Plotbunnies/Pastebin/Wishlist!

[robkelk]

Here's a plotbunny for anybody who's interested in writing a short story in the setting but doesn't know what to write. (And, of course, who has time to write it.) If you're interested in becoming a writer here and would prefer to "try out" for a spot in the writers' circle, feel free to develop this idea into a story.

Ryouga Hibiki, the eternally lost boy from Ranma ½, gets lost once again. Since he (and the rest of the Nerima Wrecking Crew, minus Happosai and the Kunos) lives in Nova Scotia in this setting, that means he's stumbled across the border and into Lovecraft Country. And he's found a Colour Out of Space. Not being a complete moron... no, wait. Not finding anything he can punch, he makes a note of it and moves on.

When he finally gets back in touch with the other displacees, he mentions having found something unworldly that was sucking the life energy out of everything around it. That sounds like a job for the Sailor Senshi! So they're dispatched to Ryouga's current location - via Sailor Teleport so that they actually arrive before he leaves. They can destroy or drive off this being that's draining life energy, right? That's what they do in their home universe, after all.

Now, the first problem with this plan is that it assumes Ryouga can re-find a place that he's only visited once before. The second problem is that a Colour Out of Space is an Outside Context Problem, much like Pharaoh 90 - driving it off won't be as easy as the Sailors expect.
