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!

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.

Moving forward. The only thing you can do in situations like those is move forward. Moving backwards or staying put means the end.

[ that’s what he told three out of five people mentioned. he cared for them too— he hated seeing them the way they were, hope a speck and despair a giant. no one ever said it was easy, but . . . he believes in a greater strength. if they got through it once, they can do it again.

and after a moment: ]

All our past selves died somehow. If they didn’t die earlier, they would’ve when the worlds were destroyed. It was just all a matter of when.

But I get what you’re trying to say.

[Leave it to Eren to find inspiring words like that. They were simple, but effective.]

Ha. And you say I'm the one better at talking to people. That's really good.

[Inspiring, hopeful and realistic]

...And yeah I guess all of us died somehow. It's just from the sound of it, they died years before that world was destroyed, when they were still a teenager.

It's one thing to know by logic that our past selves died, but to remember it happening...that can't be easy.

[....]

But don't think I'm trying to get out of hearing memories! We really should have another memory share session this month.

If it made a difference for you just now, that’s what matters. I know it made a difference for me. Sometimes people just need reminders from someone else.

[ counting that it was a guy in a memory that told him that when he was at his worst. ]

You wouldn’t mind another one?

Eheh, that's true enough. Reminders are really helpful. Though you always make a difference for me.

[ It was rare he spent time with Eren and didn't feel better by the end of it.]

Of course I wouldn't! We both keep getting new memories, right? So if anything, it'd be smart to make it a monthly thing Keep us from having a massive backlog of memories to go through at once, you know?

Should I mention all the differences you make or

[ how much has eren changed for the better because of elliot???? ]

I like it.
This month’s on me, okay? I already have an idea. But, I want to be honest with you about one thing.

Eheh, not now it'll be too embarrassing! Save it for when I'm having a bad day?

[The days his anxiety got the better of him. ]

Okay! And honest about what?

You always say that.

[ but he thinks of it rather fondly to start. well . . . ]

I already told you the better things I remember. Everything else is a little tense.
I’m alright with talking about them, but I want to hear what you want too.

Yes, and someday I will cash in on it. Be sure of it.

[Someday soon at the rate his life is going. But...ah]

Hey, the reason we're doing this is because of the bad memories.
So of course I wanna hear them.
Maybe I won't be happy to hear them, but...
What kind of boyfriend would I be if I wasn't there for the bad stuff too?

If you’re sure. I know I want you to be able to count on me to hear yours out.

Next free night sound good?

Yep, I'm sure. And I know I can- we're a team!

Free night sounds great. Anything I should bring?

Just you.

Speaking of memories, I need to tell you something.

Now, you mean? What is it?

I met someone from my memories the other day.
It didn’t really go well.

Oh no...

Who was it? What happened?

His name is Levi Ackerman. He was other me’s captain.
I saw him in the street when I was walking with Titan, so I decided to follow and try to talk to him.
He listened a little, but. Obviously he thought I was crazy.

Oh wow...
Yeah, Rean thought I was pretty crazy too.
Is he on the app?

He’s still on it, so I guess he’s in for the ride.
But he told me not to go after him again if it wasn’t his call. So I’ll just wait.

Yikes. That sounds pretty cold.

Though I guess everyone adjusts at their own pace.
Rean and I didn't exactly hit it off when he was on the app.

He wasn’t an easy person to talk to. Honestly I remember being tense whenever he was around.

[ only you will be the one to know how much he’s actually. afraid of this guy. sort of. ]

Didn’t he just shrug you off too?

If he was a commander of the survey corps, I'd imagine he must be intimidating.

Yeah, something like that.

something like that

[ elliot ]

Well it's not like anything TERRIBLE happened..
It's just more...

You know those movies where there's a romantic couple
But the actors have NO chemistry so it feels forced and stupid?
It felt like that.
Though without the romance part, of course.

He actually asked more questions about his other self's sword than me.

like that halflight bullshit

[ YOU KNOW ]

it’s better to outright not believe you than completely ignore you
douche

[ — erM ]

sorry it’s your friend but seriously

Yeah, like that.

Haha, it's okay.
Maybe we were friends in another life, but we're different people now.
If anything, meeting him helped me realize that.

Better to cherish who I have in my life now than chase after some past life dream.

I think you were the one that taught me that the most. Without it I don’t know where I’d be with these memories. Somewhere shitty and deep.

I just don’t want that to happen to Levi.

Still, though, if anyone else you know pops up . . . I hope you can be friends with them. Good friends.

[ he never forgot that class picture— they all had really good faces. good people. elliot deserves to be around good people. ]
