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 should say not
they're a little important to me as a person and all

[liberal_arts]

Ah. So that's how it is.

A fellow artist, then?

[diamant]

that's a very good guess! also exactly it yes

[liberal_arts]

Call it a sixth sense. Or just being able to read between the lines.

[diamant]

i'm not a terribly complicated man

[liberal_arts]

In my experience, that form of self-description rarely holds much truth to it.

[diamant]

a better question is probably whether it's untruthful on purpose
or because that's the problem with self-descriptions

[liberal_arts]

It can be both, but I'd rather choose the path that makes the least assumptions here.

[diamant]

good choice really
and it says a lot about you too
good things, don't worry

[liberal_arts]

Oh good. Here I thought I'd crossed my bounds.

[diamant]

i'm told it's surprisingly hard to do that with me

[liberal_arts]

Is that so? How do you mean?

[diamant]

i like hearing what people have to say
even if it's inappropriate or not something i agree with
i suppose you can say i'm fascinated with people
as such i don't like worrying about what should or shouldn't be said
just say what you want, i like that sort of thing

[liberal_arts]

Well I guess I can't find any fault in that perspective. As artists, we prefer to observe those sort of honest reflections of our world, right?

[diamant]

that's it yes!
either honest reflections of the world
or just what other people think of as their own truths i guess
honesty is another of those very personal things

[liberal_arts]

Well I did say 'honest', not 'objective'.
