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.

I'm a reindeer again, hell yeah

I really think they should look into changing their vocabulary, i mean "storm" is kind of a trigger word for a lot of us at this point
maybe invent a weather scale

I propose:

"sunshine - > cloudy - > overcast - > rain -> storm - > lightning storm - > you're all gonna die"

just a thought

PS: we totally have a Clover that we may or may not be looking to get rid of

[destiny_key]

i feel like that almost makes it sound like preschool
like those pictures of happy clouds and sun up on the chalkboard

'yes hello children today its sunny with a chance of death!!!'

[lingeringwill]

no but in my scale if it were sunny there wouldn't be a chance of death

[destiny_key]

cloudy with a chance of death then

idk it just seems kinda
too normal i guess???
which is weird because tbh nothing is normal anymore

[compendiem]

I need Clover. You can't get rid of her.

[lingeringwill]

sometimes we need to make sacrifices

Girl shaped sacrifices

[compendiem]

Putting it that way... If we could sacrifice one person and save the entire universe...

[servileness]

I was going to post that I've been relieved that someone hasn't made a joke about my name in a while, but here you are.

Thank you, Terra, for being uncertain if you want to be rid of me.

[lingeringwill]

I'm nothing if not reliable, clover.

I'm just saying maybe it wouldn't be so bad to hear the terms before making snap judgements

[servileness]

Be reliable in another way.

Change your name to Clover and negotiate the terms for yourself using your own agency.

[dejerate]

So what, this changing our pictures would make today sunshine because that's pretty harmless in comparison to everything else this app does? Is that what you mean?

We can come back to this scale when the actual 'storm' or whatever is supposed to happen I guess.

[lingeringwill]

omg you're getting it

THE SYSTEM WORKS

[dejerate]

The scale thing seems pretty simple to me? But then, using this depends on what everyone else thinks or comes up with.

[livingdeadgirl]

you forgot a few i think
lightning storm -> hurricane -> perfect storm -> something ate the ocean again

[lingeringwill]

wait those are actually good hold on I'm gonna add those

[livingdeadgirl]

i dont think you can edit once there are replies
thanks though :p

[floret]

I'm interested in hearing about your previous experience as a reindeer!

[ a skunk is asking him this ]

[lingeringwill]

i dressed up as rudolph (the most kickass reindeer of all) for the reva winter festival

i looked awesome

[floret]

More, less, or equally as awesome as you look in your picture right now?

[ingodswelove]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE?!?!? That is absolutely NOT ALLOWED!

[lingeringwill]

i mean its a possibility

you can't just not have the worst possible outcome on the scale

It wouldn't be a very good scale in that case

[robitussin]

okay so like

when you say you're a reindeer "again" it raises a lot of questions

[lingeringwill]

like "who is this cool reindeer guy" right

I'm terra nice to meet you

[truedetective]

You know, jokes aside, that's actually quite a salient point. There are certainly a number of different "storms" that we've dealt with. I wonder why?

[lingeringwill]

even the kid genius knows its a good idea

we gotta differentiate stuff
