I'm a little stuck at the moment. Ranma's curse is about to be revealed and I'd like to have your opinion on how he'll react.
First I'll post the premise and next the different possible reactions I could think of. Keep in mind that Ranma hasn't told them about the curse. In canon he never does voluntarily.
Ranma lands in the underground river through a stupid accident (like so often) and jumps out of it. To the astonishment of Rydia and Tellah an unknown girl has replaced the martial artist.
Before they could attack Kasumi jumps in front of Ranma and tells them that they are about to attack Ranma.
Now here's where' I'm not sure about Ranma's reaction. In the anime (I can't remember how it was in the manga) he doesn't always react in the same way (he reacted differently when the Tendos and Ryoga found out). Here are the possibiltities I've come up with:
- embarrassment :
"Hehe! I'm Ranma. Sorry about this." He scratches the back of his head in embarrassment. "You know, there's a perfectly logical explanation for this..."
- shame and self-pity:
"I... didn't want you to find out. You can't imagine how difficult it is to live with a curse like this. All the pitying or hateful looks; being treated like a freakshow. I wanted to avoid that this time. Well, I shouldn't have got my hopes up. This always happens... "
- indifference:
"Yeah, well, it's a curse. Cold water = girl, warm water =
boy. Nothing I can do about it. I've had the curse for more than a year now. No known cure.Heh, I had hoped I could hide this. Ah, well,...
- anger leading to annoyance:
"Dammit! I should have known. Damn curse never gives me a break and always activates at the wrong time."
Then he saw the strange looks Tellah and Rydia were giving him.
"WHAT?" He snarled at them before claming down. "Yeah, it's me, Ranma. It's a curse. Not like I can do anything about it..."
So, what do you think is the most likely reaction? Maybe some of you have your own idea as to how he'd react.
