It was the most irritating holiday he knew of.

Sure, it was well-intentioned - so many holidays were; just look at Easter! Guy dies a horrible death, and an entire religion is guilty for killing some guy they never met, despite the fact that three days later, he's A-ok! Plus, zombies! Now, Easter was a holiday he could get into.

But this?

He had to admit it was well-intentioned, but there was a reason that the road to Shal-Mari was covered in bricks with pithy statements written on them.

He opened his office and peeked out.

The Casino was full of bumbling idiots, trying harder than ever to be funny - and in the lamest way POSSIBLE - and to get their Prince's attention.

He stepped into full sight. "FORSOOTH," he declared, robes drifting about his ankles, hair wild about his head, quite the impressive figure. "And YEA! For LO, you are offensive to mine eyes!"

Everyone was looking.

Kobal raised a hand and called down a lightning bolt.

He grinned as they fried and screamed, looked smugly over what remained when the burning and the pain stopped. "April Fool's!" he crowed, and returned to his office.

On the other hand, he had to admit, there were times it was just plain fun.
