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.

I don't see Retrospec doing it.

I figured they must have assigned the bunny ears to you with the expectation that you would be doing it on their behalf after they let us all down on the last two candy holidays.

Why else would you be the only one?

Because I'm the only Australian I've met here and it was a lame joke based on a kid's movie?
I could care less if you all were let down on candy distribution.

Please. I wasn't being serious... I know full well that Retrospec doesn't give a shit about what would actually keep its userbase happy.

And the only one? Really? That can't be... I've met at least three other people from my parents' home country since joining the network and it isn't exactly a common one. How long have you had the app?

So what counts as 'a common one'?

About three months.

Most countries in Europe, and a few in Asia, like China or Japan. Certainly not Egypt, though... and probably not Australia, either, by your account.

Or by mine, for that matter. You're the first person I've met from there, and I've been on this app for much longer than three months.

Okay so Egypt is where you're from? And these other people you met aren't even from northern Africa, but specifically Egypt? Yeah I can see that being pretty weird.

At least I didn't completely miss a New New South Wales somewhere.

I was born here, in the States, but my parents are from Egypt, yeah. I thought that was pretty weird myself... though most of those people seem to have forgotten about the network lately.

[ and he isn't speaking to one of them but he doesn't want to get into that with a stranger, SO ]

New New South Wales? Seriously? Did they run out of names by the time they got to Australia or something?
