I'm not dead, just occupied. Mother in palative(sp?) care can do that to
you. I started this a long time ago, but I just finished it today, I was
feeling maudlin, I guess.
On other projects, I've been working on background material to Turn the Page
even as I work on the re-write/re-vamp/re-work/re-whatever of the first bit.
I'm working on some Encyclopedia entries to the universe - methods of space
travel, a list of the major races and a feel for the general politics of the
universe. (Teaser - I'm using Star Control 2 as a primary alien race source
:D)
ANYWAY, here's a little thing I worked up, a crossover/fusion between Ranma
and the game Clive Barker's Undying (last I checked, Mr. Barker doesn't give
two licks about fanfiction). I thought it would be a nice starter to a
multi-author work that I'd be happy to edit if others wanted to work on.
Let me know. I warn you, this is not happy, and VERY OOC.
It's written to parallel the "diary" that comes with the game.

********************************
July 30, 1991
By all the Kami, what have we unleashed? Somehow, somewhere, I should have
known. I should have stopped us before we reached those Stones. Before we
awoke the curse that stalks us now. I can already feel myself weakening,
yet my mind grows sharper with every ounce of strength that leaves me. Is
this how it ends? A body too weak to fight the horror the mind is forced to
face?
Kodachi
*******
June 19, 1991
Kodachi came by. She was subdued in some strange way, yet was even more
arrogant than ever. She talked with Akane about me, I think. They didn't
want me to hear, and when I asked what it was about, Kodachi only gave me a
small, sly smile in response. Akane just looked at me and then left the
room.
June 23, 1991
I found roses in my room. Not black or red ones, but wilted brown ones,
like cut roses that had been left in a vase too long. That day, I stopped
Kuno in the hall to ask about her, and all I got through his ranting was
that she went into her greenhouse last night and never came out. When
Sasuke went in to find her, she had disappeared.
July 10, 1991
Kodachi has been missing for more than two weeks. Kuno and his father don't
even seem to care. I hear they told the police she was off on a trip of
some sort. I know better. The force we awoke took her...or seduced her.
Kuno no longer fights me, either. He refers to me as "my liege", now. No
one notices. Kuno knows where she is, I'm sure of it.
July 12, 1991
I finally cornered Kuno into telling me where his sister was. He told me
something about how the "Princess of Eternal Autumn" had left to prepare
herself and her land for the "Return." That night I dreamt of the Stones,
and woke screaming.
July 15, 1991
Kuno and his father have missed school two days straight. They've been
taken by the force, or perhaps Kodachi took them for it? I know it. No one
notices the changes except for me. Someone outside of this has to solve
this mystery, for I am too weak to now. My life's candle grows short.
Shampoo
*******
June 17, 1991
Shampoo and Akane fought today. Shampoo's got a new style, I guess. It
looks like she's acting like some sort of animal - her hands are curled into
claws, and the way she stands...it's almost like a cat.
June 20, 1991
I never liked the ghoul, but still, to go like that... She was found in the
alley, her throat torn out as if by a wild animal. Shampoo's taking it
well. Better than Mousee, actually. I thought she'd be more broken up
about it.
July 11, 1991
The Stones have Shampoo now, I'm sure of it. Mousse came by, bleeding and
torn, babbling about how she had become some sort of beast. He claimed he
barely managed to fight her off, and ran. His mind has gone, I can tell -
he'll never stop running now.
July 13, 1991
It won't help him. Nothing will. Nothing can save us. I hear the stories
from the news, the missing children, the ravaged corpses. The Beast
Princess stalks the city now, and she is hunting us all. Especially me.
Dear god, what have I wrought?
Ukyo
****
June 21, 1991
I went by Ukyo's place today. Her cooking's gone totally downhill. Heck,
Akane cooks better now. She's weird, like she's walking around in a daze
half the time. Konatsu's frantic, but he doesn't know what he can do. I
hope she gets better soon.
July 5, 1991
How does someone just "stop"? Ukyo was getting worse and worse, according
to Konatsu, until she finally just didn't wake up. She's alive, but its
like the body is an empty shell. The doctors think she has some sort of
brain disorder.
July 16, 1991
She spoke to me last night, in my dreams. Ukyo. She's alive, like a ghost.
She pretends that she's free of her body, that's its like some leftover, but
I can see it, now and then. She's tied to it, and she knows what's become
of it, how wasted it is now, how she's slowly dying in that hospital bed.
It horrifies and thrills her.
July 21, 1991
The Princess of Ether calls me...with the Song of the Stones. I resist, but
it takes my life to do so. She also calls, searches for something else. A
stone, like a heart. Gel'zibar.
Akane
*****
July 24, 1991
Oh gods, not Akane. Not her. I thought she had been spared, but I see
better now. The darkness in her eyes. The fury, that was limited to small
rages before, now fills her days. She nearly killed Nabiki today over some
stupid pictures. She STRUCK Kasumi. She has been taken by the Stones as
well. My Akane...my tomboy is now a monster like the others, but hiding in
human form. A Princess in her own way, one of the lowest part of humanity.
She's made friends with some gangers, apparently, and has left to be with
them.
Ranma
*****
July 27, 1991
I see it now. I see what I must do. I cannot end this, I cannot save them.
I am too weak, my body has wasted, even as my mind has sharpened, grown
strong. The effort of trying to fight off the siren call of the Stones and
my Princesses fill my days. Another must see this to the end. By who?
July 30, 1991
Ryoga. It must be him, the others are useless. They've become part of
this, the Stones have them, even as they grasp for me. He was there, when
we woke the Stones, but he was spared with that rock, that Gel'zibar he took
from the site of the Stones. It defends him from their power. I only hope
I can find him, and that he is strong enough to do what must be done.
God help us all.
