[Episode 141040] [Episode 141040]Akane glared at her elder sister, while Kasumi started. "Nabiki, you shouldn't say such things!"
"Why not sis, it's perfectly obvious. We're all chained up in a dungeon completely naked with no real way of covering ourselves up and Ranma, the only guy, is the only person that can reach the rest of us. Except that the moment he does reach someone, they immediately start screwing like rabbits, and the rest of us can't completely take our attention off the show."
A murmur of agreement circulated, mostly drowned out by the uninhibitedly vocal coupling that everyone else had one eye firmly locked on.
"The way I see it, we've pretty much got two possibilities."
"The one is that she gets freed, but can't do anything to help the rest of us. So Ranma has to 'free' each of the rest of us. And before you start, sis," forcing Akane to back down, "I, for one, have no intention of dieing of thirst and starvation out of stupid prudery."
"The other is that she doesn't get freed, but Ranma moves on to the next girl and so on, still caught up in the effects of that lust spell."
"Surely, it's not as simple as that?" Kasumi asked. "The spell could simply stop once their finished."
"Sis, what generally happens when a starving person gets food?"
Kasumi frowned at the apparent non sequitur, then her eyes widened. "They gorge themselves."
"Right. Now, the only reason I've never bothered setting up a betting pool as to whether or not Ranma ever attended a proper sex-ed class or the like is because nobody in Nerima is that much of a sucker." Nabiki glanced around briefly, and smirked. "Present company excepted."
"Hey!"
"Although I must admit some of the bets as to exactly how far Genma would've gone to assure that Ranma remained focussed on the Art surprised even me."
"Damn," Ukyou muttered. "That bastard would pull some sort of shit like that, wouldn't he."
"Nabiki," Kasumi interjected, "surely Ranma would never do anything like that to us. You know how much he hates hurting girls."
"Kasumi, I think we can safely say that those two aren't hurting in the slightest. In fact, from the way they're going at it, satiated, not hurt, is how she's likely to end up. And since Ranma almost certainly has never learned the consequences of sex, he has no reason not to 'comfort' the rest of us."
"So why Airen never respond to Shampoo?"
"A few possibilities, such as repressed hormones, the fear of Akane, your own over-aggressiveness, and a desire not to hurt the rest of us. Actually, the last point pretty much guarantees that he'll do the rest of us. Ranma'll believe that by being with one girl, he'll be hurting the rest of us."
There was a period of (relatively) quiet contemplation as everybody digested that.
"Well, at least we can be pretty certain that Happousai didn't cast this spell," Nabiki noted.
"Why do you say that, sugar?" Ukyou asked, "this's just the sort of thing he'd go for."
"True, except that if that old pervert had pulled this off, Ranma-chan would be in the circle with the rest of us and he'd be the one in the middle."
At once, everyone who knew of Happousai -- everyone cognizant, that was -- promptly turned a most unappealing shade of green.
Pulling herself together, Nabiki continued. "In any case, while this might be the sort of magic that Happousai might have stashed away, we can be almost certain he isn't responsible. As for the others, well, Kuno would've set it up with him, Akane, and Ranma-chan, and most of the rest are similarly predictable. No, it's pretty obvious exactly who is responsible," Nabiki concluded, fixing both her eyes on the coupling pair, who were actually getting rather creative.
Akane noted the focus of her attention and, naturally, jumped to exactly the wrong conclusion. "That pervert! I knew he was lying about not being responsible for this mess. He set the whole thing up. That jerk!"
That outcry, of course, immediately fixated the attention of everyone else in the room. Well, as much as possible, anyways. Ranma and his lover remained blissfully unaware, and everybody else still kept one eye fixed firmly on the show.
"Shampoo always know Kitchen Destroyer an idiot, but this ridiculous."
"Don't blame her entirely, Shampoo," Nabiki replied. "You're somewhat responsible for that as well."
"What mean Mercenary Girl?"
"It took me awhile to figure things out, but that memory block you placed on Akane so that she couldn't remember Ranma was never removed. Ranma basically taunted her in to bypassing it instead, and everybody forgot about it."
"That's crazy!" one of the unidentified girls interjected. "If she was using rage to bypass such a memory block, then her every thought and memory about the subject of that block would be tainted by that rage."
"Correct. And when you consider the efforts our fathers are going to press the match between Akane and Ranma, ignoring honour, reality, and everything else..."
"They're hoping to replace the rage that forms the bypass with physical lust, or something similar."
"Right. Basically, they're expecting to turn Akane from a berserker to a nymphomaniac, guaranteeing the continuation of the Houses."
"So that why Ranma mother no want Shampoo to remove effects?"
"Now that figures. Those two idiots are far too stupid, but she's certainly obsessed enough..."
"so who do you figure is responsible?"
"Isn't it obvious? This is just another of our father's ridiculous schemes to get Akane and Ranma together. Unfortunately for them, magic tends to require rather more focus than they're capable of, and everybody who's either an active suitor for Ranma or, very likely, was betrothed to him by his father, Genma Saotome."
Nabiki glanced at the number of strangers ensconced with the rest of them. "Of course, whether anyone but Genma and the parent or guardian who made each of the matches were aware of it is irrelevant."
Another of the strangers spoke up, "So, what do you think will happen to us once we're all properly fucked?"
Nabiki shrugged. "A few possibilities. We could remain stuck here indefinitely, passing the time making love with Ranma in turn. We could return exactly where and when we came from, with or without any real memories. We could even end up somewhere random together and have to go through some sort of quest."
Kodachi, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, spoke up. "I believe that we will be released from our chains, and then our cell, and, eventually, the dungeon itself."
"What makes you say that, sugar?"
"Nabiki saw what appeared to be torture equipment beyond this cell, right?"
"Right."
"At first glance, much equipment which is used for sex-play appears very much as torture equipment. Generally, only close examination will reveal the truth."
"So, basically, what you're suggesting is that, once Ranma's screwed all of us, our chains will be released so that we can all enjoy some sort of huge orgy before going out to try out a bunch of sex devices that look just like medieval torture equipment?"
"Mmm hmm."
"Great. So, does anyone have a clue exactly who Ranma is currently reaming out? While we're at it, perhaps some introductions are in order."
One of the strangers spoke up, "Her? She's...
