Well, since DH said it was dead......it's safe to say I can make one.
IN GIVE MOMENT
DO DA REETUEL...The ritual, you mean?
How odd. Poke a sore, observe.It hurts when you poke it.
We don't get a description of what our mutations are?What do you mean? I described them.
Investimagate computors.You get up and wander over towards them. "What are you doing?" demands one man.
poke the tongue... find a reflective surface and observe tongue... try to speakIn order: It feels like a tongue, [4] looks like a tongue, and you can talk...a bit unclearly, but speak slowly and people should understand you.
Rick sniffs in boredom. "Well... That was that. Knew I shoulda updated mah 401 plan..." He drawled out slowly in a relaxed tone as he leaned against the nearest sturdy object. "Y'all need to relax a bit, too tense. I'm sure the good doctors have the answers, yes?" Rick commented, not really caring whether or not they do. "Either way, this mean I get mah job back?"[1] "No." Some people run in with a cage. Body language indicates that they're going to put someone in it.
Rick drawls and talks, leans against something.
"Ok then, reading apparently not a skill I have anymore, great."You see it, and several people going through it carrying cages.
Look for the door out.
Throw something onto the table.You take out a falcon treat and toss it on the table. Nothing happens.
Maybe one mutation per turn is a bit much.I think my system is nicely simple, but I'll consider reducing mutation rates.
Digital's system looked like it would have worked better.
His descriptions too.
Also why aren't the statuses on the turns themselves?Because...I don't know why.
I liked how they concicely explained what you had. Like my super strength. I knew what it was and how much I had of it. For example, whether I could only lift cars or throw mountains.You don't know your limits, though. And, to be perfectly honest, this mutation is just a bonus to some rolls. It's not that mutation.
His: *953: SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: This mutant has vast physical strength, hypothetically capable of lifting up to several hundred tons.
Yours: Mighty Muscles
Punch way through wall[4+2-3] You knock a hole twice the size of your fist in the wall...about seven feet from the door.
throw shirt at cage guys, try to spread my wings.You do, in fact, have wings. [1] You manage to get your arms and wings tangled in your shirt and labcoat, and fall to the ground.
If that fails due to lack of wings find that reflective surface again.
Continue to do ritual.[2] Not quite done yet...although some people look at you oddly.
Open a window.[2] There are no windows and I imagine that pop probability states I won't roll 2's again for a while.
Rick sniffed as he saw the cages, and him turn orange. "Well... I reckon that sucks." He slowly yawns, and then says "Yep. Don't be puttin' nobody in cages, nobody would like that. Lets all just be calm now, yeah?" Rick still leans against the wall lazily, but is tense and ready to react with a punch if someone attempts to shove him in a cage.[1] "Oh, no, you're going in the cages first...your head is the color of an apricot! Who wants to deal with someone that turns peoples' faces apricot?" [1v5] You manage to stumble into the expertly placed cage of one of the cage-bearers. Body language indicates relief as the cage door closes.
Try and poke something with the finger.FYI, it's a figurative finger. Anyways, [2] you don't see anything happen so it must not have done much.
"Jesus Christ, he turns into framing mister mucsle and for all intents and purposes I'm turning into a baby, low blow universe, low blow."(Actually, you've just shrunk. A lot. You're still at adult proportions...just 2-1/2 feet tall.)
Kick a scientist in the shins and tell him, curtly to fix this shit before punch him out.
Reach through the bars towards the guy who tried to grab me, and grab him. Observe.[5v3-1] You grab his arm. [2] You don't see anything happen.
Pick up guards and toss them through the doors for intimidation.[3+1v3;1+2;6+1] You grab a guard by the shoulder and toss him a few feet towards the door. They laugh, charging at you; [6+2v5+1] despite their numbers and skill in not being hit, several of them are sent sprawling across the floor.
"Eh why the hell not, also do you know how to teach a dyslexic to read, because the serum has messed me up."[4+1-1] "Eh, why not?" You get another shot. Nice, now we have an extra-mutater!
A booster shot! WHY NOT!
Rick gives the worm a glance, shrugging. "Help'd be appretiated now, I'm suppos'in. Any you could give would be fine, or just the company I suppose." He doesn't seem to care much about being caged, still going about his busy lazily and at his own pace. Rick stares at one of the scientists for a bit, before drawling some more. "So, whats ta happen if'in this works? You cagin' us? Can't see that doing much beyond rilin' us up. Couldn't you do some... Whatchacallit... Testin' on rats first? Seems a mite dangerous to go full so fast an all... You sure I can't have my job back?"Firstly, the worm. "I suppose a totem's supposed to hell his tribe, no? And you are about the only tribe I have--last of my last one died a while ago." As you ponder this odd statement, the worm crawls towards you...
Talks to worm, stares at scientist and talks to him.
CONTINUE! DOING! RITUAL!It's probably been long enough by now.
Take off my sneakers and smash the light bulb, alternately find the light switch[2+1] You see the light switch, just beyond the crazy homeless guy. Deciding you're better off with your first idea, you take off your sneakers and bang at the lights...or, rather, the plastic tile-shaped covers over the lights in the ceiling. [1-1] You twist one of your ankles. Ow.
Then bite one of the cage guys
Move through the building, searching for a window.[6v4+1] You sneak past the crazy homeless guy and the crazy guys fighting him (you know they're crazy because they chose to fight him), and [4] into a hallway with a few people in it, wondering what's going on in Test Room E, with a window at one end.
Examine the window. What is outside? What is it made of? Can it be opened?Two people tackled you, wanna do something about that?
Claw their eyes out with a falcon treat, then do the above.Examine the window. What is outside? What is it made of? Can it be opened?Two people tackled you, wanna do something about that?
You pull out a falcon treat and [4v6] stick it where one guy's head was moments before.Claw their eyes out with a falcon treat, then do the above.Examine the window. What is outside? What is it made of? Can it be opened?Two people tackled you, wanna do something about that?
Secrete all over Joe. Convince him to bust through the wall.You cleverly run over to Joe, [4v5] missing by an inch (or five) and [4+2-1v2] getting tossed across the room. [4] You stay conscious.
Mass Melee Murder Mashup.[4+2v3] You toss several people across the room, at least one is dead. No one is attacking you now.
hit the light switch, mug technicians for mutagens[1v3+1] Crazy Joe backhands you, which knocks you down and back a foot. Ouch.
"Alright then, what are you going to do to the sane ones of our group when this is all finished?""That depends on how much of a danger they are..." Your hair feels like hair. You might get a job as a hobbit if anyone is hiring (and you don't grow tentacles or anything).
Touch hair, wonder if I could get a job working as a hobbit.
Go touch everyone![5v3+1] You touch three people. [1,5,1] The two employees you touch break out in sores instantly, but Crazy Joe [5+2v4] punches you in the chest, sending you sprawling backwards.
"Well... Dang. With this economy and all, you know how it is. Can I hope to get a good reference at least?" Rick seems utterly oblivious to the tense situation around him beyond his boredom. "Either way, I'm thinking I'll be hitting the trail I suppose. Don't want to take more of your time than I have to." He tries to get out of the cage, before pausing and scooping up the worm. "Come'ere little guy, I gotcha. No need for you to make so much fuss.""Just so you know...that cage is locked. They're autolocked. That's why that guy two cages to your left hasn't left." He seems to be telling the truth. Meanwhile, the worm has crawled to the cage and seems to be examining it. "It's times like this I wish I didn't have just these ocelli."
Talks to scientist some more, grabs worm gently and puts it in front jumpsuit pocket, leaves cage.
Break through the wall where the window is.You can do that, but in case you forgot the window is in the hall, right by Remuthra's character (the other Joe).
Stab the lady in the ass....What?
Touch the woman stuck in the window.
Well, go out into the hall and
Break through the wall where the window is.You hurry into the halls, with the only people in the way being an intern who ducks into the room before you reach him and the other Joe, who [3+2v5] is pushed a step to the side. Reaching the window, you punch the wall, [6-1+2] causing a large section of the wall and floor to collapse, causing shouts of fear from the woman stuck in the window, a bellow of surprise from you, and a call of falcon from the other Joe, causing you to wonder if you'd be the "Crazy" Joe if you had a last name, right before the nice spring air causes you to sneeze violently. Did your sneezing muscles get stronger or something?
Stab the lady in the ass.As I was never informed which lady was being stabbed or with what, I suppose all Xan does it note the massive crashing sound from Crazy Joe smashing the one side of the hallway.
"Hem. Well, it doesn't seem that the thing did much to me beyond make my face funny. Nothing that a spray-on tan wouldn't do anyway. But whatever..." Rick just relaxes the best he can in the cage. "So, whatcha were you expectin' from this anyhow?"[6] Partway through your chatting, your voice gets a lot louder, loud enough to hurt. "This is what we expect," the scientist replies. "Even the most innocuous of test subjects are...unstable for a time. Already, we have proof something's gone wrong, as--what was that sound?"
Continues drawling, touches lock out of curiosity, then relaxes in cage if nothing happens.
Touch the woman stuck in the window.You bolt for the door, intending to infect the poor soul trapped by a window only big enough to fit her lower body, but are interrupted by Crazy Joe ripping a huge hole in the building.
Let out an ancient falcon call.You step to the side, shouting a Falcon Call as Crazy Joe rips a huge hole in the wall.
"Am I considers dangerous, because if that means what I think it means I won't cause a media fuss about all this, I'll keep quiet.,"[6] "No way you can be dangerous. Hey, look--" A guy in the room grabs you and tosses you out the door, making you hit the wall. You note a hole in one end of the hall.
Deals being made, also ask if theirs any food.
You hurry out of the room, glide down a bit to the ground, and blindly touch the terrified woman. [3] You think you touched her stomach...Touch the woman stuck in the window.Then jump out the window and fly away
Stab the lady trapped in the mirror in the ass with my knife, then secrete numbing fluid in the wound....Do you mean that lady trapped in the window?
Try again.
Not according to the update.You did unleash such a call. What were you trying to accomplish?
I was trying to call a falcon.Not according to the update.You did unleash such a call. What were you trying to accomplish?
"Oh, that sound? Probably one of the nutters you fellas experimented on. Could it 'ave hurt you to choose more sensible people? Buncha funny guys in bathrobes, mutterin'. One moment they're all quiet, next they're punchin' stuff and screamin'.""Not that that sound, that other sound...they're starting the other tests? We're still getting the last test under control!"
Rick keeps ondistractingdrawling at the scientist.
[You know, foreshadowing is fun. Electric punches and hyper voice! Just need to get out of this cage...]
Escape out the hole, stretch!You do so. Not sure what more needs be said, aside from the crazy cultist cutting your tie.
make the situation less uncomfortable by kidnapping her and flying to the roof.Not sure how that makes things LESS uncomfortable, but [4-1] you struggle the two of you up to the roof into the sun's pitch-black rays. [2] You find no roof access, and start looking for someone to demand ransom from. "Um...mister, what are you going to do to me?"
Once up there block roof access and ransom her for mutagens
Go outside, take a nap in the grass. Be sure to check for nearby flowers before doing so.You locate a patch of lawn, no flowers, and curl up for a nap.
RUN OUTSIDE THROUGH WHATEVER HOLES ARE AVAILABLE. STAB SOMEONE.You leap out of the building and [5v5] cut off the end of the tie of a fellow mutant.
Call for falcons![1] You call a few pigeons, who promptly decide they hate you. Headpecks ensue.
"Somebody get a number for that velocraptor spacehsip mama....."You stagger up, muttering about velo-craptr spaceh-sip mamas, and stumble for the room. You get knocked over by people swarming out, one of whom grabs you by the back of your loose shirt and tosses you away again. You tighten your belt and wish you had something to cut most if the legs off your jeans.
Wait what just happend, someone threw me, for some reason, stand up and go back to the guy I was talking to.
"Hey guys, what's- Fred? Man Fred is that you? Dude whaddup? Check me out!"Mixing dreams and reality, are you?
Greet police friend Fred. Flex Tentamuscle.
Run.You quickly shuffle out of there at about walking speed...
"Hey guys, what's- Fred? Man Fred is that you? Dude whaddup? Check me out!"Awakening to the sound of cop cars, you flex your muscles at a policeman. [6-1] "...Joe, is that you? What's going on? Are you allergic to pollen...and when did you get those muscles?"
Greet police friend Fred. Flex various muscles.
GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT PONDYou sprint away, [1] tripping within fifteen seconds. [5] You find a terrified--paralegal?--to stab, [1-1v3-1] but end up breaking your knife against your shin. Ouch!
GO FIND SONEONE ELSE AND STAB THEM TO RELIEVE MY FEAR
Disintegrate them, then try again.[2+1, 2-1] You feel woozy after disintegrating the pigeons, causing an inexplicable vulture to come down and land on your shoulder. It picks at your head as well.
im going to ransom you for delicious mutagens, now go over to the edge and call for help while i find the stairwell.Yeah, so much for hoping you'd be...not that.
find and bar the roof access point, wait for people to come to help my captive then trade her for mutagens.[6] You don't find any way onto the roof, but are alerted of a way off as your "hostage" hops off the roof...onto a fire escape. Huh. Maybe of it was darker you would have noticed that.
While/If he isn't currently being watched due to being passive/unimpressive compared to the others, Rick silently opens the cage door and retrieves the worm, which he puts in his front jumpsuit pocket. "Thanks little buddy, how about we get outta here, yeah? I'm itching to spread my legs." He said silently as he then moves to leave. If anyone tries to stop him he shouts an "EXCUSE ME SIR/MA'AM, DREADFULLY SORRY," and/or gives a tingling shove out of his way."Well, thinkin' I best be moving on now, places to see, people to meet an all. Been nice knowing you--" "Owowow! Don't pull! I'm stuck!" "...Um...one sec."
If he is being watched however, he says "Well, thinkin' I best be moving on now, places to see, people to meet an all. Been nice knowing you fellas, he says as he retrieves his worm and opens the door at once, putting the worm in his pocket softly while whispering a thanks to it. "Now, I don't mean to be rude but I'll be heading off now." If anyone tries to stop him he shouts an "EXCUSE ME SIR/MA'AM, DREADFULLY SORRY," and/or gives a tingling shove out of his way.
[I get a lot of awesome six rolls on mutations.]
"For the love of God, WHO IEEPS THROWING ME!"You glow, girl! Only not, because "Bruce" is a very odd woman's name. You do, however, glow.
Glow powers, ACTIVATE!
Overmutation? I still wanna see what that would look like. Would you keep rolling until you have something that would be sufficiently deadly, or just roll once and try to turn that into a deadly mutation?...Either could be fun.
"Oh dude! WHat the fuck, man!"[6-1v1] All three police officers go nuts violently. Thankfully, only one shoots at you, [2-1v1+1] missing due to his insanity and your agility, while the others only shoot at innocent bystanders.
Glare at them heavily and go back inside.
Wave my hands around hippie style while singing.You, um, do so. The paralegal looks less scared and more confused.
"Well... Damn. Don't know why I thought that would work." Rick sighed and grumbled a bit. "Since I'll be here a bit longer than I wish, it seems, care to shoot me a name? Name's Rick, don't believe I saw you around the office, so to speak. How'd we all end up like this, you holdin' a man in a cage like an animal, and me being the spoke 'oft man.""Hey, Rick. Name's Dave. I'm here to record data. Any data you think is worth recording?"
Rick tries to distract the technician by talking to him while he also uses his power of water manipulation to make water go into the lock and try to, gently, extract the worm from it.
"Stop throwing me!"[3] Cursing the poor person, you bang around a little before knocking over the trash can and crawling out, covered in [5] sweat an and rage. Sadly, the offending
Chase after that mother fucker who keeps throwing me, I'm going to kick him and insult him a little bit.
jump into the fire escape, re kidnap her(She's actually on the ground.)
...look for a gun.[6-1] You find a cop, frothing at the mouth, and relieve him of his belt, including pistol and taser.
Odd. Go find a homeless shelter.[1] You find a dark alley, which works as well as it did for Thomas Wayne. [5v2;6] While you get your legs broken within seconds, you stagger around and smacks one guy [2] who starts to develop a reddish spot there. Your legs are quickly reduced to mangled mush; [5] you barely remain conscious.
((I was actually imagining a point where half the players were barely recognizeable as human, but sadly you seem to mostly be getting, as you so succinctly put it, "mutant powers". I need to figure SOMEthing out...))
Leave the building. Carve on the front door that Joe Bridger has left the building.You're already outside, so you decide to carve a message on the side of the building, maybe the front door! Sadly, your falcon treats fail to cause so much as a scratch to the door you're at. As you ponder this, a security guard exits the door and says, "Good morning, Mr. Bridger. Don't you want to come inside and relax?"
Futz around, wondering what to do. Attempt to bend light around self and become invisible.Hm. You can definitely do that, which just increases the confusion of the police officers' backup. Or you could screw with the other mutants, like the winged one who just dragged an attractive woman in.
Begin performing a ritual to my god and convince the others to do it along with me.[4] You get the paralegal to sorta follow along. He's a good secondary chanter. You could use a second guy in the cult...
"I'd like recorded that I don't much appreciate being locked up. For what I'm doing, I'm lying in a cage, listening to prattling. I reckon its pretty easy to listen and speak for a spell, so the how ain't too hard. Why? Its better than sittin' in silence, that's for sure. Much less awkward, at least. If'in you are meanin' what I think you're meanin', beats me all up. I ain't got a clue what's going on, just that I was offered a chance to get mah job back if'in I agreed to do some testin'. Now I have horns on my face," Rick accented this by scratching one idly, "and from what I see made me all orange like those little guys in William Wacky, or whatever that movie's called. Nothing else of note, not that I can tell at least. Just feel kinda funny, although the feelings been dying down a tad as nothing else seems to be happening."He seems suspicious. [1] The worm gets stuck again. Hm...
Rick continues trying to distract Dave by talking about various things, trying to notice or pick up anything useful from Dave's body language, and also trying to see if he can bring about that one thing by watching him for a while. He's waiting to see when the worm gets itself free, before he tries busting out.
spread misery and misfortune by biting my kidnapped victim and dropping her onto an insane policeman before yelling ZOMBIES![2v5-2] Your victim evades you for a moment before you sink your teeth into her soft flesh. [4] Tasty. [2] You can't lift her any longer, but manage to drag her over to the policemen, shouting "ZOMBIES!" The policemen are too insane to notice, and their backup too distracted by mutants to care.
Attack anyone still standing with my weapon arm.[5-2v5] He dodges out of the way. [1-1] You bleed out.
steal policemans gun then shoot him and fly back inside.You swoop over towards the policemen, [2v3] just dodging a bullet, [1v4] and manage to smash into the officer's car. Ow.
Continue ritual and stuff.[2] Your participant wanders off.
"I'm not feeling quite well, good chap, so I'll be going home early. Much obliged for the hospitality, however."[5v4] The security guard grabs your arm. "Sir," he says. [2] "You don't even have an automobile, driver's license, bus pass, change, or from the looks of it even an idea of how to get where you want to go."
Go home.
Go glare at Remuthra, wonder if the GM has a plot or story in mind.Yes. "Bay12ers in control of mutants escape facility and do crazy things. IMPROVISE THIS BIT. They die. Send in the next bunch."
"Wuh." Is all Rick can drawl out as he examines the changes in his left arm and leg. "Well, that's not somethin' you see every day. Seems its still kickin' in me. Hm." He gives a shrug, not really caring much, and continues to watch Dave. "So... This going any how any where? Or ya just gonna watch me scratch myself a bit as I watch ya stand with a clipboard. Now, I don't doubt I'm quite entertainin' to watch an all, but eh..." Rick looses his trail of thought for a moment. "So what exactly was in that stuff dohicky anyway? The stuff that's changin' everything everyway.""Um...what was in it? Teratomorphic retroenzymes or something...viruses? I dunno, I didn't make it." The worm [5] pops out, allowing the cage door to swing open. "About time, too!"
Rick mentally sighs about worm, continues watching Scientist Dave and distracting him with speech and words and stuff. Tries to discretely remove worm from lock gently with water. Again.
"Arr...""Arr...how are ye, me hearty?"
Look around, assess surroundings.
The muscular man in the corner nictates at the other people in the room. They are strange. Very strange. He gets up slowly and opens his eyes, then speaks in a deep, gravelly voice.You chat some. The one frat guy looks disoriented. The scientist woman grows. Her clothes didn't. Heh heh.
"Hi, everbody! I'm Walther! And you would be?"
Introduce self and look about.
Begin pacing around the room. Hopefully the first effect will be something immediately noticable.[5] Does suddenly growing 5 extra feet count as "immediately noticeable?" Because that's what you just did. Sadly, your glasses and clothes did not grow with you...thankfully, the labcoat stayed intact enough to cover half your important-to-cover bit, while your hand not slipping the remnants of your pants into your pocket will temporarily suffice for the other. [4] You also grab a sheet and use it to cover yourself, for now.
"Yo, bros! Have I ditched humanity and shit?""Yo, bro, have I--"
Leap down from whereever I am to see if I'm super fast or super strong.
"What the hell... this isn't death row! That means I have another chance to kill everything again! Hahahaha!"Hm...[3] You could probably kill that guy next to you by grabbing a scalpel from the tray of them right next to you...oh, and one short girl's growing out of her clothes.
Look around. Figure out what's going on. Also take note of people and ways to kill them.
Go break down more walls and support pillars.You decide to sneak back into the building. [1+2v4] This plan would have worked better had you not ran into the guards, literally.
Stab participant for wandering off. YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART YOU BASTARDYou get up, ripping your roots out, and stumble at the paralegal. [6-1v6] You stab true, but he slides to the side, [3] hurting his leg. Rain begins to fall on his fallen form.
I ONLY WANTED TO BRUTALLY SACRIFICE YOU TO MYSELF
"Well, so it is. Do you perchance know where exactly my home is, good sir? I seem to forget exactly what I was doing before I lost my nose.[5] "...Ah, here. Have this and this; bus stop's that way. What the--um, go fast, maybe you can get home before the rain gets too bad..."
If you'll kindly tell me the way home, I can walk, or perhaps ask for a bus ticket on loan."
raise hands and plead for help due to being blind, ask for directions to nearest spectacle store.[4-1] Thunder booms. "...And how do you explain the woman?"
Rick yawned as he pushed the cage door further open and stepped outside, scooping up the worm and gently putting it in his front jumpsuit pocket. "Thanks there little buddy, much obliged I am." He turns to the scientist, Dave, and tips an imaginary hat. "I make my adue to you sir, it was much fine talking to ya, and I hope we could remain in good terms, hmhumm. As for me, well, I guess I'll be leaving now. Got mah soaps to get too, you know. Try and find myself a new job... Hopefully things will go well in this job market. Best of luck to yah." He then makes for the door to leave."Oh, you can't...what are you doing?"
Rick exits cage, grabs worm and puts in front jumpsuit pocket gently, thanks it. Talks to Dave politely, tries to leave. If stopped, try the tingly touch thing. If that fails, try the hyper voice thing of "EXCUSE ME, SORRY 'BOUT THAT. DIDN'T MEAN TAH BUMP INTO YAH."
Make a nice little home in the dumpster!
[/spoiler]
[5] You clean up, making a nice little hovel with a bed and other furniture. Really, aside from being small, smelly, and devoid of water, electricity, doors, etc, it's just like home. It even leaks...you hope that's rainwater.
Now for three turns of accelerated mutations!
[6+1,4+1,2+1,4,4,4;5,6,1,4,4,3] Hoo boy. Your left arm and right foot wither some, before your legs wither completely and are replaced with a cobralike tail, all in an oddly attractive way. You also develop diabetes, doubled agility, and light-sensitive eyes--ie, "bwyt wyt!"

-----"Hey babe, shake what yo mamma gave you!"After making a probably-lewd comment, you glance around. [5] You grab a syringe and inject yourself with it.
Look for some more mutagenic fluid to pour on self/drink/imbibe/use on self.
[3] Your face fades. "What the hell? How can I still speak and see that giant chick?""Guys, guys! I think I have become a weather oracle! Cool! All the great clowns had this ability! I am fulfilling the prophecy!"[1-2] You hear thunder.
Try to alter the weather for the next day to be a loop of 1 hour of sunny weather, 15 minutes of heavy rainfall. Beware of treachery on the way.((...I love how under 'Physical State', I'm still listed as 'Short, Thin'.))Well, I did...I meant to strike out the "Short" but gods damn my netbook screwing up. Should be fixed as I type it, which is probably going to be a while before I post it.QuoteMake sure the sheet's covering everything, before trying to see how well I can walk in my....enlarged state.[4] It's not comfortable, but it'll do. You can walk fairly well if the ceiling's high enough, but you're guessing your legs are going to hurt if you try running."Arr! I like the sound of tharrrs!"
Go round, touching random people. EVERYONE WILL FEEL THE MAGIC. Don't forget to touch self.A scalpel huh? I guess that'll work. I think I'd like a bloodbath!Two rampages start. [1] Well, one--the one nut stabs his hand with a scalpel. The other goes nuts, [2] completely failing to smack anyone. In short, two rampages fail to start.
"Hey mister? Mind if I take a bath..." *grabs the scalpel and slashes at the man's throat* "In your blood!?"
Grab the scalpel and slash open the throat of the nearest person. If he dies... or will be soon, look for more people and more ways to kill them. If he's alive... well keep on slashing!

NPC Actions:
Across the county, people gawk at the clouds for suddenly swerving and colliding over the facility, starting a big thunderstorm.
Outside, some policemen hide in their cars.
Inside, a number of people mill about nervously. An experiment is breaking loose AND a fight is starting in another room? Do we even have that many guards?

[4-1] Thunder booms. "...And how do you
explain the woman?"
[3]
Focus fire light onto them like a giant procreating magnifying glass is perched high in the sky in front of the sun.[4] You set one on fire. The others glance at him and bolt. Your stomach rumbles loudly, not helping stealth. You're getting hungry...
Take the bus home. Celebrate being the guy who isn't part of the big psycho mutant bloodbath.You get on the bus and start cheering about how you're not a crazy mutant. No one believes you.
...Its raining? HAHAHAHA, WEATHER MAN YOU ARE THE BEST! Make it pour!Your attempt at bloodbending fails, but [5] a convenient water cooler allows you to drive off everyone until a bunch of people come running. One has a singed beard.
"Awh hell." Rick makes a break for the exit, using his control of water to either force the water in people around to push them away, or use existing water to push/shove/wash people away. If lethal force is used, be more forceful, if non-lethal force is used just focus on pushing them away from self then.
Grab him and try to grow my roots into his head.No, you have roots in your shoulders, remember?
Grab him with my feet if necessary.
Different police.Quote[4-1] Thunder booms. "...And how do youPolice cancel notice woman: too insane

fly away, crash into a spectacle store, steal sunglasses[6] Oh fun. You fly into a store, which immediately becomes a spectacle as a tall, winged guy breaks his neck as he crashes through the front window.
Go find a lab rat!Bruce looks for a pet. Or maybe livestock. [1] He finds a large alley cat interested in the small, edible creature in the dumpster.
"Oh, would you look at that! That guy's hurt! Let me help you with that, man!"
Remove scalpel from That Guy's hand. Stab him with it repeatedly if he starts trouble.
"Well... that was wierd.... I thought my hand was a person.... I gotta stop doing that hahaha! Now.... real persons that I hope really are real, I hope you enjoy death!"
Stab the closest person to me in the eye and all the way to the brain.
Smash a hole in the wall, pick up Walther and start climbing the building. Because I've always wanted to recreate king-kong with somewhat of a role reversal.[4v2-1] That Guy has the scalpel removed by a helpful nutjob [6-1v4] who gets hoisted up by and slung over the shoulder of
"Wicked sweet!"[5] You grab another syringe of super-serum and poke it into yourself. Maybe you should diversify...
Commit further acts of poorly-thought out and ill-advised attempts to further mutate myself.
((You didn't roll for me to get new mutations! :'( ))(Your serum only rolls every other turn, barring extra injections.)
If at first you don't succeed... TRY, TRY AGAIN!
Attempt to shoot stuff out of hands. Find the kitchen.It seems to slowly scorch the carpet. Pathetic. You don't even notice that you caught your leg in the beam. [6] You wander through the corridors and discover a door which inexplicably opens above a giant pot of boiling water. Does that count as a kitchen? If so, you're in a kitchen. Which is good, because something tasty if stinky seems to be cooking!
Continue killing him with my roots. Absorb his corpse after he's dead. Carry him around attached to my shoulders if necessary.You are bored. Care for a biology lesson? Roots don't grow fast. [4v2] They're also not good at binding people. Or lawyers.
Wait for my stop, then get off.((Well, yes.))
I still escaped the bloodbath, didn't I?
have storepersons call an ambulance, go to hospital, ask for blind person glasses."MEDIIIC! Someone call 911!" [1] "Die, you freak of nature!" That doesn't sound like someone calling 911...[2] Ow ow ow ow why are they hitting and kicking and stomping you?
...Can understand body language to a startling degree, have bug features, can make loud screeches, have bat wings, can converse with a worm, can control water... I AM BECOME WATER BAETLE! BRINGER OF THE FLOODS!"Ah...when try to ate, excavate? You know, when a bird tries to...this isn't applicable to you, is it?"
Rick continues trying to escape, using his new wings if able, and continues using his water powers to move people away. "Any advise little buddy?"
1st guy: Attempt to make cat roast.To make rabbit stew, you first need a rabbit. To make cat roast, you first need a cat.
((...I am turning into the ultimate sexual superhero.))[3] You locate the sheet, now filthy and ripped. It's not metal.
Leap up, and desperately find something to cover myself! Preferably NOT METAL.
"I sincerely thank you for what just happened, Giant Girl. This will inspire me for months!"((You got a 1--no mutation.))
Walther nods, gets up and breaks into a run.
Make a run for it, leave the premises.
((By the way, where's my mutation?))
"Mother fucker took Scalpy! Oh well, Scalpy was dick who stabbed me. Hm... let's see if I can makes some more lethal friends."[6] You grab a security guard's gun. He shoots you in the hand.
Since my weapon got stolen, look for something else. Then test it out on nearest person.
Wake up. Inject self with some serum.[4] You wake up. [3] You locate a syringe, but it's knocked out of your grasp.
Break beaker and use it as a weapon.[2] You can't get ye beaker! You don't even know where it could be!
When will I get in?Whenever the next batch of experiments is ready.
Drink soup! also climb out of pot.You sip some of the boiling water. Hm, water and a little spice...they didn't get far. Well, now they can add Hobo Grease to the ingredients list! [2] Or just "hobo."
"Oh God they'rve bee' mutatin' an' experimentin' on us an' holdin' us against our will, yah 'ave to help us!" Rick continues fleeing.[4-1] "If this is all true, then why are--" You run off before you can hear the rest.
FUCKING TROGLODYTES!("Troglodyte" means "lives in a cave," not "savage.")
Run away, find hospital
'GODDAMMIT DIE FOR ME ALREADY"[3+1v5] He resists the solution and [2+1v1] slips out, using your solution as a lubricant thingy! He collapses on the ground, chunks and gouges missing from his skin and flesh.
Secrete numbing slime on his feet, preventing him from running away. In fact, secrete slime all over him.
Take Aspirin to relieve my mutation symptoms. Because Aspirin solves everything.[3] You find a single aspirin in the almost-empty bottle. You eat it.
Try my best to cover myself with what I've got, and run after the guy who ran to the forest.[3] You adjust the sheet and make a mental note to visit some kind of tailor or tent shop.
Grab the guy who knocked the serum out of my hands by the shoulders and shake him around a bit. Then locate the serum, inject.[1v5] You fall over. Someone smacks you, making you feel less angry.
Excellent, everything's going according to plan.[6] You find a cabin. As you tug at the door, you hear an ominous click. "Tael me wha yo' brekkin' inta mah cabin, big boh."
Find a cabin in the woods.
"Why hello good sir. I that was my hand you just shot! RAAAAAAGE! HAHAHAHA!"[5-1&1-1v6] You scrape at his throat and get your hand shot OFF. Ow ow ow.
Choke the guard with one hand and steal the gun with the other. As soon as I get the gun, shoot him in the groin! Then shoot wildly at people!
"Can't see! Totally lame, bros!""Gr! Ugh! Ummm!" You do not re-develop sight.
Attempt to improvise myself a method of sight! Preferably by more self-administered mutations.
Well, time to go to a doctor.Only one way to find out! [2] No.
To the hospital!
Do I have medical insurance?
Turn self invisible and climb out of the soup.[4] You were already invisible (well, kinda), but you climb out of the water...[1] and run right into a cook, disrupting your concentration. They scream for security.
projectile vomit in peoples faces until they stop beating me, wait for sirens to arrive, politely ask emergencyservices for assistance.Good job, you found a use for that!
Come on dynamic politeness bonus.
Kill him nao[6v6] Several minutes of combat ensue that wouldn't be out-of-place in an anime filler arc. You both collapse, exhausted.
Keep fleeing, for the woods! "Why 'm I turnin' intah a bug?! I need a place tah lie low for a bit..."You run. You are in the woods.
"My mind is really tripping HAHAHA! I... I turned into a gun? Now I now that is impossible, right Mr..... I'm gonna call you... ARM CANNON FODDER!"You turn into a tube of metal. Hm, not as good as you thought...While being a tube, you're stuck in a cage.
Wish my arm to be Megaman'ss arm cannon thing and blow off Mr. Arm Cannon Fodder's head (aka the guard). No matter what happens, start laughing maniacally!
((Did I get freaking shape shifting powers? Seriously? Freaking awesome!))
((Anger...pire?))((Portmanteau of "Anger" and "Vampire".))
"Yeah, bro! Feel the power now!"[4v1] You clobber a scientist over the head. This doesn't make you more powerful.
Go kill the nearest NPC for power. Somehow.
Off, After Walther!You run into the forest, [2] and get lost.
((Wait, so my touching ability will make people explode... And feel confused? Well, I guess I would be confused if some random guy came up to me and made me explode.))(They're both voluntary. You could make people confused, try making them explode, both, or neither.)
"Oh come on how did I just make that explode I have the worst of luck!"[3v6] "RAA! Lime Attack!" He steps to the side, right into a bullet bouncing off the metal tube. Oof.
Get up and slap that guy who keeps on attacking me back. Unleash the full force of the Lime!
"Excuse me, but have you heard the good news of our Lord?"[3] "Ah...yer uh miss'nery? Git off mah porch, y'wayst-uh speys!"
Distract, distract, distract! If that fails, get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.
"Eh, doctor, how long are we the waiting for to begin? I am good and legal volunteer, happy for eager to the beginning of thing!"You don't do patience, do you?
Walk to the free clinic to get myself fixed up.[6] You break out of the car and [2] fall on where your face used to be.
My only recourse is to throw the cooks into the pot and then irradiate the hell out of it.[3+1v6] The cooks evade your grasp, so you just irradiate them. [6+1] They are unaffected.
Steal guy's clothing, walk off in search of adventure.[2,2] You both lay on the ground, exhausted.
demand rerolls due to obviously faulty dice, successfully survive long enough for police to shoot me[6] You...um...um...get even more dead once the police arrive. Yeah.
Its worth a shot at least :P
Rick pants as he leans against a tree. "Right... Right... Okay... Well then, little buddy, any suggestions? Seemin' I'm in the free. For now. What exactly did 'ja mean tha I was ina tribe or somethin'? He checks over his belongings and checks for his new mutations. "Well... Less and less I look like mah old self. Anyhow, I'm thinking I should probably find a place with water... Lots of it. You know of any?""I mean that you are apparently the last or only member of a tribe I was once the totem for. The mighty Earthworm Tribe...okay I'm lying, it was pathetic. It was wiped out by the Robin Tribe. THE ROBIN TRIBE! It was terrible. I had no tribe and, frankly, it's hard to find a shaman who wants to be able to channel Earthworm. Eagle and Bear and Wolf and all the other 'cool' animals took all the good shamans, and the rest would hold out for being more than the sole shaman of a pathetic creature, with the ability to burrow through the ground. No shaman, no tribe, nothing to do. So I found ways to amuse myself, sometimes try to help some people--it's how Coyote gets his shamen. But that didn't work; no one feared my wrath or wanted to admit they were helped by a worm. Then I found myself here, finally with a tribe member! So. Water. Maybe there's a lake somewhere? This place is weird. I'm definitely not anywhere I've been, or even know of."
((Cagers? When then cagers arrive? All I remeber is there is a sercuity gaurd I'm trying to kill.))They came in, saw you turning into a metal tube, and stuck you in the cage just in case.
'Right.... I'm not going on one of my mind trips and I really am a metal tube.... well this is weird. Let's try something else! Some more.... destructive.'[3-2] You turn into a crumpled chunk of metal...hey, you can't turn back!
Turn into a robot! A really strong robot with fingers that fire bullets like a SMG! Proceed to break out of the cage I'm in and start killing/shooting nearest people!
"Don't make me go all WWE up in yo asses, bitches!"[1v2+1] You jump into the cage, shouting about how you're going to go all WWE on crap.
Wrestle THEM into the cage!
Dammit. Be Un-Lost.[5] You find a rest stop near a rental car place. What luck, they seem to have large vehicles!
"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ESCAPE THIS TIME!"[4v1] Slap! He doesn't explode. Must not work on people. He does, however, fall down. [5v3] However, you are wrestled towards and just about into a cage.
Slappity slap that guy. Explode his face off.
"Very well. If your mind is not open to the word of our Lord, you have only yourself to blame. Goodbye."You wander off and find [4-1] an abandoned campground.
Leave, go look for some other noteworthy place of residence in the woods.
((Wait.... what the hell can i even do if I'm stuck being a crappy piece of metal?))In my experience, players can always surprise me. If nothing else, wait for a better mutation or figure out some way to go back to normal...or kill yourself, I guess.
(Like that worked in The Art Of Minimalism. Then again, I'm in Wonderlabd in that game now, so eh.)((Wait.... what the hell can i even do if I'm stuck being a crappy piece of metal?))In my experience, players can always surprise me.

Nuclear punch![2v2] The punch half fails but the nuclear connects. [4] They're mostly unaffected.
[I count myself as a winner. And remember kids, winners don't do drugs, they do hardcore genetic manipulation.](GreatWyrmGold is not responsible for small children obeying this logic.)
Rick investigates the new changes, shrugging. "Well, seemin' you may be right about that. You know, worms ain't so bad. You ever see that thar movie... Uh.. Hm... Tremor? ...Probably not, come to think on it, but it had giant worms that everyone done feared. You'in may be small, but that don't count nothin' for heart." Rick tries to see if he can sense high concentrations of water in the air, vapor or evaporated water, or whatever, that may lead him to a source of water."Ooh. What's a movie?"
Hey wait dude. You wanna get some of this mutagen? Because honestly killing you's kinda boring and I don't wanna do it anymore, so if you wanna go find some mutagen come with me, otherwise I'll just leave you alone. I gotta go ascend to my god's side or whatever I did."Um..." [5] You get up, a little woozy, and enter the building again. "Hey, can I get some more mutagen?" [4] "Um, sure. We've got a test scheduled for just about 10 minutes from now. Care to join?"
Off to find more mutagen!
Same as before. Tell them I was in a verybad accident.[6] You stumble onwards and into the hospital. Someone comes forward, offering to take you a clinic that specializes in cases like this. You get into the back of his van before you realize a couple reasons that this might be a bad idea.
RAGE through the cage and smash some skulls.[3-2] Ow!
"Alright then... You want to play that way? WE'LL PLAY THAT WAY! PIRATE POWERS, ACTIVATE! CONFUSING PUNCH, GO GO GO!"[6v5] "...CONFUSING PUNCH, GO GO GOOW!" You punch the people around them, sending them on an interesting trip. However, you also punch a wall, which turns out to be a bad idea.
Confusing punch everyone who keeps gosh darn grabbing me!
Test lightbender capabilities by making pretty rainbows in the air and spelling someone else's name with them.[2] You bend some colorful light. Pretty.
Break into a car and go for a joyride, zapping any sport balls I see along the way.[2] You sprint to a large automobile and are stymied by the door lock.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE into a new mutation![5,6] The dice just hate you. Mercy reroll: [2] Okay...nothing. Que cosa, hombre.
Mr. Normal seems slightly nervous at the sound of police sirens outside. Must be unused to excitement. "Why are we the taking of so long for beginning? Is there being a problem, doctor?"
"Um.... no..."
Another guy walks up to the desk and asks about an upcoming test.Just wait another turn, okay? You'll get your first mutations then!
Get myself stabilized, so I can stop all this overmutation.[3] You slow down your mutations.
EVIL EYE!Ah yes, one of those many derming-ready powers you've accumulated.
Regenerate while I wait for the test.You do so. Soon, you are brought in and prepare to be tested...
"Well huh. Wonder what all this is then." Rick asks himself as he pokes the spine if physically possible. If not possible, he attempts, but after a minute of futile attempting gives up. "Ah well. Hm.... I think I saw somethin' once, 'bout how moss grows on trees were ta water was. Or was it the sun.... Ah well." Rick shrugs and attempts to see if the trees have any moss growing on a side of them, and if so heads off in that direction.Your spine seems to be buried in your flesh. You can kinda feel it, though.
Use my magnetic powers to unlock the door, and drive awaaaaaaay![3-1] It seems that the lock is either plastic, or surrounded by metal enough that you can't move one without moving the other.
GTFO of there![4v5] A security guard tackles you.
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD into a new mutation.[2] No such luck.
Look for any abandoned supplies in the abandoned campground. Preferably something I could live in. If unavailable, stroll off to look for supplies elsewhere.[3] You find an old cooler (empty and broken), a pot, a few fire rings, some rotten firewood, a creek, three socks, a rusty little pocket knife...
It is time...This will be hilarious or sad. Probably both.
Become a superhero. You are the Falcon.
It is time...
Become a superhero. You are the Falcon.
Focus all the light into a giant heat beam a-la a magnifying glass on an ant.
"No' that I know of, no. Not tha' I know of." Rick attempts to get out of the lake, but instead on the shore of it, with the help of his water controlling powers. "I think I mah of got a tad too excited when I found this here lake."
[Man, I don't even know. A giant worm-thing with arm tentacles, hair, strange colored face, covered in orangeish-reddish feathers, and wing-membrane with the arm tentacles. I don't even. This is awesome, but I don't even. Wait, I don't have hair anymore, forgot.]
EHEHEHEHEHAHAHA
Laugh manaically while regenerating. Admire new appendages.
Test the extent of water dependency. How long do I need to be out of the water to feel woozy?
Eh, just punch the fucking window already.
((No! I wanna keep my phycho!))
Get so bored i get a new mutation and my mode lock disappears.
"Oh, so it looks like someone else wants to be beaten as well?! Alright, I'll oblige!"
Confusing Punch Mark II
EAT the damn cage. I'll get out of it somehow!
Name: Unknown
Age: Unknown
Appearance: Completely generic, wears a hoodie with the hood up.
Backstory: Unknown
Use cooks and Light-Heat thing to finish off the soup.[2-1] You sweep the beam across the room, causing glare off a shiny pot to blind you for a turn or so. “Argh!”
Grab a respirator, then fly out the window and into the city. Are there any nearby villains?You don’t see a respirator in the van, nor a window, not a way to fly.
Ask for bandage. And haemophilia medication.“Hey, can I have a bandage and some haemophilia medication?”
Heal shin.
Rick continues trying to get to shore with his new body with the aid of his water powers. "Is there any thang I can do to help you, little buddy? You done helped me out a lot with that thar cage, and I'm aimin' to return the favor."”Having a tribe would be nice. Maybe you could recruit one?
Do nothing! Let mutation happen naturally.[5] It sure does. You feel supernaturally strong...oh wait, you’re inanimate. Wow, the dice are just taunting you now.
Get out of the creek, follow it to something interesting.[1] You find yourself at a police station in a tiny town where you murdered someone and their police station has a creek flowing by it. They recognize you! Yes, despite glowing.
Respond to the question by punching the guy and driving off.[3v5] FALCON PAWNCH REDUX! You miss. [4-1] Despite the “big” guy grabbing the highest part of you he could reach--just above your legs--you manage to slip into the vehicle. It’s quite cramped, but you can drive. [3] Except that the keys aren’t in the car. (Unless I said that they were earlier, in which case let me know.)
CRAZY PUNCH EVERYONE! HAHAHAH![5v5-1] You punch the disoriented people, making them more so! Fun!
Does the cage go to the floor or ceiling? Try to go out through the top/bottom weak point.No, it’s like a dog cage, except much bigger.
"May I see one syringe? Is very interesting, I must take look." Surreptitiously slip one of the syringes into jacket pocket. "Ah yes, is very good test then, all adequate and normal."[2,4] “No, you cannot.” This doesn’t stop you from sneaking one off the shelves.
If sleight of hand doesn't work, whip out cell phone and start talking in unknown foreign language, occasionally interjecting English "Okay Suzie!" In other words, call superiors and ask for further instruction.
Yawn. Go to sleep.“Goodnight everyone.” You lie down and [5] enjoy a restful sleep.
seek more booze and cookies[2] “I DEMAND ALCIHOL AND COOKIE SNACKS!” “Um, no. Now tell me...how do you feel?”
You and Xantalos both....who ya talking to?
Say, I think I found the song for this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl3vxEudif8) Don't kill me!
Yeah, I can't see how either of your characters could get much physically weirder.Oh!
Oh, thought that was a hallucination. Melt a hole in the back of the van to let me escape.
Eat meaty bits that are doubtlessly around the kitchen intended for the soup, then burst out of the building with my square cube law'd super strength like goddamn godzilla.
GET MUTAGEN
HEAL
GET BANDAGES
Rick continues heading towards shore with help of water bendingx3. "Sure there little buddy, I'll be tryin' my best for that. How do I do that though, just ask someone? Also, you knowin' how I can stop these changes though? I'd rather not get any, well, weirder. Not that I supposin' I could, comparin' to normal people."
"Bros, you gonna pay!"
Teleport nearest scientist into hand. Shake them around until I can feed from their anger!
Pick up the guy by the neck and perform the ritual. Hopefully it helps me get the keus. If not, attempt pickpocketing.
Start to punch then again, and when I'm about to hit them, recoil and run away! This is for maximum confusion.
Give up and go quietly with the police, citing my right to remain silent and right to an attorney.
Wake up. See how i've changed.
I feel extremely sober, now wheres my booze?
continuously demand booze and/or cookies
Suddenly, Mr. Normal hears someone whispering hideous insults in the language of the Uncleland. Confused as to why someone would make a serum to do this, he quietly calls his superiors for further instructions.
I'm super strong.... BUT I"M A FREAKING LUMP OF METAL![1] You fail to escape this issue, and in fact begin to lose your mental capabilities.
Will the stupid mode lock out of existence!
(I'm a little confused about my status, I'll need an explanation before I can post my next action. By Einhanded do you mean I lost a hand? Do I teleport now? Does "crippling immunity" mean an immunity that cripples or an immunity to crippling? Sorry for asking twice, I just want to make sure I don't accidentally skip a turn.)(Um...Einhanded means you have one hand, but then I remembered your teleportation thingy and you didn't lose a hand. Same with unconsciousness. And as for the crippling immunity...um...what the heck DID I mean? Um...I'll just reroll. You're dyslexic. Wait, I think that might have been what I meant. Somehow.)
Xanmyral and Unholy_Pariah need to post turns.
discover beer bottle in inventory, walk over to window and throw it at someone then run.
YEAH
GO FIND SOME CRIME
Use unconsciousness as an excuse to heal.
"Well... That'in might work... But anyhow, I think this'in was caused by that thar scientist place, you know, the one you busted me outta. I'm thinkin' they put somethin' in me that's causin' me ta change all the time. Next moment, I might look like somethin' completely different soon if'in I don' stop them... I don' really know how to stop it." Rick tries to will himself to stop changing, if such a thing is possible. If not, he simply sighs and investigates his immediate surroundings. "Should'in we have a place to stay, I'm suppose'in... This might work."
"Radical, bros! I can smash buildings and shit! Wack."
Attempt again to escape cage, since obviously the rubble damaged it enough to let me break free.
Try to find an abnormally large bicycle, and lighten the cops should I see them.
((Did i even have mental capabilities in the first place lol?))
Will harder! Will until the equivalent of my brain explodes! I will get the mode lock to disappear!
"Actually, that's what I would say if I was a criminal. Which I most certainly am not. I am merely practicing for an acting class. I don't even know why I'm here, really. Look, pretty lights!"
Distract the people, secretary included, with pretty lights and slip out of the area.
Lime, being under great stress instinctively start stalking in pirate!
"Argh! I'm in a great bit o' trouble 'ere!"
He then tries to explode all the bricks around him by touching them all!
Get out of rubble
..."Very well. Be the proceeding to of the extraction point in local forest surroundings. You will be the waiting of for our contact there."
"Very good."
Flipping the phone closed, Mr. Normal heads into the woods to search for the extraction point.
discover beer bottle in inventory, walk over to window and throw it at someone then run.
Try to wriggle out of rubble. Pray for helpful mutations.Same here
Name: MayAny relation to another well-known May?
Name: MayAny relation to another well-known May?
Which resolves out to Maybe.Name: MayAny relation to another well-known May?
No. By that I mean yes.
Which resolves out to Maybe.Name: MayAny relation to another well-known May?
No. By that I mean yes.
Regain consciousness.
The dice do not like me apparently.
"Hurm.... Well, I'mma thinkin' we won't be findin' no new followers here. Thinkin' we should head to some place more full 'o people, things probably died down by now. Although there was that thunderin' a while back, but I'm sure it was just nothin'. Hm... First though, Imma gonna mark this place." Rick takes his now useless shoes and ties the strings together, then tries to toss it on a branch to get it to hang there. "There, now if'in we wanna come back we just gotta look for tha shoes. Now to try and find civilization, and people to show the proper way of the worm."
Use snout to sniff out living beings. Kill them.
Dive into a creek (or, if possible, a nearby, larger river) and swim downstream, preferably away from here.
Try to wriggle out of rubble. Pray for helpful mutations.
MOOOOOOOOORE willing the mode lock out of existence!
Now I need two flavors of flavor.
"I say, we're in a deuced pickle here!"
"Bro, can the fancy-talk, we gotta ACT!"
Logic: Consider the situation
Passion: Chuck Logic through the cage
DRIVE OFF! Maybe use my magnetic powers to make the Gas Station blow up or something somehow.
Try to wriggle out of rubble. Pray for helpful mutations.
Same here
Taking his handkerchief out of his pocket, Mr. Normal finds he can now scarcely read the intricate print on his operations map. The landmarks were still legible, but there was no way of telling which way the map was supposed to be held without reading words. With no other alternative, he destroys the map and looks for someone in these woods to give him directions to a certain landmark.
sift through the rubble looking for a safe, use super hearing to crack rotary lock, loot everything

Gender: Female
Description: Long black hair and has eerie purple eyes.
Bio: She loves pain.... it feels great.... but what she likes most.... is making others feel good too!
[Eight? Wut?]
"I can't control mah changes little guy, they just 'appen and will keep 'appening till I figure out a way ta make 'em stop sadly. You're ta only creature talkin' to me, and I've been with ya since you found me." Rick tries to dispel the idea that he's been seeing another totem on the side. "Now then, lets see iffin' I can find us outta here and into some place with livin' people..."
Make a deal with the nearest aetherial presence to get me into a better situation.
Go kill something. Wonder why govenment agents haven't tried to capture us yet.
HINT HINT
WOO! Now, let's see if I can't find a motel or something. Or maybe a bank without security to rob.
Insert amusing but lengthy dialogue
Logic: Start digging out rubble
Passion: Start smashing
Spoiler: Note (click to show/hide)
Use telepathy to avoid the police by knowing where they will search for me! Look for a more important criminal around town.
Search for an ambulance. One must have unbroken limbs before having Vengeance.
Wear watch, use money to buy some beer, get drunk and mutate.
"Ees no woory, mister, very good. Just... how you say? Prosthetic. Very good prosthetic." With the ranger reassured by the polite and unthreateningly awkward demeanor, Mr. Normal set off in the indicated direction. Being cautious, he does not try his teleportation, instead choosing to walk... happening upon a large wormy creature. He tries to approach to get a better look without being seen.
Maika
Lady with long black hair and eerie violet eyes. She loves pain and making others feel "good," which might be sadism or nymphomania. Hard to tell.
[I'm amused by the fact that there are only three First Generation... Uh... Exceptionals, that's a good word for us, left. Just Rick, the old guy, and the cultist. I think I got out the best of the deal, at least in that none of Rick's mutations are actively harmful that is. He's gotten the strangest though, I believe, or at least the furthest from human.Xan's pretty inhuman; he doesn't even have limbs anymore.
Also, I have to ask, when they were giving him the Serum, did they take the one vial that said "Warning: May cause side effects of a weirdness magnet" or something? The stuff that's happening to him are hilarious.I don't think they knew enough to label them so specifically.
Also his head is still green, if that was to turn him completely white.Good catch!
Also gotta know, what do you think when you roll this stuff up? The rolls are just getting weird with how they key into situations.]Usually I think, "Hm. Interesting. How can I make this come out in a way that fits?"
"I mean engage in fisticuffs with this rubble?"
[5,5] You see an image of a strange being, like a headless, tailed humanoid made of marble with irregular, wirelike lines of silver in the “skin”, covered in armor of some strange red metal. A pair of rough, rounded wings rise out of its back, and horns out of its shoulders. Where its neck would be is a single red eye with a yellow pupil It carries a massive thing that looks like a tortoise’s shell; as you look, you see a thick, muttering snakelike head poking out of one end. As you look at it, bile fills your mouth. Behind it is some sort of strange fortress; near it is a pale snakelike creature with several heads, and a clawlike hand on its tail, surrounded with a strange buzzing; it is wearing armor of polished steel.

booze?...
Hahahahahahaha, oh man that was a good laugh. Never change Xantalos. Also, not sure if that's your god specifically, as who's to say there's just one? Just do the damn ritual man, lets find out! I want all of my fellow First Generation Exceptionals to be awesome!I did though! For 3 turns or so!
I think it needs longer to use. Head into the forest and try it, people won't bother you unless they want to then.Huh. Editing action.
Also... I think so? I swear I remember GWG saying something about you getting another ritual, but who knows, I might just be thinking that.
Also, I'm kind of tempted to sig that, I really am. Its definitely not something you'd catch someone saying to you every day.Feel free.
You got a new one, not sure if you noticed.Hahahahahahaha, oh man that was a good laugh. Never change Xantalos. Also, not sure if that's your god specifically, as who's to say there's just one? Just do the damn ritual man, lets find out! I want all of my fellow First Generation Exceptionals to be awesome!I did though! For 3 turns or so!
Or did I get a different ritual and not notice?
Gah! I'd already written yours up!I think it needs longer to use. Head into the forest and try it, people won't bother you unless they want to then.Huh. Editing action.
Also... I think so? I swear I remember GWG saying something about you getting another ritual, but who knows, I might just be thinking that.
Fly/slither away from here to the woods nearby.
Perform ritual.
Where am I?
Rick investigates his the weird changes in his body. "I don't rightly know myself little buddy, I'm thinkin' this fella needs mah help for somthin'. You alright in thar?" He responded to the worm, before turning towards the giant snake and statue. "Well, uh, thank'ye kindly there pal, and I'd be more than happy tah help yah out. What would I be 'elping you with though?"
-amusing conversation again snipped-
Both: Dig out of the rubble with new Super Strength!
((Woot. Now I can walk up to stores and teleport their inventories onto the nearest person's head!))
Keep driving and looking for a bank.
"Yes? You were saying? What am I wanted for questioning about, anyway?"
Ask, then make eye contact again.
Get treatment.
buy beer, get drunk, mutate
Mr. Normal continues to observe, remaining undetected.
Call out to see if anyone is there.
"Gettin' better?" Rick questioned quizzically, but headed down the road at a good clip due to the urgency in the voice. "Hold on in there little guy, seems we need to book it for a bit. If'in you like, I'll try and find a better spot for yah once we 'kin rest. Today is jus' full of surprises it seems." The last part he muttered more to himself. Seemed just a while ago he was mopping floors, now he's a shaman and helping out a giant snake. Strangely he's taking this rather well in stride.
Absorb power from the sunlight!
Move toward the brightest of the 'beacons'.
Get off at the exit! There has to be something of interest there...
-snip-
Free passion!
"Alright, alright, geez! I give up already, guys. Stop shooting me, will you? I mean, honestly. I'll put on a blindfold if that makes you feel better."
Raise hands, give self up to the cops.
Wait for treatment.
turn around and knee that asshole in the balls
Knowing this might be related to the lab, and thus of interest to HQ, Mr. Normal sneakily follows the American-drawling worm creature.
Also, he vomits on a nearby rock to see what it does.
So what's the difference between toxic smoke and toxic fog?One is smoke and one is fog.
-amusing lunch talk snippedPassion's a bit too unconscious to make any lunch plans.
Go get lunch! Find a nice cafe that serves healthy salads and unhealthy burgers.
So what's the difference between toxic smoke and toxic fog?
Continue going toward the beacon!
If anyone tries to capture me, give them the money I still have in excange for them going away.
Rick continues to head down the road, attempting to use his wings if possible to aid him by either gliding, or flying if possible. He grumbles to himself for wherever he's needing to go for being so far, and that he has to always go somewhere and do something. He wishes he could catch a rest for a moment, maybe get something to eat or drink, but always busy it seems. May as well see if his wings actually work to amuse himself as he moves along.
Shift into a weird imaginary dimension. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHN6AViJAvI)
Walk into the bank, and check to see if any money is in sight.
"We'll see how things land eventually, officer. No sense in getting hasty, you know?"
Get treated for being shot repeatedly.
"I'll save you, bro!"
Slap Passion around until he wakes up.
smash my beer bottle on his head then turn around and buy a replacement.
Mr. Normal suddenly feels very disorganized. He remembers his goal, but not how he planned to reach it. So, confused, he tries to call his superiors without getting heard by the worm.
Do anything to assist my treatment.
Go into the building.
Wake up.
"What's going on? Where am I?"
"Hm... Kill somethin'? Well..." Rick shrugged as he went to go check out what exactly he's suppose to attack. "If'in this will help you I suppose..." His voice was rather unsure, although how he's making this sound is even more unsure because he has a worm head. Best not to dwell on such things though.
Use my right to a phone call to phone up my lawyer and ask her to get over here and represent me and stuff. Make damn sure to keep self blindfolded during the meeting with her if she's available.
Punch a teller IN THE FACE. If anyone pulls a gun, teleport it out of their hands.
So Passion is awake enough. Time to use this conversation for real now.
{s}"Are you well?"
"I'm cool, bro. Hey, it's lunchtime- what say we get some grub?"
"A nice crisp salad would set me right."
"Rabbit food, bro? Lame-o. A burger would be totally righteous."
"That stuff will kill you."
"Ain't killed me yet, yo!"
Go get lunch! Find a nice cafe that serves healthy salads and unhealthy burgers. Logic will carry Passion if he's not awake enough to move.
attempt to shank the guy with my broken bottle until he leaves or is wounded to such an extent that he is forced to leave, pay for my beer and buy some pretzels to snack on.
(wait, I can speak in tongues?)
Tell the doctor in ancient Greek the story of Medusa.
The worm thing was airborne, no way he could keep up with it now. And he felt the sudden need to sow discontent amongst Americans, despite this being strictly a retrieval mission. With this in mind, he goes looking for the kind of rural people who might harbor anti-institutional sentiments, that live in the woods. The CEO probably wouldn't get mad for him taking a little initiative before extraction.
Flip it under me. Use power absorbed from the sun to crush it.
"Wha-what in tarnations is that thing?" Rick just managed to drawl out before mortal combat started. "Cripes, what in tha world!?" Rick attempts to lead the thing towards a source of water, then use said water lethally, probably by creating a bubble of water around its head forcing it down into its lungs. While at it, use the water to hold it down if there's enough. Attempt to use hidden power of Moderately Usefulness![5v1]

Is there really anything to do at this point?

God dammit.
Walk over and get myself a cup of water. Toss the cup away, and throw the water at someone. Anyone. Maybe a security guard or something.

Oh, well. I was hoping to run into those two yokels in that cabin that someone bumped into earlier.
Mr. Normal, heartened by the pickup tracks he found, continues searching for American rural people in these woods who might harbor anti-government feelings.

"Priest." It spoke in serendipity, so saying supposedly some succor unto it.”What? WHAT? What are you saying, Rick?”
"That is me, the answer to the question." Priest spoke, it investigated its body carefully, trying to take ginger care of the wounds and bleeding. "Yes... Ndeitosael, a Priest of. We have a task of Ndeitosael, we must consecrate an altar so that he may rest with us, to tabernacle unto our presence. Blood is required, of yours and mine it must be present, matrimony of life's blood. Yet... I fear I will not have much else to give at the going rate." It spoke as well as it could in its present state. "A house of healing is required, but for the sake of one I shall move on. Come, we must go."
It raises itself up as well as it can, investigating its cloth raiment. Tattered, hardy cloth, the bottom half forming something of a parted robe with the rips, the sleeves similarly ripped to accommodate its dexterous limbs and the wings attached to them, just hanging straps as if for decoration. There was something in its pocket on the front, it could feel it. Confused moving. There was a twing in the back of its mind, as if it should be familiar, drawing feelings of kindness from the creature. "Hello little one, I see you in there. You are a friend--Is a friend." It echoed the last part in similar tone and pitch, as if its voice rewound and replayed yet said something else.
Feeling satisfied in its self analysis, Priest looked around to gather its bearings in its surroundings.[/spoiler]
[Surprised I lived through that, to be frank. Figured I should make the character a bit more entertaining to write for while I'm at it.](Neat, thanks. Although, frankly, the play of Worm v. Ndeitosael was pretty interesting all on its own.)
Get healed, then leave the hospital.“I gotta get out of here!”
YES. Wait until someone arrives with a gun, and teleport it into my hands. Shoot them, and anyone else who tries to attack me.You lean against a wall, adjusting your clothing. A few police officers arrive. You snatch one’s gun and [2v2] graze his shoulder. He stops, causing a pileup in the entrance. [4v3-1] You hit an armed cop in the chest and [6] steal another’s gun as it’s firing, disorienting you for a moment. The one remaining, armed officer [1] shoots one of his comrades. The other one flees into the bank. [6v3] A bullet flies straight through the body of the armed police officer. Now what?
"Ah. Maybe I can blow the whistle on these mutation people? I'm pretty sure what they did wasn't legal. Failing that, I suppose prison might be preferable to the Ward. I don't like the Ward."“Ah. Maybe I can blow the whistle on these mutation people? I'm pretty sure what they did wasn't legal. Failing that, I suppose prison might be preferable to the Ward. I don't like the Ward."
"Hey, wait, how can they convict me of turning somebody to stone? How do they know it was I who even did it? Also, I have absolutely no control over this ability, and I had just received it at the time I turned the guy to stone. It was kind of an accident."
Speak!
(My status insists that I am still caged)Nice catch.
"I will have the house salad with thousand island dressing, please. With a side of anger... wait, what? I mean garlic bread."“Thank you. Would you like a drink?”
"Hook me up with the double bacon cheeseburger combo, bro."

Wander off and try to find the nearest hospital.
Snapping out of his addled state temporarily, Mr. Normal considers his options. Thinking fast, he begins talking like an utterly non threatening and oblivious hiker.“Um, helluh! Ah’m jus’ a normal, harml’ss hiker...”
If they don't buy it, he decides he must teleport away.

"Hmm, interesting. I trust you all are recording this? My employer would be very dissatisfied with me if I do not give you any satisfactory results."
Try to find out the nature of these spikes, as in how exactly they grew out of my body and how the serum caused them to do so.

You look for a hospital. [5] You find a free clinic.
And then Rick's spirit moved to an identical janitor body, ready to save the world.
Anyway, any ideas when next turn will be up?
Great!
The worm creature cocks its head. "Rick? Rick is a janitor. I'm not a janitor." It left it at that, as if that sufficiently explained its point. The accent the creature once had seems all but gone, just faint traces found here and there. "Come now, a house of healing we must go find, for all in it doth our hope reside. Blood is nice, but life is better, I'd rather live than bleed like a fetcher." The creature makes its way towards where it believes a house of healing, a hospital a voice said in its head, might be. It doesn't take any measures hiding its appearance, but doesn't go out of its way to be seen either, just simply heading to where it wants to be.[4] You find a hospital.
Steal a compressed air tank and a mask and take off to survey the city.[3-1] You can’t get back inside.
Finish off the officers. Collect any armor that fits, as well as any ammo, and leave, after checking their police car for anything useful.[5v2] Dead. They’re not wearing armor, but you manage to improvise a covering by buttoning shirts together. As for the ammo, they have surprisingly little. (Lucky d100 roll of 4...) And, finally, [5] the police car contains a number of confiscated items from what seems to be either a terrorist group, gang, or small army. And a knitting club. [3] You stitch together some suits of armor and make a suit to fit you, take some weapons and ammo, and ride out.
"You see, this is what I'm talking about. This kind of thing happens all the time. Eyes pop out, new mouths appear, that kind of thing, I can manipulate light and weather, that sort of thing. It's like magic, if magic was less useful than you'd think. But prison does sound like a better idea than the Ward - at least in prison I wouldn't be locked up indefinitely."You replace the eye.
Put the eye back in if it can be done easily enough. Don't try to force it back in. Speak.

Fear. He had not felt the feeling in a long while, and it snapped him out of his antagonism. Yes, fear. This operation was quickly, (how do they say?) going South. Under cover of invisibility, Mr. Normal escapes by whatever means necessary and searches urgently for his extraction contact. At least his nondescript features would prevent him being identified if he ran into more, but first he'd have to succeed in running from this lot.[4,1] The good news: You sneak silently. The bad news: You sneak straight at a Suit. You are stuck in a van.

If I were you, I'd go for one of the other two. Becoming less conspicuous seems to help survival in this game, statistically. And the other two sound damn useful.MALLEABLE FEATURES BEST POWER
To be honest malleable features would require a fair bit of time and some good rolls to get working well. To be fair all the options are shit. I know I read the Metamorphica for fun. I suppose the anthormophisim is not very useful as well given it is based all on the dice... screw it do whatever.If I were you, I'd go for one of the other two.

Perhaps GWG wouldn't be so extreme as to require a 4 roll to look remotely like what you're trying to look like.As long as it's reasonable and I'm not in a foul mood.
((I think I might be invincible, faze through bullets and clubs, Can I do that?))Try it. I'll tell you this much: It probably wouldn't be fatal. Well, it would be less fatal than being shot or clubbed. If you weren't unlucky.
