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.

lmao

I love the way you prioritized this post

[spiritoso]

I might as well focus on the positive things, right? (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ There probably isn't anything we can do about the storm just yet.

[lingeringwill]

have we ever been able to do anything about them?

Sometimes laughing things off is the best way to deal with the creeping darkness of the unknown

The can do attitude saves lives

[spiritoso]

I think so too. I've decided not to worry too much about stuff like this if I can help it. I'll probably feel better in the long run that way. At least I hope so.

[lingeringwill]

kaede im gonna be real w/ you

you're kind of a badass

[spiritoso]

What?! You really think so? I'm really not cool at all I promise.

[lingeringwill]

well good thing i didn't say you were cool, i said you were a badass

which you are

total badass

[spiritoso]

Well so are you!

I've never had anyone call me that before. It's really nice!

[lingeringwill]

I'm not really badass I'm just kinda tall

A real badass is someone who in the face of unending negativity and horror still posts silly kaomoji and gets excited about silly pranks

[spiritoso]

You told me that memories don't define us a while ago, and that helped me out a lot! So I think you are!

But I guess you're right about that. I didn't even think of it that way. I just hope that being positive will help others feel better.

[lingeringwill]

it will. 100%

Wait no

💯

there we go

Have you been doing okay with the memory stuff?

[spiritoso]

I'm glad you think so! (≧◡≦)

I have. I haven't gotten any really upsetting memories or anything like that. What about you?

[lingeringwill]

thats so good to hear

my memories are weird, i can't tell if i was a hero or a villain? It's pretty complicated, the world other me is from is like...some sort of fairytale world full of princesses and junk

[spiritoso]

That's really cool! Your world, I mean. What is it like?

I hope you find out what you were at some point.

[lingeringwill]

I've been to a few different places in my memories, one is a castle, one is an even bigger, more fairytale-esque castle and i had to help the princess get to the ball on time so that she could dance with Prince Charming, i kid you not

I also fought in a coliseum

Wait there was a third castle, too, it was kinda creepy, the princess of that castle had a spell placed on her so that she was stuck in eternal sleep

[omitted: I forcibly removed her heart from her body]

its pretty wild...whatever the other me was, its not this me, so it doesnt totally matter, but....

Anyway

What are your memories like, kaede?

[spiritoso]

All of that sounds like so much fun, minus the creepy castle! But you're right, it doesn't matter too much in the long run since you're not the same. Memories like that are probably nice to get though.

My memories have been a little weird. I remember these 5 talking stuffed animals called the Monokubs. They were all over the place and I had no idea what they were talking about.

[lingeringwill]

it's kinda neat! I've gotten some good

"""Perks""" at least

Are they friendly stuffed animals


because that sounds f'ing terrifying

[spiritoso]

What kind of perks are they?

I couldn't tell if they were friendly or not actually. They were all over the place and didn't really seem to know what they were doing. But they were pretty scary.

[lingeringwill]

i got a cool weapon that can open any lock
and a cool suit of armor
also my cool weapon can transform into a cool motorcycle type thing that can fly

you know sometimes people receive animals from their memories from retrospec
prayer circle that we never have to see one of those monstrosities
