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! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated 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.

MOSTLY MISS? What do you mean MOSTLY MISS! That still means we're going to be hit!

Also, what the hell is up with my profile pic? I mean, I guess as April Fools prank... it cold be worse?

[Derek's profile pic is of him dressed as a Siamese cat. Go figure he loves his cat a lot.]

[drydrown]

[cats of the world unite, i guess.]

I don't know, that sounds more or less like the gist of it. We're going to be hit by something that's probably not catastrophic, it could be worse.

[blondferret]

Well, look at you being all optimistic. Good job Alex!

[drydrown]

It's better than all the going on they were doing about a category four sweeping through the area a while back.

[rhapsodist]

Mostly miss is better than being fully hit, I'd say.

As far as April Fool's pranks, yes, yes it could be much worse.

[He's got his birthday today. Guess whose had to field a lot of pranks from friends/family.]

[blondferret]

You haven't had this app for long have you? Do you particularly enjoy your reality being ripped apart and things not making sense?

[rhapsodist]

Admittedly, no. But at this point in the evening, I'm just going to have to ride this. Please excuse the fact that I am, in fact, to new to all this.

[livingimpaired]

No need to panic.
Even if we are hit, the do-gooders of this app will handle it.

[blondferret]

Your faith and trust in people is astounding Kei.

[livingimpaired]

I wouldn't call it either of those things.
I would call it more just knowing people.

[hairstroke]

Finally. Someone else with some sense.
Honestly, the way they brush it off as "mostly" makes me worry even more.

[blondferret]

IKR? They've used this tactic before too. It never ends well.

[hairstroke]

Exactly! It's like a giant red flag staring us all in the face.
Plus it doesn't even matter if it's not mostly, because it's still going to hit us and we should rightfully be annoyed about it.

[keystaff]

Well um. 'Mostly miss' still seems better than a bullseye? In this case?

....Not that I'm sure what they mean by the storm this time. That's basically what they say when things are weird though. But I do like your picture! It's cute.

[blondferret]

So you're not going to throw a fit over Retrospec ruining your birthday month with a temporal storm that could possibly mess with your reality, life, friends, family, etc.

And thank you.

[keystaff]

I'm not sure throwing a fit would stop it though. Until we learn more, or until they trust us, I'm not sure we have much if any control on Retrospec and what it does.

[geckoman]

[I mean...you could be a gecko like him, Derek.]

Best to just be ready for whatever the hell is coming.

[blondferret]

I have a 72 hour kit packed and ready. It was really useful in February when I was out in the woods.

[geckoman]

That's probably for the best honestly. Especially with the crap that gets pulled around here.

[sakeplz]

OMG YOURE A KITTY! NYAN NYAN~

[#priorities Also Jirou is a crane in his. Not that he seems bothered by this.]

[blondferret]

Yes, yes. My picture is not me as a cat. My cat actually. I'm quite fond of Siamese cats, which is why I have one.

See:

[sakeplz]

omg thats ur kitty? so pretty! look at those eyes!

[toobigtohandle]

... It looks cute.

[blondferret]

OK, I can understand being called "cute" by your fiance, but you? REALLY?

[Derek will tolerate Jirou calling him cute because... well, it's Jirou. But Kenta? Come on mate! How many people have to call him cute?]

[toobigtohandle]

.... I'm not allowed to find things cute?

[Kenta is a Japanese crane, just like Jirou. Why do both of them make it look good, too.]
