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

[Tokiwong]

Bobcat swallowed down as many peppers as she could pick up with her chopsticks before sticking out her tongue at Gil. Gannymede sea rat? That stuff's for squares, man. Not to mention those things are waaay too cute to be eaten. It's just not hip, Meshy. Get with the hip."

The mechanic turned to the others, before scarfing down another wad of peppers and soy sauce. "Besides," she adds with a playful smile, "I like bell peppers!"

"Hmph, that makes one person," Chase quips, "So that makes everyone, been awhile since we all came together, kind of like a family, eh, eating dinner, kind of nice."

 

[Daiymo]

For a moment Gil ponders Bobcats opinion of the sea rat. 'Cute?' He begins to speak but just shrugs.

A family, Chase?" repeats Gil. Slowly the young man walks over barefoot to an observation window."Maybe one very, very tapped out family."

Gil sighs. "Any news on the Web, jefe?" he asks Thalessa. "I'm not a slave to woolongs, but if we can cop a few bounty heads, it means better grub. Man, gotta be some bad guys out there somwhere."

Gil peers out the window. "Like where are we anyway, hepcat?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase grabs the remote and pops on the boob tube, and turns it to Punch and Judy, "Man that chick is hot! I wonder what they got on today, eh?"

Chase settles in and tries to get comfortable, "Though not as hot as you, Captain, your the only slavemaster that sways my heart..."

 

[Krizzel]

Thalessa gave Chase only a glower of churning sea-green eyes before glancing at Gil. "Ten minutes out from Mars. Do any of the rest of you even pay attention?"

With a shake of her head, she turned back towards the viewscreen. They were at their pocket's limits, that was for sure. It didn't really matter much what cheap little bountyhead was going to be offered up today - the crew of BeBop couldn't afford to be choosy. "Now pay attention to this. We can't survive any more screwups." She scowled. "Unless you like eating bulkheads and scrap metal," Thalessa Cyan muttered under her breath.

Big Shot Theme

The screen buzzes for second before the picture snaps on.

On the screen you see two people, one a darker skinned man faking a horrible western accent, the other a big breasted blonde who forgot to wear her shirt (like always) and apparently loosed too much hairspray into her over processed blonde hair.

"Howdy everyone! I'm Punch!"

"And I'm Judy!" Some insanely ditzy giggling echoes over the speakers.

"And today do we have a real big boy for you to wrastle on in," Punch cheerily calls out waving his gun around. "He's a big one alright!"

"Oh yes, a big one!" Judy agrees with yet another giggle as she bounces up and down.

"Meet your bounty of the day, Jun Kuroi!" her partner introduces with typical flourish.

Judy sighs dramatically. "Isn't he a dream?"

"Wanted for stealing the priceless Mitsuhiro scroll from Horin-ji, the famous Zen temple in the historic rebuilt city of New Kamakura on Mars. The reward for Kuroi is 5 million woolongs...and if you recover the scroll intact and return it to the temple, they'll give you 8 million extra!"

"8 million!" Judy nearly swooned.

"That's right," Punch grinned, sticking his hands in his armpits and imitating a cowboy stance. "8 million...."

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase ogled the woman before letting the words sink in, "Whoa that is like 13 million woolongs, man that would be a nice bounty, looks like we need to make a beeline for New Kamakura! And help them monks with their little problem, a real juicy bounty at last!"

Chase stands up and paces, "What do you guys think, I mean, I am all up for it, and like the captain said, bulkheads would not be all that tasty, even with her extra helping of soy..."

13 million woolongs, man, I could live a long time on that kind of cash, course I have to share, but well, it isn't like I am hurting for money, but more money is always nice. Maybe I can finally melt the ice off the Captain, she does look awful nice, in that get-up, there are definitely some perks around here.

 

[Daiymo]

Gil studies the face of the bounty head. "13 million?! And we're ten minutes out of Mars? Crazy, maybe we got a little luck this time."

"Dig me though, does this Jun cat give anyone else the creeps?"

 

[Krizzel]

Thalessa snorted. "He looks like a pansy. Should be easy money." Setting her finished bowl down, she crossed her legs and reclined, resting one arm on the back of the couch. "Thirteen million...that makes two each, and the rest to pay for your rent for the last month. Not to mention all the supplies you've eaten through," she added dryly, kicking the emptied wok with her two for emphasis.

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase continues to pace grinning like a fox, "He looks like a threat, it won't be as easy as dealing with a pansy, Captain, but I think he is in our league, I mean with me on the case, what can go wrong, it isn't like the cat can outrun, the Wildcard..."

Chase glances to the spinning wok, "Of course Captain, of course, though eaten is a relative for some of us, excusing Bobcat."

Vincent sits back from the tube. "Mars, yeah, sounds great."

This probably isn't the best time to mention how I left Mars, Vincent thinks. I'll just keep a low profile. What's the worst that could happen?

"While I'm sure that any one of you could take this guy out through sheer hipness, does anyone have any ideas on tracking him? I think we'd have to do that first."
