    There was nothing to it. You had to frown at the information provided to you. There were few choices available with what you had learned.

    One, this Buffy Summers was... dangerous.

    Two, the locals had a version of Sparks and the science they did. Only they called such magic, and constructs and such were called vampires, demons and so on. It was delightfully quaint, but it was only a naming convention.

    Three, this Buffy Summers was a killer of constructs gone wrong. Perhaps, a runner of blades equivilant. Only gone rogue or at least under the minimal command of the Librarian.

    Four, it was noted that she would frequent this "Bronze" cabaret. And thus, could likely be found there.

    You didn't exactly have much of a choice based on the information. After all, you couldn't just very well go back to the library and claim that you couldn't find this Buffy. Why your companions and peers would mock you for that. Nor could you just rely on Victoria to hunt down Buffy, not when there were gaps in what the clank could see.

    No. It was up to you, to make the best of the situation you found yourself in.

    For were you not [​IMG]?

    You could do this? And so you did. With a nod of appreciation at the snitch barkeeper, you stood up and made your exit with companions, stage left.

    Once outside, you did a quick check with Victoria for any signs of Buffy.

    The response was a maybe, the clank had made some tentative matches to the description of Buffy. However, there were also errors in each tentative matches.

    It was the hand on your shoulder and a quiet hiss that got you looking up from your display unit and stopped your distracted walking. Your man at arms had his rifle ready, while princess Willow had her sword at the ready.

    "Well, well, what have we here?" The man standing before you didn't appear to be deviate too far from human norm. Certainly, he looked scruffy and had a certain air of disrepute around him. There was also the scent carried on the wind as it blew towards you now. Garbage, rotting food and drinks. "It looks like it's time for some exotic food."

    The twitch from the man as he stretched his neck in a manner that you KNEW wasn't normal on a human had you put away your display unit and drawing your pulse pistol.

    This was possibly a rogue construct, or worse... an intelligent revenant.

    Lightning danced over the vitae chambers of your pulse pistol as you set it from its normal and standard stunt form to one that you had seldom call for; kill to death.

    "Perhaps, you should go hunt different prey tonight," you kept your pulse pistol pointed down, and your finger away from the trigger. With your arm relaxed, but ready to move, you wouldn't be easy prey for this... thing.

    It tilted its head at your reply. Far too wide eyes looked at you keenly, and you note with distress... hungrily. "Is that so?"

    Perhaps, it wasn't an intelligent revenant, or some sort of construct, but a human driven to insane heights and augmented.

    Given what you knew of rogue constructs, of the monsters that men could create and become, was it any surprise the way you responded?

    This... thing from what you could infer in its look had unwholesome and what some might consider unnatural hungers. And as it twitched and stepped forward and closer to you, your keen sight noted the way it moved its leg, its stance and the stiffness of its limbs.

    This... this was no human, and from the way your good corporal chambered a round into his weapon and kept it trained on that thing, he too had seen it for what it was.

    "I would suggest you go away and look for easier prey elsewhere," You called out, the Vitae Capacitors of your pulse pistol spun faster as you slipped a finger on to the trigger while the scent of ozone hung heavy around it and you.

    "Is th... that so?" There was another jerking motion of a step forwards by that thing.

    You knew better than to let something dangerous close to you, your arm snapped up and the air filled with the whining hiss of your pulse pistol discharging.

    By your side, there is the staccato roar of the rifle of corporal Harris. The scent of cordite and ozone hung around the two of you as founds of solid matter and energetic plasma pulses struck home, flesh and ichor tore from the thing as it fell back.

    The impact from your combined weapons were sufficient to throw the body of that thing backwards and on to the street.

    Arcs of electricity danced over the twitching form as you eyed it carefully. There was a hint of movement from your side and you find the corporal keeping the princess from approaching the fallen body to determine if it had died.

    "Ma'am, it's not safe to go near corpses until we can confirm it's truly dead," There was a certain hardness in his eyes as if he spoke with great experience of not going near fallen enemies until it was confirmed that they were dead.

    A precaution that you had to agree with, and which found vindication as the corpse twitched before arms armored in dark slick chitin burst their way out of the fallen figure.

    The thing that pulled itself free of the fallen "human" figure had you nodding. It was a construct within a human skinsuit. The thing was a giant insectile creature with a pseudo-exoskeleton, a dark slick and slimy chitin shell that resembled a cockroach. What worried you was its maw with the rather large and sharp fangs.

    No matter where you go, there are certain things that strive a repulsive chord in human females. Or not so human females in Princess Willow's case.

    One of them being slimy, disgusting bugs like cockroaches and assorted other... bugs.

    Like what stood before you.

    It might have been a relief to be able to see what you were fighting, but the revulsion within you at the sight of that insectile Thing wasn't going to stop you or even slow you down. No, it in fact made you shoot FASTER and HARDER at it!

    Your man at arms beside you proved to be stout, loyal and in a word sharp of wits, as he too filled the air with the roar of his rifle discharging a surprising number of metal rounds at the bug without thought of conserving ammunition.

    You would need to speak to him about this later. Not that you fault him for liberal usage of rounds on that Bug. It was a disgusting and gross bug that was also slimy.

    Eeeewwww. Thankfully, you didn't need a man or anyone to squish it for you! You were a woman of the new age, and armed with a pulse pistol modified to shoot lethal shots of plasma.

    The Bug, however, to be more resilient than expected and thus could and did withstand a surprising amount of damage done to it by you and corporal Harris.

    Still, science and physics triumphed over base biology and it collapsed.

    Taking no chances, you made sure to snip off its twitching limbs with well placed shots before making your way pass it.

    Continuing on, you eventually reach the Bronze. Which despite its notation of a hours of operation up to one in the morning, was still open. With neon lights outside, and what sounded like a fist fight within.

    It didn't take much to determine that there was a back door into the Bronze, what with it being a converted warehouse. Naturally, said back door led into the kitchen.

    It didn't take much effort for you to jimmy the locks on it. It was almost magical how easy it was, no deadly poison needle trap, no gatling cannon arrays, no amusing crushing plates... there wasn't even a flame thrower to give you a warm welcome.

    In a way, it was also disappointing. Still, with the doors jimmied open, your companions had a way in while you walked in bold as brass.

    In the front door.

    Without a single care, you walked in. With weapon in easy reach of your hand, you projected an aura of nonchalance. The perfect gentle lady taking a stroll in a park or entering a tea salon.

    You walked not into a battlefield, but a brawl. A vulgar occurrence, all in all.

    How disappointing, still, you suppose this was somewhat to be expected. What with it being a nightclub mentioned derogatorily by the snitch, Willy, and frequented by the type of people with colorful names such as 'slayer', you shouldn't be too surprised at there being a low class barfight. Why, if one didn't know any better, they might even have assumed that this was an Irish bar or even a bar after the Mechanicsburg fashion or some such.

    Well... it appeared you had managed to catch the tail end of a barfight between constructs, humans and possibly even some of the so-called vampires and demons with but a lone victor. After all, she who is left standing is the winner, right?

    "That'll show you," the blonde construct in the yellow tan uniform spat blood to the side as she kicked her opponent away from her where he had fallen.

    At least, you assumed she was a construct what with her crimson eyes and fangs in mouth and the inhuman strength that she had demonstrated with the elbow drop that had shattered a table shortly after you entered the nightclub.

    Comparing the image you had of this "Buffy Summers", it was... possible that this was her, but she had a far larger set of... talents than the girl in the picture.

    You nod at her as she staggered to the bar and settled down there. "Whacha want?"

    How delightful, a lower class london accent.

    Also, she was aggressive. But not overtly so as suggested by what you had inferred from the records and speaking to Willy. Still, it WAS possible that she had been altered or transferred as the children had been.

    Offering her a hand, you smiled. "[​IMG] at your service."

    "Seras Victoria," She warily shook your hand. Blinking, her eyes returned to a lovely shade of blue. Oh, this was adorable, that she was designed to signal if she was in combat mode or not.

    A shake of head and she seemed more... confused or was that bemused.
