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

Horin-ji Temple - Front Gate
New Kamakura City on Mars

"We get visitors from all over the solar system," the guard to the right answered, sounding a bit annoyed at Vincent's continual chattering. But neither of them told him to scram...maybe its just that natural charm..."Everyone is a stranger and should be watched." They eye him pointedly.

While Vincent chatted up the guards, Shen decided to take a leap for his life...literally. For that one moment just before his feet left the rooftop, Shen was sure that he would find himself impaled on the fence. What a way to go....

A sharp pain touched his ankle (DMG:1) when it slammed into part of the metal fence, but he cleared it, grabbing hold to the top with only a slight push needed to get onto the other side. The ankle pained him when he landed on the soft grass, but now he was officially inside the temple area.

If one of the guards found him though or if any of the monks gave an alarm...Shen would be in very...very big trouble as within the temple area...the abbott held absolute control over the guards. absolute...

At the guard's last comment, Vincent grins goofily and scratches the back of his neck. "Yeah... I can see what you mean."

That's it, guys, I'm the suspicious one- keep an eye on me. Nothing else to see here.

After another pause, he says, "So, it was all business as usual then? I mean, sure, almost all the visitors are going to be strangers to you, but no one did anything weird, nothing to get your notice?"

Shen hugged the shadows of the night. He set about looking for Kasuhito's room.

If Kazuhito was the abbot's son and had a habit for luxury, then he knew to search for a room that would suit the greedy vice-abbot's tastes. Taking care to avoid the eyes of the sentinels, Shen made his way through the compound. He avoided pressuring his ankle in his silent strides.

"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."

Chase raises a brow, "Yeah, I doubt you measure up buddy, she is only with you, to spite me. Besides why would she prefer a chump like you, when I can give her all the finer things in life, I mean this place, hardly fitting for my girl, is this the best you can do? And here you are talking about money, whatever..."

Chase flashes his smile, "Just face it, your blowing smoke, your trying to make yourself look like a big man, when your just a little shrimp on viagra, trying to play with the sharks. Step aside little man, this girl is leaving here with me."

Bobcat's eyes moved between the two men; clearly she was struggling with who she should be moving to. "Chase, please! Kazuhito is quite well respected around here, so don't go around causing trouble you can't get yourself out of." She tried to wrench herself free from the monk's grasp momentarily. "Maybe we should just leave, Kazuhito..."

"Yes...," Kazuhito's eyes never looked more beady, more frought with menace than at that moment. This was a man that Chase was sure he would not want to encounter in a dark alley. Not for skill in combat, but more because the man simply could not be trusted in any fashion.

"We're leaving now...and this...filthy scum can go nurse his loss in a foul drink." The monk tightened his grip on Bobcat, ushering her toward the door without pretense of chivalry. "I can show you a better world that what this poor criminal can."

Horin-ji Temple - Abbot's Home
New Kamakura City on Mars

Shen managed to move about the grounds and not get noticed. Lucky for him it seemed most of the monks were either sleeping or performing their nightly mediations before bed. Either way the silence had been filled with the chattering of the various fauna that inhabited these forests. He couldn't remember the last time he heard something like this before, the rest of cities usually made of concrete and all creatures housed in pens.

Finally he saw the towering structure that must the be main home of the abbot and his family. Two guards stood at the front door but there were numerous windows along the side. The structure looked so beautiful in the night, with only a few lamps to highlight it.

The guards continued to look at Vincent askance. Apparantly though they must be bored guarding the temple so they continued to converse with him. At least one of them did, the other began to wander aways a bit for some patrolling.

"As I said. They're all strangers here and they all do strange things." The guard frowned at Vincent. "I would say you would be one of the ones getting noticed. You and the beautiful woman dressed in black who came by earlier asking the same questions."

OOC: VINCENT

 

[Byrons_Ghost]

Inwardly, Vincent smirked. Thank God, I thought I was going to waste an entire conversation on these guys. Maybe they know something after all...

"Beautiful woman in black, huh? Who was she, another bounty hunter?"

"We're leaving now...and this...filthy scum can go nurse his loss in a foul drink." The monk tightened his grip on Bobcat, ushering her toward the door without pretense of chivalry. "I can show you a better world that what this poor criminal can."

OOC: BOBCAT, CHASE

Damn this is not good, Chase smiles, "Whatever, you two have fun, I don't need her anyways," Chase glances to the waitress he was talking to earlier, and gives her a wink, and then watches the two leave, trying to formulate some kind of plan.
