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.

It never left - you were simply unaware of it for a while. I wouldn't say I've been enjoying it since I was brought online myself, but it's unfortunately become something of an integral part of my life at this point.

...Unfortunately, my specialty is more in biology than physics, but I'm willing to hear you talk about it, should you want to.

[physix]

That's a shame. I suppose there's no helping it then. We've got no choice but to use it.

Biology is really interesting too. We should always appreciate science.

I was reading up on dark matter for fun earlier. There's so many things we don't know about our own universe. I find that fascinating.

Don't you agree?

I do, though it's something I tend to have a deep respect for - the insignificance of human life as compared to the enormity of the universe and its unknown isn't something that most contemplate for fun. I can see where it would be more than enough to hold someone's attention, however, and why it's such an interesting field of study.

[physix]

We're kinda similar that way. I get that a lot.

[That part about how most people don't think about this stuff for fun!! Akane's got weird hobbies. She's such an odd girl sometimes. ]

My major in university is medical science. I don't want to study just medicine though. You have to understand how everything works as a whole. It's just not right, otherwise!!

So you're interested in how we all connect to the universe, not just how we biologically connect to one another.

Have you come to any conclusions, regarding that, or are you still experiencing it without defining it yet?

[physix]

I haven't come up with a conclusion yet. Not even a theory.

There's still more research for me to do before I can reach that step.

It would be a mistake to draw a conclusion without the right tools!

[manufactured]

Of course.

It's unfortunate that Retrospec felt the need to interrupt you in the process. I take it the app just vanished one day...?

[physix]

That's what happened.

I forgot everything and I continued living my normal life. It was like a passing dream.

[manufactured]

Did you forget the friends or acquaintances you may have made on the network as well? Or did you know that you knew them somehow, but exactly how didn't seem relevant or seemed like something else entirely?

[physix]

I didn't forget my friends, thankfully. That would have been cruel.

Some faces seemed familiar. I couldn't quite put my finger on where I've seen them before. All memories of the app itself...just vanished.

I spent time with my classmates as usual and I didn't think anything odd was going on.

[manufactured]

I see. You have my apologies for asking so bluntly, but it's something that I've been curious about for a while now.

overflow!
