[so here we go, here's an image of the indoor waterfall, a round bed, and a very tired looking shou sitting on the round bed in loose sweat pants and not much else. he was drying his hair and it looks like he got it cut and styled differently than the braids he had pulsed back.]

You know what the worse thing to have after spending 15 hours in the air? Pulses coming back on top of having jetlag. I feel like I've been trying to run uphill for days. So anyways, anyone wanna tell me what has been happening?

[he tosses the towel off to the side and lays down on his stomach, so there's a close-up of his face and part of his shoulders.]

Oh yeah, just so you know, leaving the town doesn't get rid of everything. I got to Japan and I thought that everyone here was part of a kinda LARP group or something.

And Kei, you really are a bad influence to orphans.

This is a bad joke. A really... really dumb April Fool's joke.

[ Marina's voice sounds shaken, to say the least, and it's a little muffled. The sound of her laying on a bed, on her side, although you'd have to be a strange sort of expert to figure that out.

She sniffles, the sound of someone who was crying. ]

Someone here is using their powers to play a dumb stupid shitty prank and when I... when I find out...

[ Her voice goes quieter, until the last few words are only just audible. There's the sound of... something being hit. ]

They better fix it! I can't do this! I can't deal with this! This is bullshit!

[ She switches on her laptop's camera, leaning in close enough that her eye is practically taking up the whole thing. A red eye. Yep, definitely a little crying happened.

The reason why just might be apparent when she backs away, her head totally devoid of hair, the look on her face growing manic. ]

Whoever's responsible fess up! Did you bribe Connie to make it look real or did you just start early? This isn't happening, do you hear me you sick fuck?!

[Emil is in his bedroom, a small cluttered space. There are band posters on the walls and an unholy chaos of stuff all around. The pile on the right still vaguely resembles a bed but the floor is long gone under all the clothes, sheet music, and what appears to be half of a hardware store.]

First order of business - any idea what this means?

[He takes off the baseball cap he’s wearing to reveal a short, white horn peeking through his blonde hair, sort of like a unicorn]

Got it after the light show. Not sure what’s up with that so I’m open to suggestions. I will also be taking hat advice ‘cause the baseball cap is not tall enough and it’s really uncomfortable. Past me had this - [He holds up a black pointy hat] but as cool as it looks it doesn’t really suit this day and age. [And he doesn’t feel like dressing up like his past self, anyway.]

Second, today one of these teleporting iPods showed up in the living room. Played a shitty song but that’s not the point. Point is that two seconds after it disappeared, I got hit with this Echo.

[He steps out of the picture for a moment to drag something back - a musical instrument, seemingly a perfectly normal ¾ double bass.]

And I mean I literally got hit, it fell right on my head and it fucking hurt.

[Holding the instrument upright, he picks up the bow and pulls it across the strings - hesitantly, as he clearly never tried to play one before. The sound is ridiculously high pitched for its size.]

Listen to that. It’s a violin. I know it’s a violin ‘cause it sounds like one and past-me called himself “the Ultra Big Special Violin player”. I have no idea if you play it like a violin or a double bass and anyway it doesn’t matter ‘cause I don’t know how to play either of those. If you guys know anything about giant magical violins then enlighten me. [He sets the instrument against the wall and sits back.]

Mom saw it, started to freak out about weird things showing up in our home. So I told her and my grandparents everything. Hiding stuff is one thing but I couldn’t lie to their face, you know? [Family. The only people who will never hear Emil’s bullshit.] I've been thinking about that ever since the giant snake thing, anyway, and today was the last push. They took it pretty well, all things considered.

[And by “pretty well” he means that by now they’ve stopped freaking out and no one’s crying anymore. He leans forward to turn off the feed, but stops to add one more thing:]

And yes I’m ignoring the obvious question of WHY THAT FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN BUILD A VIOLIN THIS BIG YOU FUCKING WEIRDO ‘cause it’s easier on my brain.

[Emil out.]

Adventure 27 | [Action and Video]

[italktofish]

[Scenario A, noon, April 1]
[So it's lunchtime. And there's a restaurant. And there's Arthur, eating at a restaurant. This should not be unusual.

But this restaurant is a Long John Silver's, and Arthur is sitting down to chow down on a fried fish basket.]

[Scenario B, 5:00 PM, April 1]
[Horror of horrors, there are TWO ARTHURS squaring off against each other in the park.]

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, YOU IMPOSTROUS VILLAIN!

No, stop! You're scaring me!

[One Arthur is loud and angry. The other looks like he might faint from terror and is barely making a sound. How very unusual.]

[Open Video to the Network, evening of April 1]
GUYS! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!

I ran into ANOTHER ME! And he was being a DASTARDLY VILLAIN! But then he GOT AWAY! So if you see me, you better make sure it's ME me, because it may be that FIEND, whatever he was!
