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.

[It's a good thing he decides on otherwise, just to save this dumb baby's sanity. Maybe to save Bel's as well. The curse is lifted here though, so maybe it would just be smart to stay in this world, never leave...

If he got his abilities back, anyway.

Bel's actions are completely suspicious, though.]


Not always.

[It's not said as an insult as it would be from Someone Else, but it does carry a certain bite to it.]
sockswithsandals: (touchin face)

small victories.....!!!

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Faceful of sheets, ack. But Yotsuya will remain a man of his word and vacate the bed. He tucks the ball of sheets under his arm and bows, entirely facetiously judging by the ridiculous gesture accompanying it by his other arm.

He takes Bel very seriously, certainly.]


Thank you. [hm, satisfied... but wait] Can I have the pillow, too?

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Tch... Whatever.

[Not worth his time to think on this, then. He's just gonna head out, then~ Didn't you have more reason than scaring people, Yoyo?]
carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah. [Backing away.]
sockswithsandals: (>:T)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[No.......... not really.... that was really the whole plan. Wasn't it a good one? He'll just make a face at Shizuo's retreating back and go fuss over his dumb poster, take that!!]

[personal profile] steelchairs 2012-08-13 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mansion? Whoa, that wasn't exactly on his mind. ]

Well hey, that doesn't sound so bad.

[ He also feels like this man is eyeballing him. He seems a little bit stiffer, too, his brow furrowing. ]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Except the original plan didn't work. Not on this guy, at least. Good news is that there wasn't any violence or points lost! (This time.)]
steelchairs: (pic#4438203)

[personal profile] steelchairs 2012-08-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah! Gotta' get on out of here and all. Play the game, right?

[ what the hell is wrong with you Kanji. ]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Who was this girl, and why was she approaching him? Shizuo was just passing through and enjoying a smoke before this meeting. Not much of an expression on his face... yet.]

... Yeah?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (beep me)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-13 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow Shizuo, you don't just ask someone if they're constantly bullied at school.

which means you're not getting a response.

but thanks, Shouichi, this totally means he can give zip about himself now. so he laughs, crossing his legs and propping his arm on his knee, resting his chin against his knuckles.
]

Agreed. [ ... pretend, for a moment, it wasn't Joshua's wise idea to play the game in the first place. ] But what would you folks propose we do?

Should we all link arms and sing 'Kumbaya'?

THE STREETS

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[There's someone dressed like a bartender (or a waiter/semi-formally) going down the streets with purple sunglasses and smoking. You probably just got some of the cigarette smoke in your face. What do?

[It'd been a few hours since first arriving, and Shizuo learned a few things (though not the truth of the game.) With the knowledge, he's been going around wondering how possible this really all was. In a sense, they had managed to fix one of the causes of the problem he wanted RECOVERjoy to handle. It was easy, or habit, for Shizuo to try and clear his head by walking around the city. Except it wasn't really working.

[Break what looks like someone concentrating so hard he probably almost walked right into you?]

noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (don't need to stretch your neku)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I hardly doubt it. I bet you can tie your own shoes and everything.

[ where the hell are your black framed glasses, kamotan

but alright. he'll deal with the social maxims and reach out to give Tsurubami a firm handshake. even if the guy's still doing his utmost best to skirt around direct eye-contact.
]

Well, just-a-normal-man-trying-to-get-by Tsurubami Kamome, it's nice to make your acquaintance.

I'm Yoshiya Kiryu. Just an average fellow with way too much time on his hands.

[When he stands off after vacating the bed, he pauses for a moment. Now that he thought about it, the pillow probably was tainted as well.]

[But he couldn't just give it to him, could he? Especially with that kind of bow.]

[FOOMP. Have a pillow flying at your face to accompany your sheets ♥]
bound: (Default)

[personal profile] bound 2012-08-13 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, at least he seems enthusiastic. Meredith huffs a small laugh. ]

In this project.. I have somewhere I need to be.

[ A moment. ]

Where are you from? [ and your name, gosh kid manners!! ]
sockswithsandals: (>:T)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, that was a great bow. Don't be picky.

FACEFUL OF PILLOW THIS TIME cry. Yotsuya makes a muffled sound into the pillow when it hits him in the face, which might just be him saying "why" exasperatedly, but the pillow joins his ball o' sheets soon after.

Now if you will excuse him he's going to go sit on the floor somewhere not near any beds.]
ushishishi: (I killed your family ♥)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[The prince has a royal right to be picky!!!!]

[Bel certainly seems to be in better spirits now- Yoyo's pillow cry inspired a few ushishishi's.]

[You do that. Meanwhile, Bel strolls right over to the bed Yotsuya was sitting on and flops his lazy prince ass right on it.]

[Territory get!]
ushishishi: (So fucking fetch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-13 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
'shishi! Don't be so tense, it's not good for such a young girl.

[Mockingly.]
binaries: (have you tried it with splenda.)

[personal profile] binaries 2012-08-13 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. [ shouichi folds his arms, settling his weight on his right foot. ] I won't be giving up that easy, I'm afraid. I can make my own decisions. [ ohhh you have no idea. ]

And I see you're here without the VARIA?
What's that all about?

[ ah, touché. ]

sockswithsandals: (and that's basically how it'll go down)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-13 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong.

[Is that a surprise, being wrong? He points, for emphasis and a little bit of theatrics. Don't just assess what he's all about so presumptuously.

He completely ignores that "except not at all" and keeps on going,]


I don't want to be part of a fictional world. Each story is its own creation and it starts with reality; a grain of truth nestled within the exhilarating tale. I have no intention of participating in the plot or escaping the real world, I just want to create the story.

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Jokes on you, Shouichi; Shizuo didn't even think or guess about which was true! This is nothing to be proud of. There's a bit of an incredulous look at Marx, given what he thought was funny. Him and the pale-haired kid were just plain suspicious. All he could respond to with Marx's question was muttering;]

How would that make us friends...

[While he doesn't mind a change in 'activities,' he didn't want the kid to make the choice again. Or even have his sarcastic suggestion be taken seriously.]

I'll pass if that's the case.

[Nope, pushing it back towards the other guy. Just... someone not the one he feels like he should want to punch.]

You got a better idea then?
outfoxing: (this place is full of weirdos!)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-13 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it doesn't bother me on a personal level! In fact, I think persistence is one of the best traits a person could have. It takes a lot of persistence to get over hurdles in life, both mental and physical.
outfoxing: (let me get my chaise lounge)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-13 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
A breath of fresh air, is that it? It sounds like a good place to be. Everyone needs a little change of pace, right? After this is over, I don't think I would mind moving to a place like that. [It's accompanied with a laugh but he doesn't really sound like he's joking. His current area of living is getting a little... stale, after all.]

Does it rain often, then? That's pretty surprising, everyone seems to talk about the desert areas when they mention Australia.

[He leans forward a little, lacing his fingers together and resting his elbows on his knees.] That depends! If you're looking for a place like Melbourne, Tokyo would be your best bet. The further you get away from major cities, the more peaceful and quiet the locations become. Granted, the rural lifestyle has its own set of good points.

Really? Shiro will keep it then.

( she smiles brightly. )

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-13 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Because Shiro wants some!!

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-13 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yay!

( she jumps out from the cart and runs to him. she then jumps on him. )
