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.

[Even if some of the same steps as expected occurred, Mammon didn't need to lean in to make out the letters on that one bolded line.

So someone was taking that sort of approach, were they? Interesting.

He'd been about to turn and walk away when he felt the hand on his shoulder, and a shiver ran up along his back at someone grabbing onto him.

Did they not know what personal space was?

There's an annoyed glance sent the culprit's way from underneath his hood - hopefully the stranger can feel that.]

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-12 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? I don't usually take pictures of myself...

[Still, he shrugs and quickly turns the camera around, smiling brightly. He's got this, Kida!!] I'll take it now!

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-12 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[The mumbling doesn't seem to bother him, though. At this point, he might be thinking something similar. Still, nothing in the fridge, so time to just shut the door.]

Heiwajima Shizuo. Thanks... you too, I guess. Good luck.

[Says someone not used to being told 'good luck'. This is how it's done, right?]
mellowyellow: (i'm yours)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
One, two, three- [But instead of "cheese," he waves his arms in a chopping motion toward Rin.] Flinch!

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-12 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Oh. He guesses that this guy is trying to turn him around or something.]

Does it really matter? I'm sure of what I said.
gatto: (pic#4370517)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-12 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, and it's even better when they're real persistent, eh?
gatto: (pic#4499209)

1/2 or something...!

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-12 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't quite flinch, but he stops and lowers his arm. For a moment, he only stares, completely still, not a hint of his usual smile.]
partnered: (51)

[ Oh God, did he make it worse? Oh God.

Quick, Neku, say something comforting --!! ]


... at least we don't have to share beds? [ ... lamely, like he's not really sure that helps things. ]

[--Then, nearly instantly, he's back into motion, his usual animated self.]

Ehhh? You really surprised me! That's rude! The picture's probably all blurry now!
varmint: (≺ between hate and love)

[Elijah doesn't respond to the question right away because now he's thinking about Japan.] Japan...that is...

...very far away. [wow. For whatever reason he says this kind of GRAVELY, and drags out his cigarette a bit more. Yes, things are going to be much different here.] As for me...Australia. In Melbourne.

Haha, I know when to push and when I am simply being nosy. Unless you prefer not to, you're free to ask whatever comes to mind as well!
iwagmyhair: (frozen in the headlights)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-12 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[On one hand, that is something she's thankful for now that it comes to mind. On the other!]

Why would you even think about that in the first place?! [neku, are you a pervert] Girls and boys shouldn't have to share rooms anyway, it's really awful!
ushishishi: (aww bb please calm your tits)

;n;

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-12 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Ushishishishi~!

[He couldn't care less if anyone saw right now. The important thing was Mammon was back, and he was Bel's again.]

[Resting his head on top of Mammon's and even nuzzling into it a little, Bel didn't release his grip in the slightest. If anything, it tightened. Maybe if he kept him close, this time he wouldn't leave.]


Ah, ah, that's so cold for a reunion, Mammon~

[He sounds so oddly happy.]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay then, we're friends!

[So far so good. Just a few more to befriend and he'll have those joypoints.]

I'm Marx. What's your name?
plucks: (all of my friends)

[personal profile] plucks 2012-08-12 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Yeah, we can do a lot of things like...

Color! Do you like to color? Play with dolls?

[personal profile] plucks 2012-08-12 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Weirdo! [are you prepared to face the relentless judgement of a child....]

What is even the point of wanting screams? It's dumb!

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Very happy.

[With that out of the way, he can spend the rest of his time making a few more friends to meet the requirements for the mission. He'll deal with Neku another time, since he now knows the one thing that can be used against him later on]

Now I'll keep my end of the bargain. See you in a week, frriieenndd!

[And a happy Bel is a frightening one. Slightly. There's lots of awkward squirming going on for a moment, especially when the top of his head is nuzzled and he can't get free.

So. He just stands there awkwardly, trying to get used to having his personal space invaded so thoroughly.]


Reunion? [Was Bel on something? He'd seen him just moments before anyway.

There's another soft noise made as he makes one last attempt to flee, but he gives up shortly after, just looking awkward and annoyed about being clung onto.]

carsharkkonishi: (put some color in your cheeks)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-12 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I like to draw. I haven't played with dolls in a while, though.
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-12 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles softly.]

Rhyme.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Why did you look so down earlier?

[Karkat wonders exactly what kind of person he's been dropped with. She's spacey, and not in the derpy Jade way.]

Damn, don't bowl me over with your enthusiastic replies. My weak bloodpusher can't handle it.

[He stands, looking around and not giving her too much thought, and cringing at how bright it is in the room. Hopefully no one's enjoying the sunlight too much, because Karkat pulls the shades closed to cut out some of that irritating light.]
adieuche: (counting down to detonation)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-12 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Deflect, deflect!]

Scare? No. I just prefer other things. Mysteries, for instance.
adieuche: (01)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-12 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That is what I'd prefer, Belphegor-san. I'd like to make my stay here as painless as possible.

[If someone else wants to draw the knife-happy guy's attention and get himself stabbed instead of Yagyuu, he's more than happy to let that go ahead and happen.]
adieuche: (ten to zero mushroom cloud)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-12 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You think this 'game' seems a bit odd, too, then?

[He pauses to adjust his glasses like any good megane should, letting the light glint off the lenses.]

Still, we'd be foolish to give up a chance to acquire points so early. I suppose we should make an effort to learn a bit about each other in the spirit of our instructions.
minus: (i can cry on command)

『Oh no, it doesn't make me feel better. I just thought a nice compliment might gain me your good graces. I mean - we are going to be roommates, why not be friends as well.

I'm also trying to accomplish this mission, but that's a given. So hey, why not be friends?』

( is he brutally honest or lying through his teeth which is is gosh )
