Er... Ryoga? I don't really want to be here for long, but one of my .sig
characters wanted to talk to you.... He can be quite persuasive at times
(he had me trapped in my own .sig file for about a week, and was
answering my mail), so I decided I'd better let him have his way... Oh,
yes... I believe you already know him...
Ummm. . .okay, I'll talk to him. . .whoever he is. . .
Ratiko: [Waving to Ryoga] Hiya, great-gramps! Welcome to the fanfic ML!
(The echoing sound of a jaw hitting the floor)
Kim: Er... Rat? He's listening. You've got his attention. Go on.
Ratiko: That's all I wanted to say.
Kim: You put Chris through all that misery just for THAT?
Ratiko: [shrugs] It's his own darn fault for giving me this personality...
Why am I surprised by this? I've already met one of my
ancestors, and also a clone. This shouldn't surprise me.
PW: <I'm surprised.>
N: Me, too. Who's your mom, Ratiko?
[In another corner of the .sig file]
Lepi Kodachi Demie: OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!
[Childra Jansen pauses from sharpening her machete to look at the head of the
Church of Kodachi, then gets back to work.]
Cytherea: [To Childra] Why are you sharpening your machete?
Childra: [Starts to sweat, and hides the weapon.] Machete? What Machete?
LKD: [Singing from 'Les Mis'...] One more day 'til revolution...
Oh, no. Not another one, please. We just got one of them
fixed. And I'm about to go and fight another one in private email.
NATHAN!! Why do you have to be so. . .INVOLVED???
N: Sorry. I just don't want to get caught by a bunch of
revolting characters.
PW: <If you hadn't gotten lost, you would have tried to fight me
earlier. And then I would have devoured your heart and torn open your mind.>
N: That's why I stayed away and let Ryoga take the beating.
RH: Jerk!
N: You won, didn't you?
Ranma-spirit: Chris? I think we're in trouble...
PW: <I'm not worried. If someone starts another revolution, I
might just join them.>
N: I think your reputation as a lieutenant is a bit. . .
tarnished, considering what you did the LAST time you were relegated to a
second-in-command position. The Band still hasn't forgiven you.
PW: <It's mutual. Trust me.>
Ryoga Hibiki
Wielder of the Bladed Belt, Friend of P-Chan
RH: This isn't my fault. Really.
