Jason thought of his options, his cousin looking at him with that 'daring' look. Somehow… just somehow looking all the more strange with her head in her arms. It was just so… so weird! What exactly could he do that would top getting ones head cut off? He certainly didn’t want to do that and he didn’t want to go anywhere near that kind of power. Watching his cousin do it was far more then enough.
“Okay,” Jason agreed. “I’ll do it- but there are a few rules.”
Lucy grinned, while her body struck a slightly leaning in pose. “I’m listening...”
“I don’t want my head separated from my body.”
Lucy rolled her eyes. “What, not even if you could put it back on?”
“No! I might lose it or something.” Jason felt more then a little creeped out by the mere possibility of losing a body part- then somehow losing it. Given his cousin was technically composed of two parts now semi autonomous, what would happen if she did lose her head?
“Okay fine,” Lucy sighed. “Under no circumstances can your head be removed. Happy?”
“Yeah.. so.. what do you have planned?” Jason looked at the blade cautiously.
Lucy though was trying to be imaginative. “To be honest, your rule has taken away about 99% of what I had planned to do.. but maybe we can still do something interesting.” She carefully made a selection. “I’m not too sure what this will do but I have to admit I am curious…”
“What about the whole.. reality changing thing. I’d like to be aware that I’ve changed too. So you got to involve me in the time stop, just like last time.”
Lucy gave it all some very careful thought. “Okay… however here’s my condition. You need to wear a blindfold and no peeking or saying anything until afterwards.”
Jason muttered. “yeah fine..”
“Great! Let’s go back to the bedroom. This is going to take a bit of work to prepare for...”
Jason waited, his legs twitching on the side. He was nervous… what was Lucy going to do? Maybe he should have been more assertive. He could still back out now right? Just forget all about doing this. The strange Katana felt like it could be dangerous- or at least should be. Though everything has gone as planned so far… but it seemed to him that Lucy wanted to try something much more exotic now. Maybe he should have just asked to get his head detached and re-attached.
Lucy started coming back into the room. To Jason's surprised with her head reattached.
"I thought you were enjoying headlessness" Jason said, tipping his head questioningly.
"Oh I am" grinned Lucy, picking her head off her shoulders and replacing it a couple of times. "I just made a little adjustment."
Jason's jaw dropped. "Oh no, you are not doing that to me!" he protested, pointing his finger at Lucy.
"Humph, fine" Lucy shrugged, tossing a blindfold at Jason. "Put this on and stand over here."
Jason made his way to the middle of his room, and put the blindfold around his head, resting it above his eyes.
"Okay, hold onto the handle" Lucy said, holding out the sheath toward him. As soon as he grabbed hold, Lucy clicked the red button, the yellow glowing blade shooting out between them. "Put the blindfold on now" she ordered.
Reluctantly Jason lowered the blindfold over his eyes. He was worried, he had no idea what his cousin had planned.
As soon as she confirmed Jason was unable to see, Lucy got to work. First of all she used the purple mode, with the purple end pointed towards Jason’s body as she cut at the neck. Technically this was not decapitation as there was no body at the end. It was.. erasure. Besides- it would be fixed in just a moment. She shifted the body aside and with time frozen.. it seemed Like Jason’s head was just floating in space. It was as if his body no longer existed.
For Jason there was a strange feeling of being disconnected. It was however very brief. Suddenly it wasn’t so bad and everything felt normal.
Feeling an itch on his nose, he reached up to scratch it, only to find he couldn't!
"Hey!" he shouted, "You promised you wouldn't cut off my head!"
"I promised you wouldn't be able to detach your head" she grinned, "now shush, I'm almost done".
Lucy then set the katana to duplication mode, Slicing the blue blade across her neck, she grabbed her hands on her waist and pushed them forwards, a copy of her body emerging in her hands.
The clone of her lower half was now left standing in the room beside her, hands on its waist. Lucy reached over and grabbed Jason's head.
"What's going on?!" gasped Jason, disoriented by the sudden motion.
Lucy shushed Jason, "almost done." she said, aligning his neck with the clone's. Setting the katana to replacement mode, she cut across his neck again, watching Jason's neck fuse to the clone of hers, then clicked the red button.
