[Now that the curse is over, Anya has some important questions that actually don't involve sex or money. Well, mostly.]

So, I got that the coral has a hold on us thanks to these cultist tattoos. I didn't realize it could make us all act loony enough to think we were comic book supervillains--or superheroes--but all right, they can use it to mess with our heads.

How did the whole... city-changing part work? Was that a perception thing, did we all just think we were robbing banks? Or did something physically change into real sacks of money for that week? ... Not that I was robbing banks, and if I was, I couldn't be held accountable for my actions.

I know this last curse was pretty harmless because no one ever really dies in comic books... or sometimes in real life... But I'd like to know just how much reality-bending power this thing has.

Physical alterations to the environment appear to be absolute. There seems to be no two ways about that.

What do you mean by absolute? My sacks of money are gone.

The reversion was also absolute. The product of your theft was both made at the time that the city first changed and then unmade.

I am sorry, but you do not need to be too concerned. You do not need to worry about currency here.

I never said there was a theft.

It does concern me. I like having money and using that money to pay for things; there's an exchange that's completely material and comprehensible.

My apologies. I misunderstood.

Do you require objects from the Nostalgia Quarter?

I think you're missing the point.

[p2iioniicii2t]

Yes, you are correct. I do not comprehend what it is that you intend to convey.

Giving things away is unnatural and un-American. Even a barter system would be better.
