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!

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.

[ senya's got cat ears in his profile photo... how quaint ]

oh wow
i actually expected something much worse from you guys this april fools
not sure if i should be relieved about this

[thesettingsun]

In theory, we shouldn't have to worry about harmful pranks from Retrospec or anyone.

In practice, go ahead and be relieved.

[adoringpast]

okay whew
it really could've been worse
but she said that someone literally changed the entire layout of their building so
lmao

[thesettingsun]

I was really enjoying not hearing anything about Jim for a while now.

[chuusai]

[ Mao has soft floppy black canine ears and a black puppy nose. He's just gonna let it be. ]

Looks like they were too busy messing with each other internally to bother with us
I don't know if that's worth being relieved about though

[adoringpast]

[ kr enstars is real... ]

yeah well that's not our problem anymore, is it
props to the guy who fucked up their building though lmao

but yeah this is a sign that even worse things are about to come, judging from that storm warning
so best be on your guard, okay?

[chuusai]

[ barkstar ]

Not for now but it's probably practice
They did just move all of Recolle around over the winter though
It probably gets boring to do it too often

I'll be careful
I don't ever try to get into this stuff, you know?

[strayknight]

I was expecting them to throw us in the sky...or something extreme like that.

[His icon has him with bat ears.]

[adoringpast]

[ bat ears... ]

why throwing us up into the sky of all things though
it's bad but not reality-altering bad

[strayknight]

[They're cute, Secchan.]

A way to torture us? This is all pretty tame for the moment.

[livingimpaired]

Why not be relieved about it?

[adoringpast]

because i have a feeling that it's going to get even more terrible, kei-san
but maybe that's just me being pessimistic
their idea of an april fools on this app could've been worse though

[livingimpaired]

If there's no proof and only a feeling, I believe it is all right to allow yourself to be relieved.
You've handled much worse in the past, have you not?
So I know that you will come out fine.
I realize that sounds optimistic.
But it is more that if things get difficult, I'll get involved to help you.
So that is why i know it will end up well.
I can be quite troublesome when I actually decide to do something wholeheartedly, haha.

[ charlotte has bunny ears...]

Yeah, this really isn't bad at all, it's cute!

[adoringpast]

it's too cute for my taste but sure
i mean did you see what other sites did for april fools this year
at least this one isn't as annoying

[convincing]

Really? I haven't noticed other sites yet! But personally I find April Fool's day to be annoying in general.

[fabrefactions]

A temporal storm mostly missing the city is not a reason for concern...?

[adoringpast]

i meant appwise, kitagawa
the icon changes are a little too tame for this holiday, don't you think?

the temporal storms are pretty much a norm at this point anyway
though yes, that is still something to be concerned about

[fabrefactions]

Considering most people associate the holiday with small animals and chocolate now, what were you assuming they’d do...?

If we assume it will be something and nothing, that will be when it blindsides us. Precaution is never a bad idea.

[littlestbaskerville]

They are cute, what could they do that's worse?

[adoringpast]

nothing your kiddie little head would wrap your head around

[littlestbaskerville]

Why not? I'm not a baby!

[liberal_arts]

Why am I not surprised it's a cat?

-Meanwhile, Kasen over here looking like a crested ibis...-

[adoringpast]

what's that supposed to mean
and what are you supposed to be, kasen-san

[ what are birds ]

[liberal_arts]

It means it suits you. As for what I am, I'm a 'toki'. Japanese crested ibis. It's an exceptionally beautiful bird.
