Yzma already had such details, it was just that she found the whole thing very tedious and time-consuming and had little talent in that regard anyway. It required skills she didn't have and didn't care to develop. She'd gotten ahold of one of Kodako's golems that she'd disabled in the process of going back after some hidden supplies, turning it over to the salesman had been payment on her end of the deal.
She'd just gotten the potion and was anxious to see if it worked as advertised. If it did, then she was going to have to do more business with that particular company.
The fluid went down the funnel and into the drugged girl's mouth, and a few strokes of her throat inticed her to swallow it. Choking on it would have been momentarily amusing, but this was all about VENGEANCE. Odd how the salesman's eyes had lit up on hearing that. Vengeance quests must rake in the money. Well, Yzma could see how that could be the case.
Yzma stepped back with the funnel as the girl's body suddenly spasmed and her mouth opened wide. The girl's eyes stared at the ceiling and a wind began to flutter through the room. All of which was good in Yzma's eyes as a certain dramatic effect really did add to the atmosphere.
The changes began to spread, first from the chest as it took a darker hue, which visibly spread along the girl's arteries. When the whole body had turned that hue, it began fading to something approaching her previous coloration but then other changes were occurring.
The girl aged. Going from a twelve-year-old undeveloped form, to perhaps seventeen or eighteen. Taller, more developed, and quite obviously past pubescence. Her skin was smooth, slightly shiny, and had seams appearing. The joints however were made of brass or something that looked like brass, emphasizing the artificial nature of the golem.
When the changes finally ran their course, the body seemed to go limp again and the eyes shut with a click. Turning the body over, Yzma noted the wind-up mechanism and the little lever next to it. Clicking that rewarded her with the sound of the gears and springs within the golem releasing their stored up energy.
Perfect.
She'd just throw this doll somewhere and torment that brat with the idea of his girlfriend being on a rubbage heap somewhere, then blackmail him with the location.
Kronk shook his head at the now-crated puppet. There were times this whole 'minion to the evil witch' thing didn't sit well with him. Oh well, he'd signed the contract knowing there would be chores like this.
"Now, let's see," mused Kronk aloud as he hauled the crate on his cart. "Yzma said to put it out of the way but somewhere safe. Somewhere she can get to it later. Maybe these abandoned apartments? One of them should do."
Finding that one of the apartments on the floor showed signs of recent use, he chose the one next door which had been abandoned for quite some time.
"Huh, squirrels have been through here recently," said Kronk, again to himself. "Have to remember to ask them about that after they get back from their 'sabotage the training grounds' and the 'find that cat' mission."
