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.

Hi, My name's Akane! Have you used this app before? From the way you're talking it sure sounds like it.

There's either a discrepancy with time...or one with our own senses. It doesn't look good either way.

We don't have any proof so it's all speculation, right?

hi akane, i'm alison. yes, i'm familiar with the app. i was on it until about five months ago, by my guess, and i've suddenly been kicked back on to it. trying to readjust.

and "temporal storm" doesn't sound great, no. there's a chance that whatever it is might miss us, but i'm not hopeful...you're right though. as of now, it's all a bunch of guesswork. better to wait and see, anyway. retrospec always has a way of throwing you for a loop.

[physix]

That name's familiar. I think I've seen you around campus before. You go to the university, right? It's nice to meet you, Alison.

Last time I used this thing everything didn't look right..spacial wise. It has a way of tricking users, sure. That much hasn't changed.

[seeker]

i do. majoring in enviroscience. it's nice to meet you too.

spacial? how so?

[physix]

Everyday objects like your textbooks or even your desk seemed larger in size.

I wasn't sure if I was the one who shrunk or if it was the other way around. It was confusing.

[seeker]

i remember something similiar.
the park i work in, everything was blown way out of proportion. happened just before the giant bug incident.

[physix]

You were around for that, Alison? It seems like a while ago.

Time flies by so quickly when you've got nothing but school on your mind.

[seeker]

about a year ago, i think. give or take. there's been so much weirdness between it that it seems like ages.

what are you studying?

[physix]

Medical science. I really want to become a doctor someday.

Our studies are kind of similar. Do I share any classes with you? I've got classes with Ms.Ellis and Professor Klim.

[seeker]

oh, i know those two. looks like we do share a couple of classes.

weird we haven't met before. i've got to get out more.

[physix]

I know, same here. Usually I just focus on my studies and then head home right away.

I could have easily overlooked you.

[seeker]

that sounds about right. my class load is so nuts sometimes, i forget to come up for air long enough to do anything. it's the worst.

[physix]

Hang in there. We've still got more reports to write and an assignment that's due next week.

I'm going to try and do my best. You can ask me for help if you get stuck on anything, Alison!

[seeker]

thanks. the same to you, akane.
