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.

I don't know if I'm really feeling up to swinging...[She hops off the sawing.]

I should let someone else use it..
balzams: (Uneasy ● Bad feeling)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It really depends how much...

[Browsing through the prices it finally hits him that everything is marked in joypoints. Currently his total is at zero. Less than zero in fact! There's still the debt he needs to pay back. All Latvia had were Lats and Euros]

Maybe it's a bit expensive...

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turned to the left, he turned to the right. He even looked up towards the sky and down on the ground to see no one nearby. It's just them in an otherwise empty park]

But no one else is here.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-11 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stops, turning to put a hand on the chain of the swing. She looks like she's reconsidering.]

But someone might come..

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, it feels like he should be irritated from this. Not quite to the point where he really would be noticeably annoyed, but there's the inkling. It was enough to make the otherwise dull/slow seeming 'bartender' to have a rather icy tone to his voice.]

So you just make it a habit of grabbing strangers' shoulders? Did you know that there was a .0045% chance of scaring someone to death by grabbing them from behind?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll give them a turn if they show up, okay? Now come on, Let's swing!

[He continues on with his swinging while waiting for Rhyme to join in. It's only a matter of time, right?]
binaries: (talk about a butterface.)

(skipping questions this round for the sake of jumping in. will play next round.)

[personal profile] binaries 2012-08-11 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shouichi's been a bit zoned out, so to speak; busy fiddling with the phone he's apparently been issued. can he take out the battery? sim card? can he jailbreak the thing? what type of network did it function on??? so far the answer to these questions remained inconclusive. for looking so average this device was seemingly impenetrable. he's just about to start knocking it against the wall when he realizes that the other people in the room are actually having some sort of organized conversation. (???)

while he didn't jump for joy at the prospect of social interaction, given the situation, he ought to at least say hello. ]


Oh, uh. Sorry... [ he manages a small wave before adjusting his glasses. ]
sockswithsandals: (i work out)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, no.

[In that order. The tone is noted and promptly ignored, as he's stopped to look away and think about that statistic. Is that real? He's done much worse to people in the realm of scaring them and no one's died on him yet, would a simple touch from behind really do that... even if it is so low a probability...]

Where did you hear that?

[The words entirely unexpected, Rin laughs, quickly lowering his camera.

He turns around to face the boy, a wide grin on his face.]


Jeez, whatever it is, I dunno if this was such a good color to pick. It's pretty tacky.

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we should steal it!

( she'll understand if he tells her that he has no points. she still needs to make one more friend. )

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adjusting the sunglasses (yeah, he's wearing them inside,) Shizuo doesn't seem to notice what could be going through the guy's mind.]

Tch. Does it matter where I heard it from?

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The toy thing said Shiro needs friends but Shiro only has two....Will you be Shiro's new friend?
balzams: (Scared ● Tremble)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No! No, we can't do that!

[Not wanting any sort of situation to start he thinks quickly]

I don't have any points to pay for anything but I did bring some snacks with me. I know it's not ice-cream but will that do instead?

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay that's fine!

( and she runs out the store dragging him along. )

Let's go! go! go!! Shiro thinks you might be her new best friend!
sockswithsandals: (you got peanut butter in my chocolate)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[That earns him a brief disbelieving look.]

Of course it does. It might not be true.
balzams: (Uneasy ● Worried)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Aa-h!

[Latvia stumbles out after her, still trying to escape her grasp]

Th-they're back at my room! Do you know where the apartment block is?

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

( she stops then falls to the ground. she looks up at the sky and points up to the sky. )

Is it up there?

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-11 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
If it wasn't true, I wouldn't be saying it.

[No, if you didn't believe it, you wouldn't be saying it. That's totally different.]
balzams: (Smile ● Alright)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
N... Not exactly. Actually I'm on the bottom floor.

I think I can find my way back though. If there's a map somewhere it'll be easy. Don't worry about it, just follow me.

[At a few paces distance of course]

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
( she slinks back up and stands behind him. )

Let's go then. Shiro is starving.
gatto: (pic#4370517)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-11 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses, not exactly having been expecting that question. Still, he smiles again and nods. It'd be in their benefit, after all.]

Sure! We both need to be making friends now, eh?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (so let me tell you a story)

okok!! also 1/2

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-11 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

[ ALL OF YOU LOSERS ARE PLAYING THIS GAME WRONG!!!

not that he can really tell with Marx yet, but... well, Glasses over there is busy painting the perfect picture of what a NEET's life looks like, and apparently Bartender scales up buildings and holds a job as easily as he might hold water with a closed fist.

and given the facts getting passed around, Joshua can't exactly tell if they're all just really good liars or if they're just being boring on purpose.

but first he turns to Shouichi, laughs, and waves the comment off, at least pretending that everything's good in the hood and all of the answers they're getting aren't FUBAR.
]

Oh, no need to apologize, stranger! I understand that singlehandedly destroying a phone takes both focus and single-minded dedication.
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (these keywords make no sense)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-11 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... but anyway, he turns back to Marx, brows knitting and

hmmmm....

... yeah, he's starting to figure his roomies aren't exactly your average group of "normals."
]

Gosh, it's hard to tell if you're all just really good liars or just really terrible ones.
sockswithsandals: (no this teacher is so dull.....)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that true?

[Everyone lies, bro. Even if they aren't trying to.]
balzams: (Thoughtful ● Serious)

[personal profile] balzams 2012-08-11 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[After a bit of wandering Latvia finally starts to get his bearings and manages to navigate back to the building he started in. It takes a while but not too long. Making their way down the hall they eventually come to a door marked '104']

If there are other people inside, don't disturb them too much, okay?
