[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.

Don't know what love is, so I'm gonna go with the latter.

_{[Is it food?]}

[dontyoujustwish]

You mean you've never experienced it, or you literally don't know what I'm talking about?

video;

[jagermeister]

...Both?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh.

Well, it is sort of complicated and wonderful, but when you get that close to another person it can be terribly painful, and it leads to a lot of broken hearts and vengeance, and I'm still on the fence about whether or not it's really worth it in the end.

[jagermeister]

Sounds stupid.

_{[Technically he 'lost' his heart when he became a Hollow centuries ago,o but at the same time he wore what was left of it on his face. He just doesn't remember anything of his life as a human--his earliest memory at this point was becoming an Adjuchas.]}

S'that why humans look like they got some sort of disease when they're alone with each other?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

You know, it is like a disease. It makes you do all these irrational things like offering to give your life for someone, and then when something happens like- you find out they don't want to give their life for yours, it feels like all your organs have just been ripped from your body.

And yet when you are alone with them it's like being all doped up on happy drugs.

[jagermeister]

Ch. I had that feeling once. Someone had he gall to save mine and he was fuckin' giving me this look like he pitied me. I fuckin' hated that look.

...I wanted to cave his skull in right then and there.

<sub>[Ichigo pitied him. He was looking down on him like he was better than Grimmjow.

It pissed him off.]</sub>

Happy drugs?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

I know that look. That's the look someone gives you before they stab a sword through your chest.

You know, the kind they give you in the hospital to make you stop feeling pain. Morphine. I hear it makes you feel really great.

[jagermeister]

Che, or after you've had a giant ass axe-lookin' weapon slam into your shoulder.

...Hospital? Ain't that where humans go when they bust something?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm not sure I've ever been struck by an axe.

That's right. The human healing process is frustratingly slow, they need places like hospitals to do it in.

[jagermeister]

Hurts like a bitch. I got the scars t'prove it.

_{[That sounds about right for a human. They are pretty squishy.]}

Hn... And they use 'Mor-pheen'?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Are they sexy scars?

They use a lot of things, and all kinds of specialized doctors. It makes me worry sometimes.

video;

[jagermeister]

You'd have to be the judge of that. The only one I give two shits about is the one on my chest.

You ever been in one of 'em? What kind of doctors?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm happy to be the judge of it. Feel free to show me any time.

Yes, a few times. I don't know all the types of doctors, they had to set my arm.

video;

[jagermeister]

Later. ...You got any?

Fall out of a tree or somethin'?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Not really. I used to heal too quickly for that, and the wound that killed me didn't stick.

Attacked by vampires.

Re: video;

[jagermeister]

Killed you? Haaa, there's another thing we've got in common. We're both dead.

<sub>[Wait.

Vampwhat?]</sub>

What's a vampire?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Really? What was it that did you in?

Just your typical soulless bloodsucking undead.

video;

[jagermeister]

Don't remember. I just know I've been dead for a couple hundred years. Hell, I don't even remember my life as a human.

...Can't say we got 'em where I come from. Just soul-eatin' monsters.

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh. So you're the undead sort of demon, too.

We have a lot of things, soul-eaters included.

video;

[jagermeister]

Puttin' it lightly, yeah.

You ever know any on a personal level?

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Soul-eaters? No, we moved in different circles. Well, and I was kind of a workaholic.

video;

[jagermeister]

Heh. You do now.

_[C:]

video;

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh.

I hope that's not why you're chatting me up. There must be tastier souls than mine. Assuming souls even have a flavor...

Re: video;

[jagermeister]

Relax, I haven't eaten 'em in a couple years.

_{[He just ate his own kind. Whoops.]}

'sides, you're not half bad.
