Stand Back! We're Going to Try Science!

[Carliah Dakrone]

Carliah was sitting in her throne room, waiting for the arrival of her friend Taeli Rae. The Sith woman was one of the few people Carliah felt she could trust. The Mad Queen absent-mindedly ran her fingers over the amulet around her neck. She intended to ask her fellow Sith Knight to put the soul inside the amulet in a body instead. Carliah had spent quite a few days searching for a fitting body for the soul she carried with her now. She finally found one that suited her, and would be a bit of a cruel joke, but then again she needed a bit of laughter. Sure the future owner of that body would probably slap her, but it was the best she could do at the moment. [member="Darth Arcanix"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]

Yusan sighed, it was his last day in the amulet, with or without the body as his chest was nearly gone and his neck would probably be the next to go. Infact he worried if they didn't get started soon he was probably going to die in a short time or rather lose his sanity to the void and then have to deal with being a feral soul with nothing left... With that he risked it and spoke to Carliah, an inch more disappearing from his chest as it reached to where his armpits would be. "We really should hurry up..."

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

"They'll be here soon, now shut up!" Carliah growled as she waited. She had been informed that a ship containing Taeli and Bayala would be landing shortly. The Mad Queen had so far refused to tell Yusan just what body she was putting him in. She wanted it to be a surprise and so had avoided letting the amulet anywhere near the body and had also avoided outright thinking about it for fear of him figuring it out.

[Taeli Raaf]

Taeli stretched as the ship she and her master had been taking landed on Widek, she was a little apprehensive about the whole project they were about to embark on, but it would be a fascinating study and exercise. She suspected Carliah had changed some things about Widek to make it even more insane than it had been on her last visit, but then that was what the Mad Queen liked to do.

"I hope we aren't going too far down a rabbit hole here, Master," she said to [member="Darth Praelior"] as the boarding ramp lowered. "Carliah seemed to think the matter was rather urgent about moving whatever soul was in that amulet to a body."

Elara arrived with Balaya and was leading the way into the place, clearing the path for her master as she stood there looking onto the group gathered with her mask and oracle armor on. She could hear Balaya speaking and looking upon them. "Very impressive when I heard the news that you killed Yusan... I admit I was a little jealous my dear queen. He was so delicious to play with and now.. he is just pulp." Elara stood there and listened while smiling a little under her mask.

Yusan listened through Carliah's ears at who had come to this and one voice rang out to him immediately, his own voice hitting on Carliah's mind as he spoke to her. "Is that the walking boob? Please do let me punch her after this, i swear i will only die one more time if you let me do this... i mean come now, when will i ever get the chance to punch her again... i wonder what she looks like now, haven't seen her since Ossus."

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

'No you can't punch her you idiot!' Carliah kept her reply in her head to avoid appearing insane, well more insane than they already believed her to be. She reached for the clasp that kept the amulet around her neck and undid it, taking the piece of jewelry off and holding it in her hands now.

"There is a soul inside this amulet that I would like put inside a body I... liberated from a group of Mandolorians. No memories are to be erased. This man is going to become my personal guard," Carliah explained, standing and gesturing for them to follow her to the small lab in her palace.

[Taeli Raaf]

"Who's soul is it exactly?" Taeli asked, following the Mad Queen through the palace. This place had seen another change she noticed, and the décor was even more zanier than last time she had visited Widek. And why Carliah was so fixated on this one soul was beyond her, but at least after her lesson with Alex she knew the process to move a soul into a body.

"And is it someone who was important to you?" she further asked, fairly certain her guess was spot on. At least, someone important to the Miraluka before she had joined the Sith.

[Carliah Dakrone]

"It's someone I believe will make a good ally, and that's all I will say as far as the identity goes. This soul doesn't want anyone knowing who he used to be," Carliah explained as she kicked open the door to the lab. A still very much alive Zorren with a white tail was laying sedated on a table. Carliah had a feeling killing the owner of that body and leaving them dead would be detrimental to placing Yusan's soul inside as the body would be unable to sustain itself, so she had left the former Mandalorian alive for now. She'd let Taeli and Balaya handle things from here. She still held the amulet though, until somebody said they needed it. [member="Darth Arcanix"] [member="Yusan Fenn"] [member="Darth Praelior"]

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

Balaya looked at the apprentice and the amulet as she held her hand out and spoke. "That can be done, it isn't easy but it can be done... do you have a body in mind or should I get one from storage. I have been trying to find a use for those bodies your late husband left in his basement on Coruscant. Seems he was torturing people trying to find you. must have been between his times being called a traitor by the Republic." Balaya shrugged while she motioned them over. "Come along and lets see this body, maybe make a twelve year old Matukai bodyguard.... that could prove intereting."

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

Carliah gestured to the sedated Zorren and smiled. "I have a body for him."

The Mad Queen had chosen the body partly for it's advantages in physical strength and speed, and partly because she had found it among the Mandalorians and she knew the Echani wouldn't approve of that when told him where she had gotten it. The Mad Queen found the situation quite amusing to say the least. [member="Darth Praelior"] [member="Darth Arcanix"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]

 

[Taeli Raaf]

"You want to stuff whoever is in there into a fox body," Taeli said, her eyebrows raising. "And the soul is still inside that body? I hope whoever you have in that amulet is very strong in willpower as their soul and the fox's soul are going to fight over the body and whoever wins stays, the loser is banished to the Void."

She pulled out her datapad, and brought up the necessary symbols that needed to be painted. They would need blood, and it had to come from the fox's body. Enough to paint the symbols.

"I guess we should get started then," she said, rolling her sleeves up. "I hope you don't mind but we need some of this body's blood, correct Master?"

[Carliah Dakrone]

"I don't care what you do. Hell kill the current owner of that body if you want. Just make sure that that soul ends up in that fox," Carliah replied, allowing Taeli and Balaya free reign of the lab. She held onto the amulet until it was needed, biting her lip nervously. The fox had been half-mad when she had 'obtained' him. Surely Yusan's soul could win out against it?

[Serah Oricion]

Yusan watched from the amulet, appearing only to CArliah because of her holding onto the amulet, his entire chest gone and his head and neck left as he smiled. "You do realize im half mad by definition too, right you paranoid and scared queen..." His words could only be heard by Carliah, and much of the information he was getting through Carliah's thoughts and auditory senses, though he did seem to be unable to see visually so alot of what was going on was pieced together in his head and by her thoughts about the room. "Oh, and do hurry this up if you can, im about to lose my head... figuratively and literally."

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

Balaya looked at the fox and her apprentice while she went over to it and had her eyebrow raised. "Oh it shall be handled." Her hand came out and Balaya slid the small alchemist blade as she held it. "It will be a slow process but we can heal it with the darkside making the body quite a sight, I just hope whoever you want to have fill this is worth it my dear sweet girl. This is not going to be something easy to do again and eventually madness will set in from going from body to body." The blade slid into the flesh while she was speaking and bled a little with the alchemy. "Place the amulet on the chest and hold your hand over it."

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

Carliah nodded and did as instructed. She placed the amulet against the Zorren's chest, leaving her palm resting over it. The Mad Queen hadn't really expected to have to assist in the ritual, but she had no problem with it as long as she didn't accidentally fuck something up. The Miraluka was eager to get the entired process over with. She wanted Yusan put into another body as soon as possible. [member="Darth Praelior"] [member="Yusan Fenn"] [member="Darth Arcanix"]

 

[Taeli Raaf]

While her master and Carliah began working with the amulet, Taeli nicked a vein of the unconscious fox and began drawing blood, enough to allow the runes to be painted, into a small bucket that would like a paint container. Once she had collected enough, and made sure the wound was sealed, she began painting each rune carefully with a thin brush, allowing the dark side energies to flow into the blood and create a chain from each symbol that would connect to both the amulet and the souls that would be at the center of the ritual.

Balaya took the amulet and set it on the chest while she looked at her apprentices hand and put the blade into it. "You shall need to bleed and to it that the spirit is there." She had a small grin and was reaching out with the force across the body. to hold it down while she placed a hand on the head and another on the stomach. "You'll want to push your power into the blood and pool it before sending yourself down and the spirit into the body."

 

[Taeli Raaf]

As [member="Darth Praelior"] explained what Carliah needed to do, Taeli continued to work on the blood runes, dabbing her brush delicately into the blood and writing another then another. The blood runes were almost pulsing with the power of the dark side as Taeli added a touch of darkness to each one she wrote, increasing the power of the ritual and increasing the power that the Sith could draw upon while they worked. Finishing the last stroke of the final rune, the barrier created by them would contain the ritual and focus the soul into the body.

[Carliah Dakrone]

Carliah remained silent, doing as she was asked throughout the entire process. She did everything without thinking, being oddly quiet as she worked. She followed Balaya's instructions and watch absent mindedly as Taeli painted the runes. She had alot on her mind and was working on autopilot for the most part. She just wanted to get this over with. [member="Darth Praelior"] [member="Darth Arcanix"] [member="Yusan Fenn"]
