002 - [Video]

[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.

Have you? You do know where I live.

[ video ]

[beauchevalier]

That I do. However, my job and other personal matters have prevented me from visiting.

[ video ]

[dontyoujustwish]

Personal matters like what?

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh, I've done that before.

Soldiers and superheroes aren't much alike, except in some war movies.

[dwightandclean]

...so you have powers from your world?

[He doesn't sound very surprised. It's something he's grown used to in Vatheon.]

Ah...minus the capes and powers, there's actually a lot of similarities.

[dontyoujustwish]

I used to grant wishes.

[No more, sadly. She sounds regretful.]

There is also the part where soldiers come in armies, not duos.

[dwightandclean]

[His face twist a little in confusion.]

Like a genie?

Ah, some soldiers. I was a Ranger...not a big group there. We were kinda like...uhm what are those guys...The Avengers?

[dontyoujustwish]

No. I had quite a bit more purpose than a genie.

I don't know. Was one of them Spider-Man?

[dwightandclean]

I don't know anything else that grants wishes. My...uhm, I never really had a chance for faerie tales.

[Hang on while he tries to remember.]

Uhm,...maybe. there was a huge green guy in purple shorts. I know that.

[dontyoujustwish]

Vengeance demons don't typically appear in faerie tales.

The smashy one. I know who you mean. But I thought he was too angry at everyone to handle teamwork.

[dwightandclean]

...I believe that; never heard of a ...vengeance demon before.

[Dwight you should be more freaked over that then you are! Calm acceptance. He has it.]

Yeah that guy. I dunno, maybe he drank camomile and managed to understand the term 'hug it out'.

[beauchevalier]

Having to take care of my older brother. He's such a pain.

[ video ]

[dontyoujustwish]

Don't older siblings usually take care of the younger ones?

[dontyoujustwish]

It isn't really part of the job description to go around announcing ourselves.

...hug what out? I thought we were talking about not crushing people.

[dwightandclean]

That makes sense....but then, how do you get wishes? I mean if I didn't know you were a Vengeance demon, how do I get you to grant my wish?

[Dwight chuckled a little]

Well the hug out part leads to not crushing people. Instead of smashing, he I dunno, hugs?

[ video ]

[beauchevalier]

He's been rather ill you see. I've taken it upon myself to make sure he doesn't do anything rash or ridiculous.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Not that I know of. I don't think they would of suited the environment.

[Yeah, she doesn't understand you Anya.]

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, what kind of role play was it then?

[dontyoujustwish]

People make all kinds of wishes they don't expect anyone to grant. But you wouldn't have gotten any. I didn't grant wishes for men.

That sounds like a slower, more painful death. Like a boa constrictor.

[ video ]

[dontyoujustwish]

That does sound like a pain. I'm lucky I was never burdened with siblings.

[ video ]

[beauchevalier]

Be grateful for that then, darling. Having siblings is nothing short of a nightmare.

[ video ]

[dontyoujustwish]

Has he recovered enough yet to take care of himself?

[dwightandclean]

Ok, you confused me. It sounds like...you just wait around for, well I guess a girl, to make a wish?

....that makes what I said sound so much worse then I wanted it to be.

[ video ]

[beauchevalier]

Unfortunately no. He needs me for a bit longer than I planned.

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

The video game kind. What else could it have been?
