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.

no one's been able to change their names since the damn thing launched. not that you've even got it that bad.

welcome to retrospec, your profile is no longer sacred

[tailchasing]

what are you talking about

like what kind of name is skylar

i know it's supposed to be some variant on 'scholar' but i'm not and also it makes me sound like some kind of bird. i don't even like birds.

is this like that app that came out a couple years ago you could 'draw' over websites and share them with other people that had the app too??

[Kid, her first name is Olive you better damn be grateful]

you could've been a stuart. or a barry. sides, what'd birds do to you?

...you know, that might be more accurate that you realize. you're gonna start seeing some weird shit that most people in this city can't see. but really, the profile thing? just joanne screwing around. she's a techie. she likes holidays. no one's around to tell her no.

[Denied. He's so used to being called Zeke anymore that his real first name doesn't even sound like his name.]

if i was a barry i would follow the last famous barry i knew and go into music. instead i'm a garland so i'm going into film.

they're loud and they poop everywhere. pretty, though.

oh so there IS a bored intern out there messing around with the coding. this is why we should pay internships.

[belligerentwarrior]

is that how we're supposed to pick our careers?

oh no, you missed the intern. he got promoted. now he manages the mailroom. still don't pay the poor bastard enough, i bet. he gets the short stick, dealin' with the lot of us

[tailchasing]

no but i figure the good juju could be worth it. who wouldn't want to be famous like her??

so she's actually getting paid to do this? where do i get that job?

[belligerentwarrior]

plenty, i'm sure

no clue. but they've got a guy you can pester.

[tailchasing]

well i definitely do. biggest dream is to be up on that silver screen, name in lights

..... oh hey, that's handy. i will check it out. thanks!

[belligerentwarrior]

the right name hopefully

make him earn his wages

[tailchasing]

i mean i guess if skylar garland is what gets me famous it's what gets me famous but i doubt it

i wonder how much he makes for this... there doesn't seem to be anything to generate ad revenue so where's the company get money, too??

[belligerentwarrior]

i don't think a "company" that can screw with souls and the very fabric of our reality really needs to worry about income
