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!

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.

Per the mod plotting post, you may use this post to obtain one of this month's freebies! This month's freebie can be earned by turning in a thread on this post that has 5 or more consecutive comments from you with someone new. We define someone new as someone new to the game, or simply someone your character has never tagged before.

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given.

'This'? Gotta be way more specific, mate.

Sorry, mate, but I was referring to this app. I would appreciate not having my phone tampered with, assuming this isn't actually a joke.

[ For his part Dylan assumes the guy is just echoing him. That or he's British. ]

Yeah me either. I was specifically trying NOT to have my face as my userpic and then this horseshit happens.

[He doesn't really use slang unless around other Aussies, so it comes and goes. Also, it's been years. "Mate" never really goes away though]

Did you willingly get this? I was under the impression it was out of everyone's control.

This *what*? The userpic change? The app? What?

I told you, the app.

For all I knew you changed topics.
No I didn't willingly get this app.
You?

I would have said as much. No, I didn't. Being unable to change the userpic doesn't surprise me given I have no control over even downloading the application itself. I'm more annoyed at that than the fox costume.

Don't blame you.
I've just been stuck dealing with the app itself for 3 months now, so I'm entitled to get pissy over other stupid shit instead.
At least it could've been something useful instead of lame, but no.

Of course not, that would make sense in this entire mess.
