OPENING LOG.

Characters: Everyone!
Date: August 11th
Rating/Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Mark anything that qualifies a warning in your subject line!
Summary: Arrivals.
You want happiness. A company called RECOVERjoy has offered it to you, so you've signed up with them. Gaining happiness can't hurt, right?

Suddenly you're in a room, an apartment, with three other beds and unfamiliar faces. This is your assigned room, and it's quite crowded. You don't get much of a chance to think as your phone beeps--it's not your phone, maybe you've never had a phone, but there's one in your hand so you check it. It's a smart phone, nothing special about it, but now you've received a text from RECOVERjoy.

Welcome to Joywick! We're so happy to have you!

You've arrived in your assigned room, we hope you like it! Don't worry, you can move out once you've collected enough joypoints. Speaking of, if you'd like to check your balance, there's a special application that tracks it for you right on your phone! Handy, right?

... Did you check? If you did, you'll notice you have no joypoints. But don't despair! We're giving you a special mission. Make three (3) friends and get 200 joypoints! Gee, that's easy! Of course, we can't put a level on something like friendship, so just get to know people. Don't miss out on these easy points! We'll give you more information about joypoints once you're done.

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


You're in this for 1 million joypoints, aren't you? Might as well get started.

(AFTER THE MISSION HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED OR ONCE 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED)

You receive another text from RECOVERjoy.

Great job on the mission! Or not so great job for those who didn't do it. : (

Well, you probably want more joypoints either way. Here's how! Look for another person. I bet they look fairly happy, right? Why are they happier than you? Because they've got the joypoints you need! The only way to get those joypoints is to steal theirs. How? Take their happiness away. It's easy! Maybe a rumor here, an injury there... but if you want the big points, be creative!
You want to be happy, don't you?

Wishing you happiness,
RECOVERjoy : )


... Not quite what you expected when you signed up. You can't leave, though, you still owe RECOVERjoy 500 joypoints and, well, you came here for a reason.

Then let Shiro keep the jacket! So she can sleep in it.

( she begins to reach into his shirt. )

Where are the sweets? Come out!

[There was something about both these guys' reactions made Shizuo kinda glad he didn't actually use personal information. All three things most people that knew him before the Collection days would have known, among other things that didn't actually mean much to him.

[But really, a part of him might want to punch you a bit, Joshua. It's not much of anything compared to how easily he reacted to things, but that hasn't happened at all so far.]

You're both right, actually...

[Taking the sunglasses off to pocket before searching for cigarettes. Still in the same pocket? We'll see!]

Seemed too troublesome to come up with fake things that didn't happen. Who's turn is it now?

[WAY TO MISS THE POINT OF JOSHUA'S GAME, SHIZUO.]
minus: (but murder IS magic)

『What makes you think that?』

( No, really. He's interested. It's not as though he's blind to what the project entails, especially if you look below the surface. And, as he said, he must have heard the ruckus from the other apartment. Protecting oneself was tantamount to general survival and adaptability. )

[ Still, his curiosity beats out his irritation. ]

... what's in there that's worth drooling all over the glass for?

[Introduce himself...Right.]

...I'm Elliot Nightray.
outfoxing: (puts dominos on speed dial)

[WELL HERE COMES an unfortunately familiar face!! He's moving to check that poster out almost immediately because 1) Yotsuya's malformed handwriting is identifiable even at a distance after being subjected to it once, 2) this entire set up screams roof hobo to him anyway and 3) he's pretty bored already whoops.

But is he actually going to be able to approach the poster without any incident...]

[He grins and folds his arms behind his head.]

I'm Rin! That wasn't so hard, huh?

[ Neku yelps with surprise, almost tripping on his own feet and falling flat on his ass as he stumbles back a few steps. ]
plucks: (you must be joking)

[Mary gives a short yelp when she feels something grab her, any other noise choked by the fear of whatever ghost or creature might be behind her.

Her shoulders shrink into themselves just like the rest of her would like to do. She doesn't dare move, staring at the man behind her with horrified surprise.

Eventually she yanks away and defensively, childishly seethes at him. She stomps her foot because what the heck.]


That really scared me, you know!
sockswithsandals: (that's ok right)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[It's almost as bad as the kid in the library who wouldn't shut up about manga. Why hasn't the lobby proven itself a safe haven...

Yotsuya has already lost interest in--something about girls? as now he's disappointed that this place is attracting people who are much too weird. Pot, kettle, the point being: he has already taken a step back from the kid, pinching the bridge of his nose and trying to ignore his babbling.

It is difficult.]


Stop! Stop it, stop talking. You ruined the whole atmosphere, I can't believe this... [no this literally NEVER HAPPENS WHY AREN'T YOU A SCREAMING SCHOOLGIRL?? he's half turned away, muttering to himself, before he feels like he should add, just to clarify--]

I'm not trying to make friends.
minus: (something's off)

『I don't know what you mean. I'm not funny at all, just rude!』

( ........ he says it as though there is absolutely nothing wrong with being rude. there's no pride in it either, he's not the sort to understand, nor possess any feelings akin to 'pride'. he's just stating facts, if anything. )

『Maybe you're just the sort of character who attracts people like me?』
outfoxing: (this place is full of weirdos!)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-11 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[The smile has his own brightening in turn, and he shifts his attention away from the building fully now.]

Right? It's like a food chain that touts a secret recipe! If they gave it away to just anyone, no one would come to their restaurant anymore because people could just replicate it on their own. [Except with a bit more government conspiracy and a lot more at stake but details.]
partnered: (82)

OK DONE.

. . .

[ But once he's obvious that this guy isn't some kind of weird new threat ( and that Neku just made a giant ass of himself for nothing ), the teenager... reaches up to tug his headphones off his ears, trying to cover up for the spectacle he just made with irritation. ]

What.
adieuche: (what are you doing showing me no fear)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
You would think.

[He gives the new arrival a wry smile even as his gaze flickers to the racks behind him, taking in the sight of firearms stacked in neat rows with only a slight raising of his brows.]

My roommate, actually. One of them is overly fond of knives and seems to think my body would be an acceptable target for practice.

[ Nods! ]

Um, I wish I could say for certain that it'd be enough but-
minus: (smell the roses)

『What a dumb question! Ha ha ha! It's obvious, when you think about what sort of a shop it is.』

『An ability or two of mine is in there, and I'm trying to figure out how long it will take for me to reclaim them.』
cosmicella: (❝FALLIN' FALLIN' FALLIN'.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-11 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
You won't know until you try! And I think it'd be a shame if everyone's efforts went to waste.

Mm! I don't think anyone here looks like a bad person either...
sockswithsandals: (but how can i horrify someone with this)

y not

[Why doesn't anyone scream? Yotsuya makes it a whole five seconds before he simply deflates, lamely, and lets go of this kid to stick his hands in his pockets and slouch in a miserable fashion.

He looks down at himself, after a long-suffering sigh. What could be wrong with his clothes... The best part: they're toe socks, too.]


... Clothes.
ushishishi: (On Thursdays we wear black)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[This was the right thing to do. The threatening overtones that Bel had with his crouching posture vanish as he leans back a bit, snickering now.]

'shishishi! Bingo~ You're a fast learner. I hope the other thing that lives here learns just as fast.

[Yes Yotsuya is a Thing.]

[Elijah looks almost ready to sag against Meredith, but luckily his words spark the encouragement he needed and had regained in the first place.] You're....Yes, exactly!

[He straightens himself out, and pulls from his suit the phone that seemingly started all of this.]

It would be our luck, having been placed in separate apartments. Which room are you in? [He frowns at the little contraption, but seems...to be navigating it fairly well.]
cosmicella: (❝HEART DIST DRIVE.)

[She might soon notice the sound of laughter nearby, coming from some blond kid a little ways away.

Already this place is looking just as lively as Toshima... just in a completely different way. It's almost kind of... fun!

So he calls out to her!]


Didn't come here to buy food?
sockswithsandals: (stop doing that with your shoulders)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[WHOA ABORT MISSION ABORT there is someone Yotsuya doesn't even want to be pretend friends with on the scene! This actually draws him out of the coat closet! with urgency, to get up in someone's space before his great poster is subjected to

say, llama stickers. Or something.

Yotsuya's going to stand here and fold his arms and just give him that look until he goes away. It's bound to work... it worked before... sort of...]
