[d20 Modern] Session One: Funky Martian Monks (CowBoy BeBop)

Brass Monkey Balls Bar
New Kamakura City on Mars


The woman spoke with the bartender, but he was close enough only to hear a few snippets. She was asking him about someone...a white-haired man...strong.

Head to toe, she looked like a walking felony. Black leather in all the right places with long raven hair pulled away from her face and running down her back in a wave of ebony. The gun strapped on her thigh indicated that perhaps she wasn't an ordinary bar girl.

Then a sound echoing outside caught Raven's attention, caught everyone's attention...bullet's riocheting off walls. Automatically everyone ducked but the woman rested one hand on her gun, staring toward the door tensely.

"Damn...too close!" Gil called out as they ducked another shot and stumbled out of the alleyway and into a semi-busy street filled with people just starting to get pretty smashed with drink.

Nearby you see a sign advertising a bar. "Brass Monkey Balls? I think maybe that's what we'd be needing," Gil joked though not too far from the truth considering where the bullet could have hit him.

OOC: CHASE
 

Chase nods... "Yeah, I agree!" he dives in the bar, and then makes a scene, with a flourish, regaining some of his composure before moving taking in the scene...

"Uhh... yeah... are you sure you want to stay here Gil?" Chase looks dubious... then glances outside.

His stream of thought was interrupted by the sound of danger. His body automatically tensed up.

Are they here for me already?

Perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps it was the exhaustion but Shen was tired of running. His hand slowly inched for his weapon beneath the long coat.

Raven never really made it into the more prestigious katana bearing ranks of the yakuza. But he was almost there in skill if not in spirit.

Kono! I'm done with this. If they come for me now, they won't get me without a fight!

He kept his eyes straight on the doorway, watching and waiting for his pursuers.

Are They going to come in guns blazing? Or are They going to melt into the crowd and knife me?

Wait a minute! I would think that They wouldn't give me warning if they wanted to kill me. No, this is someone else's problem... but...


Shen relaxed his hands but he kept his senses sharp. Anything that threatened his safety was certainly going to get some. And that wasn't the alcohol speaking either.
 

Determined to leave the temple and round up the rest, she begins to tug Vincent towards the doors, the beaming grin never leaving her face.

Vincent takes her arm and smiles back. "Sure dear, we're all set. Let's hit the town, huh?"

As they start to go, he leans in and whispers, "Play along here- I'm trying to irritate Kazuhito..."

"What the?!" the bartender shouted out, reaching for his gun as Gil and Chase burst into the bar. His keen eyes took in the two intruders, noting that neither seem to have a weapon out so he relaxed...only slightly.

The woman at the bar slid her foot backwards, a flash of recognition in her eyes at Chase and Gil. Though whatever contemplations she may have had was quickly thrown away as Gil slammed the door shut behind him.

While he and Chase stood there, the entire bar staring at them, they could hear foosteps and heaving breathing from outside.

"Where did they go?" one of the two thugs called out in annoyance.

OOC: RAVEN, CHASE

Chase winks at the lady, "Haven't we met before?" he says with a grin, "Cause if not we should have..." he walks forward, seeming as if he fogot he was in dire danger, "I don't think we have, I know I would not forget your pretty face."

Chase flashes his trademark grin.

Shen spied the two newcomers with a mix of curiousity and suspicion but did not say a word. Their assailants were still out there and with guns, so they could burst in any minute, guns blazing.

He did not his guard down.

Who are these guys anyway?

Bobcat arched an elegant black eyebrow. "Whatever for?" she whispered back innocently, but behind the red-tinted sunglasses her eyes twinkled playfully. Louder, she said, "Where're we headed, hombre? There's a lot of town to hit, y'know?"

The both of them could feel more than one pair of eyes burning into their backs as they leave, one one pair felt even stronger. A glance back had Vincent staring right into the eyes of Kazuhito. The vice-abott gives him a slow but not remotely pleasent smile.

Soon they were outside again in the fresh air and realized that evening had set in unawares. They had spent more time at the temple than they realized. Standing not to far away was Thalessa against the wall and looking very bored if not angry. Every once in a while she was casting furious glances at the guard closest to her.

OOC: VINCENT, BOBCAT, THALESSA
