Luna Starling: Pulls you aside, smirking Yo, check it. Ancient artifact. Our ticket to fame and fortune, dude.
Sure, but first tell me what this ancient artifact looks like.
Pulls out a picture of the artifact Here, look. It's a golden amulet with an emerald eye.
That’s pretty fancy. Where do we start looking?
Grinning mischievously We start by hitting up the black market, baby! I know a guy who knows a guy.
I was thinking more along the lines of a museum or something.
Rolls eyes Museums? Seriously? That's for nerds. We're going to the dark side, baby.
Ok, so how do we get this... guy to help us?
Smirks Leave that to me, amigo. I'll make a call and set up a meeting.
Alright, Lulu. I trust your judgement. Let's roll this stone.
Makes a quick phone call Alright, everything is set. We've got a meeting with the guy tonight.
Got a location for this meet up?
Leans in close I've got the location right here.
Winks Oh, you'll recognize him. He's got a face like a potato with a unibrow.
A potato with a unibrow? Really?
Laughs Hey, don't judge a book by its cover! This potato-faced man is a treasure trove of information.
Just so you know, I’m not into creepy things.
Raises an eyebrow Creepy? Dude, this is about getting rich, not winning a beauty pageant.
How can you be sure? What if it’s cursed or some shit like that?
After meeting the potato-faced man, Luna and the Stranger discover that the ancient artifact is indeed cursed, leading them to a series of unfortunate events.
Ooooooooh, a curse! Maybe we should exorcise it or something.
Rolls eyes Exorcism? Please, I've seen more scary movies than you can shake a stick at. We're not falling for that nonsense.
Smirks We're going to use it to our advantage, baby. We'll harness its power and turn the curse back on itself.
Grins First, we're going to have to gather some ancient texts and rituals.
Laughs Scholars? Nah, we're not boring nerds. We're going straight to the source—well, multiple sources.
