Riff paused, and glanced back. "Something wrong?" he wanted to know. "Do you not want to carry the body parts? I could do that if you wish. Or is something else wrong?" Audrey wasn't quite dead yet, but it wouldn't be long before she was. She was pretty much just suffocating inside Twoey. The fact that she was weakening and still bleeding wasn't helping at all.

"Damn her. SN just decided to deprive me of my powers again," Evanesce fumed. This was the main reason she hated her creator. She was always doing crap like this. It annoyed her. Her wings ruffled, showing how annoyed she was. "Okay Keishii, your turn!" SN threw a pokeball in the air, revealing a Kadabra. "Teleport!" The pokemon disappeared, then reappeared with Audrey. SN thought for a moment, trying to figure out what she could do to help. "I could help..." Cura offered, making SN jump. She hadn't realized the little green-haired girl was there.

"Okay then." Riff quickly lost interest in the conversation and led the way up to the lab. "Now, lay the parts out on the floor. This is where we have to do things right or everything's screwed up," he told Evanesce. Audrey was limp, barely breathing. She could just barely tell that she was somehow outside the plant now, but she didn't know how that happened, nor could she bring herself to perk up and react somehow.

Evanesce did as told, trying to not touch anything while laying it out. Of course, that wasn't working too well. So she just did it as quickly as possible, then stepped a few paces away. Cura walked over and placed her hand on Audrey's shoulder as SN recalled her pokemon. The little pixie-like girl healed the sword-wound first, then started healing the other wounds, which there weren't really many of, other than anemia.

"You got the pieces laid out the way you want them connected?" Riff asked, rummaging through a small toolbox for some bandages. "The pieces will connect exactly the way you have them. So if you have a leg on backwards or something, that's how he'll turn out." Once she was sure she had the pieces laid out correctly, he'd start bandaging the body to hold it together. He'd have to get it into the tank (dubbed the "gene pool" by some) and fill it with chemicals. Audrey moved slightly, slowly lifting a hand to touch Cura, wondering how the girl was healing her. She could tell she was being healed because she didn't feel as bad as she did a moment ago. She opened her eyes partway.

Evanesce frowned, then straightened an arm and flipped a leg around. Once she was sure she nodded. "Yeah, I think I got it right." If I didn't I'm screwed, she added mentally. Without her powers to protect her, it wasn't a good idea for her to make her abusive boyfriend mad. Cura quickly finished up neatly. She couldn't help the exhaustion though. Audrey'd just have to rest a bit. SN was scolding Twoey. "I told you you're not supposed to eat people!" SN said accusingly. "But I was hungry, what else am I supposed to eat?!" Twoey snapped back. "Go eat a death row prisoner or something!" SN snarled back.

Riff tossed a roll of bandages at Evanesce. "Start wrapping him up," he ordered. "You only really have to wrap the parts that are going to connect, but you might as well wrap the whole thing in case he starts falling apart when I try to move it." He knelt down to start bandaging the head, then frowned. "Don't do the head yet, I need to examine it and make sure whatever is in the wounds is out. If there's too much damage, we might need a replacement skull or brain. Possibly another head if things look really bad." Audrey struggled to sit up. She hated feeling weak like this. After a moment or two, she managed to get herself up into what could be considered a sitting position.

Evanesce had started wrapping him up, only to look up in slight alarm. If they had to replace the head, it wouldn't be the same person, really. Her eyes were suddenly much, much darker. She had to think of something else if it came to that. Hmmm...SN had forced her to watch a movie not long ago where they brought back some pirate by going to some 'world's end' place. Maybe that would work. "Are you okay?" Cura asked quietly, staring at the blond concernedly. She wanted to make sure she really did heal her.

Riff started probing the gunshot wounds, fishing a few bullets out of Orin's skull with an odd probe-like device. Once he got the bullets out, he examined the wounds closely. "Well, it looks like the skull is cracked a bit, but it should heal itself. He might seem a bit off, though, because there's been a bit of damage to the brain. Nothing's going to need to be replaced, unless you want it to be." Audrey silently gave Cura a small nod. She was okay, physically. She just hurt a little inside-- she had killed someone she had once loved (a long time ago, but she had loved him at one point).

Evanesce was suddenly smiling to herself though, not listening. "I've got a better idea. Where's that pirate SN's obsessed with? I'm goin' to World's End!" Evanesce was slightly excited by the thought. "Good," SN smiled happily. Cura wrapped her arms around Audrey. "What's wrong?" the little girl asked, trying to figure out how to comfort her. But she couldn't without knowing the cause of her upset-ness.

Riff glanced at Evanesce, confused. He had no clue what she was talking about. "World's End? Pirate?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow. Audrey didn't really feel like telling. Besides, she didn't even know why she felt so bad about it. She was probably just crazy for having liked the one who had abused her. So she just gave a small shrug, refusing to look at Cura.

"Ask SN, I gotta go," Evanesce said sharply, and returned to the treehouse. "OY! PIRATE GUY SN LIKES! JACK! JACK SPARROW!" She needed someone that'd already been there to take her there. She scooped her sword up off the ground and stuck it in a holster on her belt. She was wearing the usual hip hugger jeans and tight-fitting T-shirt. ((Hey, if you wanna do the whole 'My ship' argument I can play Barbossa. XD For some reason, that insane mutinous Pirate makes me laugh.)) Cura stared at her for another moment. "Well, whatever's wrong, I'm sure it'll be okay."

Riff stared as Evanesce left, then turned back to Orin's body. "Well, looks like I'll have to do this myself," he said to the body as he finished the wrapping. Audrey still said nothing, almost like she was ignoring Cura. But she wasn't; she actually was listening. She just didn't think she could explain herself. (Sure, go ahead and do it.) Jack looked up at the sound of his name, from where he was hiding behind a stack of crates and drinking. "That's me name."

"I have a need to request that you take me to World's end. And refusing isn't an option," Evanesce growled, trying to look as threatening as possible. "Because you have a ship and know how to get there." She pulled out her sword, ready to strike if he refused. Cura still looked concerned. "If you need to talk, I'll listen. I won't get mad, whatever you did."

"Why d'ya wanna go?" Jack wanted to know, standing up and staring suspiciously at Evanesce. He needed a good reason before he'd agree to go back there. He didn't really like that place. "I-I killed my former boyfriend," Audrey finally said softly, almost too softly to be heard.
