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

I can't believe I'm back on Mars this soon, Vincent thought. Everyone looks like a threat- especially that guy up ahead. Come to think of it, taking off solo with a former Triad assassin probably wasn't too bright either. Good think I brought my gun this time.

Vincent seems quite willing to let Raven stay between him and the stranger. As they get closer, Vincent covertly studies the man, attempting to divine his intentions.

(OOC I'll use Empathy and Sense Motive if we have time)

"Yes, very nice," Kazuhito murmured into her hair, his hands definitely all over the place while they had the chance. Reluctantly he let her go when she pulled back so suddenly, but as he settled her back down, he kept an arm loosely around her.

"Want a drink to start the night off? A round of dancing? Or why don't we just take a walk and I can show you one of my favorite places." His dark eyes gleamed with heightened excitement. It was hard to believe this man was a monk.

Meanwhile, the waitress nodded to Chase about the drink. "Sure thing, honey...," she spoke sounding quite petulant. "But I think the gal can handle herself. Besides, ain't I plenty enough for you to handle already?" She gave him a longing look.

Just as Vincent and Raven passed the man, he spoke, a voice echoing to them both. "Vincent...I see you keep bad company as always."

The shadows still covered his face, the hat not helping at all. But the voice sounded familiar to both Vincent and Raven, neither could place the man though. This close up they could tell he was expensively dressed, but not ostentatiously so. Simple, clean cut clothes that probably cost more woolongs than the entire crew had in their savings.

"Rather brave of you to come back after so long, don't you think?" The man coughed slightly before continuing. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Chase smiled, looking at the waitress with a coy grin, "You know I was just wondering that very thing, the motion in the hips you got going is definitely spellbinding. Like I said, she is an old friend, what we," gesturing to himself and the waitress, "have is something far more," Chase paused searching for the word, "intense."

Chase tapped the table, slowly, "Now don't get upset, the last thing I like to see is a frown on your pretty face," he smiles, "I mean if I am going to take you home later, I want to take you home with a smile."

Vincent stops and watches the stranger carefully. He looks ready to jump at any sign of trouble.

"I guess it all depends on your definition of bravery... who are you, what do you want?"
 

Shen moved aside to give the two the line of sight they needed to speak. While his "partner" spoke to the stranger, he kept on the look out for other suspicious activity around him.

He didn't like the amount of concealing shadows around them. Maybe its just paranoia...

His right hand began to tense nigh uncontrollably.

Maybe it was the dark night, maybe it was the quiet streets with only a murmur of revelry...but the air felt heavy upon them. The moment seemed to stretch out for ages - men had lived and died within the time the three of them stood there beneath the streetlight. The only one working for a couple of blocks all around.

Slowly the hand came up to remove the hat, out tumbled golden locks and piercing brown eyes - the Lam family trait. A sardonic but rather ominous smile touched the man's lips. "Hello brother. Didn't expect to see you back so soon. Thought you knew better than to come back to Mars." His eyes touched on Shen-Lo. "And to keep better company."

The urge to reply nearly overcame Shen but he held his tongue. This was between the brothers, and blood was the thickest. Had it been his own sibling, Shen would not have suffered interference from anyone.

Nevertheless, he kept his eyes sharp.

Family affairs were messy to begin with...
 

Vincent appears to relax... in a way. The fight-or-flight mentality has been replaced with a different kind of tension, one tied up in feelings far more complex than mere survival. Although he does his best to keep his face neutral, the rest of his body hints at conflicting emotions.

"James. I thought... I mean, I wasn't sure what had happened to you. It's good to see that you managed to weather the storm."

Vincent trails off, and is silent for a moment. Then he says, "I suppose you're not too pleased to see me- not here, at least."

James twirled the hat briefly on one finger. "Pleased to see you? Dear brother, those words don't even come close the feelings I have toward you at this very moment." Catching it with the other hand, he crushed it between both fists. "Though I want an explanation for why you're showing your face here. I told you never to come back to Mars, didn't I? And you make your way back here in but a few weeks later."

A slight smirk touched his lips. "If you tell me you came back for Mei, so help me, Vincent, I will shoot you down on the street myself. You have no idea the trouble you've caused me."
