Synopsis:
----------

Starring:

Himura Kenshin: A sword-carrying assassin from the revolution which
preceded the Menji Era, a calm, cough cookie who's only 15 years old.

Yoda: A 900 year old Jedi master. Short. Green. Long ears and a fitting
attitude. Wise but likes to play jokes and talks funny too. Occasionally
known to float.

Kerberos: Better known as "Kero-chan." A small plushie that can fly and
do various magic tricks. A video game addict with an Osaka accent.

Tomoyo: Small, cute, 10 years old. Wields a video camera and lugs around
a level head... or is it the other way around? Her primary ability is
that no one suspects she's a master of Aikido.

Yuka Takeuchi: Waitress for a restaraunt. Can't remember which. Also a
super-tough fighter in love with her best friend.

Sasami: Mecha driver in the greater Tokyo area. Blue hair and freckles.
Cute but dangerous and more than willing to cause a little collateral
damage to insure her fare's safe passage.

Shinji Ikari: Occasional police officer. Eighteen years old. New to the
force and a bit of a waif, but a straight arrow. Could come to be feared
by the local gangs with a little experience.

Scenes:
----------

1. Restaraunt. Couriers (Kenshin, Yoda, Kero, Tomoyo) are having a
   boring breakfast. Discussion today is on the band Meatloaf, or more
   accurately, their band name: 'Meafloaf.' Yuka offers some pie and only
   Tomoyo orders some. Kenshin refueses to tip the waitress before they
   leave. Yoda tries to persuade him. Tomoyo joins in and Kero gets a
   'here we go again' look on his face.

2. Walking intro scene is brief, and here on the sidewalk, we have
   another short debate. This time we talk about the 'bad' ending vs.
   the 'good' ending.

3. Fade in a small pawn shop with various magical implements about. The
   suitcase is collected from the proprietor. A foreshadowing is played
   out on the story ending discussion here.

4.
