   Tee hee...(A bit OOC, though; Ukyo comes off, from what I've seen of 
her in the comic and elsewhere, as being incredibly innocent. That may have 
been the point--she might not be, really--but it's still a bit shocking. 
I really can't see her playing strip poker outside a lemon fanfic.)

Nope, that's totally IC... just read the manga episode with the Gambling
King 'King' in it... Ukyou, Akane and Ranma play cards all night, and Ranma
ends up losing everything but his boxers... and in his hand is the losing
card...

I'd say that it's perfectly IC!

Kun-chan...

   Trust the Mistress of Lemons to pick that out...:)
   But still, there's a bit of a difference. That time by your own 
admission Akane is present (so there is her implicit permission-- 
translation: Ukyo wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation even 
if she wanted to); and besides there's a purpose to it (beating the Gambler 
King). Ukyo and Ranma playing strip poker alone, purely for fun (for UKyo 
especially!) is a rather different situation, _ne_? (There's an excuse the 
first time. Ukyo has none the second time.)
   Of course all this might mean is that Akane has a sick mind too...H_H

Ukyo still strikes me as the more innocent of the two, though...
