Now, even while he was stuck in this magic school, Giovanni was the type to keep close track of important days: a trusted LEADER who would rule the whole world one day with their boys should do that, because he’d totally need to make sure those days were still important when he was the big bad ruler of everything! So, today was indeed a exciting day: the one day of the year where he truly shined best more than he already did!
Sadly, with the teachers going about, digging a small pitfall was out of the question, and more students spent time inside anyways. So that was one potential idea out the proverbial window, but a true SUPER VILLAIN didn’t let one little set-back stop him! He had, with the help of Flesh-Render, his dragon, made a little box using cardboard, wrapped oh-so-innocently on a nearby study desk.
Yes, it was the perfect trick! Someone would eventually be nosy, and open the box....upon which the confetti shaped like tiny beetles he’d put inside would, via a little spring attached that would activate when the box was opened - automatically be ejected into the air in a colorful display of surprise and shock!! Nobody would see it coming! That and also, it wasn’t real bugs, so nobody scared of them would have a bad reaction. April Fools was for pranks, but he had STANDARDS as a bad guy to not distress someone with them, OBVIOUSLY!
Also he’d been too noisy to convince any small minion to help him on this, even though he would have poked holes in the box’s lid had he gotten one. They all flew away at his AWESOME vocalisations before he could try - anyway! Thus he hid around the corner to watch and wait, to see the trap go off, though seemed unaware of how obvious he looked about it, especially with his loud snickering...
