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.

Well, that's fine too. Not everyone has to be badass. Still, maybe you are and you just don't know it yet.

I guess so! I've always liked skunks. I mean, obviously not the stinky part... but I like their color scheme and devotion to nonlethal incapacitation.

[beneathmoonlight]

I think I’m braver when I’m standing up for my friends. Maybe I’m badass then...

Baby skunks are actually pretty cute. They stamp their feet!

[floret]

Well, there you go! That's enough to count.
I don't think I'm ever really brave, much less badass, but... I think I kind of know what you mean. It's so much easier to stick up for somebody else. lol

They do handstands sometimes, too! It's so charming!

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah. I can’t stand seeing my friends in trouble or upset.

Oh! That sounds adorable!

Their tails look so fluffy. If only I could pet one without getting sprayed.

[floret]

I hope you've got friends who feel the same way about you.

I know, right?? It seems unfair that they look so cute and huggable when there's really no way we should be getting close to one...

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah, I’ve got people I can rely on.

And I know, they’re so cute...

Anyway, do you have plans for this month, Jamie-san?

[floret]

Ummm

I don't!
I mean, studying and working and stuff. And dealing with a temporal storm and some things from outer space, apparently. But I don't really have anything on the calendar. I guess I might try visiting a bar or something?

[beneathmoonlight]

Same here.

A bar? I’ve never been to one. I’m almost nineteen so I’m not old enough to drink.

[floret]

Oh, I didn't know you were younger than me. I'm turning 21, so... I don't know. It just feels like I should try it, maybe.

[beneathmoonlight]

There’s nothing wrong with that! Trying new things is exciting!

I’m happy we’re kind of close in age. I feel super young around here.

[floret]

Yes! But to be honest, I hope I don't like it TOO much. I can't really afford another vice.

lol, I kind of swing back and forth between feeling old and young. We had a middle schooler and a bunch of high schoolers with us on our trip to Respatrum in February... it was weird.

[beneathmoonlight]

Anything in moderation is fine!

I think the more fruity drinks would be better.

Oh, I’ve met a few high schoolers lately too! It does make me feel older, haha.

[floret]

On my liver, maybe, but what about my wallet? If I want to drink for free, I'm going to have to get a lot cuter.

[beneathmoonlight]

But you’re already cute.

[floret]

lol!! it's very kind of you to say so

But there are levels to it. You know?
The "small and harmless" kind of cute is a lower tier than the "others want to buy drinks" kind. Or... rather than tiers, maybe it's a Venn diagram?
But then again, I suppose it's possible I'm mistaken about what things are like at bars...

[beneathmoonlight]

I know what you mean.

People compare me to a kitten a lot.

[floret]

That's rough...
I mean, it's good, really... kittens really are great, and everyone likes them, and they've got those great little teeth.

But I imagine it's, you know
Not always the kind of impression you were hoping for?

(I'm not sure I've gotten kitten. I've gotten mouse before, though.)

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t mind it, but sometimes I’d like to be called handsome instead of cute.

Anyway, I don’t mean to complain.

I hope you have a good time at the bar you go to!

Maybe we can hang out sometime!
