Okay.

So.

What was that.

I don't really... what's April Fool's Day, and why does it mean suddenly everything is... back to normal?

Well. You know. As normal as this place gets, apparently.

It's a joke.

April Fools is a holiday we have back home too. Everyone plays tricks on each other. The fun is getting someone to actually fall for something on April Fools.

[worstvikingever]

...a joke.

So.

Wait.

The past three weeks. Was all a joke?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, three week long joke.

Hilarious.

[[He doesn't sound amused.]]

April Fool's Day is a day when pranks are played and jokes are told, de arimasu. It's mostly a Pekoponian thing, but we aliens celebrate it too.


[Suddenly it finally dawns on him.]
Whoever put that sign up there means...the recent events were just a joke. Wh-what is this I don't even...

[worstvikingever]

I don't know, but... it's...

I really don't want to think about it.

April Fool's is a day when you set out to make other people look foolish! ♪

[worstvikingever]

Well. I guess that just happened.

[Bitter? WHY YES, HE IS.]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

No idea, kid. I've never heard of it, and I definitely don't understand why it suddenly means the town can just screw with our heads like this.

[worstvikingever]

I just... wanted it to mean something, you know? Everything that happened.

[He sighs. He's just so tired of it all.]

I guess it didn't.

"April Fool's day was originally the pegan new year, but when the Christians took over Europe, they reduced it to a holiday about pranks. Its for immature idiots."

[She pauses a minute]

"You... Haven't seen Precis, have you? She seemed wrong at school."

[worstvikingever]

Precis? I...

[He thinks.]

I haven't seen her in the past few days, no.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yearly prank holiday. But if ya ask me, that's pretty much every day here.

[worstvikingever]

Pranks? You'd say these are pranks?

[bluefrompallet.livejournal.com]

Seems so, huh? Completely normal.

[worstvikingever]

[GO FOR IT, GIRL.]

If you call being abducted from home and thrown into a weird town where they expect you to follow their rules or be punished "normal," then yes. Everything's back to normal.

[Clearly he doesn't think much of the term anymore.]

[alexanderofny.livejournal.com]

Well, not quite back to normal.

We still have the ability to make firearms.

_{[smug Veidt is smug]}

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, there's that.

[Hiccup is not so smug.]

[idkmybfforin.livejournal.com]

Unyu...I don't get it either.

[You maaaay find this voice slightly familiar! Or you may not.

Either way, who let Okuu on the phone?]

[worstvikingever]

[Well it's been a while since he talked to the bird-who-suddenly-turned-into-a-girl, so he doesn't really recognize the voice.]

Apparently it's some sort of thing where people play pranks on each other.

[towertrapped.livejournal.com]

Well, it sounds like a day for the April Fool, but...

What's an April Fool?

[ If she sounds far away, that's because she only knows how to use the speaker. ...It's progress. ]

[worstvikingever]

I dunno. Apparently it's a day to play pranks and jokes and whatever.

Some joke, huh?

[mayflychaser.livejournal.com]

April Fool's day...back when humanity still inhabited earth, I think that was a tradition of some kind. Involving how calenders changed.

[worstvikingever]

People have been saying it was a day about pranks and jokes.

[He sounds bitter and angry. Because hey, who wouldn't be.]

[cantwhinnyemall.livejournal.com]

I am unaware but I dislike the implication of foolery.

[worstvikingever]

Yeah, no kidding. If everything that happened these past few weeks was just a joke, then... did any of it actually mean anything?
