Hrm. This could be a tricky one! As has been the case recently, there are plenty of different directions this could go in, and I'm dithering on which would be the best.
Edit: A link to the episode might be useful. So here it is.
Let's go through this option by option.
1: Cologne spots (roughly) what's wrong with Ranma, and sets about trying to undo it. When she realises that Ranma may have done similar kinds of things to other people, she leaves Mousse behind to guard him. At which point, Ranma wakes up and offers Mousse the chance to lay claim to Shampoo in exchange for a favour.
2: Akane and Nabiki struggle for self control, but are beginning to notice something strange is happening to their bodies. This "something" is accelerated by perverted behaviour, and they're both concerned about losing control to it.
3: Several people have noticed Ranma's odd behaviour, and decide to collaborate to help him feel better. They assume he's ill or something.
4: Ranma slips away to investigate, and finds a clue of some sort. After all, if he can't somehow figure out something is wrong then there's really not much else the story can do but have him succumb completely to the constant barrage of sex.
So, what do you think?
You might want to include a link, sir.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think all four options would be appropriate. Maybe use a few or even all of them? Would four scenes be too long? Well, options two and three could be just a couple of paragraphs each, with the majority of the episode focused on options one and four (since those two seem to be the ones more focused on plot).
So basically, I think whichever ones appeal to you would work.
Regarding the first option, I was thinking Shampoo asking/arguing with Cologne regarding why she think's Ranma's behavior is odd. The ill fitting clothes, the fact he seemed to know how to give a pleasuring massage, that he's supposed to be headed for a pool party (Shampoo wasn't coming due to lack of preventive measures against her curse triggering). Maybe she stumbles upon the altered bikini and wander why Ranma has it, since even he wouldn't wear something that small on purpose.
ReplyDeleteOption two: Perhaps do it in the viewpoint of Kasumi. The girls were supposed to be headed for the pool party as well.
Option four: His impetus to leave is actually spotting Pervert!Ranko coming to the party, followed by a younger, sexier Pervert!Nodoka. He quickly screws Pervert!Akane by using the Chestnut Fist with his manhood, and leave's Pervert!Akane when she's out cold with her friends. Ranma sneaks out, then discovers more things that hint that what ever happened to him couldn't be just Happosai transforming people, due to things like... I dunno,.. the Showa emperor still being alive (and somewhat youthful looking) instead of dying back in early 1989.
Another option would be to work with the "people" who switched the Ranma's in the first place. One of them hinted he wanted more Tatewaki Kuno involvement, and probably might do something stupid like personally meet with Kuno while in disguise to give Kuno a leg up. And then accidentally leave something like some sort of achieve of assorted sex scenes involving Ranma characters for someone to discover, or cause more parallel universe mayhem.
