[Video, right after morning sirens]

[ibreakrules]

[Frau is incredibly confused.  Maybe if he knew what April first meant, he wouldn't be.  Unfortunately he has no idea what April Fool's Day is.  That's probably a good thing for all of you people out there too...]

What is wrong with the sirens today?

[He hasn't yet opened any doors to find out that there is far more wrong than just the sirens either.]

It's April Fool's Day. Dunno what's goin' on, but I'd like t'be able t'go to the store without walkin' inta someone else's livin' room.

[Behind him, Mimsy is growling over something.]

... Where did ya get that sock?

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

Why is some day named after a person whose last name is Fools? That's just asking for trouble.

And it's not that hard to tell the difference between a store and someone's house.

[Video]

[southernreaper]

April's the month. First day o' April is the Feast o' Fools or somethin' like that.

[Sigh.]

Every time I open a door, it goes some place different. Mimsy, gimme that sock.

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

That's ridiculous.

[And he means both. The only closed door in his apartment is the main door. He doesn't bother closing his bedroom door all the way.]

[Video]

[southernreaper]

Aww, it's all meant in good fun. Annoyin' but, all in good fun.

[Kevin's video is moving all around as he's trying to get the sock from his dog.]

Mimsy! Gimme that back. C'mon, dog, gimme the... Dangit.

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

I don't mind a few good pranks, but having a day meant for them ruins the surprise. People are too ready for it.

[Yeah, Frau has pulled a hell of a lot of pranks in his time.]

Try exchanging it with a treat.

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[A snort.]

Ya still ain't ready fer everythin' an' I dun tried. She jus' keeps chewin' on it.

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

So what's the big deal if she does? Is it yours?

[Video]

[southernreaper]

No, that's the problem. I dunno where she dun got it from.

[Sigh. Mimsy has now hidden behind the couch with her favorite sock.]

I opened the door inta someone's livin' room this mornin' an' she went through. Next thin' I know, she's got them things.

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

Meh. I wouldn't worry about it then.

[Frau waves his hand as a visual hint to just not worry about it. If they aren't Kevin's socks then it doesn't matter if they're chewed up.]

Let her have fun.

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[Sigh.]

Ain't right t'keep what's mine, Frau.

[Video]

[ibreakrules]

I highly doubt anyone is going to want it back. Besides, it's just a sock.

voice!

[madeinoblivion]

Hah! Too bad they didn't use my remix!

video still and always

[ibreakrules]

Mix of what?

Re: video still and always

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. Of Benny Hill. It's kind of my signature, after I played it at Club 24 during the riots last yea-

Or.... the year before that, I guess. Time sure flies.

[ibreakrules]

Benny Hill?

[Yup, Frau is just getting more and more confused.]

[madeinoblivion]

That song playing.

[ibreakrules]

Oh.

[Frau's never heard of the "popular" musicians here. He doesn't even speak the same language they're singing in. Why would he know them?]

[madeinoblivion]

Anyway, it's a holiday for being kind of silly and playing tricks on each other.

[ibreakrules]

I'd say that sounds fun, but if there's a specific day for it everyone will know it's coming. That's not nearly as much fun.

[madeinoblivion]

Except for people who forget it's here! There's always a few.

[ibreakrules]

Huh. That could work alright then.

[madeinoblivion]

So is there anyone here you'd pull a prank on?

That guy who tried to take your dirty books? Is he still around?

[ibreakrules]

[The sudden change in mood is visible with that question.]

No. He's gone.

[So awfully depressing that Frau doesn't even mention the fact that he'd pull a prank on just about anyone.]

[madeinoblivion]

Oh...

I'm sorry. He was... a good friend, right?

[ibreakrules]

My apprentice.

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. I didn't know you were a master, too.

[ibreakrules]

A master? Hell no. I'm just a bishop. Teito is a bishop in training.

[madeinoblivion]

Oh. I keep forgetting that you can be an apprentice in a lot of things...

[ibreakrules]

Yeah. Quite a few.

[madeinoblivion]

What do you do as a bishop, in a place like this?

[ibreakrules]

Stay as far the hell away from the church as I can.

[He grins. Yeah, he's being serious. Dead serious.]

[madeinoblivion]

Jonova? Yeah, they're....

A little weird. They thought Kadaj and his brothers were something special. Prophets.

[ibreakrules]

What the hell's Jonova?

[As far as Frau was concerned, pretty much everyone at any church was a little weird.]

[madeinoblivion]

The group that's got the big Cathedral, in Sector 6? They collect lots of charity munny, and their priests can heal people.

[ibreakrules]

Ah. I don't pay attention to any of that.

[Like he said, he stays as far away from the church as possible.]

[madeinoblivion]

Sometimes they give out free food. Or else I wouldn't bother.

[ibreakrules]

Free vegetarian food. No thanks.

[madeinoblivion]

Well... yeah, I guess. Mostly pasta.

[ibreakrules]

Stupid rules...
