19: Now this is how you do April Fools.

[scaresplants]

[So, Vatheon, you've probably woken up to that horrendous and bloody idea of a April Fool's joke caused by nurses and have been thoroughly scarred by the event. What more awaits you on this day of tomfoolery?]

[Like Crowley knows. He's just sitting here at his desk, smiling slightly as he looks over at the SFC.]

That was quite the scare, wasn't it? Idiots. They totally got their information wrong about the holiday. It's supposed to be a holiday full of people making fun of other people, not, well, murdering them. Methinks that someone was accidentally looking at the Halloween entry when looking up information on the date.

But either way, I know many of you come from worlds where April Fool's Day doesn't exist. I know a few of you helpful people who know about it have tried to explain it, but really, most of you are missing the actual history behind it. For there is a history on why April First, of all days, is a day of making fools of one another. It stems all the way from the Roman Festival Hilaria, which was a festival of rejoicing held around March 25th or so. And there are many other events and people in history that made All Fool's Day the day it is.

[And then a shrug.] ...But honestly, I'm not the best at explaining history that much- I get a bit too long-winded on it, really. So, I have devoted my time to writing up a nice description of what the holiday is all about. Hopefully that will illuminate most of you who are beginning to believe this is the National Day of Killing or what not. [An annoyed sigh.] It's not.

[He reaches over to the SFC, and with a click and a beep and a press on the "Send to All" option, an attachment named WhatIsAprilFools.doc should be popping up on your SFC, Vatheonites.]

All the information is there for you to look at. Please enlighten yourself on this holiday, I'd hate for people to be so misinformed. After all, when there are fools, there are always people to take advantage of them...

[And then he grins and turns the SFC off before he can explain what exactly he means by that.]



[ooc: Your character can choose to open the attachment or not, it's all up to them. But if they do, then they will not receive a document on the history of April Fool's Day, but the music of that video embedded in a document file that will play extremely loudly, play for a very long time (1 hour, to be exact) and will be really hard to get rid of. Turning off the SFC will make it stop, but turning it on again will just make it continue from where it left off. Trying to close the document will be impossible (Crowley designed it so you can't exit out of it), and the only way to truly get rid of it is to listen to it for well over an hour or try to appeal to Crowley's good side and ask him to get rid of it. HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR APRIL FOOL'S DAY GIFT, VATHEON. B)]

Crowley.

[scaresplants]

[And this is the world's most innocent look.]

What, what did I do?

[video] 1/5 maybe

[unconchonable]

[Oh! History, even if it's human history, it's still nice! Guess who is listening intently and, oh wow a document, alright.]

[Sure is opening that docu--]

[video] 2/5

[unconchonable]

[--ment.]

[video] 3/5

[unconchonable]

[What...]

[video] 4/5

[unconchonable]

[This isn't anything about history at all, or April fool's day! Why does it keep playing, why is that blond haired human singing like that, why are they all so muscular? This looks like something he'd imagine Eq to dream about perversely, well, maybe if there were more horses or something.]

[... WHY IS THERE NO HISTORY BEING TOLD? HE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU SAY "HEY", BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!]

[video] 5/5

[unconchonable]

What the actual fuck, this isn't some goddamn document about anythin' to do with April Fool's day or any a your shitty Earth Human history! I think you linked the wrong fuckin' thing--what is this ewen? God it sounds fuckin' awful.

[He might be downloading the song right now...]

[video]

[chosen_gigolo]

What the shit is this?!

[He'd been curious, okay? But the effect of blaring music on angelically enhanced hearing is painful so I hope you like random redheads screaming at you, Crowley.

He's got earplugs in now but after he gives Crowley what for this damn thing is going in his sock drawer and he's leaving the house without it for awhile.]

[video]

[scaresplants]

It's an explanation of what April Fool's Day is. What, it doesn't explain it well?

Video

[not_heavens_adam]

[He can't decide if he's amused or not...]

The hell is this, Crowley?

Video

[scaresplants]

It's April Fools, I explained as much in my post. You do listen, don't you, vampire?

Video

[zelda_hylia]

[Zelda basically hadn't slept during the entire murder episode, and she's quite eager to find out what "April Fools" is.

And then this music.]

What is wrong with you?!

Video

[scaresplants]

[Looking as though he didn't do a single thing wrong!]

Me? I just gave you the best explanation I could on April Fools, what, did I miss a hundred years or so?

Not here

[brbrevengeance]

[Guess who opened it.

Guess who didn't mean to open it.

And now her SFC is going sit in the god damned freezer until it stops. >:|

This isn't even that great of music.]

[scaresplants]

[THAT IS THE POINT, HEATHER. THAT IS THE POINT.]

[Crowley: +10, Populace: 0]

[Video]

[heartandsoul]

[...She can't be mad, she was chilling out listening to the music for the past hour.]

That was pretty good--the song, I meant, although the prank was pretty good too, I guess. I like this song better though--[and she sends back this file.]

[Yes, she's being genuine. You have just encountered someone that legitimately has weird taste in music.]

[Video]

[scaresplants]

Good?

[LOL WHAT THAT IS NOT THE REACTION HE WANTED and what is this music that she sent him even what]

You do realize that dubstep isn't exactly music? It's like music's demented cousin twice-removed.

[ex_fintastic398]

[ She doesn't know what an April Fools is but she knows what being trolled it! That's not stopping her from laughing and chair-dancing for the camera. ]

I could get used to this Earth holiday!

video;

[scaresplants]

It's quite the fun one, isn't it?

Don't know why more people don't participate in it, really.

anonymous text;

[handshakegreeting]

A murder, huh? [Oh look, it's a newbie. A rather clueless one at that. Or so it seems, before... wait, how would they be able to send a text anonymously?]

Did it not still cause the desired intent in making fools of those who would fall for the illusion of death?

I do believe it has...

text;

[scaresplants]

[This is...weird, to say the least.]

Yes, a murder.

Well, if you're into that sort of thing. But no, it was a real death, and it just worried a bunch of people.

Do you have a murder fetish, or...?

1/?

[withoutasign]

[Oh, okay, that's convenient. Signless does appreciate these occasional lessons on human culture and holidays. Just gonna open this file...]

2/?

[withoutasign]

[Whoah.]

[not here, but...]

[lyrewings]

[Butterfly doesn't use his own SFC, but he keeps hearing this same thing, repeated over and over and over again. He likes it. He likes it a great deal.]

HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA...

[What have you done, Crowley? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!]

[scaresplants]

[A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL THING.]

[All bow down to Crowley, master of messing everyone's lives here forever. B)]

[Video]

[kissedgoldfrog]

[Never met you before but the document looks odd. Not sure if should trust. I mean, the nurses MURDERED someone for shits and giggles so yeah, Maddie's being careful.]

How do I know that isn't a prank either?

[Video]

[scaresplants]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Only way of finding out is clicking on it.

But than again, don't click on it. It's clearly not worth enough interest for you, so, what's the point?

audio;

[ex_sticks911]

[ Too bad that this is the wrong twin to present such an eloquent display of the history of April Fool's Day to. Jacen and his awful sense of humor would've love it.

Aside from the murder, that is. ]

Your taste in music is kriffing awful. [ A beat. ]

Tell me more about this murder.

[ By now she has to yell because she can't freaking hear anything over the volume of the sith-spawned poodoo Crowley calls 'music'. ]

NOT HERE

[bufudine]

[Oh. Cool, what a helpful guy to have written something to explain April Fool's--

...What is this.

......Wow this sounds terrible. Why would this guy lie and...?

Oh. Oh. He gets it now. ...Now how does he make this song stop? Turning it off hasn't done much, especially since he'll actually need to use his SFC in the future.

...No. He was going to ask how to stop the 'music', and maybe ask about Halloween, but you know what? Serph's had enough of April Fool's. He'll deal with this later. Serph's going to just leave his SFC in the Embryon base to blare out horrendous music while he drags everyone else who lives there to the beach. God. +1 for Crowley.]

Video;

[redcloakedthief]

...Well, that was good practice.

[He doesn't look too bothered, nope.]
