Nails Painted Red [Verdada, Catherine]

Oh there it was~

Finally, some desperation! A manic grin spread across Verdada's features as a wheezing giggle bubbled up from her throat. "There ...she is!" She croaked out, giggling to herself as she stared Catherine in the eyes!

And then she grasped the hand that was locked onto her throat. And squeezed, That smile of hers never faltering as slowly, those fingers were, without any real effort, slowly pried off of her throat with Verdada's savage strength. Leaning in so incredibly close as she slowly turned the woman's hand, and brought it toward the throat of Catherine's physical body. That smile of hers widening as she molded Catherine's fingers toward her own throat. So she could feel the beating of her own still-living heart.

"Can't you hear the pitter-pat?~
And that Happy tune is your step.
Just direct yo feet. Tooooo the sunny side of the street~" She sang, slowly squeezing down, forcing Catherine to slowly apply pressure to that neck, just barely on the verge of making her choke herself. Not in the slightest bit alarmed. And at long last, she turned, and whispered into Cath's ear.

"Hey. Remember Steve?~" She whispered, and brought her free hand up to grab the back of Catherine's head, as if for just one moment, she was about to collapse the woman's spine with her own skull.
Just. Like. Steve.

But she didn't~
With a prompt and vicious shove, she spun Catherine around and shoved her right back into her body, No doubt shocking Catherine's system as she, and the shot of venom inside her, were reintroduced to her physical form all at once, all was Verdada chuckled ontop of her, her one hand peeling free from the woman as she broke out into a fit of mirth. "Ahhh that was so perfect! You really thought you were gonna die there!" She grinned, a hand still resting on Cath's forehead as she then leaned down and sighed, that lopsided smile was casual, as if she couldn't crush the girl's skull at any moment.

"Hey. No hard feelings. right?~" She asked. But with the way she was smiling down at Cath, it wasn't a question.

She grinned as she watched those hands lunged onto her throat. But of course, Catherine wasn't nearly strong enough to knock Verdada over her, and nthe woman's nex FLEXED into that grasp as Catherine attempted to strangle her. That buggbling laugh ringing out as she stared down at the woman's face. Heedless. Her expression not changing in the slightest. Even if Vatherine squeezed with all of her might. Even if she Squeezed. If she punched. If she clawed. Even if she dug her nails in and started ripping into Verdada's throat, until blood spurted and splatted all over the woman. She'd only smile. As flesh would almost instantly remold itself shut, stitching itself at lightning speed. Enough so that Verdada could swing.

Her fist rocketing in to slam into Catherine's forearms with enough force to break both of them and slam them into the floor next to her with shattering force. Even if that ordeal caused the grip on Cath's hand to rip a chunk out of her throat in the meantime, her neck would be healed within seconds anyway, enough that as her palms would stamp down on cath's wrists, that song would kick back in.

"I used to walk in the shade. With those blues on parade~
And now I'm not afraid~" She sang gaily, slowly applying more and more pressure on both the woman's skull and her forearms. Enough to make those fractured bones sing with pain as she stared down at Cath.As that song sang with her feathers, once again drilling into Catherine from all sides as Verdada peeled her palm back just enough for a bright green light to swell to life over Catherine's forehead.

"This rover's. croooooossed....." She paused, the next line of the verse in her mind. And that cero petered out as she seemed to ...reconsider. "Cmon Verd... you silly goose. Sorry girly, but this Rover is too green to cross over~" She hummed, winking down at Cath. "So. What's it gonna be? We can be friends or enemies Cat~ We can leave here thick as thieves. Or. I can break your arms and legs. And I'll leave you here so you can hope that someone nice finds you in the morning. What's it gonna be...Jack?~"

Verd was pleased to see that some sense bled back into the girl's eyes. If nothing else but cold, sobering fear. But hey, better that than nothing. And who knew, maybe this little weirdo would wind up killing her someday. Still, she'd prefer that not be today, and so she raised a brow slightly at the request offered by the girl. A slight smirk forming as she let her head tilt to the side.

"Color me skeptical. But why exactly would I help you heal when you just finished trying to maul my throat? Anything in particular keeping you from trying to kill me? Not to mention, how do I know your spit isn't poisonous? You've got hollow points in you. And your spiritual pressure is higher than mine. Sure I can physically overpower you. But what exactly is in it for me for putting myself at risk to let you heal?" She ventured with a tilt of her head. That smile sill so very slightly present as she waited for an answer.

Breaking her arms AND her legs was still on the table. ESPECIALLY now that Cath had revealed that she could regenerate, conditional as it were. That meant she'd have to be much more thorough if she couldn't trust them.

.

Verdada chuckled softly at that and sighed. "Oh yea?~ That thing I told you? Hmmmm, fair enough." She chimed, flicking her wrist, producing a feather in a slight of hand before sticking her tongue out and tilting her head back. A soft slicing sound as she severed her tongue. And of course. She didn't know about giving this woman more of her blood than she needed to. Awful suspicious that she asked for that specifically. And so, she swished her tongue around in her mouth, gulping softly, swallowing all the blood, before she spat her tongue into her palm and smiled.

"Open up girly." She chimed as she held the lump of flesh over the woman's mouth. Having no intention of letting the woman's mouth near her.

If nothing else, she was pleased the girl was being more honest. Heh, to think that Cath could have avoided all this by doing that from the beginning. She didn't bother bringing it up though, Cath would either not believe her or be pissed~
