Fly/slither away from here to the woods nearby.
Perform ritual.
[1-2] You manage to get stuck. Okay, that really kinda sucks. [5-2] You crawl forward, towards a crack in the rubble. Once light falls on you, you feel better; absorbing it some feels great!
[1+2,7+1,2] No mutations, though.
You slither for the woods and perform a ritual. You get a sudden, vague image of the surrounding area lit up with a bunch of points of light.
Where am I?
You are in a pile of rubble, it seems. A bit with some breathing room, but not much else.
[6,3,4] You sprout a scorpionish tail and feel a little light-headed.
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?"
”I suppose...” You turn towards the place where you saw the statue and snake, but they’ve firmly vanished. You hear the voice.
Go down the road, and quickly! Oh, he’s getting better. Don’t exhaust yourself.[6,4,6] You kinda blink; the world seems brighter. This is substantiated by a glowing segment of your lower body.

-amusing conversation again snipped-
Both: Dig out of the rubble with new Super Strength!
(You’ve already had super strength, we’ve just both forgotten it.)
[4+3+1] Soon enough, there isn’t rubble around you. Still rubble above you, though. [3,1] Logic manages to slip out, except a leg, but Passion is trapped.
Again.
[6,3;3,3] Logic feels something.
((Woot. Now I can walk up to stores and teleport their inventories onto the nearest person's head!))
Are you sure it works like that?
Keep driving and looking for a bank.
[4-1] You see a town. Maybe there’s a bank there? Better get off at the exit.
"Yes? You were saying? What am I wanted for questioning about, anyway?"
Ask, then make eye contact again.
“You’re wanted in part for your connection to a series of kidnappings and murders over the past month and in part for connection to more recent offenses, such a--” The cop is interrupted by turning to stone. The others, catching on, close their eyes and start shooting. They’ve evidently decided to count “turning officers to stone” as “lethal force” and are responding in kind.
[6-2v4;6-2v3] Several bullets from the exceptionally lucky cops hit you. About half graze you, but the rest strike more-or-less on-target. You’re suffering from acute lead poisoning, not a healthy condition.
-----
Get treatment.
You plead with the EMTs to do their jobs. They’re a bit insulted by your implication that they wouldn’t.
[1] No mutations.
buy beer, get drunk, mutate
[6] You find a bar to buy beer at.
“I’ve got a lot of money and want to blow it all on booze!” A big guy behind you decides to give you a blunt lesson on prudence, with his fist.
[6v1] You get punched firmly in the head; the guy shouts in pain. [5-1+2] You feel okay, though. You must have had too much alcohol before.
[1] No mutations.
Mr. Normal continues to observe, remaining undetected.
Hm. The guy seems to be talking to himself.
[3] You vomit a bit. Useful mutation, no?
