Horuka’s Neighborhood Bar
New Kamakura City on Mars

Chase's attempts to contact Gil had been useless. He could not seem to find his friend anywhere... but he stood there in the doorway of the bar and Gil was still no where in sight.

Anna stood there, beaming and smiling in a sweet frock that showed off her youthful legs. It looked like she took extra special care tonight with her appearance, plenty of makeup and an elaborate hairstyle.

Her father stood behind the bar, glaring at Chase - not too pleased about any man about to take her off into the Kamakura evening.

The three old men were still there, but this time the beer had been augmented with chips and a card game that looked like it was going where fast.

Over in the corner though, a new arrival sat over in a booth. Tall, striking, with something about her that seemed reminscent to Thalessa. Perhaps the cold gleam in those dark eyes, or the graceful ease with which she surveyed the room periodically while sipping her drink. The aura of danger permeated every pore of her lustrous skin.

Glancing around, the old woman leaned closer. "Well...you didn't hear it from me, but I heard the vice abbot as a woman on the side and someone the abbot doesn't approve of at all. And the local bars here know the vice abbot pretty well I hear."

Very calm eyes rested on Vincent and for a moment he felt as if peace and tranquility suddenly descended upon Mars and enlightenment was only one breath away. Then the abbot spoke, his voice smooth and reassuring, very different from the man who had been yelling and slapping people earlier.

"Yes? Who are you?" he asked politely with some curiousity in those eyes.

OOC: VINCENT

Chase whistled, looking Anna up and down, "Oh man, whew... I just stole me an angel from Heaven... you look great," he gives her one of his patented smiles.

Chase takes her arm and leans in with a whisper, "In more precise terms, you look stunning..." he glances to her father and then to the women, "I don't recognize some of these faces... who is the woman... she looks dangerous... in my line of work I like to stay abreast of the people around me."

Why do I get the feeling, she is connected to this Junoi character... just my gut feeling.

Vincent bows and presents a business card. "My name is Vincent Lam, and I'm with a bounty hunter crew on the ship Bebop. We're attempting to pick up the trail of Junoi and your stolen scroll. It might be easiest if you could just start at the beginning- what were the circumstances of the theft, for example?"

After a round of blushing, primping, and adoring smiles at Chase's compliments, Anna glanced over at the woman. "Oh, she's the one I was telling you about. The one who was asking about the Jun Kuroi guy."

The abbot folded his arms, tucking them in the wide sleeves as he regarded Vincent thoughtfully. After a moment, he motioned for the other petitioners to disperse and then for Vincent to follow him as he walked.

"You wish to undertake the responsiblity of bringing the scroll back to the temple? It is a great treasure of the people. I am only afraid that Jun has taken it only to sell it to the highest antiquities bidder. Tell me, do you know the history of Mitsuhiro and his scroll?"

"Thanks babe," Chase looks to the woman, gives her wink, hoping she sees it, and wonders, and then leads Anna outside, "so shall we get some dinner? I know a great place, back when I used to race on the circuit," though while he talks he keeps an eye out.

Chase pauses and turns to Anna, "Or maybe you got a suggestion of something you would like to do?"

Vincent follows the abbot and shakes his head. "We came straight here, I didn't have much time to find anything out before hand. Not usually the way I like to do things, but that's how it played out. Can you tell me the scroll's history?"

Horin-ji Temple - Temple Gardens
New Kamakura City on Mars

"Early seventeenth century...the Momoyama period," the abott spoke as he moved through the tranquil gardens. All around them Vincent could see monks in the daily tasks, perfecting the beauty of the Zen garden.

"Karasumaru Mitsuhiro was born an aristocrat but lived as a diplomat and poet. Very few artworks survive from the period...even fewer after the Gate Incident." The air hung for a moment with the fragrance of Jasmine. "What we bring from Japan to Mars is all that is left of our heritage. That scroll is a priceless treasure that belongs to the people - a treasure of our past."

He stared into the sunset. "We have so few memories of our past especially in these times. We forget who we have been and look at the present - at momentary satisfaction. Perhaps you know something of that...you who run from your past?"
