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! Joanne Wiseman Technician 2nd class Retrspec Incorporated 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.

I actually don't mind this prank at all! It's really cute!! (´ ∀ ` *) I love the cat ears!

I'm a little worried about that temporal storm though.

[unidolize]

I agree that this is one of the better tricks Retrospec's played on us. The cat ears are charming. They're a good look on you.

Have you ever experienced a temporal storm before? I'm not sure what to expect.

[spiritoso]

Thanks! I'm happy it turned out so well!

I haven't. I'm wondering what exactly it means. Like will we get sent back in time or something?

[unidolize]

You really think it'll be something so...extreme?
Though...that sort of thing may not be out of the ordinary for Retrospec.
They seem to be able to do the impossible.

[spiritoso]

I think it's possible! You're right in that they do the impossible. I wouldn't have believed any of this happened just a few months ago.

But I think it's always a good idea to prepare for the worst so we're not caught off guard.

[unidolize]

Agreed.
I've prepared an emergency kit in case of a disaster.
I've advised others to do the same, but some people don't really take that sort of thing seriously.

My name is Dia, by the way. Dia Kurosawa. It's nice to meet you; I've only been on the app for approximately two months, now.

Let's make other animals too! Like a fox!

Should we invite the others too?

[optimistical]

Yeah!

You know, I was actually thinking that maybe we should get together and do something a little more lighthearted. We only really seem to get together when we talk about our memories and that can be pretty depressing so we should do something fun instead.

[spiritoso]

That's a great idea! We need to spend time together as friends instead of talking about serious stuff!

[optimistical]

Exactly!

I'm pretty sure that I still have my old M64 somewhere in my room so I could pull that out for us as well? I think video games would be a lot of fun to play with all of us.

[spiritoso]

I think so too! I haven't had time to play any games for a while, so it'll be a lot of fun!

Wow I'm so jealous! I wish I could get something like that!

I really hope I never get them. I drew some sketches of what they looked like. They're even creepier when you see them.

[lingeringwill]

kaede those bears are 100% evil

wait

💯

there we go

Its like that movie about the doll that comes to life and kills everyone
or that japanese hide and seek game where your stuffed animal hunts you down

[spiritoso]

Thinking about that makes them soooo much creepier! Σ(°ロ°)

At least they had no idea what they were doing in my memory. Maybe they're not THAT dangerous after all. Just scary looking.

[lingeringwill]

you know what i can actually kinda relate to that 🤔

[spiritoso]

Really? You don't look scary at all though!

Neither would I! I can't even imagine what kind of situation I'd be going back to honestly. Going to the future doesn't sound as bad but it's still scary to think about.

[kindhearted]

Yeah... Either way, we really wouldn't know exactly what we'd be getting into.

"Temporal" can also mean "worldly" too. So talking about how it's around the planet could be referring to that. I wonder how they're even keeping track of that kinda stuff though...

[spiritoso]

Maybe it has to do with the new places everyone discovered? Although the whole world means there's a lot it could be.

[kindhearted]

Could be. But yeah, it's pretty up in the air unsurprisingly. It could even mean like, the outside kind of around the planet and that's even more confusing to take into consideration.

[missingache]

At least it's a better trick than what happened when I got here. There was an app that gave people things like flower crowns.

[spiritoso]

That sounds really cute too! I definitely like this trick more though. There's a lot of variety.

[missingache]

The variety is nice, and they don't show up outside of the app like the flower crowns.

[spiritoso]

The flower crowns showed up other places? That's actually kind of creepy.

[missingache]

Kind of? It was more embarrassing for the people who got stuck with the crowns on them.
