Felix Delgato and Uyeda looked into the mystery of Yoshi the missing Ninja Master and also the robberies of local convienance stores.

They discovered that the culprits were four young mutants calling themselves The Terror Bears in a parody of the cartoon bears with pictures on their tummies. After a fight at the Terror Bears hide out, Felix and Uyeda captured the young bears and rescued Yoshi.

The terror bears revealed that they had escaped from some sort of lab where they were being kept by bad people. Uyeda had himself escaped from a similar situation and with food and kindness did his best to make friends with the bears. He also offered to help them get revenge against these bad humans.

Rain of Bullets

Game System
Feng Shui
Pitch

[Close-up shot of a small puddle on pavement at night, rain drops falling in, creating widening circles of ripples. Reflections of passing car lights shimmer in. Soft, ominous cello music.]

Announcer: "In a city that believes itself safe...

[Panning out a bit from the puddle. One darker blood drop falls in, soon followed by more, breaking the rhythm of the rain drops and staining the puddle.]

Announcer: "... A brutal killer stalks..."

[Shot of a couple of police cars parked haphazardly near a dock crane along a pier. Gray morning light, dark roiling cloud masses, wet shimmer of recent rain on everything. Music switched to more electronic, rhythmic theme.]

Cop #1, calling out: "Ah shit! I got a hand here! "

Cop #2, muttering in his to-go coffee cup: "Fuck, I don't get paid near enough for this..."

Cop #3, to Detective Romero: "That's most of the body, then. I think we're still missing a hand and one leg below the knee. Homeless guy, looks like."

Romero, eyes narrowed: "Uh-huh..."

Announcer: "... In his wake he brings war..."

[Shot of two very expensively dressed businessmen, smoking in the entrance of an Art Deco building. Sergei is older, with a greying mustache, and smoking a cigar; Dmitri is younger, dark hair slicked back, and smokes a cigarette; both wear shiny Rolex watches and gold cufflinks.]

Sergei, with strong Russian accent: "Are you sure about this?"

Dmitri, quietly, with much lighter accent: "Yes, sir."

Sergei throws cigar stub to the wet ground and stomps angrily on it. "Is that piska coming to kill me? Ni khuja!"

Announcer: "... Cop against criminal..."

[Shot of Romero aiming at a fleeing suspect. Music picks up a suspenseful beat.]

Romero: "Freeze, asshole!"

Annoucer: "... Have against have-nots..."

[Shot of Jaysdee, a large black man, swinging a pipe length against another expensively dressed man whose shot with a Makharov PMM pistol goes wide.]

Jaydee: "You motherfucker, you gonna pay for what you did to Buzz!"

Announcer: "... Yakuza against Mafiya..."

[Shot of Takamura Kane doing an impossibly nimble sidestep as two men dressed in black suits reach for him, then dealing one of them a lightning-quick chop to the neck.]

Takamura: "Can't we be reasonable about this?"

Announcer: "... Old against young..."

[Shot of 12-year old Terry Yin deftly avoiding a backslap from aging grandfather.]

Terry: "But grampa! You can't just let them take your shop!"

Announcer: "...Brother against sister..."

[Shot of Tatjana and Sergei facing off, leveling pistols at one another. Music comes to a crashing halt.]

Sergei: "You're either with me or dead, shalava!!"

Announcer: "... and master against puppet."

[Shot from a high-rise window looking down upon the city at twilight; the skyline is recognizable as Seattle's. A large red fire is glowing near the waterfront, and the lights from emergency vehicles are flashing artound its perimeter.]

Low voice from off-camera, not clearly recognizable as male or female: "And you say you have this under control."

Female voice from off-camera: "Yes. All the loose ends will be tied."

[Return to the puddle shot. As the camera pans out, the circular ripples are expanding.]

Announcer: "... As wheels move within wheels, conspiracies within conspiracies..."

[Quick shot of Takamura wheeling around to see half a dozen thugs behind him.]

Announcer: "...This Christmas..."

[Shot of Terry pursued by a thug snatching the bell from a Salvation Army volunteer, and whipping it around to hit the thug.]

Announcer: "...Seattle is definitely sleepless."

[Shot of the Pike Place Market, with Jaydee sending a shop counter and its content of vegetables flying.]

[Pounding, X-treme music]

[Quick action shot of Terry throwing a large soda in a thug's face]
[Quick action shot of Romero running, jumping on a car, running over its hood and continuing his pursuit]
[Quick action shot of Tatjana doing a mad side-jump to avoid a hail of bullets and sliding across a wet floor as she pumps two H&K MP5 K's worth of retaliation]
[Quick action shot of Grampa doing a Flying Windmill Kick and sending a thug reeling against a brick wall]
[Quick action shot of Takamura back-handing an athletic-looking woman with a blow that looks like it should break her neck.]

[Music and action stop.]

[Low shot of a man in his thirties with close-cropped beard, looking down into the camera with a tight grin; behind him, dark gray sky and rain.]

Man: "Are you ready to help us?"

[Screen blackout.]

Call of Cthulhu
Pitch
Arkham, MA, 2004 - The recent disappearance of the young couple, Ken and Mary Derby has been the subject of investigation for the Arkham police since they vanished mysteriously from their home in early October. The police had suspected Ken's elderly father, Matthew Derby, who had been living with the two for some years. Now, nearly a month after the disappearances, Matthew Derby has taken his own life by a gunshot to the head. Police officials are looking to interpret this as Matthew's confession of guilt, but what was he guilty of? No bodies have been found and no motive has been established... Was Matthew the culprit?

Our heroes and heroines all boarded the Maiden voyage of The Orient Express because they had heard rumors that Clyde Whitfield would be aboard. They each had a reason to hate him and possibly wish him dead. Someone managed to slip arsenic in his food. The passengers realized that if they didn't find out who the murderer was by the time they reached the Prussian boarder, they were likely to all be held for quite some time.

Unfortunately they never did discover who did the deed, but after Gunter blew up the train's engine before they reached the border at least they didn't have to worry about being arrested by the Prussian authorities. They just had to worry about surviving in the middle of nowhere.

Rune Soldier: Child's Play

Game System
Big Eyes, Small Mouth
Pitch
I'll be running a game using the Big Eyes, Small Mouth system set in Seattle. It's a mood piece full of strange villains and stranger heroes built on the kind of twisted perception of reality you'd find in Moorcock's multiverse work. So, if you're into playing that sort of odd stuff, it should be tight.
