[Evil Tink]

She looked to Melody, then to Holden, "Well, it's basically going to be a routine reattachment, once we get the finagling done. First off, she has to die but we can't just..rip the doll apart and expect her to die, or allow her energy to deplete. We have to use a spell to kill her; that's how I designed her attachment...and..that's as far as we got so far...until we reattach her. It's just the middle that's being difficult. We can't just take her spirit and slap it into another body, it just doesn't work that way. Her Ethereal make-up is already altered compared to a normal spirit, giving us further difficulties. I've only done a doll attachment once, with Ariel; and I never intended to attach her to a real body." She leaned back slightly, closing her eyes, "I suppose I could try to restore her original Ethereal make-up after we kill her..but..I haven't done that before and I don't want to mess up..that's what is really taking us so long; we're being extra careful to get the details right."

Melody frowned a bit as Azriel talked, 'I don't want to 'die' again. It was rather unpleasant.'
