One foot up. One foot down. One foot up. One foot down. One foot up...

It was an interesting body, to say the least. It had four legs, but two of them were... different. Not used for walking, that much was certain. They seemed to be for gripping things, which made sense in a way- this creature's mouth was very small, and was in too awkward a position on the body to be used for holding anything.

One foot up. One foot down. One foot up. One foot down. One foot up...

The odd number of functional legs made walking a challenge, of course. Uttara's body moved jerkily through the brush, it's controllers trying desperately to keep it balanced. The corpse's footsteps were slow and halting, with seemingly no regard for where it was going. It's two eyes moved independantly of eachother, keeping watch- both for predators, and for more of whatever Uttara was.

One foot up. One foot down. One foot up. One foot... There.

Visible through the dense thicket was another two-footed body, this one still living. Uttara moved forwards purposefully, stumbling over itself in it's eagerness to greet it's fellow... thing. Maybe this one wouldn't flee as if Uttara was a predator. Maybe.

Emerging from the brush and onto an oddly bare strip of land, the corpse stopped and stared at the animal. Uttara's arm's were stiff at her sides, her jaw slack. What was once curly hair was matted with twigs and branches. An odd smell wafted off of the corpse- not quite death, but similar. An arm was raised, and shook back and forth in a bizarre mockery of a wave hello. Digging through the fragments of memories that were left of it's host, Uttara opened her mouth and spoke in a strange, gravelly voice.

"Helloooo..."
