A lab in the dusty, old attic of the necromancer's house. On a
table in the center of the attic lies a woman made of body parts sewn
together. A metal band encircles her head and it's connected to a lightning
rod that extends up through the roof of the attic. Spare body parts litter
the floor. On a shelf behind the necromancer is a row of brains, neatly
labeled and stored in jars.

-> {*} Narrator speaks in a droll and creepy voice...

{*} Narrator says, "On the seedy side of Sable there is a house"
{*} Narrator says, "Where no creature is safe, not even a mouse."
{*} Narrator says, "A warped old necromnacer lives there."
{*} Narrator says, "A creepy dude with crazy hair."

-> {*} Caleed leans over the table, needle in hand.
-> {*} Caleed peers intently as he sews the body together.
-> {*} Caleed quickly drops the needle midstich as he lurches for a nearby
   tankard of ale, draining half of it at once.

{*} Caleed says, "Igor! Quick now an arm and a leg!"
{*} Caleed says, "And don't forget my refill from the keg."

(*) Igor enters the stage from the right.

-> {*} Igor shuffles in looking agitated and covered in grime and filth from
   digging up body parts.
-> {*} Igor shuffles along, dragging one leg behind him and muttering to
   himself.

-> {*} Igor grumbles, "I'm tired of digging in the ground"
{*} Igor says, "Like some old flea bit hound."

{*} Caleed says, "I want a wench to cook and be my maid."
{*} Caleed says, "Clean my house and maybe she'll get laid."

{*} Igor says, "Whiskey is sour, mead is sweet"
{*} Igor says, "Here's a lovely maiden's feet."

{*} Caleed says, "I'm almost finished, I'm almost there"
{*} Caleed says, "I need some hooters and bring a spare."

-> {*} Igor grumbles very loudly

{*} Igor says, "Get a leg! Now get a heart!"
{*} Igor says, "I'm tired of working for this old fart."

-> {*} Narrator rolls eyes and speaks sarcastically...

{*} Narrator says, "This is original. It's never been done."
{*} Narrator says, "Creating a woman in a lab is fun!"
{*} Narrator says, "He's gonna use lighning to bring her to life."
{*} Narrator says, "One good zap and he'll have his wife."

{*} Igor crosses to the shelf behind the necromancer.
{*} Igor glances over the shelf and then looks at something written on his
     hand.
{*} Igor scratches his head looking stupid, then glancing to see if the
     necromancer is watching, scratches his crotch too.

{*} Igor says, "It's written here on my palm"
{*} Igor says, "Just grab a brain and stay calm."

{*} Igor sighs loudly
{*} Igor moans and rubs at his temples.

{*} Igor says, "Oh my head! Drinking all that stout"
{*} Igor says, "makes it hard to figure this out."

{*} Caleed waltzes briskly about the room with piece of a torso
{*} Caleed bursts out into song, both loud and painfully off-key

{*} Caleed sings, "Her eyes are red, her lips are blue,"
{*} Caleed sings, "I'll be glad when this is through."
{*} Caleed sings, "I'm tired of living in this mess."
{*} Caleed sings, "My little maid will be the best!"

{*} Igor finishes studying his hand and grabs the jar with HOUSEWIFE on it.

{*} Caleed sings, "One leg is longer than the other."
{*} Caleed sings, "The left one's not the right one's brother."
{*} Caleed sings, "For hours and hours I've stiched with gut."
{*} Caleed sings, "If you don't like her, kiss my butt! "

Lightning FLASHES!

{*} Igor jumps in fright and the jar slips from his hand.

The brain hits the ground with a *SPLUT*

{*} Igor gasps in horror as he looks down at the shattered jar.
{*} Igor wrings his hands together

{*} Igor says, "Oh great, I dropped the brain!"
{*} Igor says, "All that work down the drain."
{*} Igor says, "Now I'll have to look for more."
{*} Igor says, "Oh wait! Here's one from a whore!"

{*} Igor gives the brain from the jar labelled 'Whore' to the necromancer.

{*} Caleed removes the brain from the jar, oblivious to the switch, and
     crams it into the skull forcefully attaching it in place

{*} Caleed says, "Stand back! Stand clear!"
{*} Caleed says, "The time is drawing near."
{*} Caleed says, "A little zap and she'll be here!"

There is a CLAP of thunder and a FLASH of lightning!

{*} Philia flutters her lashes and begins to wakeup.

Lightning travels down the rod and sparks can be seen all around the metal
band encircling the woman's head.


{*} Caleed says, "Igor look! See the sparks around her head?"
{*} Caleed says, "I'll soon make life from what was dead."

{*} Igor looks sneeringly at the woman

{*} Caleed rubs his hands together, cackling gleefully!
{*} Caleed says, "Rejoice now Igor! Our work is done!"
{*} Caleed says, "She's alive, I tell you! Isn't this fun?"
{*} Caleed says, "So beautiful, and sturdy, as all can see."
{*} Caleed says, "Reknown my name in my guild will be!"

{*} Philia wiggles 11 of her 13 toes

{*} Igor mutters under his breath, looking disgusted.
{*} Igor says, "Beautiful he says? That man is blind."
{*} Igor says, "Perhaps after several casks of wine!"

{*} Philia reaches up and pulls the necromancer into a passionate kiss, her
     hand roaming down and squeezing his bottom with all eight fingers.

Ewww was that a little tongue?

{*} Caleed pulls back, obviously startled, "I gave you two tongues?!"

{*} Caleed says, "Arise, woman there's work to be done!"
{*} Caleed says, "The kitchen needs cleaning, you'll cook me some buns."
{*} Caleed says, "The bathroom needs scrubbing, an all day affair,"
{*} Caleed says, "My clothes need some mending, I've nothing to wear."

{*} Philia says, "Egads! man you're crazy if you think that I would"
{*} Philia says, "make a round trip to Mortis just to come serve a fool!"
{*} Philia says, "I have lust in my veins now, and vice in my heart,"
{*} Philia says, "So if you want some cleaning, you best make a start!"

{*} Philia hops up from the table with a wiggle, body parts jiggling in the
     most unalluring places as seams threaten to burst. She primps her hair
     and makes a dash for the door.

{*} Igor looks out the door and shrugs.

{*} Caleed stares after Philia, speechless and completely aghast

{*} Igor shuffles out, dragging a leg behind him.

And that is the tale of Philia's creation. Be sure to watch ofr further
adventures of Philia and her friends!
