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.

you can't

[the person responding to her just has this as their profile pic now]

not to be casual about it cause it's like a major life changing thing but just thought i'd get it out there first

good taste in animals btw

[devoid]

how is it a major life changing thing?
it just looks like some kind of social media thing

and you too, love the costume

[thebeastwithout]

i think my new goal in life is to get one of those
anyway yeah it's a social media thing, but like, it's an evil social media thing

first you start seeing weird things happening round the city
then you remember impossible stuff
then they melt your brains and harvest your organs when you break down

[the last part might not be true]

[devoid]

"april fools" right?
i really do hate this holiday

[thebeastwithout]

i wish

do you really think an april fools' joke has 200 people in on it

[devoid]

it'd be kind of cool if it was
but coordinating something like that would be a nightmare

[thebeastwithout]

yeah
maybe next time we can organize a flash mob or something

sorry bro this is legit

it's super confusing and they never explain it but like
you ever see the matrice
it's kind of like that
but no one asked you if you wanted to take the pill

[devoid]

i was kind of hoping my life would get more interesting
but this definitely isn't what i had in mind
so what kinds of crazy things have you experienced?
just to give me some idea of what to expect

[thebeastwithout]

i have superpowers now
there was a dome that blocked out the sun a few months ago
sometimes evil trains chase you down abandoned subway tracks

you know
normal stuff

[devoid]

i'll be sure to avoid the subway
what kind of superpowers did you get?
that's kind of cool at least

[thebeastwithout]

animal transformation things!!!

[...]

the costume might be a little like, unnecessary
pretty cool though right?

[devoid]

that is legitimately cool
could you actually turn into a dinosaur though?

[thebeastwithout]

uh
i'm working on it

i can only do like
my body parts right now

[beast boy feels intensely gratified that someone actually agreed with him when he bragged about it]

[devoid]

kind of a shame you didn't get complete mastery over it immediately
good luck working on it
you'll have to show me someday

[thebeastwithout]

practice makes perfect or whatever

i've been kinda busy with other stuff

anyway yeah my goal in life is to show off to everyone now 'cause if we've gotta deal with the sucky things that happen in town i might as well at least get something out of it

[devoid]

if you've got a cool power like that you should definitely show it off
that's half the fun in having powers right

[brooke no]

[thebeastwithout]

like
70% maybe

so like you know what i said about remembering weird stuff
you're gonna remember stuff from somebody else's life
but like, it's kinda your life, kinda sorta

anyway!!!! my other life is a superhero so that's great

[devoid]

well that's not confusing at all
so you've been getting memories of a superhero?
that sounds kind of fun at least

[thebeastwithout]

yup

he was cool

he got to hang out and not go to school and fight bad guys all day

sounds like my kind of life

[devoid]

school's not that bad
i kind of miss it sometimes
but fighting bad guys does sound way more awesome than going to school

[thebeastwithout]

alright everyone who's not in school anymore doesn't get to say that it's not that bad and i should appreciate it now cause you already escaped, man

maybe in ten years when life is worse i'll look back and say it's not that bad but

anyway!!

you might get something cool too

[devoid]

fair enough it usually is adults saying that to kids

and thanks here's hoping i do
but my luck's kind of spectacularly bad

[thebeastwithout]

you gotta make your own luck!!!
...that's what my dad says every time i complain that i failed a test cause i got unlucky and the teacher asked something i didn't study

you're actually taking this pretty well, huh

[devoid]

luck's what you make of it i suppose

and yeah i don't see much of a point in getting all bent out of shape
just go with the flow and all that

[thebeastwithout]

uhhh ok!
that's probably a good attitude or something

i got this a few months ago and i pretty much just spent all night laughing at people going 'haha nice joke' and then everything started going weird
