Jazz, Monster Collector in: Back To Work (season 1, episode 7)

Still suffering the wounds of torture and torment set upon her by the paws of Boss Geeter, Jazz finds herself face to face with an oncoming train and she’s got nowhere to go but squished. Still, as the seconds toward her imminent death tick by, she finds the time to wonder where she is, how anyone would find her, why a big time crime lord would be interested in her, who the devil is hitting all the deferred species (monsters), and when the heck will her secretary stop bothering her about getting paid.

Maybe getting hit by a train isn’t so bad after all.

Jazz, Monster Collector, Season One: Earth’s Lament:

Jazz is a deferred species bond collector, which is a polite way of saying, Monster Hunter. She hunts them and whenever she can she destroys them. Her hatred for the Orcs, goblins, trolls, and fairies that live side by side with humans on the magically conjoined planets called Mirth runs deep. But only Jazz knows why, how deep, and what she’s willing to do to express it. But Jazz’s greatest enemy is the invisible power behind the hostile takeover that destroyed the Earth that she remembers. And that’s one enemy Jazz probably won’t live to face.

A fast paced futuristic serial with a hint of noir and a lot of trouble.

It was the second time in my life that I was about to be hit by a train. I guess when you’ve been around as long as I have the odds for it aren’t really all that impressive. Part of me wanted to stand up and embrace the end of struggle and suffering, but I wasn’t one to just lay down and die. So instead I lay down and maybe, possibly, most likely would die.

I dropped into a puddle of my own blood. I’d been set to leaking when I got shot by one of Boss Geeter’s goons. I would have wondered why they hadn’t kept on shooting, but, as I had something close to a half-million tons of hover train barreling toward me, I didn’t have time for research and contemplation.

Despite the burning pain in my side I managed to drag myself between the mallow rails, blew out every square millimeter of air inside me, and thought skinny thoughts, really skinny. This was going to be close.

Hover trains barely skim above the rails, and some of the cars dip down in the center to take advantage of every available bit of
