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.

Not even close~

[Bel's idea of slightly creepy is everyone else's idea of High Octane Nightmare Fuel.]

[If it were anyone else, he'd slit his throat right there and then. But this boy seemed entertaining, and why stop the fun now when you could party for much longer? Still giggling, he moved aside and let Yotsuya fly past him.]


Prince Belphegor. Take care to remember that.

[...He says as Yotsuya barrel rolls out of there.]

[Ohhhh, a grumpy one. No problem! He's not gonna let that stop him. Rin only raises his eyebrows, his hands on his hips.]

That's no good! We've gotta make friends now, yeah? How are you gonna make any friends like this?

( oops did someone talk? don't mind shiro popping out in front of tomoko hanging upside down from the closet. )

PUDDING~!!♥♥
ushishishi: (It'd be a shame if something happened)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Your observations of the Wild Belphegor are quite correct, sadly. He seems eager to prove this by spinning the knife around once more.]

Then what about the pathetically easy missions they have us doing? I'm sure there are more that don't involve others.

[At the "don't involve others", he stops swinging the knife, and holds it in such a manner that would be quite easy to, say, stab someone with.]

[Does anyone actually read Bleach?

Now, Yotsuya is content to just fade this kid out of his peripheral and ignore him. It's really, really easy to let a talkative schoolkid drone out into a dull buzzing. He's well versed in the art, especially when he has reading to do, like right now.

But for some reason, this buzzing won't stop. It is the dull buzzing that never ended. It's like there's a thousand irate bees hovering somewhere near him, just talking about manga.

Somewhere in the middle of the speech he stops reading and turns his head to stare. He forgets to fold down his page, this time, and just stares, torn between being annoyed and awestruck.

It just keeps going. Indeed, it keeps going as he tears himself away from his magazine rack and just walks over there and looms a bit closer than necessary, rolling up the magazine in his hands in case he needs... to.....

oh good it stopped.

He lowers his arm, which was not about to smack this kid with a rolled magazine at all. What a strange suggestion, Odd Inference.]


Never do that again.

[hm] ...It's about pigeons.

( shiro had been sitting on the top bar of the swing set, letting the breeze hit her as her long white hair flowed gently. she tried looking for that noise but it seemed to be gone. she was currently eating an old cookie and tossed half of it away. how did she get it? like back home, who knows.

however she knew one thing, if she wanted to eat pure sweets all day and all night and if she wanted to make ganta happy she had to make friends. so when elliot showed up, she fell backwards, her legs gripped onto the bar and stared at Elliot. )


Hello~♥
varmint: (≺ in your shell with dreams)

[personal profile] varmint 2012-08-11 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Kudou it is, then.

[The hand shake comes easily, as does the placement of his smile as it tilts just a bit higher. This would probably be the only hard part for the time being.] I suppose I'd be at fault if I were to admit I was expecting ...larger living arrangements.

Alas! Nothing we can't manage through, of course. [Despite that, he shrugs helplessly. And suddenly very interested-]

May I ask what brought you here?

KITCHEN LOBBY

[personal profile] iknowthatfeel 2012-08-11 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Instead of going too far out and about in the town Sakura has decided it was wiser to explore the apartment building first. The actual rooms didn't have any means of cooking so of course there would have to be a common area.

Which is why the young girl is now located in the kitchen inspecting the stove and orange refrigerator. It seems up to date and clean enough... It passes standards. There is just one thing off, and she thinks it aloud.]


It's going to be hard for people to mark what food is their's...

[Maybe that was intentional considering this place, but she doesn't know that yet.]

[Making friends wasn't exactly Elliot Nightray's forte. He didn't really have any aside from Leo and now Leo was as good as dead. There was also Oz Vessalius who was...somewhat of a friend, but even then their relationship was a strange one.

Yes, the young noble sucked at making friends and yet here was this boy before him, being just as irritating as Oz had been. Really, it was kind of annoying, but in a familiar way. A good way...

Sort of.]


I haven't figured that part out yet.
sockswithsandals: (i work out)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT DEAD!

And not creepy. Woe. Well, there is time to improve. He will rank up, rest assured.

Yotsuya stops himself from flailing into the wall and looks down, checking for... knives... no injuries!! Better than expected.]


Prince, okay. Got it. [...] Yotsuya.

[does this count as making a friend...] Can I go back to my bed now?

( Proper etiquette, proper schmetiquette. If there's one person who never got the memo about things such as "minding your p's and q's", or "this is called 'personal space'" -- it's this one. After the initial outburst from the pair of them [and what a sight that must have been], the Minus scoots right over to bridge the gap between himself and his peer. )

『Wishes don't come true, Tsurubami-kun. So, what does it matter - whether I ask what lengths you're going to go to in order to obtain "true happiness" or not?』

( careful he might start weaving back and forth just to be obnoxious and try to meet your eyes man )

『Eh?! How cruel! And I was just thinking I'd become friends with you.』

I'm sure there will be, but it will be easier in the long run to get points for ourselves if there are others who have them to take from.

[His gaze flickers down to the knife before it returns to Belphegor's face; he'd really rather not have to deal with getting stabbed every time he wants to do something in his room, though really, he's not sure how much use reason is going to be with someone like this.]

I'm proposing that as we're roommates, it would be convenient to help each other with this first task, and possibly later ones. Are you really going to turn down an essentially free opportunity to gain some points?

➔the grocery store

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
( sure shiro doesn't have any points at the moment but that won't stop her from having tons of fun! so she grabs a shopping cart, gets on it, and ride through it in the store. however this stopped being fun when she realized she was just riding through.

so she grabbed a long stick, ride through again, but this time begins knocking things over all while laughing. she's being so rough she doesn't notice her body suit it ripping slightly showing off a scar in her right arm that seems rather fresh.

feel free to join her or stop her. )
sockswithsandals: (SCREM)

(ಡ_ಡ)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[So after being attacked, Yotsuya has decided to just go find somewhere with less people than cramped apartment rooms, and maybe pick up some snacks on the way?? Maybe he will find a vending machine and kick it and see if it gives him something to drink...

Or maybe he will find a kitchen, which is much closer and a lot more convenient.

But there is a girl in here, so when he sees her he stops dead and sort of... shifts... sideways. He's about half visible in the doorway, staring blankly. Will she leave soon...]
ushishishi: (Get in loser)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Ushishishi'ing all over the place as Yotsuya looks himself over. Don't worry, the knife wounds would come later.]

Pleasure to meet you, Yoyo~

[that is your new name apparently. But it totally does count!]

[To his question, Bel does nothing but grin wider, and flop down on the bed Yotsuya was trying to make a claim for. Sorry, but it's been annexed.]


No. It's the prince's territory now.

[Pulling the phone out of his pocket with one hand, he gives a dismissive wave with the other.]

You can sleep on the floor. Not next to me, of course.
plucks: (gold blood)

[personal profile] plucks 2012-08-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, I haven't. [She wonders if that's strange of her. Would this guy think she was weird for admitting it?

She pushes away any intimidation she might feel and persists. It must all be a part of making friends.]


How do they work?

[personal profile] iknowthatfeel 2012-08-11 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she fusses around a bit more, looking for where the pots and pans are stored and the like, before that horrible feeling of being watched starts prickling up her spine. Turns... around...

And then she spots the person half hiding behind the door. She would ignore him but they've made eye contact now. It would be rude to just ignore him now, right? There are too many people in this apartments.]


Hello? Um, are you hungry?

[personal profile] fashionenvy 2012-08-11 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[there's another girl in the room, and she's giving a pretty bewildered look at the moment. it's partially because of the sudden arrival in the room plus the text that she had just received, but also because of the the sudden shout from the blonde]

Huh--?! Apocalypse!?
gatto: (pic#4370517)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-11 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
["Haven't figured that part out yet?" That's almost... cute, how lost he looks.

Rin shakes his head, a short laugh escaping him. Well, someone's gonna have to teach this guy how to make friends!]


You don't know? It's not that hard!

[He waves a hand at him.] You've just gotta talk to people!
sockswithsandals: (that's ok right)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[No, that's... he messed that one up special.

He makes a face at the nickname (why did it have to be nicknames), but before he is easily offended he is territorial, and that one is his. He stalks back over to loom over his usurped bed and stare down at Bel, unblinking.]


Get out of my bed.

[personal profile] cursedprincess 2012-08-11 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[A sad-looking person by himself on the swingset? That seemed like friend material if Blanche had ever seen it. She wandered over and sat down on the swing next to his, pushing herself a little and then letting her feet scrape idly against the sand beneath her as as she did.]

What's wrong? You look depressed.
sockswithsandals: (what do you like about horror stories)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[NO THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE WANTED. If he just stares at her

will she leave. He continues staring, although his eyes (well, eye, visible) widen and he slides a hand up the doorframe to clutch it uncomfortably.]
guielliotine: (//Holy Shit)

[personal profile] guielliotine 2012-08-11 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that was something Elliot hadn't been expecting. He'd been so self absorbed when he'd sat down on the swing that he hadn't noticed the girl sitting atop the swing set. Thus, when she said hello and hung upside down from it, Elliot found himself jerking back on the swing, the display a rather uncoordinated one before he composed himself.]

H-Hello?!

[personal profile] iknowthatfeel 2012-08-11 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah........


It would make sense that a happiness game would attract happy people, right? Yeah!]

I haven't roomed with so many people before either. I'm sure it won't be a problem though.
