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.

I see. Then, your best friend is a good person. I do find some bluntness acceptable, provided there is still some kindness with it.

One can be both, I think.

Out of curiosity. How many swords out there are like you?

[liberal_arts]

There are six of us, all together. The aforementioned friend Jirou, his fiance Kenta, two young men named Kashuu and Yasu, and another gentleman whose name escapes me at the moment.

[ascatic]

Ah, Kashuu. I know him.

He is a fine individual. The others, I do not think I know.

But six is quite a number. Especially if you are all swords. That cannot be a coincidence.

[liberal_arts]

It's not. We all collectively remember a certain citadel, and the purpose of us having these human-like forms.

[ascatic]

And what is your purpose? Surely not all of you are poets...?

[liberal_arts]

We are conscripts, fighting in a war against a group known as the History Retrograde Army, which intends to change Japanese history in order to influence the direction of the country in their favor.

And I suppose that this History Retrograde Army would be causing harm instead of benefiting others.

[liberal_arts]

There's an old saying that everyone is the hero of their own story.

[ascatic]

Putting it that way...

I will hope that you, as well as the other swords here, are the heroes. Because to be beholden to a story that could affect everyone and anyone, I would want the ones I know to be successful.

I'll take it, ha ha! Thank you for your support!
