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.

Then I ask you the same question. Do I look dead to you?

[ leo knew what elliot was talking about. but he didn't die. elliot rejected his chain and from there, he died. christ. he hadn't let go of of his wrist and he wasn't planning to anytime soon. something wasn't right. he's trying to piece this together.

he looks even more irritated now and gripped tighter onto elliot's arm. ]


Something isn't right.
carsharkkonishi: (Actions speak louder than words)

Nevermind, done.

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You're the Composer. I looked everywhere for you when Beat died!

And you know my name. I think a Composer of the city I live in should.

[ Hey, girl. Respect your elders...or people your own age who like to think they are grown up and mature. ]

Point taken. You should cook and eat your meat as soon as you bring it home. If you can cook, I mean. Or are you one of those cute girls whose food looks delicious but tastes awful? If that's how it is then you can keep your banana bread for yourself.

[He shrugs.] That just means we have to tell them that even more, yeah?

No. You don't.

[Which was strange. None of it made sense. Had his memories been altered by Humpty Dumpty? He still doesn't move as he stares into Leo's eyes then, directly into them for the first time; without the glasses, without the hair. His eyes were beautiful, almost dizzying.

He had to catch himself before he got too distracted.]


...Where are your glasses, Leo? Your hair too...it's different.

[Just what had happened?]

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-14 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hipster glasses are way too mainstream. Bami's minty green hair covers half his face with shadows. That's much cooler. ]

Hello there, average fellow Yoshiya Kiryu. From now on I'm counting you as one of my three friends. Let's try to get along, okay?

[ And boy does he sound excited about it. He must be so excited that he swung back around to bored expression and even more bored voice. Oh, and he holds up three fingers, he wiggles them even, just in case you don't quite follow what he's talking about.

Isn't he super considerate? ]


So so so. Tell me - am I your first friend here, or am I late to the party?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (these keywords make no sense)

... LMFAO i feel so... cheated also 1/2

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-14 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ -- Biito Daisukenojo died? and Biito Raimu is alive and right here...

well, if he wasn't completely sold on the idea of everyone coming from alternate universes, then this pretty much takes the cake. but musing on that comes later, because for now-
]

Whoa, hold on, toots. [ he lifts his hands up in surrender in front of him, his smile dropping, rocking horse coming to a full stop. all in all, it's a pretty good attempt at looking perfectly innocent. ] I'm pretty sure you have me mistaken for someone else.
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (man i can't hold a rhyme)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ his tone is low, even, soothing almost. it's obvious he's trying to defuse the situation, but his motives are probably questionable at best (too bad it's impossible to read his mind).

but he's thinking on his feet -- how does she know about the composer? exactly how much has Neku -- has anyone really told her?

and with Neku being not the Neku he knows, it's safe to say that Joshua's in very hot water.
]

... Okay, look. You have my condolences about this... Beat character, but I'm afraid I've no idea what you're talking about... Sorry.

[ . . . ]

Did you need a eulogy for the funeral...?
gatto: (pic#4469085)

Cue the applause!

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He holds out the camera, to let him get a better look at the pictures.]

I dunno! I've never met a model. Are you a good one?

[ Don't capitalise those words. That's oppression. Ageism and oppression! And don't make that face as if you know he's not telling the truth. ]

Even if you make that face...even if you look like that! I won't admit you're right and I won't tell you what I'm scared of. Your creepy facial expression isn't making me feel uncomfortable and I'm not hanging out in a library to avoid a larger crowd. You see, there's nothing to be afraid of in this world or the next.

[ He adds some flailing for good measure. That'll make it convincing. Yeah.

Are you convinced? Here, have a throat-clearing and a manga reference for good measure. ]


Although D.Gray-man was pretty scary, but it used to be a Weekly Shounen Jump title. I don't know if I'd actually put it on the list of things that scare me.
carsharkkonishi: (Actions speak louder than words)

1/3

[She looks like she's ready to punch him.]

Why would you even say that?! That's not something you say to someone who just lost her----
sockswithsandals: (it's a bone)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-14 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[People whispering about him doesn't sound like a bad deal, actually.]

I haven't noticed. Maybe they'll change it to something interesting.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

2/3

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-14 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Then, she just stops. He...really wasn't the Joshua she had searched for? Well, Neku hadn't been the Neku she knew, so maybe this made sense....only a bit, at least. She furrowed her brow in confusion, staring at him, trying to diffuse her own anger and process everything.]
carsharkkonishi: (All good things must come to an end)

DONE AND I AM SORRY

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-14 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, trying to break out of this.]

I'm sorry...you just...nevermind, it's hard to explain.
sockswithsandals: (nakashimaaaaa)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Age Ism* fixed that for you. The faces will continue. Bami, what are you saying, I thought you weren't going to look at him. Jeez.

This is so convincing it has made him back off and look apologetic and no I'm lying, he's laughing again.]


Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me that I'm right, and I won't tell you that there are plenty of things to fear, whether they're logical or not. Very good. We'll call it even.

[dgm isn't even scary nice try loser]
outfoxing: (you silly kids)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
True. Leading by example is always good idea. [nods to himself, and then shifts a little to stare in the direction of the park.]

Anyway, there are a few other places I want to look at before returning to my room. It was good meeting you, Rin. Feel free to get in contact again if you'd like, familiar faces are always a good thing to have on hand!

[He waves, as enthusiastic as ever.]

See ya, Kudou! We're gonna be here a while, I'm sure we'll see each other again!
techissexy: (i hate this lecture)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ claudia's a little taken aback at the speed with which tsurubami speaks - she's barely even gotten a step through the door, so she frowns and furrows her brow a bit looking at him. ]

Since we're being honest, I'm not in this for it being a nice place to live. I'm in it so I have a nice place to live to go back to.

But I've lived in worse. [ there's a shrug as she throws her bag down on one of the other empty beds and sits on it, propping her hands on her knees to stare him down. trouble making eye contact? she has none. ] It could be worse.
outfoxing: (well that wasn't part of the rehearsal)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-14 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[he usually pays attention to his surroundings, but running into someone after turning a blind corner is just one of those instances where attentiveness doesn't help. unpleasant surprise that it is, he still manages to catch his bearings relatively fast.]

Are you all right-?
techissexy: (oh please honey)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's mostly doing recon, figuring out locations and just where everything is in the city when she feels the tap on her shoulder. she whirls, a bit sharper than she would normally, and her eyes are still a little hard, even when she sees that the person in question is a young girl in a large dress. ]

Hate to break it to you, but we're all pretty lost. [ she sighs though, shoving the pad of paper she was writing landmarks down on into her bag. ] But where were you trying to go?
techissexy: (please don't touch that)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ if all else fails, kick it, right? worked for old computer towers, worked for h.g.'s time machine, why not for an arcade game?

she's about to join in, make some comment about kicking from different directions, though aisha's strange look makes her pause a little.
]

What's with the costume?
techissexy: (the most unsure)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Considering what we're gonna be eating with this tiny kitchen? Sharpie and Tupperware should be good enough.

[ as she speaks, she's pulling out a sharpie and marking up a bag of doritos before shoving it in the cabinet. ]

Though with everything this place is for, stealing food might be an easy way to steal points.

[personal profile] cursedprincess 2012-08-14 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Blanche notices the slip of paper before the other girl shoves it down, and blinks at it.] Ah~? What is that?

[She sighs.] I was afraid of that. I was trying to see if I could find a clothing store. I wanted to see what they have. The dress I'm wearing isn't something you can just go around in in this weather.
techissexy: (please don't touch that)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's drawn in by the sign, peering in and looking at the line, so she is totally taken by surprise by the hand on her shoulder and suddenly appearing guy. ]

Ahhh! [ she jumps back, banging into the wall of the corner, banging her head, and instantly throwing her hand back to rub where it it. ]

Oh my god, lurk much? That is so not a good way to make friends.
techissexy: (please don't touch that)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's chilling in the park, taking stock of everything around her when she sees the guy across the grass examine the phone before he. walks into a tree.

alright, she can't help it, she laughs. it's not a long laugh, but it's enough to surprise her; she hasn't laughed in a while - there hasn't been any reason to - so it's enough to inspire her to go over to the guy and speak up.
]

You alright there? There's blinded by science, and then there's taking it to a whole new level.
