Oh, no, this was a new one; I'd forgotten about that.
The setup is: Doug has an effect for the song "Take On Me" by A-ha. Those who saw the video for this song will always remember the amazing animated/rotoscoped "inside a comic book" look. Well, the power is inspired by the video: Doug can use a comic book or manga as a teleport gate -- by entering the book in one location, running through the setting inside it, and exiting at a different location through another copy of the manga.
The silly, fun idea was.. well, here're my actual notes from the Sailor Moon file:
Somewhere the senshi need to contact Usagi and get her deployed as Sailor Moon immediately. But she's not responding to phone calls or communicators. She's known to be home. Doug uses A-Ha's "Take on Me" to go through one of Rei's manga to an identical issue that Usagi owns. Doug's carrying a "Usagi wake-up kit" assmebled by Rei andMinako? Air horn, food, stuff like that?(The guy with the wrench was there, as usual. I kicked him in the head and knocked him out. As usual.)Doug dashes through the middle of a scene from Ranma 1/2, disrupting a fight in progress, and dives into the window of Ucchan's, which turns paper-white and ripples as he does so.Doug ends up in Usagi's bedroom with manga on his helmet like a hat. He carefully takes it down, marks the page with a finger or something, and shakes Usagi awake. He ends up barking at her to wake her, which gets the attention of Shingo down the hall. (Alternately, Doug's use of the "Usagi wake-up kit" alerts him.)Shingo comes up to the door of Usagi's BR just in time to see her transform to Sailor Moon and then dive into the manga with Doug. Stunned, he picks up the manga and watches them run from frame to frame.Inside the manga, Doug and Usagi emerge from Ucchan's front window. Before they can start running, Usagi recognizes the characters and squeals their names. She throws a Moon Healing Escalation at Ranma and Ryoga and says, "there, your curses are gone". Then she runs over to a stunned Akane and Ranma, puts their hands in each other's, and says, "He loves you, She loves you." Then turns to Ryoga and waves a finger sternly at him."And you can't sleep in her bed anymore." (turns to Akane) "Hewas P-chan, you see."All through this, Doug is trying to get her to move, and finally bellows "Move it, Sailor!" in his best drill sergeant voice. Usagi eeps, and runs with him down the street to jump into another window.Akane stares after them. "That was Sailor Moon... and Looney Toons..."Doug and Usagi pop back out of Rei's manga just in time.
Yeah, like I said, silly. But it might be fun to do.
