Chapter 2: Explanations and Laws.
After settling the monster girls in her house Setsuna returned to the gates
As Setsuna was about to check the current situation, and start the adoption process, a thought struck her. How did this happen? She changed the target of her viewing to the point that Serenity started the spell to send them into the future. She watched, horrified as Serenity sneezed during the spell.
As she attempted to track the star seeds, of Hotaru and Ami through the time stream, she noticed that they, along with the possibility of a third, were diverted from what she considered the proper course of destiny in a major way, although the third looked almost correct, although she knew it wasn't. The star seeds, apparently attracted to a high level of magic, went to where a mage, who tended to dabble in various types of magic, was attempting a new necromantic spell. Ami's star seed merged with a completed golem blank causing runes to be permanently etched into its shoulder guards, and its features to be modified.
Hotaru's seed passed through the bones as the spell was completed. The spell was not your normal necromantic spell. No, it was designed to make an undead skeleton different from the normal kind. Many differences were intended, and shockingly they almost all worked.
The first change was in appearance; instead of a mass of bone, it made a fairly cute composite of a type of 'flesh' and bone. He wanted a servant that looked better than a normal skeleton minion. Since most people tended to not give him the time of day, he felt a more human looking servant would alleviate his boredom.
The second change was to give it an actual personality, this was a technical success, but instead of it having an imprint of the original owner of the bones, it had Hotaru's personality. The purpose of this was almost identical to that of his appearance modification. He wanted to have someone to talk to, that would be able to have its own opinions, so as to have someone to converse with.
Third is that he wanted a girl to be with, in all ways. He never found out whether he succeeded in that effect.
Lastly he wanted obedience; he never knew if he failed in that respect, because a backlash of energy from combining two different magics, disintegrated him. Whether the obedience failed because of Hotaru's star seed or the spell itself failing in that regard is unknown.
Setsuna sighed at the site of the universe going *TILT* on her. Unfortunately, she realized that her goal, the goal she had in mind that caused this mess, was at this point, unattainable. The most she could hope for, was to get something close.
She needed to know something, something that had her curious, and would affect how the three senshi that are attached to Ranma needs to be treated. She needed to know the current attitude, and laws in regards to monsters.
To her relief she found out that the senshi were classified as 'Monster Girls,' and that they are fairly well accepted, well with the exception of 'monster girl free zones' which included Nerima, but not Juuban. There were laws specific to monster girls, but those laws are more because of the special nature of the subjects than anything else. These laws were surprisingly few.
Monster Girl Special Laws
Law 1: Monster girls are not allowed to live in certain designated areas.
Law 2: A monster girl may take certain punishments for crimes, for lesser crimes at least, into their own hands. This however will negate any punishment the law would provide, even if the punishment the law would demand is greater than the monster girls punishment.
Law 2A: Punishment cannot last more than a week
Law 2B: Nothing permanent can be done.
Law 2D: If there is a child created as a result of their 'punishment' then said child cannot be used as leverage for child support or marriage.
Law 3: All Laws apply to monster girls, and they have full protection under the law.
Law 4: Converting a Human female into a monster girl, against their will, is punishable by death.
Law 4A: the willingness of the Human may be proved by a written, notarized document.
Law 5: A monster girl found raping a man, or woman, is subject to a penalty not to exceed three times the penalty of a human raping a man or woman.
Law 6: A Monster girl racial tradition is nor a valid cause for forcing a marriage.
Law 7: Monster girls cannot marry, the can however become a 'Legal Mistress' to allow all the children to be legitimate. This law is due to the low chance for male births with monster girls.
Law 7A: Legally, a 'Legal Mistress' has the same rights for taxes as a wife.
Law 8: A woman whom becomes a monster girl must spend three months among the same type of monster girl. This is to allow the new monster girl's instincts, hormones, and body to settle in a relatively safe environment.
Law 9: Monster girls will have a representative in the government to help with issues that may arise.
Law 10: Monster girls going into the police force are to be fast tracked through the initial qualifiers, as their superior physical abilities are a boon.
Setsuna sighed in relief at the short list of special laws. It was far better than she had thought it would be, although she was still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
To make sure that their wouldn't be any problems, she pushed the gates to their current limit, and looked closer at when Ranma was cursed. It was at that time, she noticed something strange. Ranma looked... different, when he first came out of the pool than he did now with his curse activated. Due to the chaos surrounding that place she couldn't get a clear view, so she chalked it up to her imagination.
Shaking her head, Setsuna put her adoption plan into action.
