Try some experiments

"Hm, there is something I want to try. If it works, it should shut her up." You say, motioning towards the wooden box as you continue to listen to Emily's muffled screams.

"Oh really?" Steph asked, "What are you going to do, cut the her head in half so that she doesn't have a mouth anymore?"

"That's an interesting idea, but eventually someone is going to wonder where she is, so this should be the best of both worlds." you reply as you lift Steph's former headless body and use the guillotine to remove all four limbs, afterward placing the torso on a nearby bench, "Okay, next I'll need to cut your head off. Don't worry, I'll switch it back to your current body when I'm done."

Shrugging her shoulders, Steph places her neck under the blade and you let it fall, severing her head from her body. You pick it up and hand it to her, "Here, hold on to yourself for now. Time for part two."

Next, you pick up the lifeless torso and place it on the guillotine so that if it had a neck, it would be under the blade. Turning to the wooden box, you pull it out and remove the lid. Emily squinted her eyes as they adjusted to the light. "NOW what are you going to do to me? You already took my body, what else can you possibly take?"

"Your memory of ever having a body in the first place." You said with an evil grin while you watch the horror contort Emily's face when she realizes what you mean. You lift her head out of the box and carry it towards the guillotine and hold her neck against the torso. As soon as they connect, Emily starts thrashing around as best as she can with no limbs while the detached appendages flailed uselessly on the floor. You then sit on top of her to pin her down and prevent her from moving while you flip the switch to alter reality. Finally, you pull the cord and cut Emily's head off.

"GOD DAMN IT, YOU ASSHOLE! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Emily screamed as you pick her head up.

"Yes I will, because if I'm right, nobody will think you ever had a body, yourself included." You say as you cover her mouth with your hand to drown out her screaming, "Hang tight, Steph, I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay," She replied, placing her detached head on the desk she was leaning against.

You carry Emily's head down the hall and into the den, where you toss her head across the room and onto the couch, where it lands but bounces onto the floor. You listen to her continue to scream in anger as you walk back to the garage. You see Steph's old body parts, still controlled by Emily, continue to flail, and you see Steph's current headless body stretching her arms behind her back, sticking her chest out. You have to admit that seeing that body stand and move on its own power without an underage head attached to it is driving you crazy and making you incredibly horny.

"So, what's this plan of yours?" Steph's detached head asked.

"Well, I figure the reality altering button doesn't seem to work on people who see the guillotine in action, so I figure, if Emily doesn't see me attach your head to the body she controls now, when she loses feeling in it, she will forget she ever had a body in the first place." You explain.

"Wow, that really does sound like the ultimate revenge." Steph said, picking up her head and walking over to hand it to you while you pin the writhing torso back down on the guillotine.

"Make sure you sit that body down so it doesn't get hurt when you lose control." You suggest as you take Steph's head. After she does so, you connect her to her former body. You see her smiling up at you, and you realize what position you were in with the young girl and quickly jumped up off the bench.

"So, do you think it worked?" Steph asked, her detached arms drumming on the floor.

"Well, I certainly don't hear any more screaming. Let's get you back on that other body and see." You say before pulling the cord and once again cutting off Steph's head. You place it on the more mature body. The two of you then went to the den to check on Emily. After you find where her head had landed and you pick her up, you ask, "So, Em, still mad at me?"

"Well, it would have been nice if you had placed me nicely on the couch and left the TV on for me." She replied, rolling her eyes.

"You don't miss having a body?" Steph asked.

"Hey, I know I'm different, but it hasn't stopped me from living life to the fullest with lots of friends!" Emily said defensively, "Not like I can really understand what I'm missing out on, I've always been like this."

"It worked!" You and Steph both laugh.

"What worked? What are you two talking about?" Emily said, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of you, "Just put me down and give me my remote so I can watch TV!"

"Yeah, sure." you say, placing her head down gently on the couch. You find an odd, crescent shaped universal remote with large buttons sitting on the coffee table that you have never seen until now, figuring it to be a side effect of your altered reality, you pick it up and place it under Emily's chin. She sticks her tongue out and uses it to press the buttons to turn on the TV and channel surf.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Steph asks.

"Actually..."

You have the following choices:

1. Take Emily around town to see how other people react

2. Play with the guillotine some more.
