the characters back in the series start reacting to
this. If
they have some awareness of their script, then
Shampoo isn't
available for her scenes, they try to muddle on but
it isn't
quite the same.
:::The Tendos, the Saotomes, and Ryoga sit in the
Tendo's living room, when suddenly....:::
Ranma: ... Uhh..
::: A stagehand makes a quick phonecall while everyone
is waiting, and Lum arrives:::
BZZAP!
:::The wall bursts inward, and as the dust settles, we
hear the fluttering of papers:::
Lum [in the dust]: Uhh.. Ranma! I kill!
Everyone: [sweatdrops]
If not, the characters have just
noted that
Shampoo opened a hole in midair and climbed out?!
:::Mousse is chasing after Shampoo, and makes a flying
leap to hug her, and hits the lamp-post that was in
front of her:::
or a secondary char who is somewhat sympathetic
(Makoto Kino
or Minako Aino from SM, Kiyone from
TM, any number of marionettes from SMJ, (or even a
primary
character like Akane) who suddenly declares their
dissatisfaction and pops out of the series.
:::EVA unit 00 holds up a sign reading 'I quit!' and
hops out of someone's portable television, much to
their surprise:::
The
effect of
the character vanishing on the series they just left
(the
Tendo household without Kasumi, the Masaki household
without
Sasami, Evangelion where Rei or Misato decides they
ain't
gonna ride this train to Hell) as things quietly go
nuts
behind them.
:::The angel that EVA unit 00 was fighting gets
confused, then scared, then runs away:::
EVA unit 01: [sweatdrop]
For the Senshi, this could be bitter -
with
them realizing that they had an important role even
if they
would be continually stuck with heartbreak and a
second-string role).
:::Sailor Pluto takes a break from her post, and is
not present when the time comes to open the Gates of
Time for the Inner Senshi:::
Usagi: [Walks into the gate] OW!
Chibiusa: Puu?
:::A note that says 'Gone to Miami' is stuck to
Usagi's forehead:::
:::Later, we see the Senshi sitting in front of the
Gates playing pick-up sticks with their henshin
rods:::
:::Now they are playing Hide-and-Seek:::
:::They find a Scrabble board and play:::
:::Now they -you get the idea:::
Or... Rei or Misato come through, then want you to
show them
how their series ended. On a SAFE non-magical VCR...
:::Misato goes berserk and goes off to kill the
writers of NGE:::
if you knew the VCR was acting like that, what would
you
play on it? Dirty Pair?
:::Scene outside of a house. Nice, peaceful, and then
it blows up:::
Only, WHO is going to do it? You? Certainly not
me, as I don't like writing self-insertion fics.
:::Scene of many Fanfiction writers, all in SD mode,
running away from EVA units, martial artists, Sailor
Senshi, elves, monsters, mechs, and CFTs (CFT = Cute
Fuzzy Thing)
Another possibility is where the disaffected
character goes
next. What if Nabiki decided to pop that tape out
and put
another one in, then go into THAT tape. Nabs decides
to be
heroic, so she goes off into Evangelion to head off
the
Third Impact.
:::Scene of Nabiki defeating many Angels by showing
them the damage bills:::
Kasumi wants some peace and quiet, so
she
finds your Deep Space Nine tape (pre-Dominion) and
hits the
promenade. etc.
:::Scene of Kasumi in Quark's:::
Kasumi: Oh, my, did I win again?
Quark: AARGH!
They could *all* make a jailbreak. Kuno decides he
wants
respect and goes to Ruroni Kenshin, possibly running
afoul
of the Disarmament.
:::Scene of the author of this e-mail ordering RK
videos so she can actually write a scene about that:::
Ranma heads off to Oh My Goddess to see if they can
help
with his curse, or maybe just see if he can finagle
a wish
to end his fiancee mess.
:::Scene of Ranma seeing Skuld and her mallet and
changing his mind about this whole escape idea, while
Skuld tries to squash the bugs all over him:::
Akane chooses a tape at random or something and
ends up in
La Blue Girl, Urotsukidoji (Overfiend) or something
along
those lines. More interesting, as she starts doing
the hero
routine and is beating the snot of demons right and
left as
they assault her. With cries of "Etchi" and "Hentai"
and
"Baka" all the way.
:::Scene of the author of this e-mail staring at the
e-mail she is replying to:::
Shadra: ...
There's one scene in the anime where a customer is
asking
Shampoo out on a date. Until Mousse interrupts,
Shamps looks
like she's actively considering it. i think it was
one of
the recent releases where Mousse decides to go back
to China
but waffles and keeps muddling on instead. Having
her decide
she wants a REQUITED love affair with someone who's
not
mistaking inanimate objects for her, she decides to
go after
Gourry (Slayers). Or maybe one of the warriors in
Kenshin.
Or even some halfway nice character in
another anime/series.
"Shampoo really want to snuggle," said the Amazon,
looking
over the tape collection. "Aiyah. Many many
comedies, many
many combats, where character Shampoo can arrange to
catch?
Ahhh. Fuchigi Yugi. Miaka go after Tamahome, so
Shampoo
catch - Chichiri! Is good, he no have crossdresser
or anyone
else pursue. Is helpful and kind. Shampoo take!"
:::Scene of the author if this e-mail pouting because
Gregg already wrote a scene:::
Now a nasty thought is having these characters take
a hike,
but the SI or OI or generic fanboy has to convince
the
characters to come back to their original series.
Problem:
Kuno is having fun and getting respect in Ruroni
Kenshin, or
Akane is having a blast being the hero who pummels
perverts
in Overfiend, etc. They don't *want* to leave.
:::Scenes of fanboys pleading and begging for the
characters to go back to the series so that they can
watch the rest of it:::
ja ne, gregg
Tschus!
-Shadra
:::Scene of the author of this e-mail finishing typing
it and hitting the send but-:::
