[recollecters]

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.

[It's clearly a sensitive subject that Shuji shouldn't pry about.]

I don't remember exactly who was in the club when I was in it with you, so maybe I should just say 'there's a lot of people on the app' and leave it at that.

[informantic]

Fair enough. I'm not even sure why I asked, given how few people I've kept up with myself.

[Okay, he has to check in about one more person. Since Shuji either doesn't know what happened or is playing it remarkably cool, this should be fine...]

Chuuya Nakahara runs the Inkwell, doesn't he? How's he doing?

[thesettingsun]

[He definitely doesn't have the details besides 'no longer dating'.]

About as well as anybody is? The bar's doing well, and you should ask him about his personal business. He's on the app.

[informantic]

[With that reply, Heigo officially feels as if he's been busted on his weird lines of questioning.]

You're right. And regardless of whether or not I ask anyone directly, I shouldn't be asking you.

I effectively firebombed some of those bridges a few years ago, to be completely honest with you.

[thesettingsun]

I don't know the story and I don't really want to know right now, but please don't try to get information on other people through me. I don't think that's unreasonable to ask.

[informantic]

[Heigo doesn't respond for quite awhile, long enough that Shuji could understandably get the impression he's angry at being called out, but he's not. Something much more serious than sulking is happening on his end of the conversation.

Finally:]

I'm really sorry, Shuji.

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji's assumption is that Heigo is sulking - either that or considering his life choices. He doesn't know which, and he tries not to assume what people on the internet are thinking.

(He's not very good at it, but he tries.)

Either way, the answer is the same.]

It's alright.

[Because Shuji isn't going to put up with that, and Heigo knows that now, and they can move on with their lives.]

[informantic]

Chatting is no way to catch up in the first place. Would you be willing to meet sometime?

[thesettingsun]

I'd love to. When are you free?

[informantic]

Ha, that's always the million dollar question. I'll take a look at my schedule and see what I can shuffle around, let you know when I find a gap.

[thesettingsun]

I'm sure we'll be able to find something even with your job, my jobs and my classes.

[informantic]

I'll do what I can to make sure of it.

Talk to you again soon, Shuji.

See you soon. There's a lot to catch up on.
