Chapter #8

Falls off! It won't reattach to her body!

    by: Shadow Writer Author IconMail Icon
As she lets go of her head, it immediately falls off and you have to quickly reach out to catch it and stop it from falling hard onto the ground.

This stumped you. You really had no idea that it would be possible for a body part to reattach after seeing all the magic that this rapier could do.
Of course, then it occured to you that maybe there was a sort of glitch in the magic, in that technically only one mind could control a body and it may accidentally count a physical head in that regard. Since Jessica's mind was in her chest rather than her body, that would probably cause it to not work.

Jessica put her hands on her hips and you'd imagine that, if it were possible, she'd be glaring at you. You hand her head back to her and before she tries to put it on again, she feels around it to make sure it's the face she grew up with. Eventually satisfied, she then attempts multiple times to put her head back on her neck, only to find to no avail that it just won't stick.

She then passed her head back to you and shrugged, confused.

You wonder if there is a way around this problem and suddenly an idea comes to mind.

Carefully, you slice off one of Jessica's ears from her head and then attach it to her neck stump. Jessica jumps lightly at the sudden rush of a reconnected sensor.
"Jessica, do a thumbs up sign if you can hear me"
Without hesitation, she does the thumbs up sign.
"Okay. I don't really know why, but your head won't reattach to your body. I'm not faking it or anything. Are you okay?"
Thumbs up again.
"This might be a stupid question, but do you actually want your head back?"
Jessica seems to hesitate here for a second, then makes the thumbs down sign.
"Seriously?"
Double thumbs down.
"Uhhh... okay... Can I have it then?"

If Jessica had a face, you could imagine a multitude of different emotions emblazoned upon it. However, right now she had to be content to express her emotion through her hands. In this case, it came as a surprising thumbs up.
"Seriously? Sweet! Is there anything else you want then?"

Jessica pauses for a second, then makes a slicing gesture across her attached ear.
"Seriously? You must be really happy being headless then"
Jessica makes what passes for a nod.

You then pick up the rapier and aim for her ear...
