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.

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

[worstvikingever]

Pranks? You'd say these are pranks?

[techno_mancer]

Well, in Mayfield's over-the-top, sick, mind-screw sorta way. Normally they ain't anythin' this harmful.

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup lets out a deep breath.]

I'm sorry, I just... I really wish that all that happened for something other than a giant joke that isn't even funny.

[bluefrompallet]

Seems so, huh? Completely normal.

[ Blue is so angry right now. Can she take it out on you, Hiccup? ]

[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.]

[bluefrompallet]

Abusing my birds in some twisted moron's idea of a fun practical joke.

Very funny and normal.

Haha. [ So grouchy over here, she won't even hide it. ]

[worstvikingever]

It sucks. I know.

I'm sorry.

[alexanderofny]

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]

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.

[idkmybfforin]

[This may be delightfully awkward!]

...a...joke?

[You can practically hear the gears turning in her head.]

[worstvikingever]

[Probably!]

Yeah. A terrible one.

[towertrapped]

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?

[towertrapped]

There's a day for that? [ Huh. ]

I guess that would make it a prank, since it wasn't particularly funny...

[worstvikingever]

Either way it sucks big time.
