A very Urusei Yatsura week, it seems!
Regarding RA: Drake had a great suggestion for that, actually. If he doesn't mind I might make use of it here. The idea is that Mendo finds out about the double date, and his swollen ego leads him to show up at the restaurant with many, many girls from class to deliberately show Ataru up. I think that could be a lot of fun. Drake, would you mind if I wrote that instead and you did the followup?
Dream Jumper: I think this could create an interesting juxtaposition, actually. Ataru takes command of the dream to belittle Mendo before making his own moves on Shinobu. How does that sound?
As always, I'm eager to hear suggestions for these.
RA: Ah no problem, every time I post an idea anywhere I'm hoping that someone might see it as a point of inspiration. The main other idea i had for the date is the possibility that one bit of genuine connection for Ryu and Ran might kick off with Ryu talking about how she wants to get back at dad for pretty much everything (Possibly kicked off if Ryu sees a listing for a dish with Maitake mushrooms on the menu - Ryu's father used to claim they were deadly as an excuse to knock her out while he ate them all himself)
ReplyDeleteAs for Dream Jumper, My personal thought was that while the dream would respond to Ataru being commanding, it would only do so when Shinobu wasn't looking, or when she was in a frame of refference that made his controlling what she saw made sense. . . Maybe using a magicians hat. . .
Well that's just my thoughts off the top of my head.
