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.

[Elijah watches Kudou's face for a few brief seconds, unanswering, then briskly turns on his phone and scowls.] I don't. I wonder why that is?

[It could have been any number of reasons, really...oh, it couldn't be. And honestly, Elijah didn't catch anything particularly surreal or supernatural about Kudou, but the situation itself was giving way to that very tension. He shrugs his shoulders in some attempt to dismiss the feeling.]

How funny, really! I suddenly feel so much older! I may not just be keeping up with the times.
outfoxing: (just your average counselor)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-14 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[The possibility that's presenting itself in front of him right now is, frankly, the most interesting thing he's seen since arriving. Different places is one thing, but this...

He unfolds and refolds his hands, now using them to rest his chin against.]


Age does seem to creep up on the best of us, doesn't it? But I do have to wonder... International airports have seen heavy use since before the 1930s and cell phones have been very popular since at least the start of 2000.
varmint: (≺ and their bitter remarks)

[personal profile] varmint 2012-08-14 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, see, I didn't even think to-

["2000".]

...[Elijah gives an incredibly strained smile towards Kudou, and all of his doubts and fears have been realized. Figures.]

Aha, that's all very interesting...but this doesn't add up. [He frowns, really frowns this time, and finally pockets his phone.]

1921. That's correct, isn't it? [But he already knew, somehow, it wasn't.]
outfoxing: (let me get my chaise lounge)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-14 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Oho, definitely interesting. If it wasn't quite clear that his conversational partner was having a difficult time getting over this particular hurdle, he'd probably clap his hands together in a display of enthusiasm.

As things are, he adopts a suitably unobtrusive posture, wanting to lessen any potential negative impact this information might have. He's even doing a somewhat decent job at keeping that amusement out of his smile this time!]


It's the year 2010 for myself, actually. It seems that "different places" doesn't quite cover it, hm?

[That'll be a blast, for sure. Masaomi is rather lucky as far as his roommates are concerned.]

Sure thing. Already memorized mine.

[Of course one of the first things he'd explore would be the phone. Even though he just put it away, he hauls it out again just as quickly.]

We could even trade phones~
mellowyellow: (killa)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-14 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
She's had waaay too much practice for that~

[It's almost sly, the way he coos it. Especially when no name is forthcoming.]

So did you come in hoping to mess the place up, or was that just a side-effect of my overwhelming presence?

[ She... blinks at that "answer." She decides to think on it. Furrowed eyebrows and "uh." ]
cosmicella: (❝FREELY TOMORROW.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Are you lost too?

[ It's an innocent question! She means no ounce of judging in her question at least despite how it is worded. ]

cosmicella: (❝CHEERFUL GOODBYE.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhhhh?

[ Kida... That's-- ]

That's the exact same thing I was talking about! [ But that one did manage to get a small laugh out of her. ]
mellowyellow: (we be burnin')

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-14 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-

[He just barely catches himself from tumbling backward. It takes yet another moment to remember other people exist and he just ran into one.]

Fine. Better than fine! Amazing!

[The volume of his voice rises with each assurance, and by the end of it, he's finally looking the other man in the eye. He's still breathing hard, and he hopes that means his lie isn't obvious, hesitation easily attributed to disorientation and catching his breath.]

[Kyouko manages to stick a smile on her face.]

Yep, real good.

At least the girls outnumber the guys now.
mellowyellow: (billionaire)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-14 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly we'll have to test this! Let's show them to some girls and see if they swoon~!
soulfood: (blank face)

[personal profile] soulfood 2012-08-14 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[The niceness is good for about one day. Act now, while supplies last!]

Uh-huh.

But, you know, if it were that easy to steal things here, you'd think the whole place would be looted by now.
soulfood: (yeah you're the best)

[personal profile] soulfood 2012-08-14 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it's hard not to look smug when you have an adoring fan. Kyouko flashes Tomoko a cocky grin.]

Yeah, you think?

I'm pretty good at that sorta stuff. I don't really even have to practice, you know?
cosmicella: (❝HAZY MOON.)

cosmicella: (❝A PIECE OF YOU.)

2/3 blah i swear to god.

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs a bit but smiles. ]

Ah, sorry, um! I didn't mean to laugh but...
cosmicella: (❝SPINNING SONG.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
It might have been a bit presumptuous of me to consider you a friend already since you said you liked talking me before...

[ This is more or less mumbled to herself rather than out loud since... when she realizes it's kind of embarrassing on her part. ]

Um! Sure, if that's what you want! I'd love to be friends with you too... if you're okay with that.

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. She nods! ]

I think you seem like a nice person so... I think I would have liked being your friend even without the mission! So, sure.

[ Alto definitely wouldn't disappear without warning like that and she knows. But, if she told him that he disappeared with the Vajra Queen, she worries he would misunderstand what happened. Since to him the Vajra are still an enemy...

But Gallia 4...? Did he mean her first concert or...? ]


Um... I had my first concert already! Ah, but that was a long time ago already.

That's not true!

[ Oh- That's- Maybe that came out too rudely- ]

Oh! Sorry, I don't mean- Wait, let me start over.

[ AHEM. ]

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
You're really fun to talk and you're really nice. Even though I bumped into you forgave me so-

I know I would love to be friends with you, at least.

[ Gosh, she almost feels like she's under some sort of pressure here.

like from a teacher expecting you to give a well thought out, long as heck essay, with citations and everything!! ]


It's just-...
cosmicella: (❝MY LAST.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
There's something I want to do here.

[ A pause. ]

... And, maybe, it's the same for some others here too.
cosmicella: (❝FORBIDDEN HAPPINESS.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
If that's the case then... I think everyone deserves support for what they want to achieve. That's all.
