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.

[ ahshfgjsgf he's a bit mortified. ]

Aah ... ! Um, y-yeah, I -- [ ahhh how embarrassing! ]
I mean, uh. Y-yes, thank you.
iwagmyhair: (worry ◘ but I can't find you)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I was looking to see if there was housing that wasn't those little rooms around, but I haven't found anything like that yet...
iwagmyhair: (worry ◘ but I can't find you)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
It could really add up... [She's going to lament over this a bit. They don't even have fruit milk!!!] What happens if someone can't get points at all? They won't be able to get anything!
iwagmyhair: (she told me not to step on the cracks)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Really! Look at the price tags!

[She'll even point at one of them.]
iwagmyhair: (nervous ◘ it comes with a price)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah... maybe...

[Why is it always one corporation or another ruining her life? That's a recurring trend she could do without! To the other question, she shakes her head, not looking up.]

It's... it's just a thing. [How descriptive.] I won't bother you with it again.
outfoxing: (just your average counselor)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[gosh Masaomi it's almost like you're not at ease or something, how strange! Good thing Kudou is such a helpful samaritan and all. The silly comparison earns him a laugh, though he winds up politely waving the apology off.]

It's fine, don't worry about it. I would be a little more careful than usual right now, that's all. A lot of people seem to be agitated. [A mildly concerned look follows this and he glances back over his shoulder in the direction he had come from before giving a small shrug.]

But do you need help finding something? I don't think shops close this early, so you don't need to rush.
outfoxing: (it's probably legal somewhere)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Some of the reasons he had been referring to had absolutely nothing to do with obtaining happiness, but he keeps that to himself, nodding instead.]

I understand. CAT must be a very impressive individual, both in and out of the realm of art. [He folds his hands neatly behind his back after that, giving the wall one last appraising look.]

I'm a counselor, actually. The middle school I currently work at isn't really big on color schemes that aren't neutral like beige or white, but I think that could be said of most schools.
outfoxing: (oh you)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S IMPRESSED. Or he would be, if he knew what kind of restraint was playing into this conversation right now... Instead he just kind of laughs, shifting again so that his arms are folded over his chest.]

That's exactly it! I can't say becoming part of a science fiction novel has ever been a goal of mine, but it says something about the company hosting this, doesn't it? [Those fantastic promises they made might not be quite as impossible as they seem given the sort of abilities they've already displayed, and the prospect alone is fascinating.

A glance toward the two empty beds, and then:]
I would have liked to greet everyone upon their arrival, but I don't think we'll find anything particularly interesting sitting here, either.

You mean the ones that weren't assigned to us?

A long time ago?

[He looks puzzled but if there's something strange going on with their memories, Alto figures it must have something to do with this world.]

This place must do something to what we remember... that's all I can think of, but who knows if we can get any information right now. Thing's don't seem very clear-cut.

[He looks over her more though, eyes clouded with some lingering concern.]

You're okay though?
ofgalaxy: (☆ wouldn't someone please)

[personal profile] ofgalaxy 2012-08-16 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
The last thing I remember..?

[ she trails off at the question, confused. ]

You were with the Vajra, or at least that's what they were telling us. Frontier was trying to gain control of their planet.

That's--

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
The people in charge are just a bunch of bullies! That's just purposely adding on more problems!
cosmicella: (❝ DREAMER.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[ Not... exactly okay. She's been trying to be as cheerful as she can but- She can't stop thinking about Sheryl. Especially with Alto here now. ]
cosmicella: (❝HERO.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
I-
cosmicella: (❝MORE THAN ANYONE.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. And adds a little fist pump to boot! ]

Mm! I'll- It'll be okay! I'm fine and with Alto-kun being here now it makes me want to work even harder than before!
cosmicella: (❝ LOVE IS WAR.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
I was... with the Vajra?

[ That... That never happened for her. She definitely doesn't remember that happening. ]

I think... we might be remembering things differently...

and it begins...

[personal profile] ex_surplus655 2012-08-16 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Given Mammon's abilities have been taken away, he needs something as protection from people as well. He's not really needed anything before, so he ends up staring into the window of the weapons shop, wondering what would be best as a starter.

He has some points now... but he doesn't want to spend too many either.

It's a difficult decision.

It's also difficult to tell where he's staring, as this tiny guy's hood blocks any sight to his eyes.]


Mu... [The noise is mumbled out as a soft sigh, not having his powers anymore was kind of distressing.]
8fold: (That's what I said.)

[personal profile] 8fold 2012-08-16 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Who made you the boss? You're just some little girl.

[ says the also little girl ]

[personal profile] towardsthesky 2012-08-16 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gritting his teeth, he balls his fists but doesn't make any steps closer to him yet; the second knife doesn't go unnoticed and even Alto's not dumb enough to attack a man who just threw a knife at him while he's unarmed.]

The hell it was! What's your problem??

[He glances at him for a moment before looking back to the building, shoving his hands in his pockets as he frowns up at it.]

It sure is bright...
mellowyellow: (photograph)

Not at all~

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sweet voice complimenting him helps calm him down, sobering him from combined surprise and excitement. Wow, an actual positive response!]

Hmmmm? Could it be that you won first place, and I'm your prize~?

[Smirky-smirk.

Once she introduces herself, he straightens out for one of his own.
]

Kida Masaomi, the guy who's gonna beat RECOVERjoy to your sexy smile!
mellowyellow: (heard 'em say)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-16 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaw, shot down so fast!

[He laughs, taking a step back, hands in the air like she's holding a gun at him.]

Then I have no choice but to not make you do anything you don't want to!
mellowyellow: (misery)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-16 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, but it gives us the chance to check out theirs!

[Rin, he is now reaching out to trap you in a loose headlock, cackling all the way.]

You really suck at this, man!
cosmicella: (❝MINT SKY.)

I told you so!
