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.

Per the mod plotting post, you may use this post to obtain one of this month's freebies! This month's freebie can be earned by turning in a thread on this post that has 5 or more consecutive comments from you with someone new. We define someone new as someone new to the game, or simply someone your character has never tagged before.

Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently.

This post is the overflow for the post originally found here! Please feel free to make new toplevels or simply shift your threads over.

Wow, chill...
I was just curious what kinda thing you were expecting to find.

At this point?

Anything

They aren't exactly the most informative people around

So, no patterns yet? Not even just "people who lack the legal knowhow to, I dunno, subpoena these guys or something?"
If nothing else, with a sample size in the hundreds, that's kinda notable by itself...

There's lawyers but something tells me they've had no luck either.

So far the only "certain" connection is what they've told us already: that we're all apparently souls they've collected randomly who are able to recall our previous lives in bits and pieces.

That's too bad. Although I guess it's convenient for them.
Now I gotta wonder how many people on here would take the time to fill out a much broader survey...
lienhearts: ([Curious] I don't know the)

[personal profile] lienhearts 2018-04-22 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
There's some people who've tried general questions but I don't know how many people actually contacted them

There's got to people who responded privately too

Sounds about right. Just not so great for analysing.
Well, maybe someday. I can add that to the 98 problems this app has already given me since it first showed up. 😸

[personal profile] lienhearts 2018-04-24 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
And which ones are those?

[personal profile] meowchanics 2018-04-25 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean... if there's an aspect of this app you wouldn't class as "a problem," that sure would be news to me.

People usually have a top five

Or ten

Let's see... speaking as a biologist...
1) Most of science is based on the principle of causality
2) Most of biology is based on the important mechanisms of life being in the physical body, not somewhere off in another universe
3) I recognise way too many of my students in the names listed here
4) People don't appreciate invertebrates enough
5) For real, is it too late to find religion, escape all of this and become a monk somewhere?

Pretty sure nothing's stopping you from becoming a monk

Too late to escape, though

See, not being able to retire to the top of a mountain somewhere eliminates a lot of the appeal...
Guess I'll let you know how it goes?

Unless your new faith prevents you from communicating with phones
