Dr. Theodore Diggers psyched himself up as he strolled down the corridor of his mansion; he was about to risk life, limb, and sanity attempting to go somewhere that man was never meant to go.
Brianna’s Bedroom.
He was not in danger of being beset for ‘nookie’ as some in the house were… at least he sincerely hoped not. That however did not mean that the danger from his newest daughter’s creations was any less, especially from those explosive Peeboo machines of hers.
He consoled himself that after the repeated berating that Brianna had received about her Peeboos, they should have all be safely locked away within the armory where they could not harm anyone, namely him.
Still there were other dangers to account for in her room; Theo doubted either Gina or Brianna truly understood the concept of cleaning up after themselves and then there was the horror of Brianna’s closet. That could best be compared to a Japanese Hentai movie of Cthulhu attacking a beach full of hermaphrodite cat-girls/boys/things, the less that was seen or heard the better.
Theodore Diggers, Arch-Mage of Jade, Husband of the Armsmistress of Jade, and father of three paused outside the door to Brianna’s bedroom and steeled himself.
The reason he was about to brave his youngest daughters room was because of the numerous magical discharges from Brianna’s room that he had felt on the other side of the manor. The first and even second discharges he was able to ignore and put down to the random magical feats that she had been pulling ever since the Grave Digger incident on Jade.
They had discovered Brianna’s new found magical talents through a number of minor mishaps, the worst was when she decided to experiment, and managed to imbue a Peeboo with magical powers. Theo remembered the incident with annoyance, infinite self-replicating bit bombs were hardly pleasant things to deal with first thing in the morning. Only the great Moscow Wabbit incident of 1857 rivaled the sheer bedlam his youngest daughter caused with that incident.
Theo was honestly surprised they still had neighbors.
After that incident, Theo had labored to teach Brianna to control her magic but like all of his daughters; Brianna regrettably seemed lacking in magical talent despite her subconscious, perhaps reflexive, usage of it. The best option seemed to be placing spells to coerce Brianna’s magic away from performing damaging or malicious actions whilst simply enduring the occasional magical mishap she had.
Theo had put up a new family rule that stated Brianna was simply not allowed to experiment around with magic, mainly because she had no control over half the incidents. Brianna had looked a bit put out by the proclamation but her father was an Arch-Mage and therefore the authority on magical matters. Besides, even she agreed that the magic stuff was more hassle than it was worth and she would much rather spend her time down at the firing range or out with her friends.
Which leads us full circle back to the reason why Dr Theodore Diggers was standing outside his youngest daughters room, a hefty magical discharges could be put down to Brianna being stressed. A second magical discharge could be put down to Brianna collaring that poor Saotome boy again and hence Theo’s initial reluctance to come over here. A third magical discharge in less than an hour meant either trouble or Brianna was experimenting again... or both, most likely both.
Taking a deep breath, Theo opened the door and strode into Brianna’s room with all the power and righteous presence that only an Arch-Mage can master, intent on giving his youngest a lecture on magical safety especially on responsible magic use.
Magic and technology mixed poorly, as did self-replication and high explosives.
What Theo got however was an eyeful of female flesh, both ‘human’ and were-cheetah as his two daughters spun around at his sudden barging into the room.
“Dad!” shrieked the embarrassed and shocked voice of both his daughters as they reflexively covered themselves as best they could.
Admittedly, neither was hugely embarrassed at being caught so under dressed but still, they had an illusion of modesty to keep up and really, you did not want your father seeing you naked.
Theo quickly closed his eyes and span on his heels, his aura of power, and righteous presence fizzling away in his embarrassment at catching Brianna and ‘Britney’ changing. As he closed the door behind him to wait for them to dress, his mind idly wondered what Britney was doing changing in Brianna’s room of all places. It was then when several things occurred to him in rapid succession.
One, Britney was downstairs. He had passed her a little while ago and he doubted that she would have suddenly rushed to Brianna’s room when she was having a ‘cuddle session’ with Strype.
Two, Britney was a lot taller than the were-cheetah he had just seen.
Three, Britney did not have such a chaotic aura nor the stench of Jusenkyo’s magic around her.
Conclusion: Were-cheetah with Brianna is not Britney.
Theo did not even have to wonder where another were-cheetah had come from, as the answer was blindingly obvious to anyone who had half a brain and had been around the Diggers mansion in the past few days.
Who else was a were-cheetah on Earth?
Who else had a chaotic aura?
Who else had a Jusenkyo curse that turned them into a female?
Who else had a female form that was a lot shorter than their male form?
Conclusion: Ranma Saotome.
Secondary conclusion: Youngest daughter is skipping out on her punishment and had dragged Ranma back for ‘nookie’, in female form nonetheless!
******
Grave and Brianna exchanged a look that could be summed up in the word ‘shit’ just before the door, which had not yet even fully closed, burst back open with their father in full flaming skull glory.
