Techniques & Tights: Curses, foiled again. [Episode 108831]

by dogbertcarroll

Ranma found himself enclosed in a sphere of blue light as he stood there with his breadstick raised. Strangely enough his danger sense didn’t even twinge. Heck he was beginning to feel like a weight was being taken from his shoulders, not a lot, just a couple of hundred pounds or so.

Small curses began to snap around him, as larger curses were weakened.

The Curse of the interrupted Bath. Cast on Genma by an angry priestess while he was training under Happosai. Genma was the largest target and the easiest to hit. The curse follows the family line. Genma found a priest that could cure it easily enough, but didn’t feel like paying the extra 500 yen to prevent it from afflicting his heirs. A relatively minor curse, that insures that people will unintentionally interrupt one while bathing. Can be cured by a simple prayer apologizing to the Kamis of cleanliness. *snap*

The Curse of Manliness. Cast on Ranma by Genma, who didn’t bother to read enough of the scroll to realize the author of the scroll was being sarcastic. Causes the victim to lose interest and fall asleep any time anything sufficiently scholarly is discussed. Can be overcome by force of will, if the victim hasn’t become convinced that anything too scholarly was unmanly. *snap*

The Curse of Parental Obedience. Cast on Ranma by Genma. Causes victim to follow parental instruction on an instinctive level. Even after learning said instructions were bull will tend to fall back into obeying them on an instinctive level. Can be cured by spending at least eight months separated from affecting parent. *snap*

The Curse of the foolish Disguise. Cast on Genma and Ranma by a priest who believed that they had to be something supernatural in disguise, because of the amount they ate at an ‘all you can eat’ buffet held at his temple. Causes victim to believe that ridiculous and easy to see through disguise will fool everyone. Can be cured by simply examining ones self in a silver backed mirror while in ‘disguise’. *snap*

The Curse of Poor planning. Cast on the Satome family line, somewhere back in history, by a rival clan who despised them because of their wealth. Causes victim and people associated with them to jump to conclusions and make plans with minimal facts available. Hard to cure but considered a minor curse because of its intermittent nature. *snap*

Robert finally collapsed in his seat only to find Vanessa occupying his lap and her tongue his mouth.

“Ranma? Are you ok?” A nervous Nabiki asked anxiously.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Heck, I feel better then fine. It feels like someone just removed a boulder from my shoulders that I hadn’t noticed before.”

Glancing over at the wizard Ranma decided he really should thank him, before he decided to curse him for being ungrateful.

“Hey man. Thanks! I don’t know what you did, but I feel loads better.”

The wizard gave him a quick thumbs up, being unable to respond because of his girlfriend’s attempts to remove his tonsils with her tongue.

Ranma shrugged and smiled at a relieved Nabiki. “Man I feel good. So did you decide what to order?” Nabiki just stared at Ranma for a moment before shrugging it off as being not that big a deal, considering Ranma’s usual daily chaos. “How abought we just order a couple of burgers and a soda?” Ranma nodded. “Sounds good to me.”
