"Kills fascists and eats kidney beans." Put that on my grave, which I'll need in about two hours.

Characters: Gene Khan, Miles Upshur, Aly Haskell, Kai, and y'all
Date: throughout April
Location: Aifaran and environs
Situation: A bunch of April Fools.
Warnings/Rating: Will be added as they arise

[A] | Gene | the mean streets of Aifaran | April 10 | closed to Valdis
The noise rolling through the city at least happens at predictable intervals. That doesn't make it any more bearable, and it makes anxiety swell in Gene, and his teeth ache and his bones rattle. At least it hasn't given him headaches like it has Tony, but it still hasn't been good for him. He's jumpy, and paranoid, and it seems like a lot of other people are, too.

He's late returning from the dojo when, like clockwork, the noise-that's-not-quite-a-noise begins again. The pulses have been getting a little longer, but he hasn't been keeping track of the pattern. It should only be a few minutes, right? He doesn't want to walk like this; he goes to lean against a wall instead to wait for the noise to pass. He hopes it ends soon.

[B] | Kai | the Dreaming Bridge | April 5 | closed to Nita
One would think that Kai would be reasonably used to weird things happening, given that she'd been here this long, but walking into the room to see words - actual physical words - spilling out of her roommate's ears like someone busted a fire hydrant is something else.

"Um..." She blinks. "You okay, famsquad?"

[C] | Miles | a park | April 4 | closed to Kit
Miles is going to be a little bit sad to see Flekk go; he'd gotten used to having the weird little creature around. He hadn't had a pet in a while, and when Ilda had disappeared he'd been left holding the bag, as it were. At least he hadn't hurt the poor thing. That had cheered him up a little; maybe he wasn't truly the monster he thought he was.

He's holding the fidgety little bibiru in his arms when he sees Kit. "Hey, salroka!" he calls out.

[D] | Miles | Pepper's townhouse | March 31 | open
Forgetting that he'd told Pepper when his birthday was had been a grave, grave error. She'd promised to throw him a party, and he hadn't been able to avoid it. It's not that he doesn't like parties or being the center of attention, but...

...there's no real reason he should be feeling squirrely about this, but he is anyway. "You sure I can't ditch?" he asks Pepper outside.

Once he's been chivvied into the party, though, he's far more in his element, relaxing for the first time in what seems like ages. And the man can put away a stunning amount of cake.

Nita thought about that a moment (something reflected in the nature of the words spilling on the ground), then nodded.

"No worries; it's new for both of us. And hopefully a one-time thing."

"Well, yeah, I hope it's not permanent, that'd kind of be annoying," Kai said offhandedly. That's putting it mildly, Kai. "So we could try and catch the words, or think at them. Words are words, right?"

"Think... at the thoughts?"

Or did Kai still mean the hydroponic unit and the plants? Hopefully that's what she meant.

"No, the, uh, the plants, the plants." The Inkling goes a bit cross-eyed at the thought of thinking at the thoughts. Oww.

"How would that even work, anyway? Wouldn't they get all jumbled up coming out of your ears and all?"

"Leeeet's not think about it."

And now her streaming-thoughts were trying to flow in knots and urgh.

"Let's just focus on putting them in things for later. Maybe it'll stop the next time the pulses come through?"
