"Of course I called the ambulance," said Arlene. "But not for..." She didn't know his name. "Not for this man. He does not wish to receive professional medical attention." She didn't sound very sure of herself at all, after all, what if he really needed it? Never mind that, though. "However, I suspect that he has a severe mental illness, and he is in need of a mental hospital. He doesn't have anywhere to go. I'm not sure what to do, and if you can provide any help in that respect, I would owe you greatly. Or, he would. Never mind the food." She said all this loudly enough for James to hear, because she didn't see why she should care that he heard; it was the truth, wasn't it? "As for the sword," she went on, "I have no clue. I asked."

Finally the crowd thinned, and Dwayne took in gasp after gulping gasp of cold air. He hoped the crowd would keep in its frenzied state, maybe trample the man he'd bitten until the bite was too hard for investigators to see. After a while he got the sense to shit his mouth so people couldn't see his sharp teeth. Get away. Get away. There's so many people there. They won't find out. They'll never find out. He wandered for a long time, slinking in alleys and trying to look inconspicuous. He came across Central Park after God-knows how long of walking just to get away.

I'm sorry for the short replies. I'm trying to bulk them up now, but I'm not sure how much I can really contribute to the plot with extraneous things. I'll try to edit out any grammar errors I catch too, but please don't be too hard on me, I have the eyesight of an earthworm.

Arlene nodded. Of course that was a good idea, it simply hadn't occurred to her. "I would very much appreciate it," she said; the sound of sirens was starting to make her nervous and fidgety. She wasn't sure what the paramedics would think of guy with a sword, and two people helping him despite the quite obvious rampage that had just occurred. She would prefer to be at home or stealing a few anxiety pills. She stepped back to give more space for the checkup and pulled the ziplock bags out of her sweater. The reactions had stopped, so they weren't keeping her warm anymore; she found a trash can and tossed them in. "Uh..merry Christmas," she mumbled. "Not that I care for Christmas. Just thank you for helping, yeah." She was shivering now. Damn her body for being defenseless against Mother Nature without inorganic chemical reactions.

The noise, the noise... How much more could he take? Why was everyone shoving past Dwayne? Why did the woman's singing make him feel so dreadfully uncomfortable? Oh, yes, of course, he'd chosen the worst possible spot to get his thoughts together. Idiot, he thought viciously to himself. Get out. Get out. He turned around. Too late, the crowd had thickened since his arrival. He clutched his head and groaned, the blood pounding in his head. The medication only worked to a degree, and its wonders evaporated now. On top of all of this, he was starting to feel weak, although he assumed it was part of the ridiculous stress reaction. He bared his teeth in an attempt to make a little personal bubble, to no avail. He tried to shove out of the crowd in the opposite direction. A wave of nausea passed over him. Images blurred together. No. No, no, no, don't space out, no, not now.
A man bumped into him. He couldn't help it. It wasn't out of meanness, just a reflex, but the damage was done. Dwayne had bitten the person on their upper arm, and his filed teeth had easily torn open the skin. It elicited a surprised, angry yell, and he cowered. Get out before it takes effect on him. It felt like a stone had dropped in his stomach. That was a conspicuous bite. Any forensics team would be able to trace the toxic spit to him. He grabbed the man's arm and scraped out the wound with his sleeve. It sure wouldn't save the poor soul, but it'd (with any luck) keep Dwayne out of trouble. He wiped the blood off of his lips and shoved back, fiercely now, trying to escape the throng of people.

Arlene glanced at Lily; frankly she was grateful. "I think everything's under control," she said. "If anything..." She took a 10 out of her wallet and handed it over. "Can you get me a sandwich or something? Anything's fine. Haven't eaten all day." She helped James up and said the address of the pharmacist. "Thank you again." It didn't really feel right telling people to get her food, but she had supplied the money, and as far as she was concerned, that made it socially acceptable.

"Hmm," she said, trying her best to stay calm. "Well...I-I work at a pharmacist. We can go there and figure something out." Forcing herself to make a decision, she called the ambulance and told them the situation and location, then hung up quickly. It seemed that the messy, fun lab work would have to wait. She finally noticed the sword, and it seemed so out of place she was struck dumb for a second. "Is...is that a sword?" The sword doesn't matter, dammit. Psychiatric help matters. "Anyways, we can walk, or I can call a taxi. It's your choice."

I'm not sure if it's still accepting so shrug there, but if you've never watched the show, it's fine, because I haven't. I hope I helped in that regard at least.

Dark Fantasy Survival

I'm interested.

Arlene frowned, feeling even more unsure now, but how could she not call an ambulance? She peeked around the corner into the alley where the unconscious person lay, then looked back at James. He didn't look at all malicious to her, but she would have to keep her guard up. "Alright.." she muttered, mostly to herself. Think it through. "How many people did you beat up? They could have serious brain injuries." Then, not wanting to guilt him, she continued hastily. "Have you got a...a therapist or anyone? How far is your home? I can call the ambulance and then make sure you make it back alright." Never mind the idea of security cameras.

Rise of Heros ~OOC~

Uh-oh, seems like I have taken on quite a bit on second thought. Thank you for the suggestions, I think I'll make little edits throughout the day.

Rise of Heros ~OOC~

Oh boy.
I think basically it comes down to moving them. I'm a sophomore in high school so I'm struggling with this but I am trying. If electrons are moving freely that's electricity I think, so she man make/stop currents, and if they're whizzing around an atom then the most she can do is change their energy level. She can't remove electrons from an atom, but she can sever or create atomic bonds. I should probably make an edit or two. Magnetism I understand a lot less, I've been told it's the same thing as electricity but that makes no sense to me so I probably won't be focusing at that at all.
