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.

[She's too busy crying to note his first few reactions. Why couldn't you remember, Neku? Why? It made no sense! He'd been there as soon as she'd called, been there to give her hugs and tell her it'll be okay in his awkward way, tried to comfort her--]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's another that fell into the trap, going straight up to the sign. Reading and trying to figure out the point of scribbling all over the paper. He's even having trouble finding that small print, but it looks like he's read it. Then as that hand goes down, slowly Shizuo turns his head. The expression is blank, maybe even enough to make the guy look slow.]

Do I know you?

[He should, right? Because otherwise why are you touching him like you're familiar?]
partnered: (11)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
How about a big fat no.
carsharkkonishi: (Ignorance is bliss)

2/3

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then when he grabs her, her dark blue eyes star into his, still glistening with tears, and she's shaking.]

No, Neku, stop, I don't even know what you're talking about--
sockswithsandals: (i'm going to rip you apart)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Changed my mind you get a big fat X buzzer.]

Don't sell yourself short. It was... [waves a hand] adequate. For a scream.
balzams: (Smile ● Anxious)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... W-well let's just get ice-cream first and then see how you feel.

[In the end he picks a direction and decides to take it. As they walk along he tries to subtly worm his way out of her grip]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then there's someone dressed like a bartender looking through one of the other refrigerators.]

Ah... There's not even milk?
carsharkkonishi: (Actions speak louder than words)

DONE.

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[And then at that last sentence her face contorts in anger, and she pushes him off, fists curling into tightly little balls.]

HE SHOULD BE HERE, BUT HE'S NOT, NEKU! AND IT'S ALL THAT STUPID COMPOSER'S FAULT!

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I won't go away until you do.
sockswithsandals: (but how can i horrify someone with this)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is, like, the fourth time today this brilliant plan has completely flopped, so Yotsuya doesn't even bother trying to make his emergency extra creepy face work. He steps back, rolling his eyes with an aggravated sigh.]

No. Nevermind.
partnered: (20)

1/??? i never know

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

[ What the literal hell is going on. ]

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
( no worries, she lets go and runs towards the grocery store that was conviently in that direction.

sadly for him she eats like an animal. )


Yay! What flavour are you getting?
partnered: (90)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Neku stumbles back a half-step as she shoves at him, brow furrowing with confusion. What the hell, seriously. If this game is allowing Rhyme to come here, then why wouldn't it give Beat the same chance...? How is she alive and in one piece while Beat's dead? ]

I --
balzams: (Thoughtful ● Daydreaming)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Breaking into a small jog he catches up with her]

Depends on what flavours they have.
partnered: (36)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
... wait, the Composer? You...

[ He shakes his head, reaching up to rake a hand through his already messy hair. ] What the hell.

[personal profile] cursedprincess 2012-08-11 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm.

Blanche still doesn't like the idea of giving him anything, but he sort of has a point, and anyway, if she humors him now, he might be a valuable ally later.]


I...I guess that's so. [She pretends to look a bit unnerved by it, though.] Alright. I'll give you 5 joypoints, when I get some, if you be my friend. Deal?
partnered: (49)

DONE.

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... but it's obvious that he's not going to be able to work any kind of coherent answer out of her while she's so upset, so... now he has to... figure out how to awkwardly get her calmed down. ]

-- Wait, wait. Just, uh. ... wait a second, take a breath or something.

[Masaomi is wandering the streets much the same, but luckily he's more aware of his surroundings than this girl. He can tell she's lost, not only in thought, and so before any collision can go down, he calls out with more volume than strictly necessary.]

Hmmm~? Is this damsel distressfully lost? Is she lost in my eyes? Can anyone blame her?!
partnered: (77)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... fine, then I'll leave.

[ And with that, he's turning away sharply and trying to stalk off in some random direction. ]

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
( she stops and waits for him. after all he is the one paying. )

Shiro wants chocolate and vanilla and maybe strawberry.
carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tries, but it only breaks into further sobbing as she gugs him tightly, sobbing into his shirt.]

It's...it's all my fault. But I-I'm gonna fix it.
partnered: (83)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Make friends, huh?

... might as well start with his roommates. ]


... it's the scoring system, right? For the game we're supposed to play.
partnered: (86)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WELL AREN'T YOU JUST RUDE. ]

I didn't scream.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're not getting away from him that easily, not when he's walking behind you after picking himself up from off the ground]
plucks: (be friends with me)

[personal profile] plucks 2012-08-11 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[calm down sir.]

What's so good about it? If you think this is a good way to make friends, you're wrong!
