Call out to see if anyone is there.
“Hey! Is anyone out there?”
”Hey! I got a live one!” “Where?” “Over here!”Some rubble shifts.
“Oh my god, what happened to you?”
[5,5] You feel a bit hungry, and suddenly switch something on. It feels a bit filling...
"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.
You slither quickly down the road. The worm grumbles a little but overall seems to consent.
[3] No new mutations.
Absorb power from the sunlight!
Move toward the brightest of the 'beacons'.
You start slithering towards the bright beacon. You should be there next turn.
[3+2,6;3+1;6] In the meantime, you’ve got some mutatin’ to do. You sprout a tigerlike right foreleg, your skin grows shiny, and accidentally fire off a ray.
-----
Get off at the exit! There has to be something of interest there...
You do. It’s a fairly small town, but it does have a bank, a post office, a bunch of apartments, some stores, etc. What do you find “of interest”?
[6] Again? You feel funny.
-snip-
"You'd be nothing without me! You'd be extinct, you'd cease to be!"
"I'm so tired of your nagging!"
"And I'm so tired of your bragging!"Sorry. It just...fit.
Free passion!
“Passion!” [3+2] Logic hurls chunks of rubble off the building, incidentally knocking over one emergency worker, and finds Passion’s unconscious form! He turns to the EMTs for help, but they’re a bit nervous about helping a super-strong faceless skeletal being which is WAY stronger than it should be.
[3+1,1;6+1,1] (Well, twice in one turn.) Logic feels a new ability; Passion coughs up some greenish fog.
"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.
“Alright, come with us.” One cop comes to you and blindfolds you. You’re handcuffed and brought into the station. “Once we confirm that turning a cop to stone counts as homicide, we’re adding that to your record to. From the looks of it, you’re going away for a long, long time...”
[1]
New powers, save me! They ignore your call.
-----
Wait for treatment.
They start setting your bones.
[3] You mutter something in nonsense.
turn around and knee that asshole in the balls
[1v1] It’s hard to say which was a bigger failure: Your knee or his dodge. Suffice it to say that both of you ended up screwing up horribly, resulting in a slapstick bar fight.
[6] You black out for a few seconds. You feel chilly.
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.
[6] Mr. Normal is very very sneaky. This is hard to overshoot, so I won't.
The vomit stinks, that's what it does. Also, you're starting to feel a bit hungry. Hm, about lunchtime.
[4] You feel...off. Who wants a new psychological disorder?

NPC Actions:
It’s late, most have been covered in individuals. There is, however, one exception.
News stories about these events start hitting the public.
Oh, yeah, and it’s approaching lunchtime.
