Please tell me that Soldier-Xander has swords. Because Deadpool is awesome. ;)
 
Sadly, it has been confirmed over IRC that it is not Xander Willson.

A terrible pity indeed.

[X] Good man! A fighting retreat, then! Do aim for their legs, they may well be under some manner of transmogrification effect. Ms. Willow, keep an eye out for a defensible position, please - if nothing else, they are very small, perhaps they cannot jump well! We must make our way to the source of the effect, still, but a Lady Adventurer cannot simply leave a doughty man-at-arms and his... ahem... lightly dressed lady in danger!

Damsel in distress... for a given value of damsel. Young lady? No... no lady would dress like that. Perhaps, young woman? No, she wasn't that young either.

Let's go with the basic female in distress. Yes, that worked.

A stout and valiant man at arms defending her against unspeakable odds and monsters.

You're starting to like this equation.

A quick look about reveals high ground. Perfect.

Zig Zagging~, you make your on to the vehicle to stand on the top and thus have a perfect view of the on-coming monstrosities. The breeze that rustled your hair gave you that slight dashing heroic look.

You gesture at the monsters before calling out. "Hold. You vile and pernicious little constructs! For,
cooltext998666021.png

has arrived. And those who you would harm are under my protection!"

At your introduction, the little monsters paused as did the soldier and that rather... depraved woman dressed in such a scandalous outfit. Their attention on you brought a smile to your lips, a slight curve and flash of pearly whites.

Naturally, you take full advantage of the distraction and shot at the befuddled creatures that might or might not have been human once.

The rotary engine of your Zenith Aetheric Pulse Pistol revved up to its top speed, the hmmming from the spinning vitae chambers and their brilliant verdigris glow spoke of your weapon preparing for a rather staggering amount of discharges while the scent of ozone filled the air from the electricity arcing from the aetheric ionizers over the vitae chambers.

That was when you pressed down on the trigger and swept your weapon in an arc over the on-coming horde and then back once more. Back and forth your weapon swept, scything down the little horrors.

The miniscule and rather soft cracks of thunder from your ZAP pistol filled the air in a constant crackling, sounding almost like a type-writer machine clacking away at an impressive speed.

When the last fell, that was when you released the trigger.

The slight blowing on the muzzle before you slipped said weapon into its holster seemed to make quite an impression on the soldier and his companion. Certainly, his salute at you was sharp and very respectful.

"Ma'am, that was some rather impressive shooting. And that's a nice weapon you have there," The smile and nod was vaguely irritating and familiar.

"Alexander Harris Carter?" The voice of the alien cut in.

"Ah, I apologize, but my name isn't Carter. Corporal Alexander Harris of UNIT at your service," Another sharp salute.

Wait... Alexander Harris? Wasn't he that rather droll and banal terrorist from NuWC? A villain from the continent with that rather ridiculous amount of bounty on his head?

Still, you shake your head. It had to be a coincidence, after all, this Alexander still had both natural eyes and wasn't scarred from countless revivifications?

"Good show yourself too, lad. That was some exemplary shooting yourself," You nodded back at him. "Small targets and aiming for their extremities can make for a challenging shot, that you didn't waste too much of your ammunition speaks well of your crack shot."

"The princess," you gesture at your companion who smiled and nodded at the Corporal. "and I were searching for the source of whatever has displaced us on to here as well as the transmogrification effect that has affected them."

As you said them, you nodded at the affected monsters, who might have been innocent children. "We could do with a doughty man-at-arms with a steady arm and a crack shot. Admittedly, I must say I have some apprehensions with regards to your... lightly dressed... female companion."

"W... what's wrong with you, Harmony?" said lightly dressed female spoke up, clearly in distress at her garments being brought into question. "You're acting like your costume is... is real, and the way you're speaking. And Willow, why are you... not wearing any clothes. I know that you were a freak show, but still. I can buy that dweb Xander acting like this, but... but... argh!"

"I beg your pardon, miss," You frowned at her as did the others with you. "Are you implying that you know us prior to this night? That this is not some random convergence in realities by some Mad Boy experiment?"

"Mad boy?" Raised eyebrows were now directed at you.

"But of course, it is a well known fact that strong sparks, otherwise known as Mad Boys," You capitalized the important words in what you said. "can cause reality to bend and flux with their experiments, such as was witnessed towards the end of the Pax Wulfenbach and the fall of the Baron."

"God, this is just getting stupid," the rather scantily clad female sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Look if what holds true for Xander holds true for you two. You likely won't remember me. I'm Cordelia Chase."

You blinked. You had heard of the Chase, a minor nobility of not much note beyond their wealth from their mercantile pursuits. To see one of their scions fallen to such a depraved depths as to go around in such an outfit.

You sighed and shook your head. "Very well, miss Chase. I swear upon my word that I shall not reveal to any of this night and the... outfit you wore. But really... you should see about finding a more reputable line of work if you were disowned by your family."

She blinked at you.

"Oh god, can this night get any worse," She sighed into her hands. "Look, we really should get to the library, the old man... Giles should know what's going on."

What Do?
[X] Accept Miss Chase's advice and head to the library.
[X] Continue to zero in on the source of the transmogrification effect wave front.
[X] Explore this city of... Sunnydale, at least that's what Miss Chase calls it.
[X] Meanwhile, elsewhere...
[X] Someone decided to do a write-in.
 
[X] "Very well! Never let it be said that
cooltext998666021.png

Would ignore the wisdom of any, regardless of their fortune or profession! Off to the Library we goooo!"
 
[X] Do not worry, Ms. Chase, I understand even minor nobility must occasionally be reduced to embarrassing, sinful, depraved, naughty things in order to remain solvent.
[X] Now, consulting your sage might be wise. But I know the transmogrification effect originated in that direction. Mr. Harris, I hope I can trust these delicate maidens into your care? For I must hunt! Avaunt!
 
[X] "You do that. I have things to investigate."
-[X] Continue to zero in on the source of the transmogrification effect wave front.
 
[X]Miss Chase, you seem to be familiar with our environment. Would you know of any places of interest in this location *indicate the location from which you think the wave came from*
--[X]You say that we are... not who we think we are, but acting "as our costumes"? This... Is alarming. Miss Willow indicated that the small monsters were, in fact, children, changed by a transmogrifiation effect (perhaps some sort of quantum dimensional transferance projector or an ID manifesting device?). This is possible, then, that we too, have been changed by our costumes. You, however, haven't been, yet you still wear a costume. Do you have any device on you that protects you from transmogrification effects? Maybe you are a construct and were, thus, unaffected? Have you ever been revived? If we could find a difference between you and us, we could, probably, come closer to discerning the reason between this calamity, so I, Harmony, The Gentlelady Adventurer, could solve this problem and punish the villain behind it!

[X] Continue to zero in on the source of the transmogrification effect wave front.
---[X]Get miss Chase to go with you - you could use a native guide and she'll be safer in your company.
----[X}Interrogate her on the way.
 
Hey, what would have happened if i hadn't spoken up about the gun still needing batteries?
