"You will obey Kasumi" As a small triangle is drawn in her hair, just behind her ear.
"You will not harm Kasumi" As a mirror triangle is drawn behind Ranma's other ear.
"You will submit to everyone who Kasumi tells you too" As a thin chain is drawn between the triangle, around the back of Ranma's Neck.
Feeling the binding taking place, she proceeds to wake Ranma up.
A Little word on HOW a Geas works.
The Geas Takes incoming brain signals, interperprates command statements, such as 'Do' or 'Now' then proceeds to an action statement like 'Get' or 'Go' finally it get they object in question, Such as 'bucket', 'Condom' or even 'Food'.
It is like turing the Mind into a programing language that the user can edit.
So, a Geas can only work with commands that are understood. For instance, giving a Geas command to a newborn, who cant understand any language is pointless, due to there is nothing to work with.
It cannot take such commands as Teach Advance Wormhole Physics to that bunch of aliens to Ranma, Due to he doesn't know any.
Commanding someone in a launguage they dont speak is useless.
Saying a command to a Deaf person is like talking to a Wall, useless.
Writing a command to an illiterate person is useless.
All these forms of command are useless due to they rely on infomation the the geas does not have. It is a tool, that allows infomation to be rearranged, even forced, but does not carry any semblance of infomation or sentience itself.
And So, we get to the root of the problem, Kasumi was indeed giving commands to Ranma, due to that is who's mind she had access too, and could DEFINATLY feel the commands taking hold, and overwriting any feelings Ranma might have to the contrary, THESE commands would last much longer than the year and a day.
However, as it is well knowen, the Neko-ken is seperate from Ranma's mind, think or it as a second operating system.
It should also be noted that different operating system use different Programming languages. A simple program consisting of Go Get Milk will only run on certain OS's
For instance, Lets look at RanOS 1.0 (before Kasumi minor patch 1.01 came in, or major patch 1.1) It runs software Like: Ego.exe GirlCurse.exe sleep_v2.0.scr (screensaver) speech_beta_1.exe (explains alot dont it?) NekoMoniter.exe (See KittieOS for details.)
Now lets look at KittieOS. KittieOS is a multitasking enviroment, and runs even when RanOS is up, although RanOS doesn't know it due to shoddy programming, RanOS, it should be noted, is very unstable.
KittieOS has the ability to patch RanOS files, Due to RanOS always crashes, and those files aren't in use. and as such has made an adjustment or two to RanOS System Files.
These adjustments are hardly noticable, at least to RanOS. The first, is the editing of the sleep screensaver, up to version 2.0, this allows KittieOS more freedom at night, and can access Ranma's dreams, however KittieOS stays away from area's of Ranma is dreaming to allow him to be anaware of this fact, after all Humans make a far more realistic play world than a cat can, and is thus more fun.
The second is a few core commands put into RanOS base Root, such as cats=bad=activate KittieOS, viola, instant booting, and RanOS will never be the wiser. there are other commands that can activate KittieOS but Ranma has never encountered them.
Fianlly NekoMoniter.exe simply relays all pysical/emaotional infomation to KittieOS. This includes sound, taste, touch, even sight. It also sends across fear, hate and all other emotions.
This allows KittieOS to beaware completely of Ranma's surroundings, how he feels, how his body should react to heal itself faster and the like to KittieOS, It doen't send any infomation across.
This allows, KittieOS to be 10 years old, and in ranma's head, It also allows KittieOS to be completely ignorant os understanding human speech, and is also illiterate. However, it does allow KittieOS to percive threats, and feel emotion in what people are saying to it, even while RanOS is asleep. KittieOS Doesn't really sleep, it has periods where it is inactive, and watches the world go by, it has period where it sits next to RanOS's Ego.exe and enjoys the warmth the overactivity it's use creates, it does NOT have any periods where it is competely cut off.
As such, KittieOS was currently enjoying a nice quiet play in ranma's dream, when the dream started changing to a VERY Kasumi-like outlook. KittieOS wasn't sure when it began to notice Kasumi taking over, it MIGHT have been when the marble statues appeard, it COULD have been when the world started to turn pnik, and Kasumi shaped coulds appeard, however, KittieOS was sure it was DEFINATLY before a leather clad Kasumi appeared before RanOS (which was allways monitered in the dream, even is from a safe distance) chaining RanOS to a bed, before several other Kasumi's started playing with RanOS-Chan, When several Men appeared (Ranma broke into the wrong room once) and started having their way with RanOS that KittieOS decided that someone was doing bad things to RanOS.
Now we come to Geas programming. To program a Geas for RanOS you need simple instructions, in small words. (Pretend your talking to a 5yr old, its very close to RanOS). However KittieOS requires vastly different Programming.
These differences make up a whole world, and only very basic differences are explained here. Think of it like writing a picture book, compared to making a shopping list. KittieOS has no way of reading a shopping list, and need a bright picture, with words at the bottom, words like "meow, mew, mew mew owWWwWww" with a picture of a sandbox. Shopping-list style for RanOS this would by Sandbox=Toilet-Use it
It was KittieOS's decision that RanOS was only allowed very limited system function, after all, direct attack had no effect last time, Then when the time is right, like it was when Kasumi was mating Ranma. *SLASH*
By very limited system function, turn off you computer, and load it in 'Safe mode' then you will have an idea of whats happening.
Ranma Blinked a few times, before screaming "CCAAAAAATTT!!!" and jumping to the roof to avoid the deamonic animals.
'Wonderful' thought Kasumi...
After all why else would it involve torturing them till insanity?
