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.

i was going to make a different post to the network later to get a whole list of names and list out the names i already have. from there we can filter.
i really hope this is a good idea. i think it is but i won't really know until we get started.

[usurpers]

Might want to start planning ahead. Maybe separate names by abilities?

[windeity]

that's what i'm drafting for the first meeting. get names and abilities and sort by sub-categories.
this is more interesting than some of my other homework so i do not mind doing it this way.

[usurpers]

If you need any help with those I’ve been getting the hang of gdocs since October.
Honestly . . . me too.

[windeity]

i'm so proud. i could use an extra set of eyes for sure though and there are not many people id trust with that.
it'll be a good summer project too.

[usurpers]

I’ll help you get it done before summer comes around. Unless you mean we’ll get the group rolling by then.

[windeity]

yeah, getting the group going! i really hope, anyway.
if we take longer than that i will be very concerned about our ability to function as a society honestly.

[usurpers]

People can do worse than you think sometimes, John. But that won’t be our case.
We’ve got more responsible people than not. Hopefully we won’t have to keep worrying about younger people.

[windeity]

oh no trust me, i know. i kind of remember that being the case back in my old life on some occasions.
the younger ones can hold their own, surprisingly. after seeing people like gar and mimori and sakura in action i am confident we can get them up to the speed they need to be.

[usurpers]

So they’re not just talk?

[windeity]

man no way. mimori and gar especially have had my back in a few different fights.
they're good kids.

[usurpers]

i’m actually glad
especially coming from you, i know i can take your word for it
not that i’ll let them off easy yet

[windeity]

oh definitely not. they will have to train and work just as hard as the rest of us.
but i am just saying i think we should be open to all possibilities.
dave and i started when we were thirteen back in our old universe. i think he actually started younger than me, too.

[usurpers]

started what, fighting? or powers?

[windeity]

both technically?
we got our powers at 13 but dave used to train with his bro from what i remember.

[usurpers]

back then I think I got mine when I was like
9 or 10. i just never knew about it for another few years.

[windeity]

that's a little more alarming dude.
like dormant powers?
it makes you wonder how long you had your abilities here before you learned how to shift.

[usurpers]

i lost all my scars and tattoos sometime around december. either it was really slow and didn’t heal those earlier or it was around there. i only pieced things together about when it happened when i got a memory of my dad doing something to me.
you guys knew right away?

[windeity]

i've heard of people losing things they've had here, but that still seems very extreme.
here? no. i mean maybe sort of. i knew i could control the wind before i could do it for like a month. i think dave has always had the time thing.
where we are from it was some weird kind of...thing, i think. like it was supposed to happen.
so i guess maybe we knew even if we didn't know.
that makes no sense, does it?

[usurpers]

if you squint

[ heh ]

but i get it. as much as being someone out of the loop can
and my case isnt as extreme as it could be. i could’ve lost a limb or worse. now i grow them back.

[windeity]

you are essentially a lizard, dude, and that is pretty awesome.
anyway, i'll keep you posted. i should get going, i've been sitting here forever fielding questions.

[usurpers]

go at it john. i’ll catch you later.
