Good morning, Cadelle!
As March takes its final bow to make way for April, we're sure you're without a doubt wondering with bated breath if the city will somehow experience another deluge from the skies above or some other kind of natural disaster. After all, there's probably a number of you familiar with the concept of April showers, right? Despite the predictability that the first of the month tends to bring, the sun rises on a new month without much fanfare at all. The skies don't open up, the earth doesn't quake, and perhaps most disappointing of all, there's no fun activities to partake in hosted by the city's beloved Volunteer Coordinators, Flora and Cornelius.
However, that’s not to say nothing exciting has happened. Mayor Drake’s gone missing — in reality, she’s simply headed south of the border for a little much-needed R&R — and while the mayor’s away, the cats will play. (Or is that the other way around?)
As the sun begins to rise, it’s clear that there’s certainly something in the air. Check your CuddlePhone, and you might notice a strange crackling sound, as if you’d wandered into a field of static electricity; try to access anything but the city’s main pages and you’ll be greeted with a cheerful yellow message. Strange, but it may be worth reading:
DEAR CITIZENRY:
It has come to our attention that the city of Cadelle has begun a dangerous descent into a dungeon of disaster. Debauchery, drag racing, and even drunken revelry have begun to pervade our once-wholesome city, turning our citizenry into a class of common courtesans and charlatans! We shall not settle for such shameful social airs! Resist raunchy recklessness, Cadellians, or be redressed!
— CCC
The Concerned Citizens of Cadelle
While there’s admittedly quite a lot of alliteration to be found in said message, there’s not exactly a lot of meaning here. Should you head to City Hall for answers, you’ll find yourself greeted by the ever cheerful, smiling face of Doris Delatante — conveniently enough, the same Doris who so happens to be wearing a pin emblazoned with the logo of the CCC. (For the curious, said logo is a cat. They may be wordsy, but no one said they were particularly clever.)
You won’t get much in the way of answers out of Doris, only calm reassurances that everything is as it should be. It’s fine, of course! What could possibly be wrong with a little call to action? It’s only in the best interest of the city, isn’t it?
Whatever the reason, and whatever you think about Doris’ strange all-pink attire, it’s hardly the strangest thing you’ll experience in the coming days. Over the course of the following 24 hours, the city and its inhabitants begin to find themselves… well, shall we say, adjusted?
▸ As soon as the sun comes up on the morning of the first, a gentle breeze begins to blow through the city. With it comes a subtle change. You may notice it straight away, or you may not notice at all… but regardless, the change still comes: no swearing. No, really, we mean it. No matter how fervently or desperately you try, anything more colorful than a golly won’t slip past your lips… or your pen tips, for that matter. Any attempts to do so will result in comically ridiculous substitutions — like bullshirt, motherforker, or fish sticks!
▸ By mid-morning, the rays of the sun have left the city in perpetual spring warmth. It’s a beautiful day, complete with merrily chirping birds and the sweet smell of flowers blooming in every corner of the city. The day should stay beautiful, shouldn’t it? So perhaps it’s with no surprise that even your naked body won’t disparage it… as nudity, even seemingly innocuous moments like showering, is met with censorship. Should you disrobe to your birthday suit, you’ll be met with sudden and efficient pixelization from the neck down, blurring out all those distasteful parts of you a la the Sims. This might make getting frisky a bit difficult…
▸ Finally, by the time your first meal of the day rolls around, you might find yourself ready for a hot meal on the go, or perhaps just another cup of coffee. No matter whether you stop at your usual joint or wander around looking for something new, every delicious delectable food item you’ve been enjoying will have been replaced by the gently spinning faces of self-serve froyo machines. Shops look normal on the outside… but inside, you’ll be greeted with the florescent glow of your favorite (or perhaps least favorite ) trendy frozen yogurt shop. Come in for coffee and you might be irritated yet amused, but the flavors don’t stop at cheesecake or chocolate or caffe mocha. Nope! Keep exploring, and you’ll be greeted with such strange offerings as pasta flavored froyo, complete with marinara or alfredo flavored cookie crumbles, or bacon and eggs froyo with sausage sprinkles … or, for the desperate, beer flavored froyo. (Bar nuts cost extra… and yes, that froyo’s a virgin. Alcohol would ruin the consistency!)
It’s not the worst thing in the world, but it certainly doesn’t feel like you’re in the Cadelle you’ve come to know and love, does it? Hopefully Mayor Drake will come back sooner rather than later, but until then… well, we suppose you’ll just have to make the best of this Good Place!
Isn’t this sweet? April Fool’s, Cuddlers! We hope you enjoy this particularly silly spring event, brought to you by a meddling citizen and her penchant for good behavior… and your mod team’s recent bingewatch of a topical NBC comedy. We hope you’ll have fun ruining the bad behavior of your characters, even if they won’t have much fun with it!
If you have any further questions specific to this event, we encourage you to ask away on our QUESTIONS COMMENT here in this post. If you have general questions, or prefer a more private venue, our GENERAL INBOX (and SCREENED INBOX) is always available for you. In addition, if you've got an idea for a future event, feel free to drop us a line at our EVENTS SUGGESTION POST.
Have fun out there, and just remember: be excellent to each other! |

Dr Heywood
so, question. Is it just me because the city is mad about my wish last time that ended in mostly public indecency, but. I was getting undressed this morning to take a shower and realized that. I don't know, I'm pixelated? My... private parts.
IS IT JUST ME??? Am I being punished???
if it's not just me, would someone volunteer for a sketching session? I'd like to record this
b. C.R.E.A.M.
[ It's solidly past 1 am, and yet if you were to walk past the library, you would not only find light streaming from under the door, but you'd also find said door open, like it's standard for a library to be open in the middle of the night.
If the library is look after by one Nate Heywood, well. It tends to be quite a common thing. But the light, and the open doors, they're only one thing. The other is the music, loud, pulsing through the building, heavy bass and rapid-fire lyrics, one of these old school rap songs. If you're into it, you might recognize N.W.A. ]
Order, order, order
Ice Cube, take the mothernugget stand
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth
And nothin but the truth so help your black donkey?
You god love right!
[ Listening intently, boots tapping on the floor and head moving with the beat, is Nate. He's holding a few books in his hands, sliding from one shelf to another, placing them back. He's not singing along, because there's a small notebook clamped between his teeth, that he takes out whenever what he knows is a swear word in the song is replaced by something else.
He may be dancing, a little. As much as one can dance to rap, of course. ]
Well won't you tell everybody what the nugget you gotta say?
Nugget the police comin' straight from the underground
A young gentleman got it bad 'cause I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Nugget that shit, 'cause I ain't the one
For a punk mothernugget with a badge and a gun
To be beatin' on, and thrown in jail
We can go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
Nuggetin' with me cause I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin' my car, lookin' for the product
Thinkin' every gentleman is sellin' narcotics
[ Yeah. Nate is definitely dancing. ]

She follows it to it's source, and when she sees who it is, she can't help but smile at the sight. She doesn't know if it's possible to miss someone without even knowing they were there? Because she's pretty sure Nate was one of those people.]
I don't think that's how it goes.

[Got another idea? Go for it or hit me up!]
Bullshorts
The signage at Bespoke was hard to miss and while there wasn't exactly a spring in Frank's step, the dark rings around his eyes were a lot less pronounced than the last time they met.
He can hear the voices and the footsteps out back, but he stays obediently in the confines of the shop floor, looking around nosily at the various concoctions and other weird shish kebabs.

When she doesn't immediately spot anyone she knocks on the table nearest to the door as loud as she dares before wincing. She considers calling out, but her head might explode, so she's going to wander over to a mannequin displaying a really soft-looking blouse while she's there, because it's just begging to be touched.

what the fork
It had taken everything in Thor not to start destroying the place either by throwing furniture, or sending down bolts of lightening. It was one thing to hide his genitals. It was quite another to deny him his favourite food.
He was glowering at a froyo (honestly, what a ridiculous word) machine when he spotted Magnus, his mood shifting a few inches even if his displeasure was as obvious as his friend's.
"I fear this city has finally gone too far, M."

Which is how she ends up in front of Bespoke, this time, the store open and busy. She doesn't hesitate to walk in after seeing the sign, going straight to the counter, interested, a thousand questions on the tip of her tongue. The man on the other side of the counter is wearing more eyeliner than she is, and he looks pissed. She can't help but smile.
"You're the owner? I'm Claire, I work at the hospital. I've been going around, offering help and kits around to interested parties - vitamins, IV drips, this kind of stuff. Think we can work together?"

Safe Search: On.

Oedipus
Then his better judgement took over. Who knew what the Deviant would become should his brother seize ownership.
Given the most recent turn of events in the city, Thor was disheartened by the turn out at the club. No alcohol was available to serve. The crowd didn't have the usual energy. He himself was trying not to dwell on the fact that pixelated genitals was even a thing. He quite enjoyed being naked. He enjoyed looking at particular people in the city naked.
He did not appreciate that particular form of censorship.
But as always, even when she was clothed, Isabelle was beyond beautiful, and he cracked a smile when he saw the familiar face approaching. "Lady Isabelle, welcome."

Frank Castle | OTA
"Flying bag of chicken sucking wrenches," or something like that is what fell from his lips. With a defeated sigh, he makes his way out of the building and to the city hall.
"I'm considering staging a revolution," the marine remarks dryly to the shadow on the cobblestone approaching next to him without taking his eyes off the garish pink display.
50/50
The answer is soft, amused. Claire comes up to Frank's level, looking up at their building ahead.
"Think you might want to ride this one out, Frank."

It makes up for the fact that he can't swear in English or Spanish, which is pretty much how he gets through any day, so he'll take what he can get.
"I've got two hands and three guns, you name the place," he says, not entirely sure if he's just joking.

gamora | mcu | ota
[ The pixelation had been beyond disconcerting. Just when Gamora was beginning to feel comfortable in her own clothes and somewhat safe from the city, a widespread censorship began to occur. It was true that she had stood in front of the mirror for unnatural amount of time and made herself late for work.
It was even true that she had almost come close to cursing when the coffee shop no longer sold coffee, but Gamora wasn't someone that did curse. Frozen yoghurt? Throughout her culinary discoveries she had yet to indulge, and she wasn't sure she wanted to. Not at this time of day.
But it still didn't occur to her that if Deja Brew was no longer a coffee shop then every restaurant would no longer sell their delicious food. Not until it was dinner time and she stood helplessly in what had once been her favourite Thai restaurant. It was the first food she had tried with Magnus and a place she returned again and again. ]
Who do I need to hurt?
[ Not that she could. But threatening violence was still more natural to her than cursing. ]
two.
[ The change in cursing was not something Gamora had immediately noticed. Terrans were strange. They had funny expressions, and ways of expressing their emotions, so she first just assumed there was some kind of new fad sweeping the city. A change in slang that she would need to embrace.
It wasn't until she began playing Nine Inch Nails while at work that she realised the change. 'Closer' just didn't seem as explicit as it used to. Not that she should have really been playing it for the customers, but the shop had been empty and she was taking advantage of being able to play the music louder than usual.
Something loud and angry also seemed to fit her mood when it came to her opinion on not being able to eat food she had become more than a little fond of. ]
wildcard.
[ find gamora where you wish, though seeing her naked could take a little persuasion even with the pixelation ;) ]
one.
He'd discovered the pixelation soon after his brother, and they'd had a discussion about it in their usual method of shouting through the wall, which sounds more alarming than it generally is, and then he'd gone out and learned his usual coffee place wasn't serving lattes that morning. All of the restaurants have changed, and Loki was just beginning to think about murder himself when he happens upon one of his favorite people in the city, talking about the same thing.]
And you weren't going to invite me?

It does not sit well with him.
He goes for a walk. It's such a mundane thing to do, but he had occasionally gone for long walks alone in the forest on Asgard when he'd needed time away from
Thoreverything. He's been walking for only about twenty minutes when he hears the sounds of destruction coming from up ahead and picks up his pace, only to pause and lean against a tree when he discovers the cause."Have the trees offended you personally, or are you simply making sure they know proper fear?"

Did we like get put in a censored video game or something? This can't be right. I can't even say...firetruck. Not that I say firetruck a lot but I stubbed my toe and I really wanted to say firetruck.
FIRETRUCK!
Come on, this is ridiculous. Please tell me it's not just flipping me.
b. out and about -
Waverly is used to the strange happenings of Cadelle City by now, but this is a new one. She doesn't even know what to make of it. She's showered and all her lady bits were...censored. She didn't know what that was about.
She's out in town and she's realizing people are experiencing things too. At least it's not just her. That makes her feel a little better.
She's in dismay as she hears people trying to curse. Cadelle has really gone crazy now.
c. wildcard - want Waverly for something else? Hit me up and we'll work something out.
