Greenery Day, Day 19 (1)

After watching the police haul off the tranquilized panda for the fourth morning in row, Ranma walked into a nearby café and ordered breakfast for himself. He wanted to mull over his plans for the day one more time before putting them into effect. Or trying to put them into effect. After all, things didn't always go quite the way he intended.

He had managed to get the Tendo girls to tell him quite a lot about themselves the last three days, and even paid attention. He knew that Kasumi had a fair bit more experience than she wanted either of her sisters to know about, as well as some pretty quirky ideas, like her whole ‘boys shouldn't touch semen’ attitude. It had given him considerable amusement to maneuver her into saying more than she intended in front of the other two girls, and watching her blush afterward. The looks of shock on Akane's face were kind of priceless as well.

In almost direct contrast, Nabiki tried to pretend to more experience than she truly had. Although she never came straight out and claimed anything that wasn't true, still she danced around the truth trying to get him to draw the wrong conclusions. After sifting her words for the last few days, however, he was nearly certain that she hadn't done anything more than kiss a boy so far. A smile touched his lips as he reflected on his plan to make use of that tendency to imply she'd done more than she really had.

The youngest sister, Akane, hadn't even kissed a boy. She had some darned unflattering opinions about guys in general, although in those instances where her sisters persuaded her to set those attitudes aside for a few moments, she could demonstrate an innocent curiosity about sex — and his body in particular — which was always guaranteed to make him rock hard. And to be honest with himself, once she had explained about the morning fights with the idiots at her school, he found that he couldn't blame her too much for her opinions. It was a pity that every day was Sunday for him, and he couldn't make a trip to her school to beat the shit out of all those assholes himself, but he had played with the notion of hunting down this Kuno fellow one day and putting him in the hospital until the time loop reset.

Computer and GD

The computer seems to be behaving so far. Thank God. I've gotten a fair bit written on the next chapter of Greenery Day. I plan to skip forward a few days, and review what happened on the intervening days in recall and flashbacks, rather than going into extensive detail on Ranma's minor variations on what he's already done. The idea is to skip to the next significantly new thing he tries.

Up and Down

So, as everyone reading this blog is aware, I posted another piece of Greenery Day last night. I was feeling darn good about that when I went to bed.

Then I get up this morning and boot up my computer. Or try to. It reported a disk error and failed to boot. And the same again, when I rebooted (hoping the previous error was a fluke). And another failure when I tried to reboot into recovery mode. As you might imagine I was feeling a bit queasy by then.

I've spent all day, outside of the time I was at the office, wrestling with it. On the plus side, it appears that only the partition containing the operating system was affected, and the data partitions are still clean. Which means, worst comes to worst, I can probably get by with a reformat, isolation of the bad clusters, and reinstallation of the OS. I'm hoping it won't come to that. At the moment it looks like I've repaired the partition, and the only corrupted files were ones I didn't care about (like obscure documentation, and icons for programs I've never used and don't intend to use). I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, to see what the coming days will bring.

Greenery Day, Day 15 (4)

Ranma continued to stroke himself, carefully watching the girl sitting before him. She appeared to be completely frozen, as if he'd fried her brain. The only indication of awareness was the way her eyes tracked his hand, back and forth, back and forth. The boy allowed his eyebrows to lift the tiniest fraction, as he wondered whether she'd continue to sit there like that until he came all over her.

However, it couldn't have been much more than half a minute, a minute at most, before the older girl shook herself out of her trance. “Uh, R-Ranma-chan,” she half-whispered, in a very shaky voice, “I think you should stop doing that.”

“Why?” Ranma asked, just a bit petulantly. “It feels really, really good!”

Kasumi swallowed hard. She had spoken no more than the truth earlier, telling her sisters that Ranma's penis was a bit larger than average, but not outlandishly so. Just at the moment, though, looking straight into its single eye hovering not so very far in front of her face, it looked monstrously huge. Further, it was only too easy to imagine a repeat of this morning's accident in the furo, coating her thoroughly ...

A tremor passed through Kasumi. As if forcing its way through molasses, her arm slowly rose, until her fingers closed around Ranma's hand, stilling it. She stared at her hand on Ranma's, which in turn was wrapped around that iron hard cock. Licking dry lips and clearing her throat, she finally managed to say, “If you don't stop, I'm afraid that you'll make a mess like you made this morning.”

A bit put out that he wouldn't have a chance to do so, the teenage martial artist allowed his eyes to widen and said, “Oh. Oh! I guess that would be a ... bad thing, huh?”

Kasumi smiled, struck again by the girl's, or boy's, innocence. Not wanting their young guest to become upset, she replied, “Not so much bad, as simply messy. Something we'd have to clean up. So let's avoid that, okay?”

Ranma looked down at their hands. “In that case, shouldn't you, uh, let go?”

Hentai Foundry Rule Change

One of my favorite cartoon sites is Hentai Foundry. However, it looks like a few days ago they were forced to succumb to a change in rules, prohibiting posting of "underage" content. So I suppose we won't be seeing any further Ranma 1/2 stuff there, except perhaps Nodoka and Kasumi, since most of the characters are technically underage.

Personally I think this sort of thing is incredibly silly. Anyone who can't tell the difference between a cartoon and a real person is someone who has no business being on a porn site in the first place.

Still Kicking

Several people expressed relief after my last post, to hear that I'm still alive and kicking. So I thought I'd follow up and say (1) yep, I'm still here, (2) there's no indication that will change in the immediate future, but (3) I am reaching the point where "getting up there in years" is an appropriate description, and my health is still in the toilet. Retirement is a few years off yet - not much chance of an early one, more likely a late one :) - so most of what energy I have is devoted to making a living.

I have been finding a little more interest lately in this side of my personality, possibly due in part to a medication change a couple of months back. I've been doing more checking up on hentai cartoons, reading erotica (ok, not to put to fine a point on it, porn), and thinking about scenarios. At the moment I'm writing this I'm in the middle of a few days off from work, and was hoping I might actually get myself to write a little something, but so far the muse has been proving elusive.

I do have a sense of determination to do some more writing. If my health will just hold out, and inspiration will take me in its teeth and shake me.
