Comedic uses for Mousse; any suggestions?

Postby SpaceKnight of Chaos » Wed Aug 27, 2008 9:51 pm

I was just wondering if people could give me any advice, suggestions or similar information on how to use Mousse for comedy in one of my fanfics. I know that Mousse is a legitimate threat, and he will be treated as such, but in the canons (I'm working from the anime canon) he's also often a comedic character (as is just everyone).

These are just some points I felt I should point out, as my fanfic is very much an AU, diverging at the point where Shampoo first came into Nerima:
*Ranma/Akane is not the destined pair- Ranma/Shampoo is.
*This means that Mousse is not a resident of the Nekohanten and is, in fact, staying at Ukyo's restaurant.
*Mousse & Ukyo are also "partners" in much the way Ukyo & Ryoga are in canon; they're not interested in each other (at least, not yet- I've been contemplating pairing the two, but that's a different topic), but they are the only ones with a valid reason to work together (she wants Ranma, he wants Shampoo).
*Mousse doesn't have his traditional duck cursed form- in this fanfic, he went to Jusenkyo deliberately trying to curse himself, aiming to mix together "Drowned Man" and "Drowned Cat" water to create a form that he believed would render him unbeatable by Ranma.
*Of course, he screwed things up and now turns into a kitsunemimi (fox kemonomimi).
*In cursed form, his sense of smell & hearing heighten enough they can actually compensate, to some degree, for his poor eyesight.
*However, he can't stand intense smells or high-pitched noises- a dog whistle instinctively makes him tense in pain.
*His cursed form is shorter than his real form, and the change is quite markable (his cursed form is shorter than Ranma's girl-form to the same degree Mousse's normal form is taller than Ranma's real form). This makes him look a lot more immature and lowers his strength, though he gains no physical bonuses.
*Azusa believes Mousse to be a kitsune because of this form and is fascinated with him- he ended up being carted to her home at the end of his reintroductory chapter and since then has been hiding from her, while she desperately wants "Jean-Paul" to come home. (This is not such an exaggeration of Azusa's character; remember, she decided that Kuno was a Tanuki in her second appearance.)
Water, water, everywhere, and all was cursed and black!
Drowned ones cast bad spell and out come pig, girl, duck, panda!
Swirl, swirl, slithery pond, and join with magic spring!
Swirl, swirl, dirty pond, and rid the cursed sting!
Here my prayer, I beg you please!
Now turn these curses BACK!
