Legendary April Fools' Day Pranks in Vampire Society

April 1st: a day where lying is freely permitted. April Fools' Day goes beyond the simple exchange of jokes; it is a day when mega-events unfold, capable of temporarily throwing entire cities into chaos. These meticulously designed pranks, masquerading as real-life emergencies, are recorded every year as new "legendary incidents" and are talked about within the community for a long time.

2019: The Day All City Blood Vending Machines Unified as 'Mint Chocolate'
In the early hours of April Fools' Day, users were thrown into confusion when the menu screens of automated blood vending machines across major cities simultaneously changed to dessert names like 'Mint Chocolate,' 'Caramel,' and 'Strawberry Latte.' The situation was resolved a few hours later when the management company clarified that it was merely an April Fools' test screen. However, the incident has since spread like a meme, famously dubbed the "Mint Choco Blood Crisis."

2020: The 'Blood Tree' Uproar Created by a Broadcasting Station
A broadcasting station caused a massive stir by releasing a report claiming, "A rare plant has been discovered that produces blood components instead of sap under special climatic conditions." The uproar concluded as a mere prank the next day when the station revealed it was an April Fools' Day special video, but it remains a prime example long remembered as the "Blood Tree Incident."

2022: The Unidentified Giant Coffin Floating Above Seoul
On the eve of April Fools' Day, a commotion erupted as eyewitness accounts spread of a massive, coffin-shaped object floating in the night sky over the outskirts of Seoul. As reports from drivers poured in, police and fire authorities were dispatched to the scene. Meanwhile, speculation spread wildly online that "a flight capsule for transporting high-ranking vampires is crashing." Upon investigation, the object turned out to be a large hot air balloon launched by a company for an April Fools' event. The situation ended with a collective sigh of relief when the phrase "APRIL FOOL" lit up brightly upon its landing.

2025: "Could My Dog Be..." The Vampire Dog Commotion
The National Institute of Vampire Genetics drew massive attention when it released a video announcing that vampire genetic traits had been identified in small pet dogs. The dog in the video, featuring distinctively elongated fangs, became an instant hot topic. Some anxious pet owners even shared photos of their own dogs, asking, "Could this apply to mine too?" The institute later revealed it was an April Fools' campaign, and the happening was forever immortalized as the "Vampire Dog Incident."

The large-scale April Fools' pranks that appear year after year have now firmly established themselves as an annual culture within vampire society. Perhaps driven by the formula that "the larger the scale, the longer it is remembered," more elaborate and massive pranks emerge every year, continually heightening expectations for the next April Fools' Day.
