  Randomness below.  Snippage throughout.

Randomness abounds... This fic was pretty random, come to think of it, but
then, you do point that out somewhat later. :P

  > Onna-Tenchi Muyou!

  10YEN-RANMA:  That means Girl-Tenchi, for those of you who don't
      know Japanese.  It shouldn't come as a surprise to those of
      you who read Dave's stuff.  He's fixated on girls...

  RANMA-SAMA:  And what's wrong with being fixated on girls?

  10YEN-RANMA:  Geez, you know what I mean.  [eyes lookalike warily]
      Say, which part of Accidental Goddess are you from?

  RANMA-SAMA:  Part four.  And what's that supposed to mean?

  10YEN-RANMA:  You sound like you're a little further along your
      journey of "self-exploration" as a woman.  [smirk]

  RANMA-SAMA:  Wh- What?!?  YOU'RE the one
      doing the "self-exploration", Miss Ten Yen!

  10YEN-RANMA:  HEY!  *I* wasn't the one doing the exploring!!!

ONNA-TENCHI:  Is that what I have to look forward to? Multiple instances of a
girl me in different states of self-exploration?

ONNA-FUTABA:  Hey, don't knock it till you try it. Right, Ranma-sama?

RANMA-SAMA:  [Twiddles thumbs] ... Yes! It's just my thumbs, SEE?!?!

FFML:  ...

  10YEN-RANMA:  "Almost-reference to a sexual act?"
      I'm getting a bad sense of deja-vu, here...  [twitch]

  RANMA-SAMA:   I think that's because this is a repost.

  10YEN-RANMA:  Uh, yeah, that's it!  [blush]

RYOUKO:  I thought it was because it was an imagination sequence...

ONNA-TENCHI:  Well, they have to kibitz about something... Um, Ryouko? What is
your hand doing there?"

RYOUKO:  Rehearsing an almost-sexual act.

ONNA-TENCHI:  Oh, well, that's all right, then... YOW!!!

  RANMA-SAMA:  This is C&C?

AEKA:  "Crude & Crass?" Yes, that works well, I believe.

RYOUKO:  Awww, princess. You're no fun at all.

AEKA:  I beg to differ!

ONN-TENCHI:  Uh, Aeka-san? What is your hand doing there? And you do realize
that's Ryouko and not me, right?

AEKA:  ...

RYOUKO:  AEKA-CHAN!!!

  10YEN-RANMA:  Does Washuu ever use her last name--

  RANMA-SAMA:  [interrupts]  Family name.

  10YEN-RANMA:  Whatever.  [rolls eyes]  Use "Hakubi" in the OAVs?
      Whenever I see this name, I get a little confused.

  RANMA-SAMA:  [mutters]  Yeah, like THAT'S hard.  [smirk]

  10YEN-RANMA:  For some reason, I keep thinking Ranma crossover...

      [10YEN-RANMA's IMAGINATION, filled with bright
      colors but low definition.  Think crayon drawings.]

  WASHUU:  Hi, I'm Hibiki Washuu, and this is my daughter, Ryoko!

  RYOGA:  My name is RyoGA.  I'm your SON!

  WASHUU:  Whoops.  Easily fixed.  [makes scissor motions with fingers]

  RYOGA:  "Fixed?"  [squeaks in fear]

      [Fade to blackness, just after the mechanical
      arms seize Ryoga.  10YEN-RANMA has fallen asleep]

  RANMA-SAMA:  What I think he's trying to
      suggest is dropping the "Hakubi".

MISAKI:  That was certainly an exciting sketch, wasn't it, Oneesama?

FUNAHO:  Quite, quite. Dearest?

AZUSA:  [mumbles incoherently, the name "Tenchi" occasionally rising to
legibility (Hey, this *is* a written format!)]

FUNAHO:  By the way, Washuu-dono. Did you not introduced yourself to me with
your full name on the shrine stairway?

WASHUU:  Hmmm, now that I think of it, I did rather pointedly say "Hakubi
Washuu".

FUNAHO:  So what do you think the problem is?

WASHUU:  Probably watching those dubbed eps again...

COLLECTIVE CAST:  AIEEEEEE!!!!

  RANMA-SAMA:  [looking at 10YEN-RANMA]  What happened to you?

  10YEN-RANMA:  Ribbit

  10YEN-RANMA:  I guess you don't want to annoy OAV Washu, either...

WASHUU:  No, no. That's the other me. [Puts her fingers to her dimples] I'm
MUCH too cute to do something like THAAAAT!!!

  suggest:  one of an innumerable
  or:  one of her innumerable

I'll go with the second. ^_^

  suggest:  floated around desultorily
  maybe:  languidly
  (Did you mean to emphasize Washuu's random,
  jerky behavior, or her boredom?)

Well, desultorily is supposed to mirror Washuu's boredom, and I *think* the
meaning fits, but I'll check the definitions again and see what works.

  RANMA-SAMA:  I'd suggest a smaller word, actually...

  10YEN-RANMA:  Ribbit.

  RANMA-SAMA:  [thinks]  No, that doesn't work, either.

      Is a group of dolphins called a herd?  Just checking.

I think so... I'll look into it. Is it a pod, like whales?

  RANMA-SAMA:  And now, thanks to the Advent of the Goddess--

  10YEN-RANMA:  [blinks in confusion]

  RANMA-SAMA:  Me, stupid.  You can now see a scene
      originally cut from this story!  [evil grin]

  WASHUU:  Tenchi?

  TENCHI:  Yes, Lil' Wahhhh.  [mouth hangs open]

  WASHUU:  [*not* little]  Oh, you can just can me Washuu.

  TENCHI:  [gulps and nods]

  WASHUU:  I'm wondering if you can... [presses against TENCHI]
      Help me with something.  [traces circles on his chest.]

  TENCHI:  O- Okay.... [sweating]

  WASHUU:  I've lost my spare change, and I'm hoping that you--

      [10YEN-RANMA rips scene appart]

  10YEN-RANMA:  Right!  No more of that!!!

WASHUU:  [turns to Onna-Tenchi]  Would I do something like that to you?

ONNA-TENCHI:  ... No... of course not, Washuu-chan. Say, Ryouko, can you,
like, get me outta here really fast?

RYOUKO:  [ogling onna-Tenchi]  'Out' or 'off' really fast?

ONNA-TENCHI:  Errr, either, as long as 'out' is included.

WASHUU:  ...  Nobody loves me anymore...

      like she's not nice anymore...

  MISAO:  [happy]  You did it, Sasami!

  Suggest putting this into a separate paragraph with an example.
  "Nice, sweet and generous as she may have been, this was the
  same girl who...   She had an opportunistic..."

Hmmm, okay... I think. I'll need to go over it to see exactly what you mean,

  RANMA-SAMA:  Would Ayeka really think of the money?  I'm
      sure it's never been a problem for her in the past.

AEKA:  Usually, no, I would not, but I have a hard time converting 235
quadrillion Jurai notes into ready cash here. I am forced to pawn a precious
bauble or two. *SIGH* Most of my baubles are at the bottom of the lake.

MIHOSHI:  ...ow...

  pl:  soda
  (Would you say "lots of waters"?)

*I* wouldn't... well, actually I do, on occasion, and I hear lots of kids say
it two. Isn't Sasami a kid?

  AYEKA:  That's a lie!  I don't dispute
      things just for the sake of dispute!

{RYOUKO in theatrical aside:  So you'll appreciate women more!}

{AEKA, also in theatrical aside, nods. :P}

  TENCHI:  I mean, why would I read it?  A guy plagued with
      multiple female admirers?  Powerful fighting techniques
      and enemies?  Heck, I got all that!

{AEKA:  Experience!}
{RYOUKO: [looks at Aeka]  Is experience that important to you?}
{AEKA:  Of course!}
{RYOUKO:  [thinking]  Hmmm...}

  10YEN-RANMA:  [thinking]  Ah yes, but soon you too will
      know the horror of MALE admirers.

  TENCHI:  I guess I'd find it funny if Ranma had it worse than
      me, but he doesn't!  Female admirers?  Take your pick!
      Villains?  I've got Kagato.  Fighting techniques?  I've
      got kendo and the Light Hawk Wings.

  10YEN-RANMA:  Kendo?  Is that a joke?  That's not a real
      martial art!

I'm not entirely sure I see what you're getting at. Could you explain further
or give your entire suggested revision?

  Is there any furniture to negotiate between the front door and

  Maybe she could trip over that step?

Laser fire erupts all over the household as Imperial Stormtroopers rush
through, chasing a fleeing Han Solo. After a moment, the troopers run back,
chased by a wildman, firing relentlessly. Solo stops and lazily salutes the
gathered women.

"Pardon the interruption, ladies, but I've got some evil butt ta kick!" He
pauses, and then grabs Aeka and pulls her into a heady, open-mouthed kiss. The
princess sags bonelessly. Solo breaks the lock and grins crookedly.

"I can never resist a princess." He dashes off to save the day.

Aeka falls to her knees, panting. "What... a maaan!"

Ryouko, envious, agrees, "You said it, sister."

"Hmph! I don't see what's so great about him." Tenchi crosses his arms, and
then looks over at the girls. "He's a stereotype!"

I've still refrained from using feminine pronouns, so the distancing may be

  Hmm.  This part is kinda weak.  There was no mention of the

  10YEN-RANMA:  Your MOUTH isn't what you need to cover...

RANMA-SAMA:  Give her a second...



  > Her father's jaw was now down to

  NOBUYUKI:  Actually, I wouldn't mind mentioning-- Urk!

Hehehehe


  > "Grrr." Tenchi slammed her knees together in a sudden attack of
  > feminine modesty and scooped up a pail of warm water from the furo,
  > dumping it over her head. Nobuyuki promptly fainted, a circle of
  > skipping redheads over him.

  NOBUYUKI:  My son's a babe!  Oh, how I've waited for this day.

  TENCHI:  Eh?!

  NOBUYUKI:  Now that you are mature, I can tell you the whole truth.
      Whenever the members in our family get excited, they change sex.

  TENCHI:  EH!?

  NOBUYUKI:  The truth is... *I* am your mother!

  WASHU:  [walks in]  It's the strangest thing.  There's no way
      Mihoshi's cap was heavy enough to push the button...  I
      don't know why you turned into a girl.

  TENCHI:  [passes out]

:j  I really haven't seen Futaba, so I'll just laugh and move on. :P



  [...]

  > After several minutes, Nobuyuki came to and shifted into a sitting

  > very healthy, redheaded girl just a little bit ago?"

  NOBUYUKI:  And I mean *natural* redhead!  [waggle eyebrows]

*CLANG!!*  [wash bucket bounces off Nobuyuki's head, sending that worthy to
dreamland]

TENCHI:  [puts hand to cheek and looks preciously distraught]  Oh, my. Did *I*
do that?



  [...]

  > "Hentai. Your own son," Tenchi muttered.

  NOBUYUKI:  My son's a hentai?  Oh, how I've waited for this day!

  TENCHI:  Eh?!

  NOBUYUKI:  Now that you are mature, I can tell you the whole truth--

  TENCHI:  Shutupshutupshutup!!!

FUTABA: [switches back and forth, due to excitement at Tenchi's girl form and
disappointment at his boy form] Errr, Cousin!!

TENCHI:  ACK!!!

ATARU:  I'LL SAVE YOU, MY DEAR!!

TENCHI:  [looks back and forth]  Okay, lech. You're on.

ATARU:  WAI!!



  [...]

  > Breakfast was an odd affair. Tenchi, raggedly shorn of his excess
  > locks, was more silent than usual, and only replied in grunts when
  > spoken to.

  RANMA-SAMA:  Getting in touch with his masculinity, I see.

  10YEN-RANMA:  I wish I could do that.  [glares offscreen]
      Instead of OTHER people touching IN my femininity!

  NABIKI:  [pouting]  I didn't even get to keep the money.

AKANE:  It just doesn't go as far as it used to... [sees Ranma look hurt]  In
a monetary sense, you baka!

RANMA:  [beams]



  > Masaki Katsuhito, Tenchi's grandfather, appeared in the doorway,
  > wondering what all the commotion was about. Tenchi hung her head and
  > rose from the table, slowly backing up towards her grandfather.
  >
  > "I'm going back to bed," Tenchi said.

  TENCHI:  [glaring]  Alone.

  KATSUHIKO:  Aw...

...  I just can't do it. Katsuhito's gonna strike, if I do...



  [...]

  > "I just can't deal with school today." Tenchi turned around, and
  > Katsuhito enjoyed the rare sensation of two comfy breasts squishing
  > into his palms. He barely resisted the urge to squeeze.

  KATSUHIKO:  Ooh, C-cup!

WASHUU:  [pushes that button again]

*BOING!!*

KATSUHI*T*O:  WAIII!!!

TENCHI: ...



  [...]

  > Tenchi jumped back, crossing her arms over her chest. "JIICHAN!"

  TENCHI:  How did you know I like older men?  [coo]

/me slaps forehead. "Well, that *definitely* says all that needs to be said. "

:D



  [...]

  > Katsuhito raised both eyebrows for half a second, and then he
  > resumed his normally inscrutable demeanor. He nodded his head and
  > hummed, and he turned and walked out of the dining area.

  RANMA-SAMA:  Only centuries of inscruability
      training protected him from facefaulting.

  COLOGNE:  You should try in from on top of a staff.

RANMA-SAMA:  [eyes the circumference of the staff]  I *suppose* it's doable...

COLOGNE:  I am at your service.

AKANE: ...



  [...]

  > <I'll loan him a hair tie.>

  TENCHI:  Uh... this is a scrunchie.

  KATSUHIKO:  But it makes you look so cute!

TENCHI:  'Cute' is not the word!

CANON-RANMA:  HEY! That's my line! 'Click-whirrrr...'

  TENCHI:  [thinking]  If I turn my back, she'll splash me and try
      to crawl into my lap again.  Better keep an eye on her.

:j

  AYEKA:  B- But what about me?

  KATSUHIKO:  I'm sorry, Ayeka, but...

  AYEKA:  If he doesn't marry me, then you'll have to.

  KATSUHIKO:  ...

  AYEKA:  And you'll have to be prince, again.

  KATSUHIKO:  Now that I think of it, Tenchi's
      man enough for more than one wife...

Apply just the right kind of pressure, and... Voila!



  [...]

  > Tenchi was enjoying the relative quiet engendered by his, er, state
  > and was enjoying being able to watch television in peace.

  TV:  Yappa pa Yappa pa

  TENCHI:  Damn you!  Damn you, Ranma!

RYOUGA:  He FINALLY gets it!

RYOUKO:  TENCHIIII!!! Did you give it to HIM?!

TENCHI:  [looks at Ryouga appraisingly]  He's very biiig.

RYOUKO:  Really? Hmmm...

RYOUGA:  [bigsweats]

AEKA:  [walks in from the kitchen]  Did someone say 'big'?

RYOUGA:  AAAAAHHH!!!  [smashes through the wall]



  [...]

  > "Errr... Tenchi-sama?" Aeka looked a little worried.
  >
  > "Yeah?"
  >
  > "Are you not going to change back?"

  TENCHI:  [gets up and gets hot water]

  SASAMI:  [grabs Tenchi's seat]  Yes!

  TENCHI:  [walking back]  Hey!  My seat!

  RYOKO:  Yes, it's very nice.  Now sit down
      so we can watch the show.

  suggest:  Aren't you

No, I want to point out a difference in Aeka's speech. As a royal, (if she
knew English, that is) she would probably eschew contractions.



  [...]

  > Mihoshi had initially divided her attention between Tenchi and the

  RANMA-SAMA:  It's uncanny how they time it so no more than
      one of them is staring at Tenchi at a time...

ONNA-TENCHI:  ACK! Like I could STAND any more?!?!

RANMA-SAMA:  Practice makes perfect, you know.

ONNA-TENCHI:  Oh, ack, gag...



  > If Tenchi had been uncomfortable before, she was now mentally

  > little finger bent and being chewed on.

  RYOKO:  Stop that, Ryo-Ohki!

  RYO-OHKI:  [gnawing]  Miya?

...

  GIRL:  Mmm, Willow.  [moan writhe]  Redheads are the best.

  TENCHI:  [thinks]  Don't look at anyone.
      Just look straight ahead...

:D

  10YEN-RANMA:  Uh, that probably should have been put sooner.

  RYOKO:  I don't have a problem with it where it is!

I struggled with a paragraph break there, and I will probably do that.



  [...]

  > "AAAAAHHH!!!" Tenchi leapt to her feet, panting and staring at a

  > *HORNY*-- MMMRRFFF!!"

  10YEN-RANMA:  Is this the point when Washu gets her hand on a
      copy of Urusei Yatsura and turns girl-type Tenchi into
      an oni girl?

  AYEKA:  [frowning]  Great, then we'd have a matched pair...

  RYOKO:  Here you go Mom.  You know what to do!
      [winks, slips a UY comic to Washu]

ATARU:  Now I can have TWO oni-girls to fry me! Hey! WHAT am I SAYING?!?!

REDET LUM:  T'cha! That's the spirit, Darling!! Besides, with Ryouko-chan,
that makes three.

ATARU:  [faints]

RYOUKO:  Pansy.

  RYOKO:  [munching]  That damn mouse won't keep me up anymore!

...!

  10YEN-RANMA:  Well, this fic is largely arbitrary.

  RANMA-SAMA:  Not that that's a bad thing...  ^_^

  10YEN-RANMA:  True, although it seems like it's being used to
      setup Ryoko and Tenchi.  Ryoko's all hot and bothered
      by girl-type Tenchi, but for some reason, Ayeka has
      forgotten she loves him, and suddenly thinks of him as
      a sister.

  RANMA-SAMA:  Which is doubly odd, since she was prepared to
      marry her brother.  Wouldn't that make it a turn-on for
      Ayeka?

AEKA:  Erm... You know? This is all very confusing for me.



  10YEN-RANMA:  [blushing]  Ah, anyway, it makes the situation
      a little hard to swallow.

  RANMA-SAMA:  You always did have trouble swallowing...

  10YEN-RANMA:  [sweatdrop]  Uh, anyway, this seems much better
      suited to be a fun fic, rather than resolving anyone's
      relationships.  I mean, it's not like any of MY problems
      have even been solved.  Wouldn't making Tenchi more
      like me only escalate his problems?

TENCHI:  The implication in your dialogue seems to suggest that I can't
resolve my life and have fun, too.



  RANMA-SAMA:  Besides, Donny wants to see a nice big orgy
      between all the cast members, not just Ryoko.

  NOBUYUKI:  Woohoo!

  RANMA-SAMA:  Not you.

  NOBUYUKI:  [poutiung]  Aw...

  10YEN-RANMA:  Well, that's about it.  Looking forward to the
      next part!

  RANMA-SAMA:  Yeah, I want to change back into a guy so I stop
      feeling these (um) urges...

  10YEN-RANMA:  I was talking about Onna-Tenchi Muyo.

  RANMA-SAMA:  Hey, he writes me, too!  I can look forward to the
      next part of Accidental Goddess.  The longer it takes,
      the longer I'm stuck as a girl!

  10YEN-RANMA:  You almost sound like your old self.

  RANMA-SAMA:  You know how it is.  The horomones wax and wane.

  10YEN-RANMA:  Wax and wane?  [scratches head]  You mean come and go?

  RANMA-SAMA:  Emphasis on "come," I'm afraid.

  10YEN-RANMA:  [littlesweat]  Thank God mine was just a oneshot.

  US MINT:  Anyone want to help us with our new gold one dollar
      coin advertising campagn?  Mr. Roeder?

  10YEN-RANMA:  ...

DF ROEDER: ...

*************************

Jeez, this took me all evening to respond to! I finally know that you do not
have a life. :)  But then, neither do I, really, so I guess I'm in good
company.

As always, Doug, a treat to the eyes and brain.

/me bows low.

I hope I entertained you at least partially in return.

Ja!
