A Headhunter's Ball? (future-ish RP)

19-11-2003, 15:26
It was the big event of the year in Xexo.

People from all over the universe had come to Navy Grouse's Annual Winter Ball. He was a multibillionaire thanks to his business in weapons-making. However, it was also rumored some of his money was "under-the-table"...he was also known for being headmaster of a powerful weapons smuggling ring.

And for all he was worth, he was one of the biggest bounties in all of Xexo at over +C90,000,000. $9mil USD. But no one had been able to kill him in the past few months, primarily because of his ability to find out what was going to happen to him and stop it before it could start.

He would not be so lucky this time.

Bounty hunters from several nations were also in attendance that day, ready to jump at just the right moment and make themselves filthy stinking rich.

So...who wants this opportunity?

Navy Grouse was surrounded by some friendly partygoers, talking about how his ownership of Hollist Rifles, Inc. has made him famous. But his stories were interrupted when one of his bodyguards came up to him.

"Sir, we have reports that there are bounty huters in attendance tonight. You may be in danger."

Grouse just smirked. "Let them come. But stay on alert. They won't kill me. I'm invulnerable. Call the Elite Upgrade and tell him to come down here...informally invite him." He smiled.

"Yes, sir."
