Buru (to himself): ...maybe it's actually a jazz/mambo fusion... (spots the house, out loud) Wow! Hard wood floors! (advances toward the house to some inaudible beat)
Kuno: (thinking) "I wonder what could Ranma have on his mind." Kuno: (out loud) "Methinks I am being taken for a fool Ranma Saotome!!, I shall keep my eyes on you." *Walks towards the mansion while giving Ranma a sinister look*.....*then walks into a wall*. Kuno : "What trickery is this?!?" *draws sword and stumbles into the mansion doorway*
As Ranma watched, Kuno and Ken both ran for the door, only to have it swing slowly open as they got there (Buru then 'waltzed' in behind...). An older-looking man in full draped clothes answered the door, his nose apparantley erected in a permanent upper position. "Yes, sirs...? Who may you be who would pay a visit to the master at this unnanounced time?" [This message has been edited by BakaMattSu (edited 10-09-2001).]
RANMA: (Ducks slightly back to avoid the blow) Hey, hey, Ryoga. Aren't we in a sudden mood? What's the matter, feeling a little bit of piggy coming on?
Royoga : When i learn this move!!! i will defeat you!!!!Ranma be prepared to die!!!!! (thinking in his head......if i can beat ranma akane will be mine.....)lol
RANMA: (cynical) Well, how are you gonna learn it standing around and watching those guys beat you to it, Ryoga?
Royoga : Ahhhh(runs up to the door where the other guys are, laughing at the same time) [This message has been edited by TamaKameKami (edited 09-13-2001).]
KEN (to other PC's): Stand aside, amigos. This one's mine. KEN (to guy in door): Hola, senor. I am Ken Purazuma, a noble warrior in search of new techniques. I have been told that this is the home of the master of the zenzan technique. Would he be home ahora? ------------------ Ganbare, Zanshi, Ganbare ...
Kuno : this is foolishry!! *Walks over to the noodle stand and buys more noodles* Kuno (to Noodle Stand owner): Now couldst thou please tell me where it is that I must go?
Kuno : Listen old man!, this is my only chance to defeat my rival and woo Akane Tendo and the Pig-Tailed Girl! Now tell me the real direction!
KEN (to old man): Listen, señor. You say you were not told to expect anyone, but now we are telling you to expect us now. Now, are you going to help us, or will we have to do things the more ... difficult way? Myself and these others could make you flatter than a tortilla in an instant, but I'd like to be diplomatic.
MAN: (Worried expression) There is no need to be violent, sir. If things are as such, I shall make an exception - this time. (Opens the door wide to reveal a grand hallway, then steps aside and motions to the three at the doorway) Right this way...
The man lead the three inwards to a grandoise gallery of a hall chamber. The room itself looked large enough to encompass the whole of the tendo dojo, with room to spare... At the end of a long stride of doors that lead who-knows-where was a double staircase spiraling up into an overhang of golden-twinged railings. Seeing the three disappear into the doorway, Kuno abruptly dropped his bowl of noodles, and bolted - the door slamming in his face... "It will take more than a mere frame of woodwork to best the great Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!!" Wooden sword flashing out, Ranma looked over as Kuno shred the door into four neatly piled pieces. The upperclassman then proceeded to venture after and catch up with the others. After the 5th doorway, the guide opened up one of the side entrances with a key on a large ring from his pocket. Gathering inside the plush waiting room, they were greeted with a set of simple dressing screens... Faced with four puzzling stares, he started, closing the door behind him... "I am terribly sorry about this, but the master is very traditional when it comes to his family ties. He refuses to pay heed to anyone if they do not meet his statures... The first, and foremost is that all attendants must wear their garments inside-out..."
