April Fool's

(goodness me, the backroom's busy today)

That happy time of year known as April Fool’s is almost upon us once again! As anyone who’s been here long enough will know, it’s an excuse for a whole lot of crack and manic laughter- on the muns’ parts, if not the pups’.

In honour of such a special occasion, Hallia and myself, the resident crackmonkeys, have been given permission to unleash a special slice of crackplot on the Bar.

Like so:

A long time ago, when ‘ways was still new and shiny, Anthy cooked up some Very Special Curry * that left people swapping bodies left right and centre. Thankfully, the effects were not permanent, and the strange events were all but forgotten… including a few mysteriously unlabelled tubs left lurking in the back of a kitchen cupboard that are set to reappear the weekend before April Fool’s.

*You can read all about it here and here

A few things are going to be different from the original body-swapping events:

1. Rather than trading pup journals, we’re just going to be trading icons. It’s tidier, easier, and not everyone is going to be comfortable giving out pup passwords.

2. Instead of the curry’s effects lasting just the night, they’re going to be the whole weekend. After all, cursed curry is only going to mature with age, right?

With that in mind, here’s the timetable of events:

Friday 30th March, the curry appears. Unsuspecting pups eat it, and go to bed.
Saturday 31st March, unsuspecting pups wake up in strange bodies. Cue panic.
Sunday 1st April, unsuspecting pups are still in strange bodies. Cue more panic/hysteria/bonding, or whatever.
Monday 2nd April, unsuspecting pups wake up in the right bodies, and sigh with relief.

Interested?

1. Leave a comment here with whatever pups you’re willing to subject to the torment, and your name/alias (so we can be sure not to pair you up with one of you own pups).

2. Madly encourage everyone and their dog to join in too. The more people taking part, the more fun it’ll be!

3. We’ll link back here every so often, to remind/encourage/give people who weren’t here a chance to get in on the action.

4. Hallia, who knows about these things, will use randomizer.org to compile a list of randomly paired pups.

5. The list will be posted a few days Sunday 25th March before the fun begins, giving you all a chance to flail/laugh/contact muns, and plot your proverbial socks off.

REMEMBER, these are other people’s pups you are going to be taking advantage of. Standard godmodding rules apply. No getting your body-swap a nipple-piercing or flaming cowboy hat tattoo without clearing it with the mun beforehand.

REMEMBER2, this is not in the least compulsory. If you’d rather have your pup appear in a random costume than in someone else’s body, don’t feel you have to join in.

flaming cowboy hat tattoo

You know, if Erin finds this, she may get mad at you for stealing her tattoo (not that it's a very nice looking one, but still).

Also, Artie has prior experience with bodyswapping insanity, so he can act as a consultant.

Just a suggestion: Could we possibly get more than "a few days" of advance notice of who we're swapping with? More plotting time means potentially better crack, I'd say.

If I weren't brewing up some April Fool's crack for this one, I'd so sign up!

Sweet sodomite Jesus. I'm definitely in.

Chase ([profile] _righthandman_), Sayid ([profile] captain_falafel), Adam ([profile] teh_data_fork) and Hodges ([profile] fugitivehamster) are all up for the plot.

I'd love to throw in Ben and Milo too, but Ben's body isn't in very good shape at the moment, and Milo's too new. (Although who wouldn't want to have Eric Balfour's body for a day? *grin*)
