My new neighbours are having an argument in their driveway about one of them losing the other's book of spells.
I don't know what level and flavour of wizardry we're talking about here, or if they're team Gandalf or Saruman, but I endorse their presence in my street. 10/10.
The nearest curious young child in my street is obsessed with bugs, so it'd start with a kid squishing bugs (for preservation purposes) within the spell book's pages and then creating a giant spider beast that rampages through South Island, maybe questing for the perfect pie. (I would watch this.)
The child would then have to find the right spell to stop the rampage, which would involve gathering some friends together, probably some montages, and some really inadvisable wizardry.
since yesterday there has been an ongoing dispute among some neighborhood crows about something atop a utility pole. things cooled down for a while, but now they're back at it. i can't see what's atop the utility pole. maybe it's a book of spells. 🤷
Damn, all my neighbours over the road do is argue loudly about rent and the power bill. Slightly nicer than the previous neighbours over the road and the ones before that. That house is cursed and it's wearing off slowly perhaps.
Have you tried slowly wheelbarrowing a giant sage bush onto their lawn and setting it on fire? Maybe spraying a fire truck's worth of salty water at their house? This sounds like an industrial level exorcism is required. Power bill fights are definitely a sign of a high level demon.
Over the last two years there's been domestic violence, custody battles, AOS three times. Power bill arguments imply the curse may be wearing off. I will however look into procuring some sage. Do you think dried packet would work or do I need the real deal?
That's the guys on the other side of us, although they're super chill and put up with all my swearing, plot rants and postgraduate level blasphemy so I can't complain.😊
Sometimes you get good ones. The good ones are easy to tell - either they have good boundaries, or a great sense of humor. If you're really lucky, they might have both! (Those are pretty rare though...)
“Ah, they're blistering up my spell, they're blistering it up
They're breaking it up
they're breaking up my spell
And what else is there
what else have I got?
What else have I got but that spell?”
~ John Cale, Leaving It Up To You.
This sounds like a sidequest.
No but really, they must be wicca.
Wicca often have books of spells, which are their own way of expressing their belief. Nothing nefarious.
