Before you do anything else, you have to address the elephant in the room here. You try your best to give them a disarming smile. "Just watch. It's easier to explain that way." It's cryptic but you don't have it in you to try explaining it further. You kneel down in front of the barely 'alive' corpse Quentin is in. You knock on the body's head before pointing a finger at Lilith's body.
"Go there, please. I think that's a good option." You whisper at Quentin.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Lex gives you an incredulous look. "Shouldn't you be patching 'im up with somethin'? The fuck are you whispering for?"
Ashley slowly backs away. She keeps a calm and collected tone in her voice but it's clear she's concerned where this is going. "Lex. I think she knows what she's doing and <span class="mu-i">that's scaring me.</span> Back away."
"O-okay? Nicky, I hope you're not having an episode or somethin'." He backs up alongside Ashley to have a solid five foot gap between them and you. "Y-you know what you're doing, right?"
"Right. Come on out, Quentin." You look down at the body that has long since stopped moving. Something squirms underneath the decaying face of the soon to be discarded meat puppet. It's long and thin, wrapping around the head with ease. Small limbs all over the long and thin body prod and poke away at the rotten meat it is trapped in. Eventually, the centipede makes a big enough hole to pop its head out of.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Lex gags upon seeing it, covering his mouth with his hands. Ashley is watching on with morbid curiosity and dread. "Holy shit. Is that a bug...?"
You hold out your hand to the centipede. It crawls onto your hand. Its many legs tickle at your palm and god, holding it is making you retch. The seven inch centipede scuttles around your hand. It is clearly waiting for you to carry it over. With some hesitation, you head over to Lilith's corpse. The centipede leaps out of your hand to cling onto the corpse's face.
It makes a beeline towards Lilith's ear. A sickening crunching of flesh and cartilage is the only sound you can make out over your beating heart. Lilith's body begins to convulse and twitch as unnatural life begins to force itself back into the lifeless husk. It almost reminds you of the thug you tased except it's more controlled, focused. Groans and unintelligible moans ooze out of its mouth. Its eyes blink wildly. Its breathing is hitched and forced.
[UNSTABLE] It's like watching someone test drive a new car. Figuring out all of the unique quirks and flaws of it. Every vehicle is unique. It simply picked a new one.
'Lilith' gets up on one foot. Her second leg stops being dead weight and gets up as well. She straightens her back with a spine chilling crack. She opens and closes her mouth, testing various sounds with it. Soon, it speaks.
"Thank you for keeping it somewhat intact." It's her voice. There's still emotion in it but it has dampened, lost its spark. It is not her anymore. "This one is usable. For now."
