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

Horin-ji Temple - Front Gate

Both guards glance at Vincent, eyeing him carefully as he approached. They certainly weren't the same ones as before, but apparently were used to the bounty hunters now scouring the place for rewards.

"Come back in morning to speak with abbott," one of the says in a cold authoritive tone.

Meanwhile, Shen finds a building with a bunch of crates piled on one wall. A little treacherous, but if he could scale it, he could get to the roof. If he feel, he'd be making alot of noise.

A good jump would let him land near the top of the iron fence where he could leverage himself up and over onto the other side. It didn't allow him a good way out from this way. Once inside, he'd have to find a different way out.

OOC: SHEN, VINCENT

Chase stands, and in one smooth suave motion, approaches the table, not hard since they were right next to him, "Dangerous man huh?"

This is sooooo stupid... if you die, I will kill you, wait who am I talking to? Chase smiled, "Don't look so tough to me, hmmph, I can't believe you left me for this clown, babe, this guy is a two-bit hustler, in a cheap suit. Mistress? Whatever, that is a tired old line, come to the table with something strong, mister dangerous man..."

Chase reached down and smacked the glass from Bobcat's hand, "And how many times, I got to tell you, you can't be drinking on my time!"

Shen gave the boxes a check up, trying to see which ones were safe to use and which ones were just waiting to crumble beneath him.

He quickly searched the area and the crates for anything like a rope or something similar to help him with a way out.

When he started to ascend the trecherous pile, he did so slowly. At this point, caution counted more than speed. He hoped that Vincent did his job well enough.

He had no intention of fighting monks. At least, not without a decent weapon or perhaps a contract...

Vincent nods quickly. "Yeah, I talked to him this morning actually. Nice guy. It's really too bad about what happened- even if there wasn't a bounty in this, I'd still be outraged."

Slow down, Vince. Got to give Shen plenty of time...

Vincent draws a breath and continues: "I was actually hoping to talk to some of you guys who were working here last night. Just to see if anything strange had happened, or if someone... I don't know, saw anything weird."

He looks at the guards. "Can you guys think of anything that might help?"

The first crate nearly was the end of Shen's little escapade as his foot slipped, but he caught himself and the crates before all of them went flying around in the alleyway. The extra caution paid off as he made his way infinitely slowly up to the rooftop. No rope though to help him among the crates. Just a nasty jump from rooftop to the fence awaited him next if he so choosed.

Meanwhile the guards were looking at Vincent skeptically. "We saw nothing," one of the said gruffily. "Nobody goes in and out of this place without us seeing them." The other nodded and both watched Vincent, allowing Shen to climb so far unnoticed.

OOC: VINCENT, SHENLO

Bobcat stared up at Chase with feigned horror. Her eyes widened in mock surprise and a demure hand went to her "O" of a mouth. "Chase!" she gasped. "What are you doing here?" Her eyes flitted to Kazuhito for a moment before landing on her shattered glass, lying in a thousand pieces across the dance floor.

"I'm not with you anymore, remember?" her eyes became playful at this moment. It was difficult for her to say this all with a straight face. Her and Chance of all people? Not in this lifetime. But she concentrated on her background in the dramatic arts so that he monk couldn't see her smile. "I'm with Kazuhito now. And dude, you are so going to pay for that drink!"

"No, I am not done with you, till I say we are done, lets go, your coming with me, this isn't the first time, you tried this little stunt, you know you will just come crawling back, so lets save us the trouble!" Chase says, reaching down for Bobcat's hand.

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Vincent smiles. "Yeah, I can see that you've got things pretty well covered. Of course, since Jun was already inside he didn't have to worry about that."

Vincent stops and seems to think for a moment. "Has anyone strange come to temple the last couple of days? Maybe someone he could have been working with, or slipped the scroll to?"

Shen smiled to himself.

"You know, there's probably a better way to cross this without killing myself or making this much noise."

He looked into the gaping maw of potential injury. Then, he backed away carefully.

"But then, it wouldn't be as fun"

Getting a running start, he took the leap.

Kazuhito stood up, the chair shuffling backwards a few steps. Though not nearly as tall as Chase, he was definitely more burly with a mean-looking pug face. His hand clamped over Bobcat's, preventing Chase from reaching her.

"She's moved up in the world from losers like you," the man declared, the snobbish irritation apparent in his voice. 'I suggest you back off into your little corner and nurse the fact that she prefers me."
