The ninth day of the haunting
TW: Fleshcrafting
Fleshcrafter Paull DeCutter had been at his work all night. It wasn’t like he needed sleep, after all, so he took the opportunity to slowly, painstakingly harvest ‘parts’ for his work. And with the faction conflict over, there had been many less parts for him to find. He hadn’t felt right about using the victims of the Dalaran crash. Even he had standards, after all.
The hunched Forsaken ignored the flickering candlelight that illuminated the Apothecarium as he stacked a usable arm with some other limbs from his efforts earlier in the night. There was just one more he wanted to harvest before moving them to his makeshift freezer.
He approached the body of an overly large orc to look it over. Standing tall and virile in life, the orc’s body was still in peak condition. It made DeCutter wonder what had brought him here. He didn’t dwell on it, however. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could get back to his reading, and he’d acquired a very interesting book on history, brought back from an Earthen bookseller in far away Dornogal.
With his thoughts on future plans, he didn’t notice the orc’s fingers twitching….
“Let us see, mister orc. Perhaps a farming accident, hmm? More’s the pity for you, but that arm will surely make one of my people strong…if a bit green.” The fleshcrafter had been in the habit of talking to his subjects and this one was no exception. “I might want a few other pieces as well. I’m sure you won’t mind.”
Microscopic movement was missed once again as he turned to reach for the tools of his trade. The hand quivered, then flexed once, twice, three times before stretching out in Paull’s direction. As the Forsaken bent to begin his task, strong, dead fingers shot up to grasp his arm.
DeCutter cried out and pulled away. Stumbling back, he fell into the pile of limbs and organs he’d previously removed…just as they sprung back to life and pressed him into their pile.
OOC for RP: RPers may find reanimated limbs and body parts in places where bodies may be found. This includes the replacement body parts that Forsaken may have attached. The limbs may seem to have a life and opinions of their own, and may sporadically act in ways that are unexpected. This could be a one-time occurrence or happening over many hours or days.
