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.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not about to start praising them, either. Thinking this is a novel diversion doesn't really change how terrible they are at their alleged jobs.

[wordcarvings]

I didn't think that you were about to, and I don't think just one or two little things will make any of those who have been through a lot to be about to do otherwise. Nothing will get better in this matter just like that.

[liberal_arts]

Exactly. It's just now I'm less likely to want their heads off on first sight.

[wordcarvings]

Oh dear. Kaneda-san, that's a bit extreme in the first place.

[liberal_arts]

Ah, yes. I suppose it is. Plus it's not as if headless bodies can give explanations.

[wordcarvings]

Yes, that would cause some amount of complications regarding that.

[liberal_arts]

Even so, frustrations mount, month after month, and people I care about suffer. To say this is trying would be the utmost ridiculous understatement.

[wordcarvings]

There are no doubts about that but what can we really do? Things are not going to stop yet, are they?

[liberal_arts]

And therein lies the most frustrating thing. Our relative powerlessness.

[wordcarvings]

I suppose that that is the most frustrating thing.

[liberal_arts]

We are but motes of dust on a breeze.

[wordcarvings]

Ah. Yes I guess that is true.
