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.

Oh, word. He and I met on here when he was just being a gay disaster in my direction. Par for the course.

It can be cool, I guess. Nobody really prepared me for actually having a sword. Maybe start thinking about where you're going to keep one, if you get it. I had to store it with some other nerd I met on here because my landlord's not really down with swords. Who knew?

[devoid]

it's been years since i last saw him and yet i'm not surprised at all

i guess i can see why your landlord wouldn't be cool with swords
but swords are cool
i'll look into figuring out where i could potentially store a weapon just in case
thanks for the tip

[hauntedsavior]

No problem. You got any other questions that nobody else has touched on yet? I've only been here for a couple months so I barely know shit fuck, but none of this is really fazing me so far.

[devoid]

honestly that's good to hear
everyone i've talked to so far sounds like this is some big life-altering thing
so it's good to hear you haven't been all that bothered by it

i'm sort of curious about the past lives or whatever people have mentioned
have you gotten any weird memories of something like that?

[hauntedsavior]

Oh don't get me wrong, this will definitely fuck with you if you give it enough time. My ex has a flower growing out of her eye and I know this girl who can summon a giant woman with her brain. Pretty sure I'm only so chill about it because I haven't been hit with a bunch of crap yet.

The last big memory I got was someone jumping down from like 30 feet up and stabbing a robot with a sword that shoots lightning. Pretty sure I used to be that person, but I have less than nothing to go on. A lot of this stuff is like putting puzzle pieces together when they all look the same.

[devoid]

a flower growing out of her eye?
yikes that sounds awful
i guess this whole thing can't be all fun

this sounds like one of those things that's just going to be completely crazy until i see it for myself
which will probably be happening shortly if what you guys have told me is any indication

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, it's not great. But she's been through worse, so I think she can handle it. Probably. I don't think this thing gives us anything we can't power through, but I'm also a newbie so who knows.

Anyway, yeah. It's absolutely wild until it starts happening to you. I got my first memory on, like, my first day here? Depends on whatever triggers it, I guess. I was just talking to someone on the network and he said some kind of fucking sleeper cell code word or whatever and there I was remembering shit.

but aaaaaannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 🙁 🙁 🙁

[rude]

[hauntedsavior]

I'll quit saying it the second you can prove me wrong.

[ofindigoskies]

well if i were straight in your general direction i'm afraid you would cut me in half

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, then I'd have to put you squarely in the bi-section.

[ofindigoskies]

oh my god

sounds 2 me like ur really becoming an "ace" with that sword.

[hauntedsavior]

Google, tell me how to block somebody on a network that most people don't know about.

[ofindigoskies]

aaaw you started it!!

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, and I'll finish it, because there's no good puns for being a lesbian.

[ofindigoskies]

🤔

when you have three bean soup there's only one bean?

'cause there's

less-beans

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, see? That's why I'm tapping out.

Fuckin' wild that someone related to Soleil is ace, though. If that's what I was supposed to get from your pun.

[ofindigoskies]

no way i was just trying to make a good pun

i've had like tons of girlfriends and boyfriends tyvm!!!

[sure jan]

[hauntedsavior]

Uh huh. Well, who and what you do or don't do ain't my business. Do you, dude. Just don't expect me to wingman for you or anything.

[ofindigoskies]

oh my goddd you would be the worst wingman

i on the other hand would be a fantastic wingman if you ever needed one

i can bother the gay girls and then u can swoop in and save them with your lesbian charms 😘

[hauntedsavior]

That's not wingmanning, that's a suicide mission.

I think I can do pretty okay picking people up on my own anyway.
