Popful Mail: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

It stars a charmingly inept elven bounty hunter named Popful Mail (think [[Slayers|Lina Inverse]] with [[Pointy Ears]]), who's spent much of her adventuring life chasing after the notorious criminal Nuts Cracker. She manages to corner him, but is only able to retrieve Nuts' head (as his body runs away from her during their melee), which is practically worthless. Frustrated, she takes her trophy and wanders toward a town, where she learns of an even better bounty - 2,000,000 gold for the capture of an evil old wizard named Muttonhead.
