Amrita considered it's questions carefully, her arms wrapping around her knees while her disembodied hands busied themselves on the floor, tapping and fidgeting with whatever they could; namely the blanket her patchwork self was on. She wasn't entirely sure how much information it wanted, but it DID say to tell it everything. So...everything it was! From the beginning. Sorry Mal, but she was about to word vomit.
"Um, well...I recognized him, he was one of the first Hunters I ever saw; really big boil, but not as big as Herryk...um, with a two-bladed weapon. He hurt Remi and my friends then, s-so when I saw him I just...I couldn't help it, I punched him really hard. We fought, I lost my arm--" She wasn't going to tell Mal that she had done that herself; the Hunter had taken half of the arm off at the shoulder, and in a frenzy she took the rest off herself. Christof had fixed it, she had told him she had an accident. Which technically wasn't a lie! "S-so of course we started fighting, and I don't know how it happened, but...my fingers slipped into his arm. Oh, um, my ghostly fingers, from where I was missing my limb. It was like...a jolt. I could feel something...electric, I guess?" Her head tilted, flexing her fingers at the memory and trying to figure out the sequence of events as best as she could...it was a long time ago.
"That gave me the idea, so um...I tackled him, pinned him down and then just...pressed in like I would a normal corpse. It was easier with my missing arm, I guess 'cause I didn't have to fight through the extra meat and stuff. I know I started with the limbs 'cause there's less to get through, and he screamed so loudly once he realized something was wrong~" Her face couldn't physically grin, but the tone of her voice was a clear indication that she was. It had been nice to hear, even if it had been some pretty curious insults.
"He went quiet, then...then everything went quiet. I couldn't see or hear and everything went black and...and it was terrifying! I thought I'd gotten stuck, but...thankfully, I wasn't." One of her hands flew up to hold her collar for a moment, before sliding back down to fidget on the ground. "He was heavy! It was like...suddenly trying to pick up Chris heavy. I could barely walk in his skin with all that meat, I kept falling and ugh I had to breathe and his heart beat and just...I don't know how non-undead do it. It seems like a lot of work." The Vetala shook her head slowly. The Hunter's signs of life were very uncomfortable to someone who didn't need them. "But yes, he was under my complete control...um, thrall, you said? Is that what that word means? Anyway~ I didn't have the strength to carry both bodies, so I left this one there...I felt so bad, but I couldn't waste the opportunity." She gestured briefly to the corpse they had built for her. "I eventually got him into halloween and then he started to fight me, I lost my grip and...I think I told you the rest." She thought on it some more, her head tilting in the opposite direction. She also left out that she kind of went into rigor that night from the stress and FEAR exertion, but that was probably because she always went through that when she used a lot of energy in one day. Or trip.
"But it was weird. I guess I expected to hear him or something, but there was silence. I could feel him there, I knew when he started to wake up I guess, but...I don't know, he was silent. It was...very different from an empty corpse." She shuddered visibly, still feeling very strange about the whole thing. "His weapon turned into a coin? I put it in his pocket. Kinda wish I didn't." She didn't imagine he would survive, so she didn't quite think about it until after. Now that she knew, though...maybe they could reclaim some previous Halloween denizens?Sosiqui SORRY FOR THE WORD VOMIT ahahaa...haha..ha... >__>a

Malodore listened in fascination as Amrita spoke, though it also kept its fingers moving - it was practiced enough at this simpler type of stitching that it could easily focus on Amrita's words while it worked. "Thrall, si... that is a good word for it. And I understand what you mean, the beating and the breathing and such," it added, with a chuckle. "The rest... who would have thought? I know that you have possessed others before, but only with their consent. To know that you can do so forcibly - that is a great gift." It nodded its approval. "Though it seems it is not a seamless transition, and your original body is left behind, just as it is now? An inconvenience, surely, but not an impassable one. You can move around and exist freely in your current form, can you not? Or is there a limited amount of time before you must have a body?"

"I kind of feel dirty doing it, but...if I can use it against them I can put up with it." Sacrifices had to be made, she knew that more than anything. Malodore began to comment more in depth on the subject, and she found herself trying to tuck her hair behind her ear, which was strange for two reasons; one, she didn't have hair and two, no ears either.
"Well...I'm sure with practice I could make it...smoother?" It was her first time possessing someone living - actually possessing them by force. "Yeah. Once I'm in one body I'm out of the other, so it's just a corpse...like it is now." The hand still hovered near the side of her head as though unsure of what to do now, knowing her usual hair fidget was currently impossible.
"I...I can but, um...I feel...very naked?" Her voice took on a very nervous edge, shy for a myriad of reasons. "I...I don't know if there's a time limit. Right now is...honestly the longest I've ever been corpse-less." She shifted uncomfortably; now that she was thinking about it, it was bothering her. She felt so very exposed as a Vetala, and was eager to get her body back.

"Hmm. Well, you won't be corpse-less much longer," Malodore said, opening its beak in a smile. Indeed, underneath the plague doctor's fingers the last stitches were falling into place. "Now, I left a bit looser over the voice box so that Nurse Cricket can access it," it informed her, tying off the last knot and snipping the excess thread easily. "For her own repairs, of course... how does that look?" Enoh Love LOL HI i am the worst tagger

"Thank you!" The Vetala sounded as though she were smiling, giving a nod to the instruction about Nurse Cricket. When prompted for her opinion she leaned forward again, the glow radiating from her eyes seemed to get brighter. "Good as new!" She looked at the Doctor and then back at the body itself; if it was done, then...? Casting another stare at the Doctor, the Vetala leaned forward, her form becoming intangible as she fit herself back into the corpse.
"You're the besst!" Her voice was still off, but that was to be expected. She flexed her fingers and worked her joints as if adjusting a well fitted shirt. "I think I need to do something nice for you now." She chuckled, somewhat strained noise due to the still broken box. "When everything gets back to normal, we should do something! Something that isn't patching me up or, you know, stressful."

Malodore ducked its head modestly at the praise. "It is my pleasure - and thank you for approaching me for this work. It is soothing, I admit... though please, do not injure yourself on my account!" It opened its beak in a smile in response to her last words. "I would like that. I am not sure what 'normal' means, now... but when we find it, I am certain we will know."

"I make no promises." She chuckled sofly, shaking her head. It wasn't that she was trying to hurt herself! "And it'll be lovely, for once." Finding their own 'normal', that is. Despite it's pointy self, Amrita leaned in to give the Plague Doctor a hug; well, as good of a hug as she could give him without needing more repairs.
"I really don't think I can thank you enough...and I'll be in touch for that something fun!" Releasing it, she gave one last smile and moved to duck out of it's room, going to try and find some normal to deal with.Sosiqui Yay finally a wrap! :'D I think.
