That made things a bit easier for those who had to clean up the mess.
"Girls? Say hello to your groom," the doctor told them.
"Hello," every one of the girls chorused to the pigtailed boy, with even a few looking almost like they'd bow to him.
"Uhh... hi," Ranma lamely answered, letting his gaze flit from one glittering eyed and smiling visage to another.
"Very good. Now, girls, this is Ranma Saotome, a martial artist who'd been in training for the last ten years, and is apparently in good health. Ranma? Would you like to know who the girls are?"
"Ya... gonna tell me?"
"Certainly."
"I guess...."
"Good," the doctor told him, and led him to stand in front of the first girl in the line. "This is Ami Mizuno. She's highly intelligent, and very responsible, though she's rather shy."
Looking upon the girl with the short blue hair, Ranma had to agree. She was rather pretty, in a quiet and intellectual way, though she did have the body of someone who exercised with some regularity.
"Next, we have Minako Aino, who doesn't have the best test scores, but is known for her very bright attitude."
By how the beautiful blonde seemed ready to bounce up and down where she stood, it was clear that the comments about her were not wrong. But the look in her eyes said that she was really happy to see him, and would likely show how much that was as soon as she was able to.
"Here is Usagi Tsukino, a girl who has apparently shown some innate ability to connect with people."
Ranma could see a similarity in hair style between this girl and the one that he'd met at the Amazon village, but there were some differences. This blonde was slim and softly feminine where the Chinese girl was busty and toned. And she had a dreamy look in her eyes that seemed to tell him that she was someone who would actually care about him, even if they'd never met before.
"Here is Rei Hino. She's got all sorts of special abilities that makes her natural as a miko. If you need spirit wards, or glimpses of the future, this is your girl."
'A banked fire' was what Ranma thought when he saw the leggy brunette. Even though she was clearly calm and collected, he could see that under the surface, she was ready to explode, and, given how she was looking him over, he wasn't certain how close he could get to her without getting burned.
The doctor raised a brow, but merely pulled Ranma to the next girl. "Ranma, this is Makoto Kino, skilled in both arts domestic and martial."
Now that was something that Ranma could believe as he let his eyes run over the busty girl. Normally, tall and strong looking females didn't seem like the sort to expect to be good in the kitchen, but something about the way this girl held herself said that she wasn't just a fighter. Of course, she did have that look in her eye that said that she was hungry for something, but fortunately, he she wasn't as forward as that Minako girl.
"And now for Hotaru. She's got some special healing abilities, but she's also been..."
A weak smile flitted onto the pigtailed boy's face, though he wasn't certain if it was simply because he was being expected to add a fragile looking violet eyed girl to this insanity, or that he wanted to reassure her. Either way, a small return smile came up on her features, and she looked shyly, if happily, back at him.
"Ahh... Well, here is Haruka Ten'ou. A track star, she's proven to be able to run like the wind."
Haruka's eyes looked directly at Ranma's and she seemed to be silent measuring the sort of person he was. Whatever she saw in him didn't seem to really affect the athletic beauty's apparent desire to do something to him, though he couldn't tell if it was just something that came from her being a girl, or if she actually wanted it herself.
"Miss Kaioh is our next girl, and Michiru is a very skilled young woman. As an artist, and a violinist, she's certainly talented."
Being faced with an elegant young woman was a surprise, considering the fact that his father had always painted girls as constantly being willing to sap the life out of a man, and his experiences in the village. But this girl was proving that not all girls were that... animalistic. She was coolly smiling at him, making it clear that she was ready for whatever might come.
"And last, but not least, Setsuna Meiou," the doctor told him. "Intelligent, and educated, as well as being the eldest of the brides."
This was most certainly a woman, who was tall, tanned, and very aware of particular things. She seemed to be able to keep herself in hand, though it was clear that as soon as she could, she'd be ripping his clothes off, and trying to get him on the nearest flat object.
"Please understand that each of them have been chosen after long deliberations, and they have been picked to be your wives. As has been agreed to, you will be expected to do your part, but we're certain that you're up to it."
"Hold on...." Ranma trailed off. "They're supposed ta be mine?"
"Exactly."
"Aren't they gonna... wanna... y'know... get inta my pants?"
"That's part of what married groups do. You'll be expected to sleep with them as you and they may wish, though Hotaru is a bit young."
"I... I'm... supposed ta...."
"Is there a problem with this arrangement?"
Gazing back at the doctor, Ranma:
