"Okay, where the heck is Reizu!" Ptricia asked herself as she tried to crawl to the lift. "Could really use his help right about now!"<br/><br/>After two tries, she manged to slap the button that took her to the sub-level, and dragged herself out and accross the hallway to the kitchen. Her first stop was at a cupboard which she simply levered open with her clawed hand, being unable to grasp the recessed handle reliably. Itcontained her stash of emergency candy. Even more energy dense than meat, and easily assimilated, after a couple of hundred bars she was starting to recover slightly. The wrappers, which had defeated her ability to undo, had simply added some roughage.<br/><br/>Under normal circumstances Cream of Isis would have been part of the remedy, but with her body in it's current magically exsanguinated and unstable state, magical healing would be like drinking a bottle of nitroglycerine. Since she didn't want to be part of the decorations, she abstained, simply focussing on guiding the energy the candy had given her to make emergency repairs, enough that she could actually stand. Next the fridge, where she gulped down the organ meat from Babs that she'd been saving for making Hausenpeffer.<br/><br/>Rather than try to restore her abused flesh any further, she focussed on regaining at least some small part of her spell casting ability. Casting even low level animation spells was as hard as lifting a pyramid, but she managed to get some of the carcasses in the freezer room to drop off their hooks, and when she tottered over and opened the door, they trudged, zombie-like, out and into the corridor. Fortunately, Ptricia had a wand of Rapid Defrost in her cutlery drawer, massively useful for reducing cooking times when meals were as big as hers. Self powered, it only required activation.<br/><br/>She followed them, leaning on the wall, but at least now walking after a fashion, as she guided them down to where Chris was. She stood well back as she called out the pass phrase to open the door, and sent the half dozen anthro and cattle carcasses lurching in.
