Hiroshi sighed. "Whatever, Ranma. I just don't wanna hear any more
about
the oh-so-grand Saotome honor."
Ranma: We have honor?
Genma: News to me, boy.
Ranma: EEP! Who ARE you?
Genma: [pours warm water over his head] Hello, Dear.
Ranma: MOM?!?!?!
Doesn't seem to make much sense, does it?
Nope. Genma wouldn't admit he didn't have any honor.
"Hey, man, I'm not the one who's going to be feeling good over
this,
ne?"
Japanese: over this, na?
(Okay, I don't know Japanese. But I recall seeing that "na" is the
male equivalane t of the female "ne." Someone feel free to prove
me
wrong.)
I can only think of one instance that "na" is used as a stand-alone
interrogative particle, although I'm sure there's more. It's in
Manatsu
no Eve when Tenchi is on the roof talking to Ryouko after he slapped
her
earlier. Besides, Tenchi says "ne" often enough. And we KNOW what
kind
of manly paragon Tenchi is, ne?
The only time i have ever heard the word 'na' [not that i hear or read
any japanese that often] in anime is meowth at the end of the Rocket
Gang introduction, and then it's not in a question [Nyante Na!]
"Grrr!"
Hiroshi: That's much cuter when you're a girl. [runs]
Ranma-chan gives chase, brandishing a riding crop... wait, wrong fic.
:P
*blink* *blinkblink* what fic?
"Hey, Nabiki-chan," she squeaked. The cold metal of the ten yen
was
generating all sorts of strange sensations.
I will refrain from making comments about metal in electrolytic
solutions. Really. I will!
Oh? Done the necessary research, have you? ;)
You don't need hands-on [or a particular something other than hands]
experience to do that research. at least not down there. but there
needs to be two metals involved. try biting down on a penny if you have
braces. [a lot milder than licking the contacts on a nine-volt battery]
However, Nabiki was not the daughter of a martial arts family for
nothing. "Hmph! Prepare yourself."
suggest: the daughter of a martial artist
or: a daughter from a martial arts
(She's not the family's daughter; she's Soun's.)
Mmmmaybe. I'm not sure the point's that strong, but I'll review it.
It stands well enough as is.
"Go-go-gomen."
sp: Go-go-Gadget
or: Mach Go-Go-Go
;)
yeah, yeah...
In all seriousness, try 'G-g-gomen...'
Other coments aside, I really like this portrayal of Nabiki. Her
no-nensense comments are very refreshing. It's a nice change from
Nabiki the lesbo/bi that appears in just about every other lemon.
Thanks! I don't necessarily see her as lesbo/bi, although I suppose
anything's possibly given proper setup. I was more concerned here
with
keeping her more or less IC.
Her sexual orientation is not towards a specific gender, it's towards
money.
[noticed that in one of Caroline Seawright's fics, she used a roll of
coins as a..... heh heh.]
Shampoo: Is good, yes? Shampoo is foreign! How I get in? [peer]
Ranma: [flees]
...right into Kodachi's arms.
Kodachi: Oh, hohohoooo! It has come to my attention, Ranma-sama, that
I
have European relations--
Kodachi would not be proud of such a thing, she would probably consider
herself unworthy of him. AND DEFINITELY WOULD NOT be attracted to his
girl-half, not knowing that it was him.
Ranma: [fleas, er, flees]
...right into Mariko's arms.
Mariko: F.. O.. R.. E.. I.. G.. (note that I didn't use "gaijin")
y not?
Ranma: [flops, er, flows, ERRR, flees]
...right into Doug's arms.
Doug: I'm completely foreign.
Ranma: Thank Kamisama. Let's go.
Scene closes with Ranma-chan running away into the sunset with a
startled gaijin.
:) :) :) :) :)
*blink-blinkblink* Oh-Kaaay. *stares at Dave on the couch* Tell me more
about your mother.
Nabiki shuddered, then knelt, grasped Ranma's boxers, and yanked
them
down.
No comment. Just another sentence taken out of context...
[innocent whistle]
Sounds like something out of Accidental Goddess... Oh, wait! I wrote
that, too! :P :P :P :P :P (Sorry, more tongue emoticons)
Those could also be taken out of context. [that emoticon happens to be
an accessory part of several ecchi emoticons.
Nabiki teetered on the edge of indecision. She REALLY wanted that
ten
yen, but THIS! <Gad!>
Maybe she should fetch some chopsticks...?
*SHUDDER* That brings to mind coat hangers. Anyway, she'd probably
draw
an audience that way.
Speaking of coat-hangers, she might not draw an audience that way...
this does take place in a bedroom with a closet, right? nabiki's room,
if i am not mistaken?
Akane: What is going ON in there?
P-chan: BWEE!! (Isn't P-chan dialogue really rather pointless?)
Akane: Right! I think Oneechan is sucking Ranma dry again.
P-chan: BUKIIIII?!?!
Akane: Of money. What did you think I meant?
P-chan: Whew! That's a relief-- er, Bwee!
Akane: [O_o] ...!
?
Nabiki brought her hand forward and then stopped. "Uh, spread,
*HACK*
your legs."
I await the sequel, wherein we discover Gosunkugi's newfound
fascination with the telephoto lens and directional mike...
*Eyes bug out*
Good material for him.
<blink. blinkblink>
[...]
"Oh." And she did, subsequently spreading her legs to about
one-and-one-half shoulder widths.
Ah, ready stance. Although that's an odd kata he's starting...
Gives new meaning to "unrestricted grappling".
ITYM "unrestricted groping." also translated to english as anything
goes extramarital arts.
[naughty bits snipped]
*pout*
You wrote them, you don't need to see them again
Nabiki felt the coin slide along the inside of one finger.
inside of a finger?
"Almost got... it..."
Red Leader: Negative, negative. It didn't go in.
It just impacted on the surface.
Gold Leader: I'm going in to make another run. Wait! My stabilizer's
been hit!! What IS that?! [Gold Leader watches the surface of a giant
mallet grow ever closer...
Akane gawked for two seconds and then wilted to the floor, a
little
whisp of steam rising from the back of her head. P-chan went down
with
her, two jets of blood arcing from his snout.
By Newton's 3rd law, wouldn't the reaction to the jet stream of
blood
make Akane fall backwards? ;)
To much mass to move--
*WHAM!*
Akane: Are you saying I'm FAT?!?!
Author: No, just dense. Mass, not volume.
Akane: uhh... okay.
You know, i'd expect even AKANE to get a nosebleed in a situation like
that.
Everyone but Ranma and Nabiki face-faulted. Soun was shortly in
full-blown wail #1002: 'My daughter's a prostitute! Or is Ranma a
prostitute?! I'm so confused! And for very little money!!'
Soun: Why didn't you see me first? You could have come to me
if you needed money! I would have paid you!
Everyone else: [bigsweats]
Ranma: How much ya got in yer pocket right now?
Soun: [blink]
Ranma: You DO have somethin' in yer pocket?
Better to make that a statement. i think soun would have an... *cough*
...by now.
Sorry, folks. That's all for this edition of... As The Tendou Turns!
Akane: Turns?
Kasumi: You know, as in 'rotate'.
Akane: Rotate?
Kasumi: *sigh* Ranma-kun, shall we demonstrate?
Ranma: [drooling] Un!
Okay, that's enough of this rot... :P
"And did I hear someone calling you a... RANKO! YOU DIDN'T!!"
Ranma blinked. "Didn't what?"
"Did a man take your virtue?!"
Uh... Non-sequitur? This sorta comes outta left field from Nodoka.
Urrr, really? It seems to flow okay to me. I mean, she walked in when
Genma called Ranma a redheaded slut - the implication that a man took
her virtue seems well-established.
if those were Genma's exact words, he could have been referring to the
drink:
1 1/2 oz Jagermeister
1 1/2 oz Peach schnapps
Fill with Cranberry juice
Serve in shot glass.
[looked that up at www.webtender.com]
"The one that's still in my..." She was pointing at her crotch
when
Nodoka fainted again.
I have to ask, is the ten yen named "Virtue?" :j
Everyone seems to want to take it from Ranma...
Oh... Oh, you really set yourself up for this one:
Azusa: Virtue-chan!
Ranma, being hauled away by a grip at the junction of her legs: OWWW!
(oops!) ITEEEEEE!!!
Azusa: I'll take you home, shine you up, and we'll live happily ever
after! Ne, Virtue-chan?
Ranma: HEEELLPP MEEEEEE!!!
Doesnt work when you consider the word virtue is Latin, not French.
Mmm, disagree. Potatos to potatoes.
In actual fact, one of those is incorrect.
"ARE YOU AS BLIND AS MOUSSE, LADY?! HE'S RIGHT THERE!!"
My congratulations at not turning HE'S into HE"S. ;)
? Sure, uh, Doug. You're welcome... Oh! You mean not shift-keying the
apostrophe. Got it.
I'd kinda expect from ranma, "ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT! NEXT CHANCE I GET,
AKANE FINDS OUT ABOUT P-CHAN!" [avoided ,<; '", AND -_ thank you very
much]
Taking a break so he could towel off and get into some decent
clothing,
Ranma found himself in front of, and gazing longingly at, Akane's
bedroom door. [...]
Yuka: I guess Akane's not the only one into doors...
Sayuri: Too weird.
Yuka: It must've rubbed off on poor Ranma-kun.
Sayuri: How does something like that "rub" off?
Yuka: Hmmm, I could show you. Are you free for about the next, oh,
twenty minutes?
*blink-blinkblink-spew.on.keyboard*
Nodoka beamed at Ranma. "I think she likes you."
Ranma turned green, and Nabiki moaned from the floor.
Nodoka: She *really* likes you! Look at her moan!
Nabiki: That's it; I'm outta here.
Ranma, deciding to play it up, tackles the fleeing Tendou: Wait, er,
CHOTTO MATTE KUDASAI!! Ai shiteru, Nabiki-chan. Oopsie! I better go
get
some cold waaa-ter (singing). Then you can be my aijin-no-onna!!
Nabiki: Oog... urg... ack...
Ranma: Okaasama said it was OOOO-Kay!
Nabiki: ... ... ... oog ... ...
Ranma: I knew you'd see it my way! Oooo! Ranma Nabiki dai suki!
Nabiki: ... o ... o ... g ...
Then ranma got some cold water, tied nabiki up, and had some fun with
her, also sharing her with akane, who was really in love with nabiki
despite not being a lesbian or bisexual.
They both sprang into action, but Ranma's decade-plus of martial
arts
training gave him the advantage. He had snatched the coin by a
wide
margin, leaving a fuming Nabiki to slap her palm where it had
lain.
suggest: Ranma's decade of
or: years of
(While I know what you mean, decard-plus looks weird.)
Yes, I agree. Decard-plus *does* look strange. :P Seriously, will
fix.
Decade-plus Looks fine where it is, with the teeny tiny exception that
ranma's only had -exactly,- not -more than- 10 years of martial arts if
i remember correctly
Nodoka: So, you like girls... Do you think I'm pretty?
Nabiki: ...!
Nodoka: [thinks] Well, thinking up a proper response to that will
keep her busy for a while...
Unfortunately...
Nabiki: YES!! Yes, oh, YES!!!
*GLOMP!*
Nodoka, finding herself with a mouth full of Nabiki's tongue:
MBLGRF!!
excuse me. *runs to bathroom with hand over mouth*
How does Nodoka know that Nabiki is "the house spy"?
Ranma told her on their walk. Besides, Nabiki gave herself away when
she
face-faulted where they could see her... No?
No. she could have been listening just because it concerned her.
Her face fell back into the set of stone she'd had earlier in the
tearoom. "I'm not going to say this ever again: go - a - way. I
never
want to see you again."
Tearoom looks awkward. kinda seems to say tear-room
Ranma: Well, I live here, so that'd be kinda difficult.
Akane: [glare]
Ranma: [wilting] Tough croud.
suggest: Go. A. Way.
Will do.
"If you EVER do anything like that again, I'll tell Shampoo and
Ukyou
AND Kodachi how much you like sticking things up inside! GOT IT?!"
Shampoo: Is all good!
Ukyo: No problem!
Kodachi: Of course my dear Ranma likes that!
Akane: I meant up herself.
Shampoo: Aiya!
Ukyo: Um... What? [littlesweat]
Kodachi: My Ranma dearest isn't like that!
Shampoo: Amazon law say womans that do that have very bad place.
Akane: What do you mean?
Shampoo, pointing at crotch: Very bad place.
Akane, turning green: Oog.
Ukyou: What, rust?
[Group face-fault]
I don't get it either. I thought rust when i read it too, what was it?
