"Beats my story, I just remember waking up in a graveyard with a couple of other zombies, eventually ended up here. It's actually really hard to say what happened..." She trailed off quietly wondering how many other undead had ended up at the school with little family or history. Shehk was the same wasn't she? Glancing back at the doctor again she smirked as he puffed up ever so slightly. "Don't suppose a plague doctor like your self has any secret strands of virus we could toss around in some of the other dorms in the name of 'science'?"

"Alas, no - I left the Casa with only the clothes on my back, the contents of my medical carry-kit, and my plague rat." It inclined its head towards Sammy in apology. "Not to mention the administration would likely have words about releasing a virulent strain onto campus, and I'd rather not be expelled just yet."

"For another time then my fine slightly feathered friend." Her eyes danced with just a hint of miscif as she spoke. "I'm sure the school has some nice labs designed just for your study if you poke around."
She paused, "We'll make it a small out break, maybe just on the top floor of the dorms. Those vampires could use a few pox marks, always bragging about how perfect their pale complexion is."
Meandering about the room she waved Ixxy away from Malodore, the Scareon was eying the doctors tail a bit closely as if intending to pounce. "Well, you know where to find me now, and if you ever loose your hat again I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it."
Ixxy leaped, and Sammy dipped down to grab at the squirming scareon, "She needs a bit of work on the whole 'do not pounce peoples tail' deal."

"I certainly do not intend to lose it again," Malodore said ruefully; it put one hand on the brim of its hat as if by doing so it could prevent any future dangers. "But grazie mille for returning it to me. Strange how one can be so thoroughly covered and yet feel so naked without it..."

With Ixxy wiggling in her arms Sammy only chuckled as the doctor protectively gripped his hat. She shifted a bit side to side trying to keep the Scareon at bay. "If you do, I'd be happy to help find it."
In turn she shrugged at his musing. "I'd be horrified to loose my tags." To this Malodore could make out two small dog tags dangling from her neck. "I've had them since I got here. Longer then I can even remember."

"Ah - you awoke from the grave as undead, then?" Malodore tilted its head to one side. It knew, naturally, that some undead were made, not born, but it had never met one before to its knowledge. All plague doctors, after all, were the born variety. "Fascinating. You truly remember nothing of your time in another world?"

Sammy nodded a few time, "Woke up with a handful of others like myself, we all had the tags and different outfits, I remember vaguely that someone was trying to instruct us. It all didn't last long or rather I don't remember it very well. Before that I recall nothing else." She smiled sadly, "If I have to say one thing I regret not having family and friends from back then. It wasn't till I started going here I met people like Shehk to hang out with."

"How unusual... to me, at least," Malodore said with a self-depreciating headshake. "Plague doctors, we are always exactly what we are. No more, no less. Never anything else. Our origins were born so long ago that no living doctor remembers."

"You always had a family and friends then? Didja pop out a pumpkin a tiny little plauge doctor with a baby mask already in place?" She said it lightly, joking even. Though the idea of a baby pumpkin sized Maladore was actually rather amusing. "I suppose the biggest difference between us is you have memories, and I don't..."

"Family, yes," Malodore said, "though we are not born with our masks. They are made for us when we have grown enough bone to harvest materials to forge them. Toddle-scareling age, usually. Our hands are taken, and replaced with superior materials." It stretched out its silvered claws.

Sammy started to drink but quickly stopped eyes going wide as Malodore spoke. Slowly she put the drink down walking over to inspect the mask more closely. "Your telling me when you were just crawling around and learning to walk.... they made this out of your own hands?" She raised a finger as if to touch the mask, but stopped short looking at Malodore for some confirmation it would be okay to touch. "Jack dammit, shows how much I know about other undead..." she mumbled softly.

Malodore shrugged, its backblades rippling with the movement. "It is our way. It would be strange and unnatural not to. Your face is made out of your own flesh and bone, is it not? So is mine."

For a moment her fingers paused before retracting to tap her own chin with a light shrug and a smile, "You bring up a valid point, it is made of my flesh and bone, but why not keep the face you used to have under the mask? Though... I suppose you wouldn't be much of a plague doctor without the mask." Stepping back she took a sip at her drink in thought. "Well I guess with how important that mask is you best not miss place it like your dashing red hat." To that she reached out lightly prodding the tip of the elegant hat.

"Impossible," Malodore said firmly. "It can only be removed by either myself or an elder plague doctor. And given that without it I lose sight and speech, I am not inclined to do so. The elders would only remove it as punishment for great misdeeds."
It... did not seem inclined to levity on the subject, keeping its tone serious.
