You know, I think some April Fool's pranks are okay! Like the silly ones they do on websites or the really good natured kind. But I am LESS okay with someone changing the ENTIRE layout of our entire building and giving us treasure maps to go around it which for the record my brother-in-law did and it's a pain!!

There's some weird effects coming in from outside this planet at the moment, although they'll mostly miss the city itself. There'll be a localized temporal storm, but it shouldn't be more than a mild irritation. It looks like it's just going to yank some things around and send them on through. I think Maurice is going to call out sick that day, or if I were him I definitely would.

Hey, I kind of want a four-leaf clover. I know that's more last month than this month, but still. If you find one, pass it along.

Also, I want to do a cutesy April Fools thing, so don't get too mad!

For the remainder of the day all users will have their userpic replaced with a picture of them dressed as their favorite animal. It's pretty harmless as far as pranks go, and it will change back either at midnight or after trying to change the picture twice, prompting an "Are you sure?" message but no further ill effects.

[Luna's icon is her dressed as a black and white cat.]

I'm a cat!
That's kinda obvious huh?

Well I guessss it's cute!
I guess a picture is better than waking up in a costume or something.

I wonder what 'outside the planet' means though, huh?
Maybe there are aliens!

This kind of april fools "prank" is my kind of style. I hate those websites that trick you into buying stuff or just confuse the hell out of you.

Pretty sure those trick you websites are around all the time, not just today!

I hate the pranks that are just 'here's the thing you all wish would happen! It has!
April fools!'

Always seems mean.

Yeah true, but they really come out of the woodwork on days like these

but those ones that get you all hyped up for something awesome and then let you down... those really are the worst

Because they aren't funny!
They're just mean.

Pranks should be funny and everyone should be laughing afterwards.

Lemme guess, you like to pull those kind of pranks?

no need to worry about an alien invasion
you cant escape us
we are already here

also i like your costume

You're an alien now huh?

Thanks!
I kinda wish I really had it.

im only partly an alien
but the rest will be along shortly im sure
i thought i told you about that

You could've been joking or something.
I guess I still think some things are kinda crazy.

Which bits haven't shown up yet?

[cont'd here]

[And Freya's is a bear]

y'know, someone pointed out that a lot of us don't remember earth-like worlds. alien's aren't so far fetched.

Roar!!

Maybe we're all the aliens here!

Never really thought about it but
Place I remember, it was totally surrounded by a massive black sea of chaos.
So if it was earth it was preeeeeetty screwed.

christ kid you type exactly like you talk. i can hear you dragging that poor word all over the place

if i've got to be honest? sometimes, yeah. i think we're the aliens. or some of us at least.

the hell is a 'black sea of chaos' supposed to look like

That word probably had it coming!

It was like
Kind of a fog?
Except black and oily and
Everyone was afraid of it except me.

How would you define 'alien'? Someone who comes from a different planet and is not human? Or would a human from a different planet be an alien?

I mean, Retrospec is saying our souls came from other worlds, so in a way we could all be aliens.

Well I was thinkin' little green men in flying saucers but
Everyone's being all sensible about it!

[... Li-Na actually has a friend who is now green, but as it's not her place to say that...]

You were hoping people would not be sensible?

Well yeah.

People are way more fun when they're being ridiculous.

[ Kiyoshi is a giraffe for the day. ]

waking up in animal costumes would be pretty fun too though

Yeah!
A whole city of people dressed up as their favorite animal

I mean sure some people would hate it.
But I bet most would have fun!

Ooh, kitty cat~

ALIENS?!

Do you think they're friendly? I hope they speak Indian, French, or English! I wonder if they can perform!

[Priourities. Also, Ashura's a butterfly.]

Maybe they can speak all languages like on tv.

I mean
Aliens who aren't friendly would probably suck so.
