You saw that right folks. For those of you that are new, I tend to do a double update around Christmas and New Year. That means next week also get the double whammy, since I'll be off most of the week.
"But aren't you pretty far behind?" Well, less than you think. I actually have written up to date, but have been waiting for my editor to get back to me on them. Trouble is he's been a little sick of late. To keep you guys happy I'll post everything tomorrow (or Tuesday at the latest) and let him come back to me with proper edits whenever he can.
However, I need to stress this point, that is not the only reason I've fallen behind a little lately. Stuff keeps happening that draws my attention, but now that Christmas is pretty much done I should be pretty clear to spend time writing up all four threads this week. One a day ought to cover it nicely, and maybe I'll get some bonus threads done as well. Time permitting.
Meantime: Let's talk over this week's winners.
Ryunosuke Alone:
As if the universe would be kind enough to just hand a no consequences harem to Ataru Moroboshi on a silver platter. Guys, we need to blue ball him stat. Since her name's in the title I'm thinking Ryunosuke is the only one getting any action tonight, I just need a reason for that.
UY Dream Jumper:
I think the thread needs a little more focus and clarification to help make things more explicit. For example, maybe it's about time to move on to the next day so we can properly look at how Ataru's meddling has influenced the girls so far?
Love Hina WP
You know, I don't want Kanako to lose here. I want her to escape dramatically and cleverly at the last possible moment, but then get caught out by someone else before she can use the WP to do anything else. Probably by Motoko.
HCI: Ah, for this one refer back to the post on the blog as I've not put it on the addventure yet. Really need to break that habit of letting threads sit for ages before posting them.
Anyway, who do you want the girl Ranma saw to be? The more interesting the idea the likelier it is I'll make it happen.
Ryunosuke Alone: The big cockblock option would be to just have something set off the fire suppressions system in Lum's flying saucer, flooding it with cold water. The more precise option would probably be for Lum or more likely Ran to activate an "Ejection function" that ejects Ataru from the Saucer. For maximum "That's Ataru's usual Luck", the scenario could start out looking like Ataru's rolling all aces, getting all three girls fired up, moving things along, then while he's talked Lum into making out with Ryu to help her (and justify him making out with the other girls too), Ran activates the passenger ejection function throwing him into a lake, and of course Lum's too distracted to fly after him or notice he's gone for a while.
ReplyDeleteDream Jumper: Yes, one problem with Dream stories is how unfocused they can get. As far as how the Girls react the next day, one thing that ought to loom large in Ran's mind is the fact that she deciphered the programing of the Dream Berries, and thus knows that the programmed dream for the third night was all about a wedding.
HCI: Interesting options listed in the episode, though my reservation with it being Index is that she's close friends with someone who can end everything with one touch of his right hand. Considering the other possibilities, the future options from Lum's entry revolve around the idea that Sakura or Cherry might deduce that Happosei's influence could be countered with "A greater perversion," or something like that which leads to some sort of "Perversion duel" between Ataru and Happosei. Sailor Moon's possibilities mainly feel like it could be something like the fight ending with Happosei's spell either getting absorbed by a SM big bad turning them Hentai, or somehow gaining independent existence and becoming a new big bad.
As far as other possible girls, Well one of the Ladies from Food Wars could offer the joke that "Everything I cook tastes like Porn now", but I'm not sure of long term contribution other than justifying a few Foodgasm moments in the thread. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
About Kamijou Touma removing the effect of Happosai's Corruption. Remember that his hand is sort of like a "Get back to Base" mechanic. In game terms, it removes any hacks, cheats etc... which are used to manipulate the system. But from what I remember, Happosai's friend is changing the very rules on which reality works, so his hand would do zero. (Actually, it would neutralize any supernatural thing trying to remove/change the corruption effect.)
DeleteThat is, assuming that I am remembering right and Happosai did really find something that can change the base laws on which reality works.
Another amusing possibility would be Cthugha from Haiyore Nyarko-san. If you have not seen that anime, I suggest looking at it sometime soon. It is exactly the sort of weirdness that you would expect in Ranma 1/2.... okay maybe it is even weirder than Ranma 1/2, maybe even closer to the memetic version.
A double update?! I did not expect this and/or forgot about it.
ReplyDeleteLove Hina WP: That was basically my original plan. Kanako dramatically wins the competition, possibly even pulling a reversal with the World Processor and declaring Witchbot to be her understudy. But then Motoko arrives and throws Kanako out without noticing anything amiss, and whimsically adds some sort of command to make it unnecessarily difficult (but not impossible!) for Kanako to use the World Processor again. Like: "Kanako will respect the private rooms and property of everyone at this Dormitory."
Although in any case, you may want to sink this one to the end of your To-Do List. BioYuGi mentioned something about tying you down so he could sneak in an episode if the storyline won.
