My prereader hasnt responded yet, and I've decided it's more efficient
anyway to use the ffml. DSpawn, consider this your notification. You didn't
do anything wrong, but I've simply decided this is easier to do.
By the way, My previous drafts of chapter one are useless, as Ranma is now
stuck in girl-form.
NOTE: Everyone knows who our mystery-kami is, but since I do not have his
explicit permission to use the character as of yet, I am omitting his name.

The camera pans in on a rather tall man appearing about 20-something. He
sits down at a computer where something is beeping rather frantically.

He begins speaking to himself with a heavy australian accent "[Lessee what
we got 'ere...]" At this, he clicks the button on the screen.
----- CASEFILE -----
Circa 1000 B.C.E., one Ranma Saotome appeared suddenly on the present-day
island of Sicily. At this time, one Odysseus Laertiades was in the act of
drilling a large sharp stick in the eye of Polyphemous the Cyclops, son of
Poseidon. He was locked in girl form at the time by the Chiisuton. Ranma
will be hit by Chiisuton water by the Musk at T minus 00:05:00, he is to be
transferred through time without his direct knowledge five minutes after
this.

"<Sorry, sir. It's already happened, and it is a major part of the
timeline.>"

"<DAMMIT! You got me wet, and changed me into a girl!!!>"

Ranma then punts Lime into LEO. Then, she goes home to turn back into a
male, only to find that:

She didn't change. "<AAAAAHH!!! I'M STUCK AS A GIRL AGAIN!!!!>"

Our favorite self-insertionist pressed the command to send Ranma back in
time. "[There, it's done.]"
-We'll get back to Ranma's timeline in a little bit, but here's a little
something else.-
"<Hey, ATHENA, POSEIDON! I've got something to tell you!>"
P."What?!" A."What is it?"
"Remember that Ranma kid you guys had to deal with back when Odysseus was
wandering around?"
P."Yes..." A."Sure, what about him?"
"Well, I just sent him back in time."
-silence-
"YOU WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
[hey, along with permission to _actually_ use the character, i could use
some SERIOUS help writing this scene]

Fade in on a blind man preparing to write an epic tale.
"Sing to me, Muse, the tale of a man who was never at a loss.. Who could
turn any bad situation upside down...."
Calliope sighs in exasperation. "There's been a problem. Someone else has
entered the story, someone sent back in time from thrice again in the future
the length of time that it was in the past. Very well... I will tell you the
story; of the man who was never at a loss, and the woman who was actually a
man."

Ranma finally got her bearings back, and was straining to listen to a voice
from inside the cave, which several one-eyed monsters were listening to
outside of the cave.
The voice inside the cave said "Tous dh'haut' ex adrou prosephekrateros
