Lost and Found ..in the underground
By: Amaris Date: April 3, 2018, 5:00 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
At the Palace she was forced to walk softly and be the epitome
of a lady. After a while she found the proper person to lead her
to Lady Alexia, and followed them down....
and down...
and down...
...into the area the Lady called home..or workshop...or both.
Like Mannix had experienced, they would only take her so far
before leaving her standing in an empty hallway. Servants are
so...weird. She called out in a slightly louder than normal
voice...
"Hello? Lady Alexia?"

*there was a soft voice coming from the darkness until a hanging
lamp came up giving enough light for Amaris to see a body about
75 feet away with a motioning of come hither*
How are you doing this Evening Lady Amaris?
*Amaris could see a table under the light also*

She smiled when someone finally answered her. She walked forward
toward the light
"It was a bit of a shaky start, but hopefully it is getting
better. How is yours going? I hear you have my errant ghoul in
your office."
She said a silent prayer that it was going to get better anyway.
But one can never tell ...

well i only know he is yours cause i can read his mind but he
will be in need of your help once you get him home
*she came closed and saw a body laying on the table dressed like
Gavriel but was missing hands and a barely had a face showing no
distinguishing for anyone to acknowledge his identify*

Nearby Mannix was standing at a table, paper and drawing
implements and another body, in a rather more unnatural state.
He seemed to be concentrating and drawing very carefully
something very detailed. He looked up at the voice. He set down
his pencil and walked over.
"Lady Amaris. Small world."

She stared down at him a minute while her heart broke a bit. She
closed her eyes a minute and when she opened them she looked at
him in a more ..medical perspective. She looked up at Mannix's
voice.
"Lord Mannix...how fitting. Come see...Lady Alexia seems to have
found my idiot. A bit worse for wear..."
She looked across at Alexia
"Did you put him out or is this from the trauma?"
The Lady held up a bottle of something and wiggled it. She
nodded and began to examine him more closely. After examining
his face and finding everything there, if misplaced, she felt a
bit better. At least he had both eyes and ears, all his teeth,
tongue, and underlying cartilage. The bone and muscle were still
relatively in place as well. Nothing seemed broken beyond repair
facially.
She opened his shirt and checked his chest and abdomen,
ribs...one broke at least...arms seemed okay except for the
missing hands. She pulled off his boots and pants, examining his
feet, legs and hips...everything was stable albeit bruised. It
was quite amazing considering how much she had elongated his
bones to give him height and the gaunt appearance. She stepped
back and cursed in Romanian.
"Dumb omule. ... Rahat pentru creier. ... Păpușa mea
defăimată."
She turned to Alexia
"Would it be too much of an intrusion on your time and workshop
to fix as much as I can while he is out? I would rather he be
able to make it home with as little help as possible...and with
a face that doesn't frighten children. But if it will hinder
you, please say...I can always find a room upstairs to work in."

*Alexia smirked*
Such a beautiful language well normally. . . yes i put him under
so that well did not attempt to wander around anymore than he
was. . . But please take your time as long as you also don't
mind if i watch never seen it actually done. Would be a new
experience and in turn you can study more about the body
amoungest the other
*she lifted her hand with a wave and Hundreds of tables lit up
with bodies in various state of dissecting*

She shook her hear and half smiled
"Thank you for your generous offer, Lady Alexia, and please
forgive my language ..and thank you also for caring for him, he
is my favorite. You say you knew he was mine from seeing his
mind?..did you happen to see who did this anywhere in there?"
She was beginning to wonder about the events of the night...but
that would come later. As she spoke she moved his shirt away
from the area of the broken rib. After a bit of palpating the
area to discern the best entrance she slid one hand beneath his
skin and pushing both skin and muscle back to expose the
shattered rib. As she began to mold the bone back together she
was talking to the Lady
"It's a bit like clay once you begin. Soft tissue is easiest,
bone is harder ... like clay you have to work at softening
before you can mold it. Once put together properly the body
itself will finish the minor healing within a few hours. So I
can put this back together, make it stable, and heal the compact
and cancellous bone tissue...and like any medical setting of
bone...the marrow and blood vessels will take care of themselves
for the most part.I could have forced them to heal, but there is
no advantage in something as small as a rib bone."
She moved her hands for Alexia to see the rib - now in one
piece. Once sure that Alexia was ready, she moved on, repairing
the torn tissue surrounding the area and putting the skin and
muscle back in place over the rib.
"Soft tissue is a matter of knowing where things go ..how and
where muscles attach ... what veins and nerves connect to what
area...it becomes intuitive after a while...just like in
medicine. You know where and what you have to avoid and the same
for what you have to repair. It takes a bit more because it is
preferable to have as much blood flow restored as possible..and
nerves as well since the human body relies so much on tactile
sensation."
She moved to his face, looked at Mannix and apologized for what
he was about to witness before she slid both hands under the the
skin of his jawline and peeled his face back from his skull.
Again she spoke very matter of fact-ly about what she was doing
at each turn for Alexia. She repaired any underlying damage,
then replaced the skin and began to mold it back into a face,
again stressing the important part was keeping the structure
anatomically correct so everything worked as it should once you
were finished. It took hours to fix the mess..and she spent a
few minutes looking at what damage was done in the wrists. But
finally, she had done all she would do that night.
Mannix would notice that this new face did not resemble Gesu
much. His artist's eye could see the bone structure was the
same, but the features were different. Gavri'el could now easily
pass as being related to Gesu and Symeon...but looked like a
blend of the two.
She should have been tired, but she was instead excited to see
Lady Alexia's work. So, she wandered through the bodies
examining things that one could usually not on a living body.
She found the dissected ear she was looking for and spent a
while going over it's structure and asking questions about
vibration and air pressure in relation to hearing. She was bent
over a tray examining an eye when she heara movement from the
area where Gavri'el was resting. Sighing, she left the eye and
made her way back to check on him.

His thought were only of you well and killing Thomas but that
was to be expected no he did it to himself as he was being taken
away he said something about not useing your creation to harm
you
*Lady Alexia began to watch Amaris work it was trully remarkable
to her on how well she did her job. The consumate observer she
made notes in her head about how she went about things and was
creepily constantnig smileing*
Mannix you must come watch this it is simply amazing.. . i would
say almost an art form unto itself would you not agree?
*the bodies throughout the room were in different states as
Amairs noted but she would also notice not all were dead some
were still alive to study but diseccted. Gavriel laid there
unconscience but resting well*

Mannix came over to watch the work being done. He looked at Lady
Amaris and did a quick double take, noting her face was
changed... again. It was a face he knew well but seeing it
changed so quickly reminded him of her clans awesome abilities.
As if her work here wasn't enough of a reminder. He watched as
she started to work. At first he was drawn a little aback by the
sight of hands flowing into flesh like a bakers into warm dough,
molding it and sinking in. He probably wouldn't be going by the
bakery for a few nights after this. Of course this was replaced
quickly at a marveling at her artistic qualities. He appreciated
skill and talent and it was much easier to take if he let
himself forget she was working on human flesh instead of clay or
dough. It was truly a marvel as he saw what she did. The
revulsion was gone from his face as he puzzled over the speed
and deft touch she used.
"You have the hands of an Artisan, Lady Amaris. Though I have to
say it is a good thing he cannot feel that. Is it as painful to
the subject as it looks.. oh nice choice with the cheeks. Hmm,
are you able to replace the bone that is missing?"
His knowledge of medicine was almost nonexistent, though he had
already started to learn more than he thought he ever would. He
had started getting a crash course in anatomy the moment he
started working for Lady Alexia.
"You were able to knit the bone together that fast? Your
abilities could truly revolutionize medicine, if not for the
need to keep its existence a secret. I have a new respect for
you, Lady Amaris.Truly masterful. Hmm.."
He really didn't know enough to give suggestions though from an
artists point of view he saw some things that could be done to
give Gavriels look more character, maybe fitting the mans
personality better. Still, it was not Mannixs place to speak.
"You are right Lady Alexia, it is fascinating."
And only a little disturbing.
