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.

At the moment, no. However, that might change if they give me back the powers that one of my other selves had when he was a god... at least then I would have a fighting chance.

And not the spy type, hm? Fair enough. It takes a... certain personality to fill that role.

[thebeastwithout]

what power
is it the power to break up evil organizations named retrospec
kind of a specific power but
would be super useful right now

[hauhra]

To be honest, I don't actually know.. I've never seen what the god can do in a memory. However... if they're the powers of a god, and one that was so powerful that he had to be sealed away... then they're probably pretty powerful.

Or at least, that's how all the legends go, isn't it?

[thebeastwithout]

what if you were the god of toilet paper sticking to your shoe when you get out of the bathroom and they sealed you away because it was getting kind of annoying

[hauhra]

Hmph. Is that supposed to be an insult?

Because if so, you're going to be pretty disappointed when I tell you that that couldn't possibly be the case... at least, not if what Zorc looked like is anything to go by.

[thebeastwithout]

nah dude i'm just dunking on ya

what are you the god of then

1/2

[hauhra]

Hmph. And here I was going to suggest that you were speaking for yourself.

As for what I was the god of, however...

[hauhra]

Darkness. Evil. That sort of thing.

[thebeastwithout]

wow ok mr. dark and edgy

if you don't wanna tell me, whatevs

in my past life i was the god of sleeping in until noon

[hauhra]

And exactly why is that so hard to believe?

It's certainly not any more implausible than my being a god.

[thebeastwithout]

you can't be a god of evil

that's not a real thing

you gotta be a god of like, something that's actually, you know, like, physical

[hauhra]

But I can, and I am... sorry, but I don't make the rules.

If I did, though... then I'd also like to be a god of the underworld. That's always seemed like a pretty cool role.

[thebeastwithout]

why don't you wanna be god of anything happy
how about ice cream

[hauhra]

Because it doesn't suit me... the god of something happy should go to the kind of person that people are expecting, don't you think?

However, if you truly think that no one would bat an eyelash if the god of ice cream turned out to be a goth teenager, then that is an acceptable exception. Well?

[thebeastwithout]

((on hiatus, will tag when I can!))

i dunno
there's something to be said for the unexpected
maybe it's like, ironic humor or something
irony is in right now

also are you goth

[hauhra]

In that case, then perhaps you should be the god of darkness instead.

And yeah, I am... what other teenager did you think I was talking about?

[thebeastwithout]

hey
i'm way dark dude
i've got like
hidden depths of angst and stuff

i'm a teenager it's a requirement

[hauhra]

Is that so?

Prove it to me, then. Share your hidden depths of angst with the class.

[ is he actually highlandering the right to be the god of darkness?

probably.

i'm sorry he's like this. ]

[thebeastwithout]

once when i was seven i told my mom that i was running away and when she asked me what i was gonna do i think i said 'probably die' and she rolled her eyes and handed me a sandwich so i wouldn't get too hungry

[hauhra]

And just how long did you last out there?

[thebeastwithout]

like half a day

but an angsty half a day

[hauhra]

Are you sure it was internal angst and not external angst?

How good are you with the outdoors? I know you said you had the power to shapeshift into any animal you want in your past life, but this would be long before you knew that, right?

[thebeastwithout]

what
i don't even know what that means
why are there different angsts

and uh...
my like, ideal day is spent in a dark room lying in bed playing games so i wouldn't say i'm super great with roughing it

but i did just spend a month camping so

[hauhra]

Because one has to do with external struggles like "roughing it" while the other has to do with internal struggles like the nature of your existence.

It sounds like it was half a day of the former in your case. I don't know how you survived a month of camping... I know I couldn't.

At least we can agree on one thing, however: a day in a dark room lying in bed playing video games is certainly a #goal.

[thebeastwithout]

ok but i definitely ran away cause of internal angst
my mom wouldn't let me lie in bed all day playing video games
which is totally bogus
