Welcome, citizen of Vatheon, to Prank Wars. This pony is about to cause some mischief.]

[ William probably would have stayed in today. Not necessarily because it was April Fool's Day - that thought hadn't actually crossed his mind - but because, why leave his comfortable, quiet flat if there really was no reason to?

Unfortunately, the empty can of coffee in his kitchen cupboard was giving him a very good reason, indeed.

Thus, the stuffy reaper is currently coming out of the closest convenience store, bag of groceries in hand. ]

[Rainbow Dash has a stand of "perfectly normal" sweets laid out. She spies William and waves at him.]

Hey, dude! You mind taking a sample? I'm helping to promote a newly opened sweet shop in Vatheon, but they haven't made much of a name for themselves. They're a bit of a hole in the wall that I kinda stumbled into, so I'm doing them a favor.

[April Fool's? Burgh didn't know if he should do anything or expect anything for that. He just loved watching the colours on the horse in front of him.]

Hello there.

Hey, dude!

[Rainbow Dash grins. Oh, yes, this guy is definitely getting a color treatment. For free, too!]

Do me a favor before we introduce? Can you open this door for me? [She rolls her eyes.] All the doors around Vatheon are, like, way not pony friendly.

Oh, of course. [Burgh nodded and opened the door for her.]

[That's...about when the bucket full of bright red cherry sugarfree Kool Aid drops on to Burgh's head.

How the heck she managed to get the Kool Aid in the bucket in the first place is left to the imagination.]

[Burgh just stood there and winced.]

Uh.....did you do this?

[She grins.]

Yup! It is April Fool's Day, after all. Anyway, I'm Rainbow Dash, nice to meetcha! ...And prank you, too.

[Yet another human (and apparently equestrian) tradition passes by without her notice. As a troll Kanaya is completely unaware of the significance of this date. Today she's in the street in front of her small shop, tending to the flowers. Some are being watered, and other culled with ruthless efficiency. What hijinks are about to befall the strange glowing alien?]

[Now, see, Rainbow Dash likes Kanaya, from the little she'd talked to her when she was last in Vatheon, so she's decided to go with something clever and very smart alecky.

She approaches Kanaya with a tray covered in aluminum foil.]

Hey! Do you wanna brownie? I'm helping to promote one of the sweet shops around Vatheon that just opened up!

[This Kanaya may not have met Rainbow Dash before, but she has encountered a similar little hoofbeast before, so she's not caught entirely off guard when she's suddenly face with a Pony carrying a tray of sweets. Naturally it would be only polite to accept the offer.]

Certainly. Are they from Italy's bakery? I've enjoyed his goods before, but I don't think I've had any of his brownies.

[She removes her gardening gloves to take a sample.]

Nah, it's kind of a hole-in-the-wall place.

[Rainbow Dash places the tray on the ground, lifts up the aluminum foil..........................and pulls out a brown E. She can't help the grin.]

April Fool's! Heheh, I thought I'd get you with something tame for a prank 'cause you helped me out once!

[Well, she's confused for a moment... in a lot of ways... but she ends up smiling with a little chuckle. ]

That's rather clever. I don't recall ever meeting you before though. I must assume that I helped you more than a year ago?

[She nods and puts the E away.]

Yeah. I got turned human once and I kinda needed human clothes. You were the one who helped me with that!

[The pony shrugs.]

I'm Rainbow Dash, Rainbow or Dash for short.

You must have met me the previous time I was in Vatheon. I wasn't allowed to remember that period of time when I arrived here last year.

[She offers a hand in greeting, and looking at Rainbows hooves she suddenly realizes that perhaps a handshake isn't as universal a gesture as she thought it was... but still, the offer has been made, can't go back on it now without looking even more foolish.]

It's a pleasure to meet you again, Miss Dash. If you are ever in a similar predicament you already know I'm willing to help. This is my establishment.

[Kanaya sweeps an arm a the storefront, though with it's huge and obvious sign perhaps it wasn't really necessary.]

Do you mind if I ask though, what's "April fool's" mean?

[She blinks at the sign and grins.]

Oh, yeah, you and Rarity would get along awesomely.

Anyway, April Fool's Day is this day where you prank everyone! And when you do something like that, you say, "April Fool's" so that everyone knows you didn't mean anything personal or whatever by it. Pranksters totally get into a bit of a competition on the best prank for this day.

That's an interesting holiday. We don't have anything like it where I come from.

Is this Rarity in Vatheon? should I perhaps keep an eye out for her?

[Behold the innocent, dopey clown. Gamzee is just shuffling along, heading to... wherever. Wherever his feet wanna go, he's just gonna see it when he gets there, he guesses.

Really. He is the perfect target. And he is a clown. Clowns like jokes, right?]

[Good, because Rainbow Dash is in Ninja Pony Mode. She's carrying an air horn with her, mostly because she can't create a thunder cloud to do the trick. Oh, well. When she's confident that Gamzee hasn't noticed her, she makes her move.

The air horn goes off right behind Gamzee.]

[SWEET MOTHERGRUB OF MERCY.

The sudden loud noise as Gamzee jumping with a ridiculous honk of his own, arms mowing wildly before he loses his balance and tips forward onto his clowny snout.

oh god the vast noise has come for him this is the end.]

[Rainbow Dash is dying over here, trying to smother her laughter and it's failing miserably.]

Fuuuuuck.

[Oh, not to worry, he is not hurt. (or angry). He's just gonna say here and wait for his pump to stop feeling like it is intending to hammer though his ribs.]

[Dirk always takes a ridiculously long time with showers and getting ready in the morning. It's a well-known fact in the Alpha house, that the only chance of getting a good amount of hot water is to get up before him.

Today's routine is kind of interrupted, considering there's a crash and an actual shout from the bathroom.]

What the fuck!

[Dash is chilling out on the couch when she hears the crash and shout. She has to get the giggles out before putting on her best poker face as she goes to "investigate."]

Dirk? You okay up there?

Shit.

[Guess who is looking at his newly blue hair in the mirror? Yeah, this guy. He's not about to open the door.

God dammit why does he live with three tricksters. He can't figure out which one was responsible for this. Or maybe they collaborated on it. Whoever it was, their prankster's gambit must be at an all-time high right now.]

I'm... okay.

[Dirk obviously has a thing for people who are mischievous.

Also unfortunately for him, Rainbow Dash has no problem opening the bathroom door...and entering it.

What privacy?]

Dude! Nice hair! You should dye it blue more often!

[Dirk yelps and reaches for the door as she enters- at least he's got a towel on, but that is not nearly prepared enough for company for his tastes. He doesn't even have his shades on.

And, true to Rainbow Dash's observations, his hair is very, very blue right now. He doesn't look very happy about that.

No, I should not. God damn it.

Aw, but it brings out the color of your eyes so nicely!

[ohgod the giggling that's happening]

That's great, considering no one sees my eyes.

[He's just going to stare at her now.]

I'm really feeling your sympathy here, Dash.

Well, I have, and I say it matches.

[She barely manages to get control of herself.]

Dude, you make it hard to sympathize with the kinda reaction you gave to your hair suddenly being blue. What's so bad about it?

[So says the blue and rainbow pony.]

It's blue.

[He says this like it makes the reason completely obvious.]

What's your point? I'm blue and you don't see me complaining.

That's because you're naturally blue. I'm not, in case it escaped your attention.

[Yeah, he's kind of catching on here.]

Yeah, but you still don't see me complaining about being blue and rainbow, do you?

Once again, your natural state is blue and rainbow.

And I'm still totally not seeing what the big deal is.

[She shrugs.]

Oh, well. You're blue, now!
