-------------- Enclosure number 1 ----------------
I've bounced this idea around for a while and I can't make it work so I
thought I'd put some of the snippets on the FFML and hopefully the idea
and snippets will inspire someone to start a fanfic using the idea.
I seen lots of stories where jusenkyo curses are made worse or had a
stronger effect on their victim,but I've never seen one where the jusenkyo
curse also changed more than the victim, what if the curse changed the
worlds memory to match the jusenkyo victim's current form.
My take on the idea above is that every time the victim changes form the
world changes to match that form and only the cursed person remembers the
other form, to make matters worse the victim is never informed of what
changes have been made to bring the world into alignment with the current
form..
Here are some snippets that I hope will give someone an idea I don't have
the skill to write such a complex story idea.
WHATS MISSING EXPLANATION
============================
To even write these snippets I had to simplify the basic ranma half
story considerable, in my take on the above idea genma doesn't have a
curse but every time ranma changes into a girl genma has a debilitating
injury and he remembers and believes that his last sale of his daughter in
china resulted in her rape and his shattered leg.
The world changes to match ranma's curse and only ranma is aware his other
form exist, unfortunately he isn't informed of how the world changes.
NEARLY THERE
===========================
Genma poked the topmost of the two huge backpacks his daughter was
carrying and watched warily as she staggered slightly and said"Will you
quit harping on that non existent curse, we can't go back to china, we are
going to stay with the Tendo's and that is FINAL!"
Ranma rolled her eyes and grumbled as she trudged along ahead of her
father, she hated this curse, there was no way she was going to live with
it the rest of her life. Glancing over her shoulder Ranma frowned at the
sight of genma walking warily several steps behind her out of easy reach
with a pronounced limp and his bo staff at the ready.
Ranma turned back and allowed her shoulders to slump in some ways the
curse's effect on her father was the worst part of it.
Genma was worried, he had thought his daughter blocking out the
memories of the..... incident had been good, best not to remember
things like that, but now ever since hitting her head in that pool at
jusenkyo she was getting worse trying to block out her whole life now she
was even denying her gender insisting she was a boy, with a curse.
Genma froze as the full implications of his daughters mental problems
hit him the promise it was bad enough he was 3 years late on the promise
to allow Nodoka to start Ranko's womanly training at 13, but if her
daughter wasn't a woman among women then he would die!
Genma shivered and decided to quickly find a match for his daughter if
their were grand children when Nodoka discovered them then he would live,
poking the backpacks again he said"Hurry girl turn right at the next
street."
Ranma frowned at her father and wished for hot water so she could
change back and her father wouldn't limp, she just wished he would lose
that staff he had started fighting him with it in both forms.
CHALLENGE
===============================
Akane whirled at the light touch on the back of her head and her
eyes crossed as she stared at the finger that was now between her eyes she
had challenged this over developed red head, when she had learned that her
father had given away half the school before she was born and... and now
she had lost the senior position.
Akane stared at the finger in shock how? when? she listened as her
father congratulated the over developed freaks father on such good
training, she was already near a master level.
Akanes body slumped and her arms dropped out of a ready stance as she
heard her father and that hussy's father planning for Ranko's master ship
position in the family art.
Nibiki smirked as she watched her sister body tremble as she stared at
the red heads finger, at last her sister had been put into her place it
was bad enough all the boys were chasing her, but the way she had been
going on about being the best had started to grate, this was perfect," the
best martial artist in nerima had just met her better".
BATHTIME
================================
Ranma sighed as the hot water in the furo touched her body and the
change washed over it. Leaning back in the tub he wondered if the curse
would effect the Tendo's like it seemed to effect his father and other
people around him.
A short time later Ranma groaned and started to climb out, hard
experience with his dad had shown that when he changed his dad's
memories changed in ways that were hard to predict.
Ranma stood up and reached for a towel just as the door opened and a
girl stepped in ranma stared frozen in surprise at the naked girl.
Somehow ranma noted akane's eyes traveling up and down his body
then frowning and turning to leave he halfway listened as she growled
something about a dojo and now her home.
Ranma tried to analyse the girls words and actions as he put his
cloths back on, shaking his head and for the 10,000th time since
jusenkyo he wished he had started to develop his new martial arts of "Body
Talk and Words" before jusenkyo had made it a necessity. He needed to get
better at reading other peoples bodywords. Going over the battle of the
bathroom encounter ranma decided that the curse did effect the Tendo's the
girls face had shown surprise and recognition, her eyes seemed to show
anger and her words? He should have listened closer he didn' t need to let
distraction make him miss things.
Ranma slowly slipped his shoes on thinking about the encounter with
the Tendo girl her words weren't clear but he was fairly certain what he
remembered meant he had fought her for mastership of the dojo and won so
they now remembered the fight as if he was male, the curse usually
followed a logical pattern when his form changed, but what else had
changed when he become a boy?
Ranma paused with his hand on the door, he could hear voices just
outside the door, after a moments indecision he placed an ear next to the
door listening as two of the Tendo sisters talked loudly outside the
bathroom door.
Ranma pressed his head against the door, trying to clear up the
words and made a mental note to try and develop a martial arts for hear
through doors and walls.
Nibiki glared at her sister not allowing her to pass and continue to
the bathroom she ignored the baseball bat akane was waving in one hand as
her younger sister ranted about perverted boys. Nibiki gritted her teeth,
her sister had some nerve first she gets every boy in school to fight over
her and now she was stripping to try and steal her own sister's fiance
last night she hadn't wanted him and now she was parading around in a
towel trying to get another boy to chase her.
SHUT UP! nibiki yelled placing a hand over her sisters mouth and
continuing in a lower voice she said"Its bad enough you have all the boys
at school fighting over you, but now your parading around naked trying to
get my fiance too, he's mine,you had your chance last night and turned him
down.
LADLE LADY
=====================================
Ranma plucked at her wet skirt and blouse in confusion and said"what am I
doing in this?" Nibiki laughed and poked her in the ribs saying just
imagine what you would have looked like if you had been wearing one of
your thin chinese outfits like you had wanted instead of kasumi's old
school uniform.
"Come on" Nibiki said grabbing Ranko's arm and pulling her toward the
school "I've got to get there well before akane and since she's still mad
about losing the challenge I'm the only one to show you the way."
Ranma grumble under her breath as she tried to ignore the novel
sensation of a skirt, she felt like an idiot she should have realized that
if her underwear and outfits changed to fit her female form then more
radical changes were possible.
Nibiki dragged Ranko through the school gates and as her assistants run
up, she told the first one to arrive to take Ranko to the nurses office
and get dried off explaining ranko's wet state by saying"The Addle Ladle
Lady has struck again."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================================
Hopefully you get the idea I've got a few more snippets, but I could never
connect them together into a workable story especially since it is at
least two stories in one.
One for ranma's male form and another for ranma's female form.
As I said at the start I've tried several times to make this idea work and
I've given up on it, so its available to anyone that wants to try it with
or without my sample snippets.
