((cw: And also potential abuse-adjacent thoughts as he tries to rationalize any harm he causes))
A: The anomaly exodus, maintenance tunnels
[He was horrified, at first, when he was able to take stock of himself. Horrified at what he'd become, at his racing heart and gasping breath, when there shouldn't even be a heart or lungs in his amorphous form and nothing makes any sense.
But he's warm. He's so warm, and he realizes his shapelessness can be used to others' benefit, and soon it is not nervousness that fuels his rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath, but a sort of constant giddiness, too much to allow for anything too complex. He drapes himself over a nearby fellow anomaly, like a big living cloak of putty. And that's all he is, to the other anomalies, because they aren't affected by his disproportionate strength.]
How are you feeling, my friend? I don't seem to feel the cold anymore.
B: The unwitting trap, anywhere outside
[He needs to find a tablet before anything else. He needs to let the others know about his transformation. Every so often, he stops and tries to rest, a puddle of liquid marble. He's almost invisible, in the snow. Someone might step on him if they don't react to the proximity to an anomaly fast enough, and when they do, or if they simply pass close enough, he reacts with a startled sound and a face - that's Enoch's face, without the months of starvation - forms out of it.]
Oh, hello! Please don't be afraid, I want to help you. Where are you going? Please let me carry you. I don't think I can move faster than you when I have a passenger, but I'm very warm.
C: An unexpected companion, any interior in Residential 3
[Something seeps under a door, into a window, or up through a trap door. Something white and shifting and looking like pristine marble in liquid form. Making grunts of effort, it shapes itself into a humanoid form, muscular like Enoch remembers himself to be. He wants to be less alarming, since he's gone looking for people now instead of technology. But it's so difficult to maintain, and trying to walk like a human leaves him wobbly. Maybe he'd better stand still and let someone else come to him.]

Hello? Is there anyone in here?
