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.

[ to put it frankly, shouichi was used to hearing ridiculous things. and ridiculous things coming from someone who looked like... marx, was it? he couldn't help but automatically assume were lies.

his suspicion is only marked further at his next response, and he flashes raised-eyebrow looks of unease to both joshua and shizuo.

also, you're all wrong.
but for the record, he barely sleeps and plays the guitar. ]
It wasn't. Though I apologize for not paying much attention earlier.

[ there's obvious tension in the room and shouichi wonders how long it might take before someone throws a punch. or a chair. ]

Perhaps this game doesn't suit the current circumstances...

[personal profile] iknowthatfeel 2012-08-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. If it keeps being missions like this I'm sure everyone will meet their goal eventually. It might even be fun.

[Oh, just wait until you figure out what the actual game is.]
sockswithsandals: (NUH UH GURL)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, now he's less concerned about the statistic, but this is entertaining.]

Which thing? Your statistic or your claim to be a bastion of truthful words?
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Because I asked really nicely?

[It's worth a shot, but she's already stepping back a bit.]

I don't know what else you would want from me.
ushishishi: (crest got nothing on this bitch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Snickering and laughing at Shouichi's misfortune, Bel places his hands behind his head, leaning back just to look down on the guy ever so slightly. The look on his face said that knowledge of identity was mutual.]

I'm here to win this little game, of course. You should just cut your losses here and leave, hmm?

[Well, that's a bit odd. This was Shouichi Irie from the future, and as he remembered him, the loyal servant to Byakuran.]

[Perhaps he was sneaking behind his back?


Obviously~ Without Byakuran here, your own volition is clearly useless.

[You just crashed into a tree, bro.]
carsharkkonishi: (Actions speak louder than words)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
That wasn't nice! [She frowns.]

You're not going to finish the mission if you keep this up. [Pouting.]
sockswithsandals: (are you done)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[oh my god]

No!

[He is practically tearing his hair out here. Enjoy these ten points, buy some perspective with them.]

The event is-- is- [waving a hand, searching for a good word] -- a performance.

;A;!!!!!!!!

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe if you said what it was I would be aware of it.

[Sounded logical, right?

Though... he peers at Bel from under his hood, expression shifting to a '^' sort of state.

What was that face he was pulling?]


Bel?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He continues to swing, wondering what that sad thing might be. It's ammo, that's for sure, but will he be able to retrieve it so soon?]

We can talk about it if you want to.
sockswithsandals: (ass ass ass ass)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[yes weirdo is the worst thing he's ever been called, he will not recover, how could she]

The scream is the big finish to every good horror story!

[How logical, right. ....oh she called it dumb...] It's not dumb.
soulfood: (chopstick master race)

THE PARK

[personal profile] soulfood 2012-08-13 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[All bums flock to the park, and Kyouko is no exception. The impressively large jungle gym immediately catches her interest, both as a vantage point and a source temporary amusement. She spends a little time climbing and swinging around, looking like a truly gifted jungle gymnast, but her real goal is to keep an eye out for people. If anyone wanders near, she'll stylishly dismount (sticking the landing, of course) and approach them.]

Hey.

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah...

[Though he hasn't met that '3 friends' goal, really. He would've, but one of his roommates is Joshua, and he'd rather punch that guy than make friends with him.]

It's definitely different than what I thought would happen.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe he's just not scary enough? Or maybe most people are the type to be unfazed here. Either way, Mammon just keeps staring at him.]

Judging by your lack of enthusiasm at my reaction, it didn't go to plan.

[Just summing that up.]

Is this yours?

[Yeah, don't tell him what to do!!!]
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

but my honor

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[these points are so comfortable just like toe socks]

Hmm.

[Is he going to be insulted until he puts on different shoes... that's ridiculous.]

I'm keeping the sandals, you know.
ushishishi: (That shirt with those shoes is disgustin)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Mammon, you-

[He falters for a moment. Yes, that would be logical, but this situation wasn't. Mammon obviously didn't remember, and Bel doubted this corporation would have managed to reverse the transformation. It left one question- where did this Mammon come from?]

...

What's the last thing you remember?

[No giggles, no smile. Just a question that clearly wanted blunt truth.]
sockswithsandals: (and that's basically how it'll go down)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
You aren't hurt.

[That means it falls under the "nice enough" umbrella, surely. As for the mission, he's talked to a ton of people already... aaaand he doesn't really care. So he just shrugs at that.]

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[IT'S OKAY!]

Good.

[Hopefully she feels that stare for that comment.]

Mammon isn't difficult to say, mu... [It's kind of like a soft sigh though, rather than a more pronounced 'mu' noise.]

Italy.

[It's kind of a lie, but not at the same time.]

Where are you from, Blanche?
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He's scary enough to little girls...! Which, conveniently, have been his audience up until today-- look he's adjusting. It's a process.

He scoffs; no, it didn't go according to plan. With a glance at the note on the wall, not that he needs to look at it:]
Yes.
varmint: (≺ home's not where the heart is!)

[personal profile] varmint 2012-08-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. [At least he thinks he's accumulating Joypoints, but hasn't really bothered to check up on that...] But unless you've...

[Elijah trails off on his last word and quickly attempts to recover himself, now that he takes a good look at the woman. The woman. Please don't mind him though Aisha he's just horribly awkward around the opposite sex...]

...I think it'd be much more productive if you asked around. [He clears his throat. Okay, we're good.]
ushishishi: (insert giggling here)

10 or 50?

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[A few more minutes of Bel watching the little man, and his laughter eventually fades. Eventually, he rolls over onto his back, staring at the ceiling. He gives a very dismissive wave, not even bothering to look at Marx.]

You've served your purpose. You can go.

[The grin hasn't left his face the entire time.]

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow what kind of dumb question was that?! And why would you remind him of his failure... or make him talk about it.]

Boss was about to crush that Hibari to death.

[It's said completely as though he was reading a bank statement too, or a story narration.]

Why?
gatto: (pic#4500808)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-13 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Finally putting away the phone, he sits up.] We are supposed to make friends right now, yeah?

My name's Rin! What's yours?
ushishishi: (It'd be a shame if something happened)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have to listen to you because I'm a prince.

[He's sitting up as she steps back.]

I want what ever other person wants here, little girl.

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[...You know, he's had to live with someone like Izaya in his life since he first got into High School. He's starting to suspect that you're somewhat like the flea bastard. Yeah, it's starting to kinda feel like that. Because, he's not completely sure, but he thinks that he might want to punch you or something.]

As I said, does it really matter? You don't seem to actually care about it either way.

It doesn't have to hurt me to be mean, you know.
