Ivy's head darted to the first one to speak after her question - and quickly found confirmation, at least for one other person here. Of course it was the most obviously changed, the tiny winged girl, but still it was important to know. She wasn't wrong though, aside from the headless armored guy everybody else here looked pretty ordinary, but of course... Looking normal didn't mean they WERE normal.

" I don't know about them, but... " She quickly looked around the alley and spotted a dumpster, much like the one she'd kicked earlier, that nobody was standing near. Heading over to it the blonde went to pull up her sleeve before realizing she wasn't wearing her jacket, scowled to herself and grasped the underside of the dumpster - briefly she worried that her earlier exploits with the newfound strength were just strange flukes, but no, as soon as she started to lift she found the full-sounding dumpster to be unusually light. She clenched her fingers and felt the metal contort around them, hefting the dumpster off of the ground and stepping back, holding it up above her head with an outstretched arm - even able to compensate the lack of balance with more raw strength.

For a moment or so she wondered at her own strength, still having no idea just what kind of limits she now had - then blinked herself out of her thoughts and set it down again, though ti still produced a crash when she let it drop the last few inches. She dusted off her hands as she looked at the small girl again, feeling oddly calmer. " ...Looking normal doesn't mean we're actually normal. "

Then, as if remembering the state of nearly half the people int he alley, her cheeks flushed a little and she loosened her tie - pulling it off and approaching the little flyer with it held out.

" Here, it's not much but you can at least wrap it around yourself for a while. "

Liam Richard

It was an odd thing, seeing from two different perspectives at once.

He wasn't sure what was stranger. Seeing his severed head in someone else's hands, or seeing the jet of green flame that had replaced his head.

But, it was his head, and it ached, and goddammit he wanted it back. The blue orbs seemed to narrow, and without further he strode forward to take it from her. He ignored everything else, for this was far more pressing.

"Nope!" Kathy said instinctively as the headless, black-armoured, fire spouting body of Liam clambered towards her. She tossed Liam's head in the body's direction, hoping that'd end the approach.

Kathy glanced sideways at the now-not-murderer, seeing her lift up an entire dumpster with ease. "Great. You get to be Superman whilst my eyes just changed colour slightly," she bemoaned. Kathy took several steps back from Liam's head-and-body just to be on the safe side.

"I'm pretty normal," Kathy offered up to the she-hulk and the pixie. "I'm Kathy. This is Liam. He's not usually like this."

Liam Richard

Liam caught the head, sighed, and was deeply disturbed as he saw the mouth moved. Even more disturbed when he saw the disturbed expression on its face. He quickly turned the head around, to break the vicious cycle.

Experimentally, he held a hand up to the green flame around his head, and was surprised to find that there was no heat. He passed a hand through without any resistance, and nothing happened. Then, he brought his head up to the neck... and felt a sudden pull toward the stump. He allowed his hands to lower the head down, and then suddenly the neck had reconnected, fusing back to his body. The scar returned, marking where it had been reattached.

And in that moment, the armour, the flame, and his weapons faded away. He was wearing his ordinary clothes again. "Oh thank god..." he breathed a sigh of relief.

Titty shakes, huddled against the dumpster. She is slowly convincing herself that she is having a nightmare. Clutching the jacket to her, she rests her head against her knees, mumbling to herself. But then she hears those words....The words enquiring if anyone else had died and come back. She is confused by this. Why was there mention of death.

She tries to remember when she woke up. What happened before that? She could not remember. All she recalls is that moment when she woke up naked, in the warehouse of her workplace, and that man covered in blood and holding a knife...

She looks up, about to speak - but pauses. The conversation has shifted now into talk about how people died. And then the swearing woman lifted a dumpster....

Titty grimaces. She is clearly amidst insane people.

Lyla watched as the woman in the checkered shirt walked to a dumpster and... Lifted it... One handed...

The small pixie had to crane her neck way back to see the woman casually hold the dumpster above her head before gently lowering it back down. As it fell the last few inches, it sent a gust of wind at Lyla, nearly knocking her off balance. Luckily, she regained it before anything indecent could occur. And at that moment, the woman offered the tiny pixie her necktie. It was... Much bigger than Lyla could effectively wear, but she looped it around herself multiple times and tied a knot so that the tie resembled a floor-length gown. She had only wrapped it over one shoulder, so that it was asymmetrical with the tie resting at her chest on the side with the sleeve.

With that taken care of, she began fluttering back up to be eye-level with many of the rest of the people.

By then, the man had returned and was no longer a disembodied head and flaming armor. It was all very bizarre.

"Well... It seems that's most of us introduced. Your name is...?" The pixie turned to the woman who had offered her and Titty clothing. She wasn't sure she wanted to bring attention to the still-mostly-nude and silent Titty.

The girl who had appeared with guy introduced herself as Kathy and the guy as Liam, the small lady was Lyla, the woman with Ivy's jacket hadn't introd- wait, she must've been the one to call herself Titty. Then... Alright yeah, point, Ivy had missed introducing herself. It also seemed like Kathy had gone throuigh the same thing as well, judging by the context of her answer - presumably Liam did as well even if he hadn't said anything.

" Ivy, " She soon replied, noticing that Liam had his head back on and had returned to looking normal. That only really left the last of their number who was huddled by one of the other dumpsters, honestly looking like she was freaking out the most of all of them. Seemed like some level of sensitivity was needed now, but that was definitely not going to come from her - she had no fucking clue what to do when someone else was going through this kind of madness. She'd barely accepted that all of it was really happening, and she'd had a few extra hours to process.

There was also the nudity issue, but it wasn't like Ivy could hand over more than she'd already provided.

" Hey, " She called over to Titty. " I've got a motel room a couple of blocks from here, I don't exactly have much left but... There should be something that fits you ."

Kathy nodded appreciatively as the death knight stopped its march towards her and turned into the attractive bumbling idiot she had met earlier. She walked over to the last of the naked people in the alleyway, removed her cardigan and offered it forward.

"Cardi for the top half, jacket for the bottom," Kathy suggested. She then turned to stare at the pixie in the group. "You're very small, you know," she pointed out helpfully.

Titty looks up in alarm, her eyes widening. After a moment, she meekly accepts the cardigan with a whispered "Thank you..." before jostling to get it on - trying not to flash too much. Once the cardigan is on, she pushes against the wall to shakily rise to her feet and tie the jacket around her waist to cover her lower half.

Feeling less exposed, she breathes out a sigh of relief, before nodding. "I uh....I'd appreciate that, Ivy," she manages at last, wincing at how hoarse she sounds.

Oliver Tenpenny

Oliver nodded gently and smiled however this new face should. "That's alright. I can cover you." He beckoned the young woman with his hand and started toward the stairs.

As he descended, he turned to her mid-step. "I'm Oliver, by the way." He took the steps at a sort of gallop; clop-clop, clop-clop all the way down. Is that how he used to operate stairs? It already seemed so distant.

At the bottom of the stairs, he found a kiosk for purchasing one way tickets. He fed it the last of his quarters and took the ticket it spat out and offered the ticket to her. "This'll take us to Central park, give or take a block." Oliver approached the turnstile, fumbled with his metro card, and walked over to the platform.

The train would come very shortly. Oliver listened patiently.
