Anomaly

Anomaly continued her run towards the Snapper's location, and she only picked up the pace as a guy ran past her shouting "THAT TURTLE JUST ATE SOMEBODY! OH MY GOD!"

"Ohhhh no." Well, there went any notes of it being peaceful, as Dragon Heart and Blacklight now set that thing off with their petty fight. Fuck dealing with these harpies, Anomaly had more pressing matters to deal with, like getting the children away from where they could get hurt at the hands of the Epics that were fighting and the Snapper that was starting to eat people.

Anomaly ran into the crowd and pulled out a pair of siblings with her psychic hands, the mother following behind as she panicked at what Anomaly was doing. "What are you doing with my kids?!" "Ma'am, I'm trying to get your kids out of harms way. If I were you, I'd take them into the cafe nearby if you still want to watch the fight." "What danger could there be? Dragon Heart is out there!" "Please ma'am. Right now, that Snapper could come over here and... well... do the same to you as it did to that man." The mother hesitated before grabbing her kids and pulling them towards the nearby coffee shop. "A-alright! Who are you?" "Anomaly. Hurry, get your kids out of here!" The mother nodded as she finally picked up her kids, one in each arm, and she ran towards the cafe.

Anomaly watched the mother, and while the mother couldn't see it, a smile appeared on Anomaly's face. If this is what it felt like to help people, she was more than happy to do it. Speaking of helping people, Anomaly continued to try and gather more people in efforts to get them to a safer distance. Kids were the first priority, though.

I should probably make one of those for Pudding.

I'm directly outside it, if you wanna meet someone that just caused a few harpies to have head trauma.

I kind of want Xoxi to approach the snapper and try to tame it.

Not gonna, but it'd be anticlimactic and kinda funny to me.

A snapper? Xoxi didn't really know what that entailed, but she could see out the window that there was a giant snapping turtle roaming around Central Park, eating trees and what not. Honestly, it looked pretty harmless in comparison to something like a dragon, so Xoxi wasn't really worried about that. Still, it's probably a good idea to go and assist with the crowds and try to keep them back. That thing could probably cause a lot of mayhem if it was disturbed, so keeping things away from it was at least a decent idea.

Xoxi left the Heroes' Cafe, throwing her cup of coffee in the trash with one of her spirit hands and pulling her bandanna out of her pocket with the other. As soon as she made it outside, she ducked around the corner into an alleyway and tied the bandanna around her mouth and nose, loose enough that it was comfortable, but tight enough that it wouldn't fall. Once she had the bandanna on, she used both of her hands to lift her leather jacket out of her shoulderbag. The bag was largely empty after that, so Xoxi just took it off until after she had everything on. It was one of the first times she had to use this as a costume, but she was more than happy to do so if it helped. Anomaly drew her hood and zipped up her jacket before attempting to put the bag back on over her outfit. Unfortunately, the bag fell down around her ankles as she had it on. Once more, she tried and failed. After another attempt, Anomaly uttered "Fuck it," under her breath as she ran out into the street. She'd get the bag later.

As soon as Anomaly stepped into the street, she heard the many squawks of harpies erupt out of a nearby rooftop, and a few of those harpies noticed her standing alone and with her lack of arms due to the empty sleeves. Immediately, those harpies saw her as an easy meal, so two of the group broke off and decided to attack Anomaly. That was their first mistake, as two enlarged ghost fists flew towards the Harpies when they got close, sending them back into the skies on impact. Anomaly couldn't help but smile as they underestimated her, and smiled even harder when they tried it again. That was their second mistake, and the ghost fists grabbed them by the heads and slammed them into eachother, landing the two on the road a few feet away from Anomaly.

"Don't underestimate me, you glorified chickens!"

@Obscurus
I mean go for it. Xoxi'll find something eventually.

Anyway, I'm gonna have her being 'terrorized' by a harpy who will regret their entire life.

Edit: Make that two.

OK.

@Roughdragon1
Can you post first for this round? I've posted first for the other 3. If not, it's cool, I'll do it when I have everything finalized.

@AtomicNut

Darn, it appears I have been Out-Physics'd.

So then how do you explain the phenomenon whereby a box containing light possesses a greater mass than a box that does not contain light?

@thewizardguy

I can answer this with my dumbass logic.

One box has less air in it, because that air is now light, making it less dense than the other.

Either that or the boxes are differently sized.

Anomaly

Epic City was a weird place for her to wind up, but seeing the people inside this city really made her feel better about being here. There weren't many places where she didn't receive weird looks. The Heroes' Cafe was one of those places, and she sat there in the cafe with her odd ghost hands, drinking a nice mocha and looking at the various depictions of heroes on that mural. You had Dragon Heart, Spectrum, Traveler, and others up there, and Anomaly thought it was dope. It made her wonder why she didn't have any trading cards of them... or why she hadn't seen any. You could make a fortune here off of those trading cards alone, and you didn't even have to stop at just cards! You could do plushies, Halloween costumes, sodas, post cards, band-aids, the options were endless!

Her focus on the mural, however, was immediately shifted when she felt the ground faintly shake beneath her. Her gaze was immediately shifted to the sight of a fight going down near a church. What the heck was going on over there?! It seemed like whatever was in that concrete box was being reprimanded by a god or something, but which god it was, Anomaly didn't care. As long as she could use her mind fists, everything would be cool. Anyway, this fight seemed to be more interesting than what was going on in this cafe, especially since the overhead TV was on old reruns of bad sitcoms.

Anomaly placed her coffee on the table and walked over to the chair on her right, allowing her to be in full view of what was going down in this fight. Immediately, her ghostly hands materialized on the table and acted like two finger-people, currently engaged in a fight. While Anomaly watched the fight, her hands acted in the same ways that the two people she was observing were acting, with the church being represented by her coffee. "I am a child at heart... don't care though."
