The Collected Stories of Charlie's Magic Shoppe
The Supplier

Charlie’s? Oh, I love that place. I’ve actually been going there since the very beginning. Ask anyone who knows anything and they’ll tell you that’s one of the best stores like it anywhere. Anything you want there, a new head, a new body, it’s there.
I know, I sound like a commercial, don’t I. But well, that’s justified – I do a little bit of trading with them from time to time. Well, actually, all the time. I’m one of their primary suppliers of body parts, actually.
It’s not a common business. And no, I’m not some axe murderess or something crazy like that. I grow and sell bodies for them.
It’s actually pretty easy to do, once you learn how. If all you’ve got is a head, you’ll gradually start to grow your body back. Likewise, someone without a head will gradually grow back their head. Just takes a little while, that’s all. A body might take around a week, a head maybe a couple of days.
I like to mix it up as much as I can though. Sometimes I’ll come in and sell some legs, sometimes my whole body, sometimes my head. Then I go home, start taking the magic supplements so I grow back faster, and when I’m complete again, I go back.
I also go for variety as far as looks and body types go. I don’t just grow the same body over and over again – that’d be pretty boring, and besides, then everyone who bought my pieces would look just like me. Instead, I’m always looking to trade. If I see a girl with a pretty face, I’ll usually offer to buy it off of her. Then once I’ve grown that particular body a couple times, I’ll go find another, and so on.
And it’s not like I just have to sit around all the time. I’ve got lots of extra parts, so when I need to do regular things, like being a whole person, it’s not an issue so much. Plus I’ve got enough store credit there to buy at least a few bodies should I ever need them.
A bit about how I do it: The pieces they typically sell are legs, arms, hips, torso, and head. I usually start slicing myself up from the bottom when I’m alone – first I box up my legs, then my hips. After that I’ll cut off my head and set it aside. Then I cut off my arms at the shoulders and box up my torso.
Of course, it’s not always like that. There are special orders, not always from Charlie’s – some people just want a nice pair of boobs, other want heads or faces specially assembled. It gets boring if all I ever do is grow back from a head.
What’s real fun is the mixing and matching. If you know what you’re doing, you can create all sorts of bodies and stuff. What grows back is however you last had yourself together before you chopped everything up, so it’s easy to say, take one pair of eyes and put them on a face with another pair of lips, and take a third girls hair, then crank out five or six of those heads.
It can get better, too. I get tired of growing just “regular” bodies, so lots of times I’ll conjoin one or two of them. It’s tricky, but sometimes I can get two of me growing in different places at the same time.
Come to think of it, you’ve got a pretty head on your shoulders don’t you? I’m sure Charlie’s wouldn’t mind if I grew them a few copies of your pretty face. So how much for your head? I could just give you cash now, it’d grow back in a few days. Or if you’d like to come and see what I’ve got lying around the house, maybe we could work out a trade…
