WHO AM I
You are Cologne, three-hundred-year-old mistress of Joketsuzoku martial arts, great-grandmother to Shampoo and great-grandmother-in-law to Ranma Saotome.
Once he accepts his marriage to your heir.
Your goal is to achieve this, bringing in the most powerful and promising young martial artist you have ever seen into the tribe and bringing to your lovestruck descendant.
LOOK
Nekohanten, Main Bedroom:
This is the bedroom you share with your great-granddaughter Shampoo.
You are currently wrapped in the blankets of the double bed the two of you sleep in, your great-granddaughter lying face-down on the other side.
She softly murmurs "Ranma" in her sleep.
In one corner of the room stands a cupboard in which the two of you keep your clothes.
In another stands your private treasure chest, housing the various mystical and alchemical paraphernalia you have availible here in Japan.
There is a window to the side, with trees visible outside.
Your staff is leaning beside the bed.
LOOK AT SHAMPOO
Your great-granddaughter is an exotic beauty, especially compared to her arch-rival Akane Tendo.
She is buxom in build, has a great body and face, has purplish-blue hair that stretches down almost to her ankles and is wearing a cheongsam that barely covers her decently.
She is asleep.
From the sounds she makes, it seems she is dreaming about her beloved Ranma.
LOOK AT CHEST
Three hundred years does not treat anyone kindly. Your once-proud bosom has deflated over the centuries into little more than a particuarly wrinkled fold of skin on your scrawny chest.
LOOT AT CHEST OF MAGIC, STUPID
There is no chest of magic, stupid, here.
LOOK AT CHEST OF MAGIC
This chest houses magical items, spellbooks, recipes for alchemical and herbal concoctions, and the reagents for those concoctions. It is a treasure trove of arcana unmatched in all of Nerima, and far better kept than Happosai's junk drawer.
LOOK AT CUPBOARD
It is a fine wooden cupboard, easily big enough to house the clothes needed for two women.
Your trained eyes make out a secret drawer in the cupboard.
SECRET DRAWER
This does not compute.
GO SECRET DRAWER
You cheer on the secret drawer.
This has no effect.
GO TO SECRET DRAWER
You are in bed and cannot reach.
GET OUT OF BED
You hop out of the bed, grabbing your staff for ease of movement.
There is a noise from the kitchen.
You are now carrying:
-nightgown
-staff
-grandmastery of martial arts
-more martial arts knowledge and occultic lore than you can shake a stick at
-wily cunning honed over three centuries of life
-goal to make Ranma marry Shampoo
LISTEN TO NOISE
The noise is the sound of pots clanging, water splashing, and angry quacking.
Mousse must have had some kind of accident and knocked the dishes around.
He was supposed to put them away last night.
WHO IS MOUSSE
Mousse is another Chinese Amazon, a male practictioner of Hidden Weapons style.
He is an old friend of Shampoo's who wishes to become her husband.
He is something of a stalker, a bumbling buffon with lethal intentions, and generally a pain in the ass.
Shampoo has some friendship for him, but she does not love him.
It would not be a stretch to say she hates him.
Mousse wants to kill Ranma and he often insults you.
He has very poor eyesight and tends to confuse things and people.
He is one of the biggest obstacles in your path to getting Shampoo to marry Ranma.
You have gained item: barely restrained disgust for Mousse.
You are now carrying:
-nightgown
-staff
-grandmastery of martial arts
-more martial arts and occultic lore than you can shake a stick at
-wily cunning honed over three centuries of life
-goal to make Ranma marry Shampoo
-barely restrained disgust for Mousse
OPEN SECRET DRAWER
You must be near the secret drawer to open it.
GO TO SECRET DRAWER
You hop over to the cupboard and stare at the secret drawer.
OPEN SECRET DRAWER
Inside is your most well-kept secret, more precious than even the chest of magic: scrolls of secret Joketsuzoku special techniques.
From the Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken to the Hiryu Shoten Ha, from the Bauksai Tenketsu to the Splitting Cat Hairs, all of these and more are described here.
Ranma would do almost anything to see these techniques.
Why, he would even be willing to spar/practise with Shampoo if she would be willing to teach him one of these moves in the process.
And if Ranma spends time with Shampoo in such a way, he may come to understand that she is truly the best match for him.
THINK
You start thinking. You soon come up with a plan of action.
