Initial negotiations are not off to a great start.

Audri went aboard Thoos’s ship and found them on the bridge. Thoos said, “Oh good, it’s you. I was asked to let you approach me first. I know you’ve been enjoying my body, but now you have to give it back.” Shocked, Audri said, “What do you mean ‘Now I have to give it backi?! How?!” Annoyed and put out, Thoos said, “I don’t care how! Even if we can’t brain-switch back, it’s mine. Maybe we can figure out a way for me to mind-control you or something.” Audri said, “No. No. And no! What the hell?! Thoos, we’re all in the same boat. I want my body back as well.” Thoos counter-argued, “Come on. You must have a price. Everyone has a price.” Upset, Audri said, “What good is money if I’m being mind-controlled by some rich self-centered creep?!” Taking a sip from their drink, Thoos said, “Blatz if I know, but you’d be amazed at what poor people will do for money.” Annoyed, Audri walked away, saying, “I’m going to bed.”

OK, first, you need to find the mad Tithonan scientist who did this to you in the first place, if anyone can undo it it’s them. And second, “will to do for money.” is insanity creating bad grammar! Lose the “to”, please.
“will to do for money” sounds like it started as “are willing to do for money” then being rephrased more concisely as “will do for money” but the “to” was forgotten about.
Thank you! will fix! Yeah, I edit things SOOOOO much that sometimes I can barely see all the words any more.
Oh, good. I was afraid she would react negatively to the perm.
What rich people will do for money is even more amazing.
You know, I had put it out of my mind how diametrically opposed Audri and Thoos really are. The almost-magical bell musician and the scion of rich people who would be disgusting even without their money and power. No reason for either of them to not be appalled and scornful toward the other. Now the challenge becomes keeping either of them concentrated on the task of reversing the bodyswitch. Something tells me this is going to get more convoluted than it needs to be, and right quick.
Apparently, it is also amazing what very rich people will do just because they can also be stupid. Thoos willfully subjected themself to that brain transfer experiment, if I recall correctly.
And now I wonder how secretly grateful Picknar must be that the switch didn’t happen to HER. We may find out soon.
