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

[nimisgod]

Shen merely smiled warmly at the complement. Few have ever done so for the old thing, and at least, it gave him comfort to see it in competent hands.

"The idea was merely a proposal. Do with it as you please, everyone." Shen knew that it was best that the "actors" modify the plans to their roles. After all, they were the ones taking the risks.

"Also, I think we are group enough to be able to multi-task. If Bobcat and Williams are going after Kazuhito, then I can aid in the efforts to locate this Junoi person.

Do we have a place to start the search? A last whereabouts of sorts? Or has he simply disappeared into the night?"

Shen turned the situation over and over in his mind but the lack of information was troubling. Just for a moment, he caught himself throwing his entire effort into the investigation.

Feels good to be on the prowl once more

Shen asked for more details concerning the incident... well, at least, a more detailed analysis (beyond Bobcat's concise summary, that is). "What else have you found about this scroll's so-called-thief? What kind of person is he?

Perhaps if we can somehow re-enact the 'crime'..." Shen mused aloud.

Bobcat shrugs noncommitally. "We didn't learn much, dude. Supposedly Jun was raised by the abbott - the vice-abbott's father. He spent all his life in the temple and was apparently quite the looker. They assume he's the one who nabbed the scroll because he's gone missing, but everyone notes it's totally out of character for him. On the other hand, Kazuhito seems jealous of Jun - he's got that whole 'my dad likes you more than he likes me' vibe going on. And is known about town for his own vices... women and drink. I could be wrong dude, but he fits the profile of the thief better and Jun. And like Vinnie says, we know next to nothing about Jun's whereabouts or where to start looking."

Vincent leans back and rubs his head. "That's pretty much it. Jun and scroll disappear in the same night, no one sees anything. There were two guards on the scoll room, they claim no one came in or out that night. But the front door was the only way I could see in, and I think the guards are hiding something. Short of bribing them with money we don't have, I dont' see a way to get the information out of them."

"Although... they may be more prone to talk tonight, when Kazuhito isn't around."

 

[Tokiwong]

Chase shrugs, "well lets do somethin, or I am going to catch some sleep, a driver has to been fresh and wide awake."

Chase leans back and closes his eyes still listening.

"At the very least, we aren't at square one. Theories are good places to start anyway.

When will this operation commence and what part shall I play? Or shall I be part of some other team for infiltratation?" Shen looked for a place to sit amongst the assorted couches of the Bebop.

"Let me get this straight before we all go jump'in around. Bobcat is gonna go meet this Kazu guy. Chase is gonna go piss Kazu off by hitting on Bobcat. And then - what? Who is gonna go back and talk to the guards? You - Vin? And what is Shen gonna do? Go with you?"

Thalessa frowned, folding her arms and glancing around. Is that the plan?"

 

[Tokiwong]

"Sounds like it will be boring..." he sighs, "but seeing as how I play an integral role, I think I am inclined to go along with it, I am just dissapointed I don't get to make my moves on the captain..." he looks to Thalessa, "looks like you could use a little warming up..."

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Vincent sighs. "I'll head back to the temple, I guess. While I'm talking to the guards Shen can go in and look at Kazuhito's room, if he's willing. Then if there's time we can hit some of the bars and see if we can dig up any information on the vice abbot's social life."

"Tomorrow, if Chase's lead plays out, we may have some more information to try and track down Jun. Chase, what do you have set up for tomorrow, anyway?"

 

[Tokiwong]

"Doing a race for a old friend, if I win, I get some info, info that I think will help us bust the case wide open... of course I may need some protection, with the whole getting shot at by thugs to stop me from racing, thing," Chase replied, "It seems like a longshot, but I trust the source."

 

[nimisgod]

"Very well then, I'll go with you, Vincent. I'm not completely confident with my skills in the art of subterfuge though I'll do what I can" Shen sat himself upon one of the sofas. He needed a little relaxing after a night's worth of shadowing.

Just one little mission and I'll be out of this Syndicate-ridden stink hole of a planet
