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.

You meant to scare someone, either way. That's malice.
sockswithsandals: (and that's basically how it'll go down)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it matters to you, since you brought it up. I can't risk creating a much bigger event with my little activity, if that thing is true.

[... he doesn't care at all, as that statistic would be irrelevant even if it weren't bullshit, BUT.]

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't need to, being in the way is enough to help, isn't it? At least for now.]

Mu... I shouldn't have to leave for you to continue if it's that ineffective.
sockswithsandals: (are you done)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He's just not getting it; the things he normally does are so much more elaborate than "paper taped to wall" -- this is child's play.]

I think I might understand my motives better than you do.
ushishishi: (It'd be a shame if something happened)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
For your own sake, you should.

[That is definitely a threat.]

Being a prince's friend has benefits, you know. [Like...we'll get back to you on that.]
sockswithsandals: (>:T)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's-- [PRETTY INEFFECTIVE, YEAH... He frowns.] It has kinks to be worked out.

Without an extra audience.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He averts his eyes for a moment - not like it's noticeable - and makes it seem as though he's thinking it over.]

You should move on if your tricks aren't up to par.
ushishishi: (I'm not the banana prince seriously)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[The irritation came to Bel's face as well- why didn't he remember? What was wrong with him?]

We tackled boss down to prevent him from doing that. He's still in.

[The "still in" is said a bit hesitantly. Now that Mammon is for all intents and purposes dead, was their team still really in?]

Hey, look at the prince.

[He tried to pull Mammon toward him.]
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I do, don't worry.

[She looks at him.]

Can you promise that?

And so it begins! (He'll probably earn it back before long.)

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Is that supposed to intimidate him or something, you troll doll? It probably says something that Shizuo doesn't even seem to react to the knives. Clearly he's not blind, but either mentally broken in some way, or there's a reason he's not seeing the knives as a potential threat. Yet.]

I don't give a damn what they are to you.

[He's just going to take a pack out to grab one of his cigarettes.]

You're not getting that one back unless you take it out of there yourself.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
You said your primary goal was to get 'fear'. That's a negative emotion. That is bad.


carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

+50 to Bel, seeing as 'mental distress'

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
....U-um...okay...just don't hurt me.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I promise.

[Shame it's a promise Marx will never keep]
sockswithsandals: (hello friends i am here)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Yotsuya keeps his hand where it is, but at least he isn't trying to swat anyone in the face, or anything. The challenge makes him frown, although of course, as before, it's for "back off my shrieks, jackass" reasons more than anything else.

But it's just so satisfying to ruin someone else's plot with his own!! He tilts his head all the way down to his shoulder and grins, which is a perfectly normal way of expressing mild interest in whatever grudgey things are bound to come his way.]


Let's see if the cunning fox has new ideas. Good luck, sensei.
sockswithsandals: (guuuuurl)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, what did he say that sounded like "I'm in the mood for unsolicited advice"? Still frowning.]

Not knowing who I'm dealing with won't make future efforts any easier for me.

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-13 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Bel just let him tsun at the computer in peace! Though that confuses him in return, and a frown falls across his own face.

Points are just bouncing back and forth here aren't they...]


You failed, the watch smashed in front of me, Bel.

[He only looks at him from the side though, and stop talking about this as it's pissing him off, and only making him lose more points!!]
sockswithsandals: (hair.......)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
It could be worse.
sockswithsandals: (i don't really like this icon)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[I thought we said, Hanten showed up uninvited to just be there.

Anyway he really can't help himself when it comes to looming. There's a joke about weaving in here so just imagine it.]


Are you afraid of people?

[yotsuya stop]
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
It could be, but it isn't.

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
If you didn't want to risk it, then you just don't have to do it again. That'd take away the risk, simple as that.

[Yes... simple is a good word. For Shizuo, that is.]
carsharkkonishi: (put some color in your cheeks)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.
sockswithsandals: (no this teacher is so dull.....)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[... he is not accustomed to intelligent children, what does he do.]

We're not going to agree.
ushishishi: (this is decidedly unprincely)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, yes they are. Should we list them out or say they'll be even by the end?]

Mammon's wrong. We played in that game for a while after that, until-

[He stops short as a thought came to him. In those fuzzy memories of the future, he remembered that some had the power to cross into different timelines and bring others here.]

[Maybe this company had the same ability? He looks contemplative for a moment.]
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Then why don't we agree to disagree?

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Don't like it when people are too persistent?
