Grab him with my prehensile tail and maul him with my various arms. Secrete numbing slime all over him. Consume him.



Continue using water powers to drown the strange creature, trying to create intense pressure on it from the water while also still trying to force the water inside the creature's lungs. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!



WINNER: Rick!

As Xan bleeds out, his body begins to glow and warp. It shifts into a weird shape, elongated with a humanoid torso thing at one end. The “arms” split into four flylike limbs, and the puny head also becomes flylike; the body stretches into a tail, before contracting, thickening, and growing a pair of fly-wings. It smells of burning flesh and is surrounded with the sounds of distant screams. The air around it shimmers, and out comes a strange goop, which hardens into a strange coraley thing around its torso, like armor, and a snake with a big, spiny head that wraps its tail around one arm. It--the original it--looks at you. Greetings, High Priest of Ndeitosael. I can’t help but notice that there seems to be another...entity which seems to be helping you. As a fellow servant, how about we just keep this little secret between the two of us, hm?

”Whoa, I heard that! Wait, WHAT are you?”

Rick feels a new ability. He feels the first telepathic voice contacting him. This ability should be of great use. Simply converse with someone, and they’ll trust you like a friend, confidant, mentor, and/or famous person.

And now for your next task. As you should know, Ndeitosael is attempting to manifest in the world. This isn’t as simple as it sounds. Hence, in order to prepare for the manifestation of Ndeitosael, we need...energy. To start with, we need a properly-anointed altar, blessed with demon blood, your blood, and demonic magic. Thankfully, the blood of the demon just summoned has been charged with demonic magic, so you just need to have it bleed on an appropriate altar some and you bleed on it some. Got it? Good.


”Say, could you explain what’s going on?



-->


Is there really anything to do at this point?


Um...

[5,1] Your nose...was already missing, so you can’t lose it again. Your skull is resphaped; it gains a bony crest several inches high on the top.


-----



Meet with lawyer, discuss the case while blindfolded, ask if I should plead insanity or inform them of my condition and bank on that.


Your lawyer arrives.

Spoiler: Awkward Conversation (click to show/hide)



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.


You do so. [1] With absolutely horrible accuracy. You manage to spray yourself in the face!

You hear sirens.



Forget the rescue teams, there is lunch to be had!


You head to lunch. The restaurant across the seat seats the two of you. Several customers move away.

A waitress eventually arrives, seeming to be trying to stay absolutely as far away as policy allows. “Hi, I’m Sam, and I’ll be your waitress today. What would you like to order?”

[3+1,2;3+1,2] Interesting.

Anyways, Logic feels a new set of thoughts, words, and actions which would presumably accomplish something. As for Passion, he stares at the menu, trying to decide on a burger. His image wavers and vanishes, save for some odd distortions. Not that Passion notices.

wake up and kick the guy in the nuts, buy and consume pretzels whilst drinking my beer.


[6] Awake! With a headache! [5v2] Guy kicked and in pain! You don’t feel fuller or drunker.

[6] “Boo-yah!” As you shout, you feel your skin bristle. You look at yourself and note that your skin has grown covered with thick, bony plates with short, stout spines on them. Sucks for your clothes, but cool. You get back to your drink; your skin returns to normal.



Oh, well. I was hoping to run into those two yokels in that cabin that someone bumped into earlier.


Who says you won't? Also, thanks for the idea...


Quote

Mr. Normal, heartened by the pickup tracks he found, continues searching for American rural people in these woods who might harbor anti-government feelings.


[1] You find several men in black suits. They don’t look like yours. One looks at you.

“Who are you and what are you doing?”

[7] You instantly start noting weak points in random people and things.



Continue to be treated.


[6] You’re evidently good enough to let out, because they give you a pair of crutches and put you out on the street.

[8] You feel a ritual.

NPC Actions:

This section has been eliminated. It’s not really needed. It’s been replaced with:

General Notes:

It’s noon. People are aware of the “mutants” or “freaks” or “monsters” roaming the town and surrounding countryside. Rumors suggest that there are even government agents investigating the things.

And a new experiment, probably the last one, begins.


-----


Five test subjects and a single scientist with five syringes stand in the woods near the rubble of the facility.

“We had just started synthesizing the fourth iteration of the teratomorphic serum when the...structural failure occurred. Thank you for arriving for your appointments; this will replace what you initially came to test. Let us know how you feel.”

Each takes the syringe and injects themself.

The new batch is a bit...different. They can choose a single mutation out of the three to get. Neat!

Spoilers will now play a bigger part in turns.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Wander off and try to find the nearest hospital.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

It had defeated him. That ... thing, that traitor underseving of the true God's gifts, had MURDERED him, it's prophet on this miserable planet! IT wass almost beyond comprehension. How could he fail with the backing of a god behind him?
Unless...
The Enemy.

Xan felt his true nature - what others called a soul - being pulled from his fading corpse by some irresistable force, like a fisher on a line. He did not resist; this was not the first time he had recieved a summons like this.
He followed the sting to see where it led.

Of the road ahead, he comprehended only flashes.

High noon. A desert. A flash, and the sand is millions of wriggling blue worms.

The middle of the ocean. A blob of flesh floats by, another, and more and more until the surface os covered by them, which stretch upward to form eeire arches and structures of flesh.

A flying machine, all metal and steel. A pair of thrashing legs suddenly sprouts from the wings, sending it into a tailspin. The people inside it bloat up to enormous lengths and begin to glow like fireflies.

Visions of the World under the True God.


At last, after travelling for what seemed eternity, he came to a clearing in a thick wood. Flitting things danced at the corners of his eyes and sung mad songs of mushrooms and dandelions as they ushered him towards a figure sitting at the edge of a pond. It turned toward him and his visage -

- how -

When Xan woke, the figure was sitting, looking out into the now-lake. It scooped up a pebble, tossed it out into the middle, then patted the ground beside it.

Sit.

Hesitantly, he did. The figure continued staring out into the lake, and began speaking to him.

I have watched the world for a long time, you know. Looking at the people there, watching them change and grow and die. I have watched them for eternity and longer. I can wait no more.

I must go there, guide them to the proper path. They are close to acheiving eternal stillness - what your kind call immortality. This must not happen.

I will send you back, Xan, but you must do as I command you when you are incarnated. I must reach the world before my enemy. I will not allow failure.

The figure flicked a hand at him, seeming to blur into multiple shapes, all indistinct.

I grant you my favor again, Xan. Do not disappoint your god.

GO.


And with a rush of air, he was sent careening back. Everything in it's entirety rushed by him, going far too fast to be possible yet so slow he was not moving at all. Then -

Whump.
Flesh.
Lungs. A heart. Human body.
I am returned.

He looked up from where he was sitting, hunched over.
My enemy is out there somewhere. He will try to bring the Enemy into the world.
He must not succeed.


Respawn (if GM allows it) in a body similar to my last one, in a location by the original testing chambers.

"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!

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.

If they don't buy it, he decides he must teleport away.

In case you missed it, here's my sheet:
Name: For M. Al
Gender: Male
Description: A tall, lean man dressed up in a suit and tie.
Bio: Sent here by the Gen TL Man organization, more out of common courtesy as the last experiments had failed drastically rather than to benefit themselves directly. Basically he's just another faceless, mindless drone brainwashed by the company.
