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.

[Tatsuo's usual userpic has had the puppy filter applied]

Not naming names either, but I know some individuals who could use this advice as well.

[not going to admit he's feeling a LITTLE called out rn]

[Feel proud, Tatsuo, Togusa doesn't have a clue.]

Maybe I got a little inspiration from a different friend of mine about this. One who did find some happiness. But I could kick myself from a year ago for waiting.

[it's okay, he literally told his best friend only last month]

We knew so little a year ago. Hell, I wasn't even on the app a year ago. None of us knew then.

[standalonehuman]

Yeah. It's just a missed opportunity. One I know I have to live with. But it still feels too fresh.

[thisloveisjustice]

Unfortunately hindsight is 20/20 and, unless someone on the app has precognition, we're navigating without a map. All we can do is learn from each other.

[standalonehuman]

Thus, why I shared this, now that I felt even a little more ready. Or maybe that the time was right. I dont' know. If people I don't even know will learn from this, all the better.

[thisloveisjustice]

If it pushes even one person to not procrastinate, then I'd say you've helped.

I don't think you ever met Misaki, my previous ex? I found a picture of the two of us, and it's this thing in the past now, you know? I can think of it as over and done with. I would like to be there yet with- [Deleeeete, almost put her name there...]

I want to get to that point. For her sake more than mine.
