Run.
You quickly shuffle out of there at about walking speed...
[2] Everything seems slow, even your mutational rate.
"Hey guys, what's- Fred? Man Fred is that you? Dude whaddup? Check me out!"
Greet police friend Fred. Flex various muscles.
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?"
[4] What's going on is that you glanced angrily at Fred's partner for pointing a gun at you, and starts muttering gibberish and shaking a bit. Neat!
(Oh gods, why is dermonster getting all these dermy mutations?)
GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT POND
GO FIND SONEONE ELSE AND STAB THEM TO RELIEVE MY FEAR
You 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!
[4] Your toes turn into and shoulders grow some woody tendrils, which promptly split off into branches and worm themselves into the soil. Aaah...
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.
[2] Your most recent mutation worsens.
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.
[1] You ponder this as major mutations completely fail to occur.
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.
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.]
"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."
[2] No new mutant powers arrive to save the day.
"For the love of God, WHO IEEPS THROWING ME!"
Glow powers, ACTIVATE!
You glow, girl! Only not, because "Bruce" is a very odd woman's name. You do, however, glow.
[2] And not mutate. And get thrown into a trash can.
NPC Actions:
The cops out front look at each other fearfully and open fire. [2v1+1,5v1+1,6v5+1] By almost dodging out of the way of one bullet, he dodges into another and almost a third. His right arm was grazed, [6] and that bullet to the lung ignored.
Elsewhere, a paralegal screams, [4] attracting a security guard to the scene. He draws his taser and [3v3-1] hits a root of the rooty guy. No noticeable effect.
On the building, a young woman sprints down a fire escape. [6] Displaying excellent parkour skills, she parkours all the way to the bottom area, before jumping down and twisting her ankle on the last bit...right near Crazy Joe.
Meanwhile, inside, the original room has been abandoned save for one technician, watching the guy trying to tug a worm out of the keyhole and wondering how it got in there. In the hall, a stressed intern throws a little glowing doll someone left out into a trash can.

Yay, first Google Docs update! Nothing happened which would make me need to have done that, but meh.
In other news, I've decided to bring the waitlisters in before the turns hit double digits, so would some of you kindly take a stupid risk?
