus in disguise, ( also wrong universe ) but she is
probably there somewhere in this version. I wonder if
Cologne knows the Sea Hag.
i use the name Dowel for that champion runner-up, but i've
also seen Cabinet used.
And, yes, i'd expect Cologne to know the Sea Hag. Heck, she
probably knows the Captain of the Ancient Mariner...
All in all I had a lot of fun reading this, I enjoyed my
self quite a bit, Laughed out loud, read a couple of lines
to some friends. Was amazed, intrigued, and amused, all
check out but still there is one more test to be applied!
People flaming Gregg Sharp for not making sure Akane
marries
Ranma. Yep it must be a Bet Story. Nuf Said.
true. thanks for the feedback. as always, if it has managed
to amuse someone, then i've done what was intended.
