One of my projects (stalled due to my computer dying) is a series of Ranma 1/2 oneshots. However, there are a few "niggles" about various ones, so I thought I'd post them here to see if anyone can give me a hand with them.
One oneshot has Shampoo failing to kiss Ranma during the "Cursed Kiss" storyline, and thus being trapped as a cat. Cologne is reluctantly forced to call on a black magic-using relative (of hers or Shampoo's, not sure which) to perform a ritual that will "borrow" (or, to be more accurate, take) the Nyanniichuan curse from Ranma and 'graft' it onto Shampoo in order to restore her to her previous state. Can anyone suggest the "trappings" for the ritual? Materials that might be consumed, focus items for "flash" (skulls, warding circles, etc), things like that?
The second oneshot is based around Ranma losing the fight on Snow Mountain. An important scene is Ranma coming too after the fight is over, male and being tended by Shampoo while Cologne sits at the foot of the bed looking at him (insert obvious joke here...) Anyway, the important part here was Cologne suddenly rounding on Shampoo, berating her for her 'treachery' and reminding her (as well as making Ranma aware) of the potential punishments for her actions. The small list of punishments I managed to come up with are:
-Execution
-Exile
-Erasure from the clan registry (which means she not only ceases to exist, but ceases to have *ever* existed; as far as her family are concerned, she is and will always be a stranger)
-Subjection to a special technique that basically mixes Xi Fa Xiang Gao with Ultimate Weakness Moxibustion: it not only erases all of their martial arts abilities & techniques, but creates a mental block so that they will *never* be able to learn martial arts again.
Do you think these punishments sound suitable? If not, why? Too extreme? Not extreme enough (remember, these are the people with the Kiss of Death law)
Could you suggest a name (translation will do, but 'original' -aka Bakusai Tenketsu, Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken, etc- would be greatly appreciated) for the aforementioned "special technique"?
Finally, a third oneshot has Mousse managing to win his first formal duel with Ranma, which (coupled with Akane barging in like a bull in a china shop) means the Amazon boy is now officially engaged to Akane. At one point in the story, Mousse figures out that there's something suspicious about P-chan, which eventually results in him transforming back into Ryoga right in front of Akane. Can anyone suggest what Akane's reaction would be to this turn of events, and how it'd change her attitude towards Mousse, Ryoga and (if/when it comes out Ranma knew all along) Ranma?
Thanks in advance for any help.
