She bought the mirror from a mysterious thrift store, how could you resist buying a ‘cursed mirror’? In her heart of hearts, Lilly romanticized over the ‘hipster wiccan’ stereotype, and so anything cursed, bound in twine or otherwise grungy in just the right way was an instant-buy.
However, unlike her unrealistic hollywood informed understanding of hex’s and spellbooks, the curse on her mirror; and then her- was very, very real. Inscribed on the back of the glass, (in runes that are pretty easy to decipher, if she actually googled it instead of being caught up in their allure) “Who shall gaze with ignorant eye, shall double the mass in hips and thigh”. It was a novice spell-weavers work, really, practice for a school project - but it was vague enough to trip up on Lilly’s absurd idealization of the occult.
Over the next month, Lilly was going to learn a seriously BIG lesson, through multiple sizes of pants - to take the arcane and cursed a little more seriously.
