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.
ushishishi: (I'm not the banana prince seriously)

[The pout continues as Shizuo doesn't go to retrieve the knife, and Bel finally sits up, just about ready to get off the couch.]

Give back what belongs to me now, or the outcome will not be fine for you.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[One step at a time, then. Just chalking up failures to experiments... that could work.]

That was your only plan to complete the task?
carsharkkonishi: (Actions speak louder than words)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
The best princes are the understanding ones, where their kingdom adores them for being nice. History hasn't liked mean princes.

Well, throwing knives at people aren't going to get you joypoints.
sockswithsandals: (stop........)

[He pauses, because he's not often actually accused of being mean--even when he has done something that even he can freely admit is a bit ethically unsound. Kids...]

I have acted without malice.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that would be more suitable.

[He pauses.]

That or I can assist you for a small fee.
ushishishi: (the fuck is that a blimp)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[This answer didn't satisfy Bel in the slightest, and that fact is reflected in the lack of change to his facial expression.]

That was in the past, Mammon. That ace crushed the watch himself. Did coming here strike you with amnesia?
varmint: (≺ like all bad things)

iM CRYING

[personal profile] varmint 2012-08-13 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[CHOKES ON HIS CIGARETTE. Not from anger through- he restrains himself by coughing into his fist. He didn't want to ruin his "cool" by suddenly bursting out into laughter.] Hmm, what a smart little brat! [Elijah is feeling BETTER ALREADY...]

Very well, I don't doubt you're able to keep your own share of secrets just as easily as I keep mine. Be it toxicity or not, we simply can't allow ourselves very many luxuries.

[He taps his cigarette with a nod.] I'm very happy!
sockswithsandals: (i'm going to rip you apart)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
The task...? [Scaring people?--oh, wait, no. Realization dawns before he sneers and rolls his eyes.]

That's done. I think.

50

[And Marx does what he was told, but not without his hat. He grabbed the knife holding his hat and pulled it out of the wall, only to drop it on the ground without cutting himself. He puts his hat back onto his head and stormed out of the lobby; he will fight another day, so be prepared]
ushishishi: (Cause you won't let me borrow)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
The prince is the best because he's a prince. One only needs loyalty from their subjects rather than affection, you know?

Then, little girl-

[Raising those knives up.]

Be my friend.
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Your character? You were just talking about how this isn't fiction.

[Pick a story and stick to it, is the unsaid conclusion to that line. At the very least, the kid likes horror stories. It could be worse. Yotsuya gives him an even stare, as if trying to size him up properly, and nods.]

I had a feeling.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a twitch of irritation.]

After that, Boss struck his own watch and- [Now he can't take part... He stops talking and returns to the menu again instead, pressing buttons and reminding himself that this is why he's playing this game. It's okay.

Bel probably had a weird wish he wanted granting and was there for that instead. He had his own life to worry about. If only he knew]

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
So I was right.

[Assuming it was with roommates anyway, it seemed like he made a good decision in offering his own roommates a friend for payment. Hmm.]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Tantrums won't work on this guy. Well, not in the way people usually want at least.]

I think not. Kids shouldn't be playing with knives, anyway. You should go for something normal, like video games or actual sports.
ushishishi: (crest got nothing on this bitch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately, Bel didn't care to waste more of his knives, and at the moment he was just to lazy to get up and retrieve them. So none were thrown as Marx left the building, Bel's giggles the only things that were following them.]

[What an entertaining toy. He looked forward to more of this one.]
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...I'll be fine.
cancerousnubs: (FUCKASS PLEASE.)

[personal profile] cancerousnubs 2012-08-13 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Not like Karkat didn't fall for it himself, but he was desperate too. Sleep deprived and desperate, a bad combination for proper decision making. He tries to ignore the obvious interest in his horns.]

What about it reads "ok" to you? You got that same text just now, didn't you? This is going to be an objective based game, where whoever runs the show just sits back in their comfy office chair petting a purring meowbeast like a smug asshole.

I thought this would be something more worthy of my time.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I can bet that's not true. You meant to scare me.
sockswithsandals: (LMFAO THIS JUMPSUIT)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Roommates. Ha ha. Just barely, probably passing by saying "we're friends now" over and over. He frowns; that's... vague.]

About?
ushishishi: (So fucking fetch)

+10 points to Shizuo, Bel's annoyed XD

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Standing up and drawing out a few more knives, Bel smiled once again, but the tenseness behind it told anyone who looked upon it that it was anything but happy.]

[He began to walk toward Shizuo.]


These knives are my weapons, not playthings.

[He jingles the knives in his hand.]

Do you want to see that they're not toys?
sockswithsandals: (guuuuurl)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She has a point...]

Semantics. "Fear" is my priority--you could have been anyone.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course, that's what everyone is doing. It was supposed to be vague too, or rather, cryptic.]

Nothing of importance.
carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Eyes going wide in terror, backing up.]

I-I...really..don't want to...

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He figured it wouldn't be this easy, but that's okay; there's always another time.]

Hey Rhyme? Remember that you can always trust me. We're friends now, so I won't let anyone hurt you.
sockswithsandals: (yes you like horror we know)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He should probably be curious, try to pursue the issue... buuut he's. not.]

Oh.

[a beat] Well, if that's all-- you're disrupting my activity.
