Glere began to move forward, only to wind up slapping himself in the face. A look of confusion came over his expression as he went to look at his left hand, only to to abruptly kick his right leg with his left, making him fall down with a thud.
"That's...not good." Asteria said to herself, suddenly aware she wasn't looking out of Glere's eyes, well, she was, and yet, was not. She shook her head.
"Ugh, double vision." She once again tried getting Glere to stand, only to wind up having him slap himself again.
"AUGH, RESPOND DANGIT!"
"That won't work that easily I'm afraid." Glere's voice suddenly echoed in Asteria's own head. She blinked, and upon opening her eyes, found a strange setting with but a single table in the center, with a teapot on the side and two cups. Glere had already been sipping repeatedly, the tea filling the bowl.
"I don't like uninvited guests, but I have to warn you, you really picked the wrong man to try mind games with. Not that it's a warning, more of one of those unfortunate implications."
Asteria narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when suddenly a small marionette fashioned in Glere's likeness descended from the darkness above them.
"It's like a puppet, you have to know how to work the strings!" It said making jarring motions with every word, before receding into the sky. The table then sunk into the floor with ripples appearing over it like a drop of water in a pond. Asteria tilted her head, still confused by all of this.
"If you're trying to intimidate me you're wasting your time. I'm already dead, so it's not like things can get much worse. You are under my control after all."
Glere's voice just echoed back out of the darkness.
"You may have control over my body, but you are a guest in a house which has no doors or windows. Go ahead, try and escape of your own accord, see what comes of it."
"...nice try! I almost fell for that, but the game is afoot and I will play it to my heart's content."
"Have fun." Suddenly the lights went out entirely, leaving Asteria with one eye on the outside world, the other gazing back into Glere's mind. The right hand suddenly reached into the cape, pulling out a sharpie, scribbling a googly eyed face on the left hand, which formed into a hand puppet, before Asteria finally could control the motor functions... except of the left arm and hand which just stared at her through the hand puppet.
"...Right, moving on then."
That was weird. Now, about that arm...
Asteria tried to force the left arm to move again, only to wind up slapping Glere in the face again.
