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.

huh
i'll have to check that out sometime
but that's a confusing answer
care to elaborate?

[blondferret]

I can try.

Simply put you don't notice any of this weird stuff going on until you get the app.

In.... I think January, a big black dome covered the city. Why? Retrospec said they need to fix things. They are always fixing things.

Anyway, back in February, many people volunteered to help Retrospec fix some things outside the city, the four areas we can visit currently. To do so, we had to battle a bunch of monsters.

Now where they they before? Maybe. I don't know. They could have been, but we might have not been able to see them.

Also, as a side note: Retrospec is a company that deals with... worlds. Think multiverse. Apparently our souls are from different worlds.

[devoid]

i'll admit this is a little deep for me
i never really stopped to think about my soul before now
so hearing it's from a different world is a bit much

but i appreciate the explanation i guess
i'll be on the lookout for any weird darkness domes or monsters or anything like that

[blondferret]

Well, right now the dome is gone. Just monsters. Oh, there are this huge ass rats in the subway. Get near them they will attack you.

Yes, it is fairly deep. The only reason I'm able to wrap my head around some of this is because I majored in science related fields and I like sci fi.

[devoid]

think of it as sci fi got it
the warning's appreciated thanks
so have you actually fought any of the monsters?

[blondferret]

Yes. I've fought a lot of stuff and almost died in the process.

October: (so like crazy shit came out of this scary ass fog) Dementors, dragon, griffin. The other crazy stuff was human... sort of. There was a plant that almost strangled me.

January: the huge ass rats in the subway

February: 6 foot rabbits that attack you, trees that attack you, the big fluffy monster thing with claws and one eye that luckily stopped attack us when we gave ti back it's eye, and this white... human like monster things that are just... really scary. Like the Pale Man from pan's labyrinth.

wow
sounds like you've been through the wringer
how'd you get out of situations like that?
sounds like a lot of those things really could have killed you

[blondferret]

the word "wringer" is an understatement. But yes. Well in the beginning it was a lot of running, using my gun, and a few Molotov cocktails.

But eventually I leaned that I had magic and in January Retrospec sent me my other self's wand. Many of my memories involve spells, so I try those one and they usually work.

[devoid]

you can use magic?
that's really cool
so what kind of spells can you cast?

[blondferret]

Or just various basic charms and curses. A few useful others.

I have a spell that give me a light at the end of my wand. Very useful. I have a spell that can disarm any person. Haven't tried that one out yet. I have one spell that can magically bind a person's legs together. Another can completely cause a person to be magically bound together so they can't move. I can create fire. I can cause a person or any inanimate object to dance. I have a tickle charm. I don't think I have a specific magic type.

My other self, Draco, goes to a wizarding school somewhere in England and he takes a wide variety of classes.

Some of the magic works on monsters and some don't. Depends on the monster.

[devoid]

that's incredible
i was expecting "i can create fire" and that's about it
so this is a really impressive list of what you can do
does everyone get awesome magic spells?
or are you just special?

[blondferret]

Thank you. Many people start to freak out about some of the spells that I do. Which, might answer another question you have: No, not everyone get awesome magic spells. As far as I know, I'm the only magic user that has a magic wand like mine with spells like the ones that I can do. And I wouldn't say special. I would say that my "other self" is the only one that comes from this particular universe/other world.
