Sleeping with the Girls: Difference between revisions

The fanfiction.net version of the second volume can be found [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6052381/1/Sleeping_With_The_Girls_Vol_II_Chaos_Theory here.] It has not been updated since June 2010.

A possible [[Visual Novel]] is beingwas discussed in February 2012 - February 2013 [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=215162 here.] Currently looking for two background artists and two character artists who already enjoy the story.

-----

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: The guy is randomly teleported into girls' beds whenever he falls asleep.

{{quote| "What? NO FAIR! I HIT HIM! I HIT HIM!"}}

** It has been noted, however, that while he's immune to the magic itself, he can still be killed by mundane-physics secondary effects, like superheated air, fast-moving tangible projectiles, enhanced physical strength, rubble, etc.

** Also, while HE''he'' is immune to magic, the armored suit that Washu gives him is not. And since it links directly into his nervous system... well, he can now be hurt by magic, but the effects are lessened.

{{quote| SI: SENBEI! HIT HIM, NOW!}}

* [[Bait and Switch]]: This conversation between the SI and Urd .<ref>first arc</ref>.

{{quote| '''[[Ah! My Goddess|Urd]]''': Why would (my mother) keep you a secret from ME?<br />

'''SI''': I don't know, why don't you GO TO HELL-<br />

'''Urd''': EXCUSE ME?<br />

* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: Partially; both the SI and the audience know that he's ended up in some girl's bed each time he jumps, but ''whose'' bed has made for points of suspense. The girls are, in order and spoilered for your convenience:

## {{spoiler|[[Tenchi Muyo!|Aeka Masaki Jurai]]}}

## {{spoiler|[[Love Hina|Motoko Aoyama]]}}

## {{spoiler|[[Those Who Hunt Elves|Ritsuko Inoue]]}}

## {{spoiler|[[Sailor Moon|Rei Hino]]}}

## {{spoiler|[[Ranma ½|Shampoo]]}}

## {{spoiler|[[Ah! My Goddess|Marller]]}}

## Confirmed to be {{spoiler|[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Asuka Langley Sohryu]]}} on the Spacebattles forums.

## {{spoiler|[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Quattro]]}}

{{quote| '''S.I.:''' "There are monsters on the prowl, and I don't want my head smashed in like a watermelon."}}

{{quote| '''S.I.''': "'Fuck' is a unique word in Drilleese. It is used, often several times in a sentence, as a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, and possibly even as a conjunction. All at the same time…"}}

{{quote| '''S.I.:''' It's a ''magical healing ray.'' Somehow, I don't think it will hurt him.}}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: [[Love Hina|Motoko]] becomes a friend of the SI right at the end of his time at the Hinata House .<ref> At the end of the second ''[[Love Hina]]'' arc.</ref>. This qualifies because when he first showed up, Motoko violently attacked him, and he defeated her.

* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]]: In the second volume, Washu provides the SI with specialty shotgun rounds in addition to standard ones; The Yellowjacket rounds (sabot razor darts), Backlash (essentially a ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' Bolter round), and the Goodfellow (has a tiny string of [[Stuff Blowing Up|antimatter]] contained within).

** He also calls Mokoto's tanto [[The Lord of the Rings|"Sting."]]

{{quote| "That thing killed a Dark General. Imagine what it could do to '''you.'''"}}

* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Part of the SI's charm is that, due to his [[Genre Savvy|Genre Savvyness]]ness, he can think outside the box and come up with nifty ideas that, while the other characters would probably never think of them, still fit perfectly within the various [[Magic A Is Magic A|rules of magic.]] For a good example, see the "Facepalm," entry above.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The SI actually hangs enough lampshades to fill a decent sized warehouse, particularly when discussing narrative conventions with Washu and Tokimi -- immediatelyTokimi—immediately followed by an [[Accidental Pervert]] moment with Washu, which he pretty much [[Accidental Innuendo|walks her through]]. And [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary|he refers to tropes by name]] in his inner monologue.

* [[Laser Blade]]: The magical beam sword that the SI picks up in the first ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]]'' arc, then subsequently gives to Mokoto in the second ''[[Love Hina]]'' arc counts as one.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: In many of the worlds he ends up in, the ''only'' way the SI could survive was through liberal use of [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|dirty fighting tricks]], [[Flaw Exploitation]], and even a literal [[Deal with the Devil]] in one world.<ref> ''[[Ah! My Goddess]],'' first arc</ref>.

{{quote| GOD DAMMIT I'VE FUCKING KILLED THEM! GOOD GOING ME! I AM BECOME MIKE NELSON! DESTROYER OF WORLDS!}}

* [[More Dakka]]: As of Volume II, thanks to Washu giving the SI [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Bolter Rounds]] and antimatter bullets to the SI.

* [[The Multiverse]]: The SI has no control over where he ends up. Interestingly, not even ''Washuu'' knows how it's being done.<ref>Chapter 12 of Volume 2 revealed that Washuu ''could'' find out what's going on if she adopted one of her reality-breaking forms, but won't because that would negate the challenge and thus, in her mind, the fun.</ref>

##:# ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''

##:# ''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]]''

##:# ''[[Sailor Moon]]''

** Furthermore, during the ''Ranma 1/2½'' step in the first loop, he followed [[Tenchi Muyo!|Mitoto Kuramitsu]] around and ended up in his own home in the "real" world (out of sequence).

** And, while no one can dispute that {{spoiler|putting down a being of pure evil like Zoicite}} is a ''good'' move, it causes the Dark Kingdom to up their timetable considerably, and serves to provoke his/her lover, Kunzite. In the second ''Sailor Moon'' Arc, the SI then proceeds to unintentionally prepare Kunzite to fight, not the [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Scouts/Senshi,]] but the far more dangerous and worrisome foe of ''[[Star Wars|Jedi Knights,]]'' who the SI has built up to [[Super Soldier]] levels in his descriptions. So when Kunzite shows up to fight the Senshi, he isn't ''underestimating'' them ,<ref>Which played a significant role in how they managed to kill him in canon</ref>, he is heavily ''overestimating'' them, and comes loaded to bear for their battle.

*** Motoko's knife (nicknamed "[[The Lord of the Rings|Sting]]," by the SI) was super effective against "Grumps," in the first ''Sailor Moon'' Arc.

*** The SI's anti-magic makes him able to survive and beat opponents who rely on magic, such as {{spoiler|[[Sailor Moon|Zoicite]], elves, and some of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|the Numbers' attacks]].}}

** It didn't help that the SI ''really'' built up the foes that they believed they were going to be fighting, so they stopped underestimating their foes.<ref> The Dark Kingdom thinks that instead of just the Sailor Senshi, they are now also fighting [[Star Wars|Jedi,]] and all that that entails.</ref>.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: When he realizes just how much damage his knowledge could cause in the hands of [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Jail Scaglietti]], the SI instantly clams up and feigns ignorance regarding the world. Fortunately, Luna follows his lead, while Senbei doesn't have a clue what's going on ''anyway''.

** In a more humorous example, [[Sailor Moon|Rei's grandfather]] rapidly shifts his reaction to the SI's appearance from "Get Out Of My House and Away From My Granddaughter" to this once he realizes that the SI is about to start vomiting.<ref> Second ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' arc, volume II, chapter 17</ref>.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: The Author put a scene in Volume I, Chapter 15 of the SI accessing the [[Space BattlesSpacebattles.com]] [http://forums.spacebattles.com forums] to talk about his adventures, and asked real forum-goers to contribute to the resulting scene.

{{quote| "...Why does this sound like one of those Role Play threads where you wake up in bed with a girl from fiction?"}}

* [[Pervert Revenge Mode]]: A ''physical law'' in the worlds that the SI ends up in. And since the SI frequently ends up in the beds of [[Tsundere|Tsunderes]]s and doesn't have the kind of protection that normal anime males do from [[Megaton Punch|Megaton Punches]]es...well, it gets crazy.

{{quote| '''SI''': 'Oh FUCK NO!' "You don't seriously think I was trying to-" I began. "No. NO! Do NOT lump me into the same category as that kind of pond scum!"}}

* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: The SI's power suit can give him increased strength, but not the extra resilience required to use that strength. And the nanomachines Washu gave him may speed up his body's healing process, but it kicks his metabolism into overdrive, burning through loads of energy, nutrients, and water. Plus, at the rate the SI is being injured, those nanomachines can't keep up with filtering out the extra toxins in his bloodstream, leading to a near kidney failure in the second ''[[Ranma ½]]'' arc. His reaction to learning this is [[Oh Crap|not a pleasant one.]]

{{quote| '''SI''': Dammit, don't read my mind! It's rude!}}

** Multiple shout outs to [[Warhammer 4000040,000]].

*** A particularly interesting case of a shout out, because the story takes place sometime of March of 2010, months before the show she's referencing came out. Also one of the very few times that the shout out was accidental, as most of them are deliberately invoked by the [[Genre Savvy]] SI.

{{quote| '''Junpei''': So this animal's crap is worth a crap-load of money?}}

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The SI is ''trying'' to do this...

{{quote| '''Washu:''' If you need more than three, you have bigger problems.}}

* [[This Is Sparta]]: When explaining an elf her chances to revenge on Those Who Hunt Elves.<ref>''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]],'' second arc</ref>.

{{quote| '''SI:''' Let me make this absolutely clear. YOU. CANNOT. WIN.}}

{{quote| '''Luna''': This is surreal. I can see myself panicking, but the way this episode is cut, it's ''obvious'' that Rhett Butler has the final crystal piece.<br />

** Kitsune, in the second ''Love Hina'' arc, expresses a desire to try this, knowing what she now knows about the [[Rule of Funny]]. The SI says that ''he'' knew things about each and every one of the girls that Kitsune does not, details about their lives she doesn't, has [[Medium Awareness]], and he's [[Genre Savvy]], which Kitsune has only recently become... ''and he still failed.'' He invites her to try, as long as he gets to watch from somewhere safe, like orbit, or the moon.
