how about 3 troll girls of your choice quite literally losing their heads?
Aradia pranced under the ancient, monolithic arches, leadingKanaya and Vriska into her newest excavation. A few trolls and humans werescattered here-and-there, carefully brushing sand off of priceless artifacts,but the groupâs leader paid them no mind as she led the other two towards thetempleâs entrance.
âThis is so exciting!â Aradia squealed, turningaround to face the others and starting to walk backwards. âThe firstintact Suomenusko temple! In fact, the onlySuomenusko temple! We didnât even know if they existed!â
âWhat, satellites havenât combed every inch of theplanet yet?â Vriska asked grumpily, obviously not wanting to be here.
âWeâve had the data, but no human or troll had laidtheir eyes on the right image yet. Thereâs a lot of planet to scour, and theforest doesnât help matters.â
âHmph,â Vriska grunted as Aradia turned around tomake sure she didnât slam into the ornate doorway. âStill wish I was upon-orbit getting wasted and kicked out of casinos.â
âVriska,â Kanaya said, âcasinos do not playgames of chance. Your luck wonât help you.â
Vriska turned and grinned. âWeâll see about that when Iget out of this backwater country.â
Kanaya sighed, knowing full well that there was no point inarguing with Vriska. Sheâs just have to learn the hard way that the odds donâtmatter when one player is cheating.
âThis way!â Aradia gestured to them, herding themdown a side passage adorned with elaborate depictions of the templeâsconstruction into a large room. It was roughly a square with three doors on theopposite side. Above each door was an aspect symbol - one for space, one fortime, and one for light - and in front of them were three slabs, sportinglimb-straps and a headrest.
â⌠Okay, thatâs pretty weird,â Vriska saidcautiously, approaching the light door. She felt around for an obvious way toopen it, but found none.
âHow did they know?â Kanaya asked Aradia, who wassitting down on her slap.
âDonât know yet. Thatâs what weâre here to find out!Tairekâs got a theory that only a space player can open the space door, and thesame for the others. â
âOkay, Iâm in,â Vriska said, clapping her handstogether.
Kanayaâs brow furrowed. âWhy?â
âUh, duh? Thereâs probably a super-awesome, legendaryancient weapon here! Iâve got to get my hands on that!â
âYouâve been playing too many video gamesâŚâKanaya berated her, turning to Aradia. âWhat do we need to do?â
Just then, another Aradia materialized in a flash of redgears. She motioned for the past Aradia to get up, and future Aradia sat downonto her slab. âWell, itâs to do with these blocks. Aradia, strap us allin. Keep our hair off the slabs.â
Past Aradia complied with her future selfâs request,strapping her in first - legs, arms, and resting her head on the headrest.
âUm, I donât think-â Kanaya began before Vriskainterrupted her.
âCome on, fussyfangs! Live a little! Why would these behere if not to open the doors?â
âHmm, letâs see⌠ritual sacrifice, BDSM torturedungeonâŚâ
âOkay, stop right there. I donât want to know what youand your matesprit do in your alone time, alright?â
Kanaya just smirked and waggled her eyebrows, causing Vriskato plead with past Aradia âJust strap me in already.â She was morethan happy to do so, making sure Vriska was well-secured before moving ontoKanaya. She tapped her foot impatiently.
âYou already saw me acquiesce to this, didnâtyou?â Kanaya asked.
âYeah, itâs inevitable unless you want to doom thetimeline,â future Aradia confirmed from her bondage.
Kanaya sighed. âFine. Just do it,â she relented,rolling over onto her stomach and spreading her limbs out, which past Aradiaquickly secured.
âNow what?â Past Aradia asked.
Just then the ground started to rumble. A recess opened upin a nearby wall, revealing a lever. Once it was fully extended, the rumblingstopped.
âNow you pull that,â Future Aradia said.
Past Aradia walked up to the lever, feeling its rough,age-worn handle with care. âYep, this shouldnât crumble when I pull it.You girls ready?â
A chorus of affirmatives reached her ears.
âOkay! In three⌠two⌠oneâŚâ
Past Aradia pulled the lever. Three metallic clinks soundedout, as well as two startled gasps. Three more Aradias materialized in front ofthe strapped-down trolls, catching something black and carefully puttingwhatever it was down, before all but one disappeared. Â The remaining Aradia pointed in front of thedevices, and lever Aradia had to move a bit to see what she was pointing at.
When she saw, she gasped.
The heads of future her and her two friends were lying onthe floor, complete with two equally-shocked expressions.
Immediately, lever-Aradia went back to catch the heads asshe had seen herself do, leaving only two Aradias left.
Vriska was the first to speak up. âWhat the shit?âshe said, her body straining against her bonds. âWhat is going on?âKanaya remained silent, occasionally closing her eyes and re-opening them,obviously not believing what had just happened.
Future Aradia, on the other hand, grinned. âWe all lostour heads!â
Vriska turned hostile, trying to turn her severed head tolook at future Aradia. âYou. You knew about this?â
Past Aradia tentatively approached Vriska, rotating her headso she faced the others.
âYep! Pretty great, huh?â
Vriska spluttered. âWhat? No! No, itâs not great!â Vriskaâs bodyâs strugglesintensified. âYou just cut off myfucking head!â
Past Aradia decided to make herself useful, tiptoeing aroundthe slabs to free future Aradiaâs body.
âI am inclined⌠to agree with Vriska,â Kanayasaid carefully, still very much in shock. âHow is- how is this âgreatâ,exactly?â
Instead of answering the questing, future Aradia begancounting down, as her body moved around and picked up her head. âThreeâŚtwo⌠oneâŚâ
And with another rumble, the three doors opened; stone slabsreceding into the ceiling.
âSee? It worked!â Future Aradia said, turning herhead to her past self. âYou ready to go back?â
Past Aradia didnât even hesitate. Within a second she wasgone, only a red gear marking where she once was before even that faded away.
Aradia smiled as she remembered her past selfâs thoughts.How eager she suddenly was, as she realized one of her major fantasies wasabout to come true. Sheâd discovered an odd human porn subgenre, where peopledrew pictures and wrote stories about just this sort of thing. People withoutheads, people who were just heads, and people who had both a head and a body,but separated from each other. It had quickly become her ultimate fetish, andshe so wished she could experience it for herself. She had been resigned to alife with a tragically intact neck, not knowing of a way to perform theprocedure without triggering a god-tier resurrection - until moments ago. Sheknew her past self hadnât gone straight back to the beginning to complete theloop - sheâd gone further back, immediately ripping off her leggings andfuriously touching herself, climaxing in record time.
Now here she was, at the end of the loop, holding her ownsevered head in her hands, her breasts sagging down onto her horns, and Aradiahad never felt more alive.
âIâm going to unbind you both now,â Aradia said.âIf youâre going to run off, donât forget to pick up your heads before youbolt, alright?â
Vriska harrumphed, and Kanaya tried to nod, instead onlymanaging to topple her head over.
Aradia circled around, putting her head down on her slab asshe unstrapped the others with her body. It was an odd feeling, having her bodymove without her head moving with it. But she managed to not topple, andreleased the bodies of the other two trolls.
Vriska immediately stood up, tried to take a step, and fellover.
âOwwwww!â she yelled from the other side of herblock. Aradia reached down to pick her up and led her over to her head, whereshe got a lot more coordinated upon seeing her body.
Kanaya took her time after hearing Vriskaâs fall, carefullyfeeling her way around to her severed head, grabbing it by the horns and bringingit up to where it should sit atop her neck. It was dizzying, and she had totake a moment to recover. When she did, she saw that Vriska had done the same.
It was an odd sight - two girls holding their heads in place- and after a momentâs hesitation Vriska broke down in laughter.
âYou look ridiculous,â Vriska said.
Upon heading this and seeing what Vriska looked like, Kanayaconceded that this was probably true, and decided to copy Aradia instead. Sheheld her head beneath outstretched arms in front of her belly, and Aradiasmiled at her once sheâd done so. She had to admit, it was a more comfortableposition.
Vriskaâs headremained atop her neck, instead staring at the space where Kanayaâs head usedto be. âItâs smooth,â she said, unbidden.
âWhat?â Kanaya asked.
âYour neck. Itâs just a smooth patch of skin.â
âYours is too,â Aradia said. âWhich meansmine probably is as well!â
Vriska lifted her own head up and looked down at her stump.âWhatâŚâ she said, confused.
âIs the cut on our heads smooth too?â Kanayaasked, tilting her head to expose the other side of her stump.
âYup!â Aradia said, giddily. âThis is soamazing!â
â⌠Yeah, I guess it is,â Vriska said, moving herhead in front of her belly like the others had done. âSo, we gonna gothrough these doors or not?â
Kanaya spluttered. âWhat happened to you beingmad?â
Vriska shrugged, the action moving her head up a bit.âWell yeah, but what can you do? You gotta roll with the punches orlifeâll knock you down.â
âThatâs the spirit!â Aradia cheered, and the twoshared a rare grin. âLetâs go!â
Vriska immediately walked into the light door, while Aradiacircled around to go through the time door. Kanaya rubbed her temple andfollowed their lead, heading through the space door.
As Vriska had predicted, each had a reward waiting for them.She got an M624 Kinetic Railgun, and the others heard her whoop even throughthe stone walls. Kanaya got two dresses and one shirt, all designed toaccentuate her new neck stump, and with one of the dresses coming with acarrier for her head around its waist.
Aradia got a note, written in her own handwriting.
âhey! make sure to plant the others rewards. youll knowwhen the time comes. to get into the rooms in the past, fly down through theholes in the ceiling. see you when youre me! 0u0â
Aradia tilted her head up and chuckled. They couldâve justjumped through the roof this entire time? She decided to not tell the others,for obvious reasons.
She exited her room, finding Vriska struggling to hold thehefty assault weapon and her head at the same time. She stumbled andinstinctively saved the rifle from the fall instead of her head - the followinghiss of pain made Aradia laugh.
âOh stuff it Megido,â Vriska said, stuffing therailgun into her bag and picking up her head.
They both waited about 15 seconds with no sign of Kanayabefore Vriska called out. âHey fussyfangs, you alive in there?â
âOne moment,â a muffled reply came back.
âWhatâs she doing in there?â Vriska asked, towhich Aradia just shrugged.
After about two minutes Kanaya emerged.
She was wearing a black dress with red highlights, a frillyknee-length skirt, and a lace ring surrounding her neck stump; her head washeld firmly in place by a carrier in front of her belly.
âThatâs a pretty good idea,â Vriska saidwistfully. âKanaya, can you make me one?â
âMe too!â Aradia piped up.
Kanaya, for the first time since the incident, smiled.âOf course.â
