Eith and Katherine Lindall

"I... I did? I-I can do that? M-miren?!" Her voice showed a bit of shock as she knowingly said the name and her hands rushed to her mouth. "I can! W-what is this!?" She was showing a bit of excitement, though if this was good or bad has yet to be seen.

"Ahh, this is what I was talking about earlier. I never really paid attention to her so I never noticed. How could you two miss that important a thing?" Katherine said, messing a bit with Meowka's hair before looking at Eith. "That's probably because of her losing a bit of that seal. It's probably a coincidence that she lost herself as she did. Rather, it's happened before hasn't it? Is it that different from that time?" The Puppetmaster had to ask. Eith wasn't sure so she just looked between Selvina and Miren, still seeming confused over her newfound ability to say names, full names.

Eith and Katherine Lindall

First Katherine looked to Selvina, "It probably was the reason. As for being help..." The Puppeteer said as she turned to the bunny sitting with the subject matter herself. "Probably not. Not right now at least. I'd probably have to think it over with Livia. What I could tell, it's pretty complex. The 'top layer' is gone, but that might have been the easiest to get rid of." She shrugged, unsure of what else she could really good for them. "I'll talk to Livia about it, she might have an idea about it I don't. Never really have dealt with much of this type of thing."

Eith looked confused still, but she knew that this teacher wasn't much help right now. "Thanks for trying then. . ." She said, leaning on Miren a bit. "I suppose it wasn't a fully wasted trip Miren." She looked over to her old caretaker and then quickly averted her gaze. "Though I wonder why Selvina is still here." She minutely complained. She didn't really seem the type to care, from what Eith thought. She really didn't want to start anything at this point though. Albeit more out of not wanting to be irritated.

Eith and Katherine Lindall

"Seal on thinking? Sounds like rubbish. Pardon me a second though." Katherine said righ before she cleared her throat. "Meowka, dearie, I need you out here. This 'Shellagh' as she calls herself won't harm you. And if she still does, maybe the thought of not having fish for a week scares you more." Whatever the cat did was up to her at that point. "Back to topic though. . . Mutt, lay on the bad like a human trying to sleep."

Eith was about to growl in contempt but though better than to do so, so she laid on the bed as she was asked. At least, imagined she was asked to do so. It was still a little irritating. "Goodie. Now then, let me take a look at your very being. Lay it bare for me." Katherine added as she put a hand to the Shellagh's chest. The heart was a good focal point to test and see if anything was amiss. In this case, there was. Nothing small either. "Hmmm. This is. . . Nothing good, so far as to tell you. There's a. . . Type of seal, I suppose. It's inexplicably mixed between her soul and her body. That is to say, there's your problem."

Eith shook the teacher off after she was done telling her information. "What does that mean?" The Dog-Girl had to ask. It needed a decent explanation. "How is that the problem?"

"Wow, she wasn't kidding when she said you don't think. Fine, let me give you all of the little details then." Katherine said as she looked Eith in the eyes. "You have a seal of sorts in you part of it attached to your physical form, and part to your soul.. Can't tell you what it does, but I can hazard a guess from what the adorable bunny said." The Doll-Master always enjoyed her long rants, doubly so when it made someone feel dumb. Just like the mutt looked like at the moment. "Good news though, or perhaps not. . . Well, it weakened recently. I could feel remnants of an "outer barrier" that "broke". Did she show any changes in personality?" If nothing else Miren or Selvina had to have known. She looked at the two expectantly. If Meowka decided to show, Katherine would put her hand on the kitten's head and ruffle her hair.

Eith

"Fine, I'll go." Eith said, skeptical still. What would a mage be able to do that a god among demons could not? Or, still then... Perhaps she just didn't want to do it. When Selvina entered again, Eith's ears dropped a bit. This was a person she really didn't want to deal with really. . . But. . . She also brought food. And her stomach was making weird noises... She accepted the food, but put the water to the side. Not like she really needed the junk. Not unless she was making steel. Now, in the next minute, she did what can only be described as utterly devouring her food. Nothing existed of it by the time she was finished. Soon enough, the group left for the Puppet-Master's house.

Katherine Lindall

About thirty minutes passed since Katherine started having the cat caress her hair. At the cat's touch, she relaxed greatly. She may have been teasing Meowka earlier, but she really had great hand control. "I might have to ask you to do this more. SAdly though, that's enough for now. We're going to have guests in a couple of minutes." Katherine said as she struggled to sit up. A minute later, a knock was heard at the door followed by a cute voice introducing herself. "Ahh, if you want to hug this one... I understand. It's alright, I think we're all too weak to her charm." The Puppeteer said with a slight giggle.

Katherine brought herself over to the door to open it personally. Hardly a second passed once she opened the door before she was hugging the small rabbit on the other side. "Oh Miren! It's been too long! Staying adorable are you?" She rubbed her cheeks against the rabbit's for a couple of seconds before looking up and noticing the other two. "Oh, the mutt and the. . . I've not got a good name for you now other than something overly wordy." Katherine joked as the opened the door fully to show off her room. "Come on in. I've no idea what you actually want to talk about this time. Haven't found the time to install a doll in your house. Think I might have to go hunt for some more souls for them."

Eith furrowed her brows and looked to Katherine. "I am no mutt! I am pure Shellagh." Eith complained, though stepped inside. Katherine just sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'll silence myself for Miren though."

"You just need to understand humor, dear. Now then, Miren, what did you want to ask." She asked while patting the wolf-eared girl. "Oh! Right, one last thing before that actually! This is Meowka, my new familiar. I didn't name her by the way. Yes, Boy-Girl, she might look familiar to someone you know. Someone in the care of a dragon and knight at current, I believe."

Eith

Well, this rabbit was rather insistent on her seeing someone. "Ohh, sure. If you think "Katherine" would help. I doubt she could do anything if Myrilla couldn't." Eith stated, somewhat doubtfully. She didn't want to doubt her friend-servant, but her experience didn't do too much to give her faith in the matter. "Still, if there is a chance. . ." But she might as well go along with it to see if there was a chance.

Katherine Lindall

"I'm just a bit tired." Katherine said as she turned her head to look up at the kitten. "It's what happens when you decided to make a dress for your familiar and she decides she wants to do her best to get in the way." She teased. While it was true, she kept on task very readily. "Have you never done this sort of thing before? I thought you'd be skilled in petting someone's head and making it feel good." Maybe a little spuring on would work out well.

Eith

"Talk to someone? Who do you even think I could talk to? Not even Myrilla could do anything. Or, perhaps, knowing her she just didn't." Eith said, looking at Miren curiously. She sure as Hell didn't know anyone she could talk to about this issue. "Who would you suggest?"

Katherine Lindall

Katherine wasn't too amazingly picky and ate just about everything on her plate, except for one little fatty part in her steak. She saved it until the end and then stabbed it with her fork and put it near Meowka's mouth. "Say 'Ahn'." The Puppeteer said as she plopped the small bit into the cat's mouth. There was no way she'd refuse. She didn't seem picky about that sort of thing either. "It's nice to have someone that'll eat the fatty bits." She added as the dolls came to collect their plates. She didn't really care too much whether or not the cat ate the vegetables. It was mostly to see what she'd eat after all.

"Alright then. About that request. Now, sit up, you can lean back against the wall or however would make you the most comfortable." Katherine waited until the cat was perfectly done getting comfortable. "Good then? Great." With that, the cat's master laid her head on the cat's lap and took a deep breath. "I need a small nap and of course, I'm using your lap as a pillow." It was all calculated. She wanted a small nap of course, but she'd take the chance to see how the cat would respond. Of course, she couldn't just blatantly say no. Not really.

Eith

"Merely a shell of the former self. Cute, but. . . depressingly dull." The voice said again after a long time of silence. It felt like a long time to Eith. There was no way to tell time in this weird world. "Yes. Yes, yes, yes. The seal has been weakened. Maybe you're not as dull as I think you are. Hah! Still, it's sad to be in this state, perhaps soon. . . Well, who can tell? Well, enough idle chat like this. Time to wake up."

---

"Who!?" Eith asked as her eyes opened. It hadn't been amazingly long since she had passed out, but long enough for Bunny to find herself next to Eith. The rabbit's face was close so Eith nuzzled back, curious why she was in bed now. In fact, she found it weird. Wasn't she downstairs? Something happened though. . . Not that she could really remember. "Bunny... You look worried. Is there something wrong?"

Katherine Lindall

"It's not done yet. My hands started to hurt so I decided to take a break. Then food sounded good. It's actually coming in right now." Katherine said as the door to her room opened. Two dolls carrying plates over their heads walked over. It was almost impressive that such tiny frames could carry plates filled with food as it were. "It's not much impressive. An assortment of stewed vegatables and a bit of beef steak, heated over an open fire. I like it a bit done, so it might not be as moist as you like, but should taste good still with the bit of seasoning. The Puppetmaster said as she grabbed both plates. "Now sit up and eat. When we're done, I have a small something I want you to do for me." She said with a bit of a smile. It was a nice one. Too nice, perhaps.

Eith

"What is this? They thought they could break me? This is nothing." The distorted female voice said, confident in her words. So it seemed at least. That much Eith could tell.

After a couple of minutes, the voice appeared again. This time however, it was greatly distressed. "N-no. What is this? T-this madness? Are they not my own anymore? Why?" Eith felt completely uneasy. As if a sense of defeat flew through her. Then the voice made itself known again. "Where are... No, what is there to do?" She seemed less distressed. Less overall worried. More like she had work to do.

---

In her unconscious state, Eith began to mutter inane nothing. She seemed to struggle less though.

Katherine Lindall

"You'll see when they get here... Soonish." Katherine said as she continued brushing her hand through the cat's hair. She was enjoying this as much as she could really. "And it's for both of us, you know?" Katherine had to say. Her free hand poked the cat in the cheek as she asked as well.

Mugi the Yuki-Onna

"Ohhh, you are just so sweet I want to hug you." Mugi said. This little Hydra girl was just too adorable really! "Oh! But, I won't since you really don't want to be cold. I'll be careful." The Snow Woman said before turning to Cynthia and Fia when they were finished with the food. It looked good! Of course it did. Her lovely maid-lover made it, well, with the help from that one girl that seemed to always have a dire look on her face. "Oh my, it looks delicious. A little hot, but that's fixable!" She could quickly fix that issue.

Eith

Eith stood in a wide black void. There was little around aside her and a giant odd rune-like symbol in the middle of the area. She looked around but alas, there was little for her to see. Then, voices echoed. "Hardly an issue, there's no way it can break." A male voice echoed, it seemed... Familiar.

"Please, it'll break eventually." Another voice said, though, it didn't echo like the other. It felt more internal to the Shellagh.

Another voice called, different from the first, but unmistakeably male. "Yes, I agree. The safety locks should keep it as is. I'll be too happy when we get to look it in the face and give it orders." He seemed confident enough.

"And I when I rip yours off." Another voice said. It was. . . Female. Of sorts. There was a great distortion to it so it was hard to tell.

"So, the horde is under control then?" The first voice asked, assumably to the second.

"Indeed my friend! So long as we have this one, the rest will follow it! It's easy. Never thought we had a way to make an easy army. Well, it wasn't amazingly easy, but it's not like we had to become Lords or anything." The second said.

"It's hardly easy when you lose most of your friends in the attempt."

"Wonderful. You go lock it up physically then. I think we're done messing with the mental issues for now."

"Sounds good. I'll look at the horde and see what they're like."

"Hey! It's not really a horde now, more like a pack." With that, both of the men laughed their fill as the two voices faded, as if gone from existence.

"How long do you think it's possible to keep this as is? This will be the end of you both."

---

Eith struggled, as if having great issues in her unconscious state. Her face showed signs of distress, as if having a sort of nightmare.

Katherine Lindall

As Meowka woke, it would have been later in the day than when she went to sleep. Aside that, she might notice something else. She wasn't on the floor. Instead, she was a bit higher than that with something brushing through her hair. No, even beyond that, her head rested on something. . . A lap? If she moved, she'd hear a voice come from above her. "Oh, are you awake? You were sleeping so nicely and I needed to take a break so I had the dolls move you here. Hope you're not too irritated. Ready to eat now?"
