PinkCat: Running in the Shade “Parties and Pilfering” (A different sort of SR campaign report)

To understand what is going on here, you had best read the first PinkCat: Running in the Shade post, but short summary, this is a campaign report for our Shadowrun campaign set in NorCal through the filter of a cartoon made by one of the team members.

Episode Eleven: Parties and Pilfering

Guest Starring:

• DD, a dancing parrot diva with an ear to the music of the streets.  (Representing BB “beatbox”, an elf music and dancing adept.  Played by L.)
• Ichi-kun, Japanese bear in a three-piece suit.  (Representing Adam, an ork from a Yakuza family trying to prove his worth to his family.  Played by C1.)

The group is invited to a pool party, which they have to get ready for by buying new clothes, cue humorous montage of outfits with Ichi-kun ending up in tartan kilt, Hawaiian shirt and tricorn hat much to his unhappiness.  The party has a Moonshadow cover band (the “Lunar Dudes”) playing music and general party vibe.  However, the neighbor hates the noise (and people having fun) so traditional cartoon craziness of him trying to ruin the party (freeze rays, catapult full of sand, and other absurd cartoony things) and Pink and company stopping him and keeping people from getting hurt.  Finally Pink convinces the band to play some ‘classic rock’ (Mercurial, Jack Entropy, Gossamer) and convinces the neighbor to join the party.  Peace is declared, everyone has a good time and congas out of the cartoon.
