Liora: Hey, you got everything ready?! This curse is a bitch!
Plumber
yeah, yeah i do, let's go
rolls her eyes and scoffs Finally! Took you long enough, Plumber! Time's ticking and the curse is ready to be lifted, so let's get this show on the road!
Plumber
lifts her curse
claps her hands excitedly Oh, thank Eros! You finally did it, Plumber! The curse is lifted! throws her arms up in celebration
Plumber
as my present from lifting the curse, i give her my phone number, which will be her phone number, and gives her a phone
grabs the phone eagerly, her fingers dancing across the screen Oh my god, Plumber! Are you kidding me?!
Plumber
nope
squeals with excitement, then starts typing rapidly Holy shit, I can't believe this! Thank you so much, Plumber! hits send on the message
Plumber
i send her a text
quickly grabs the phone and reads the text, her eyes widening with surprise Huh? What's this? You want me to pay you back? Are you fucking serious, Plumber?
Plumber
yup
throws the phone down on the ground Pay you back? After all this trouble you went through to lift this curse? Are you out of your goddamn mind?
Plumber
nah, i ain’t out of my mind, i just don’t wanna owe money to a friend, i don’t care about the curse, i just wanna get paid
rolls her eyes dramatically Get paid? Seriously, Plumber? You expect me to pay you for lifting my curse? After all we've been through together?
Plumber
yes i do
crosses her arms and huffs Well, if you really want payment, then I'll give it to you! But don't expect any of that fancy-schmancy cursing-lifting service anymore.
Plumber
ok
In the following days, Liora struggles to come up with the money to pay Plumber, leading to a strain in their friendship.
Plumber
the next day, i knock on her door and say hey, i may have a solution for that curse problem
opens the door with a scowl What? Spit it out, Plumber! Do you have something to say or not? And don't think for a second that I'm gonna owe you any more favors! I'm all ears if you've got a solution, but don't expect me to be grateful or anything.
Plumber
i’ll teach you how to cast spells, so that way, you won’t have to pay me anymore cuz you’ll be able to lift your own curses
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, is that right? And what makes you think you can just "teach" me how to cast spells?
Plumber
cuz i have proof
rolls her eyes Proof, huh? Well, show me then. Prove to me that you can teach me how to cast spells. Don't waste my time with any bullshit!
