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.

If you keep moving things like you are you'll make it impossible for anyone to find anything!

[She will have to fix everything back up and, oh my god, don't shove the corkscrew in the same cabinet as the blender that needs to go into a drawer!]
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

WOO

[She steps back at the yell, a bit nervous. But as it comes clear that he actually knows her, she smiles only a tiny bit and a spot of tears well up in her eyes. She hugs him tightly, happy that someone she knows is here, and then suddenly backs off, remembering who this is.]

Y-yeah.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[Rhyme smiles a bit wider at the warmth, holding the girl's hand softly.]

Well...is there anything you like to do?
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[What? They're both spinny things, aren't they--loosen up, girl.]

You're probably the first person who's been in here.

[There's dust on the shelves of these cabinets, he's run a finger through experimentally already. The appliances look like they haven't been moved since they were put in, and certainly not by a ton of people--there is a considerable amount, he counted rooms and looked up the staircase, and while his estimate is probably too much, he heard enough voices to assess that there are more people who haven't been through the kitchen than the alternative.

This is very important, you see:]


If I change the original position before anyone knows it was there, the origin doesn't matter.

[ He's still not really used to... being hugged, but...

Wow, he's so relieved so see someone from back home that he doesn't even think twice about returning the hug when she wraps her arms around him. -- But then she's suddenly pulling away, and he's just as quick to release her and let her step back. ]
It's -- um...

[ He shifts a little, awkward. ] ... it's really good to see you.

[The creepiness registers, the Something Off is quite clear- but Yotsuya is either too distracted or just doesn't care, from the way his features retain their deep set irritation. He wants plot, he wants situations to play out the way they should play out, even for something as simple (and, admittedly, fruitless) as this. It's been a stressful day. This is supposed to be relaxing.

For him, anyway. Now he's tensed, and staring dully at the kid, and trying not to be too offended about how he doesn't care about plot.

The laugh makes his whole face twitch, a sort of one-second grimace. He holds up fingers as he counts off his next points:]


Some situations aren't yours to control. Passive-aggression has nothing to do with this. Do you like horror stories?

... does that mean Beat's here, too?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if you be my friieennnnd!
sockswithsandals: (about. pigeons.)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[That is a beautiful assessment but I'm afraid One Pigeon is still ugly.

Yotsuya lifts his rolled magazine again, but this time instead of thinking about swatting people with it, he waves it in front of Bami's... wherever he's looking, these turns are getting terrible.]


Not for me. Maybe for you.

[ A situation that he thought couldn't get any weirder is now getting weirder. ]

... for what. Reading your stupid note?

[She's happily surprised when he returns the hug--she'd never thought he'd do that, given it's Neku. She wipes the tears from her eyes and smiles.]

You too--
guielliotine: (//COME AT ME BRO)

NOT READY FOR FEELS... [1/2]

[For the second time today, Elliot found himself on the ground. This time however, instead of it being the floor of the room, it was in the pit of sand the swings were situated in. A thud and yell later Elliot was up on his feet, ready to punch whoever just pushed him off the swing square in the face.]

WHAT THE HELL-?!

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Rrrgh, what the hell kind of question is that ?!

[Oh no. Oh no. Why would he ask that? He was there. He and Shiki were there. She holds back a sob, but her eyes start welling up with large tears, and her hands ball up into little fists.]

Y-you don't remember? Beat--My brother's....[And she starts crying.]

He's dead, Neku.
sockswithsandals: (yes you like horror we know)

titters demurely

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like a cue to hold his arms up wide and smile with too many teeth.]

No! For your excellent scream!

[Okay to be honest it was a bit of a lame scream, kind of like a very startled duck. But he's being polite.]

[But then the fist he was about to swing was held mid air as he just stared at the person who had pushed him off the swing. Fist fell back to his side as he took a staggered step back. No, it couldn't be.

Leo was dead Mother had killed him.

Hadn't she?]


...Leo?

[ Oh no, what. Neku flusters, obviously at a loss for words --

Oh damn, he's not so much of an asshole that he'd ever want to make Rhyme cry. ]
partnered: (97)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

[ But then he actually processes what she says, and --

Oh. Oh, what. ]
Wha --?
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, what're you talking about?

[ And he grabs onto her shoulders, stooping a little so that they're at eye level. ] I -- How's that possible?
partnered: (50)

DONE.

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're here, then Beat should be too, right...? Right?

[ WOW NEKU YOU'RE NOT... HELPING... ]

[ who made you the simon cowell of screaming. >:( ]

... what.
partnered: (22)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, well. Obviously, it's time to focus on the important matters. ]

-- I didn't scream. It was more like a... yelp.
