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.
iwagmyhair: (o-ow ◘ and who is the knife?)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-18 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Like nearly everything... I thought things like this were supposed to be in fine print or something like that.
iwagmyhair: (worry ◘ but I can't find you)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-18 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Um. I guess that's what the mission is for! To get everyone started?
iwagmyhair: (surprise ◘ who is the lamb)

[The movement towards her only gets her to cringe away, moving a step farther back. Tomoko watches him quietly for a moment, as if making sure he isn't about to make any other motions, then she relaxes. A little. Enough to be puzzled rather than terrified, at least.]

...curtains? [The stare she gives Dave reads a bit as not quite comprehending what he means right away. Curtains are for windows. How would curtains— oh.] You mean to string across the room?
mellowyellow: (show stopper)

This is probably +10 to Shizuo, if not more.

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That Masaomi Kida?

Well.

If Masaomi had had anything to drink today, he may well have wet himself. Lucky him that he hasn't. But can anything about him really be called lucky right now? In all of his wallowing over Mikado, the infamous Heiwajima Shizuo had slipped his mind. He'd hardly been listening when he heard about it in the first place.

Time to take a single step back.
]

In the flesh?

[He... can't really justify speaking first in this situation.]
mellowyellow: (t-shirt)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit! [Fistpump!] It'll work out 'cause you'll make it work out!
mellowyellow: (3)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Masaomi is just glad laughing is happening at all.]

Spiriting away, even.

[A chuckle.]

But aaaaah... [Mini-swoon!] I guess you're right! It's just... boobs like that, they wait for no man.
techissexy: (sexy as all hell)

[personal profile] techissexy 2012-08-18 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ what can she say, she's a curious bug. ]

It's gotta start somewhere. All collections, especially the weird ones, have a beginning. C'mon, what was it? Too many horror movies as a kid? A desperate need to outdo those tacky Halloween decorations?
mellowyellow: (i'm sprung)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Scoooore~! Flirt buddy, get! [He hop-skips his way out of Rin's personal space.] Forward march! Ladies, ho!

[He's... just going to take off running. Rin might want to follow; he might not.]
gatto: I TOLD YOU I'D BORROW YOUR ICONS, CARMEN (pic#4490828)

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-18 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He follows at a more relaxed pace, though it's still closer to a run than a walk.

Flirt buddy?? Well, he's not exactly planning to flirt with any girls...! But he'll humor the guy for now.]


Where are you gonna find these girls, eh? I haven't seen that many of them!
sockswithsandals: (i'm going to rip you apart)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-18 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
I mean it, there's nothing special.

[He is just weird. But will she keep asking...] School legends, if you want. "The ghost in the old school building." Like that.

We'll leave it at that for now. Poor boy.

[After that, it turned out that some teenager set the hit out on him back then. It's not that he didn't think someone that age could, given how Raijin High was. Was there a time when he had been actually interacting with teens, save for Mairu and Kururi? He... couldn't really remember. Ah, there was that girl with the glasses (whatever her name was,) but that was after the shooting. ... Right?

[So what was his problem?

[With Masaomi having taken a step back, Shizuo closed the gap when reaching for the collar of the shorter boy's shirt.]

Then you're gonna take responsibility for that hit, right?

[Quick Kida, explain!]

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-18 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He's the most ironic, Dave. Not just the clothes and Crispin Freeman voice, but even the name. He's the coolest man around wearing clothes that his brother gave him as a gift.]

Shizuo Heiwajima.

[Well, this was going better than the last couple of people he ran into.]

mellowyellow: (impossible)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaaw, that's okay. Rin doesn't actually have to talk to any of the girls. He just has to put up with Masaomi talking to all of them.]

Seek and ye shall find!

[i.e. He's just as clueless as Rin.]
8fold: (for all these years.)

[personal profile] 8fold 2012-08-18 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shrugs. ]

Well, you're doing a shitty job at it!
outfoxing: (the cure for your life)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-18 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's hard not to laugh at such a great display of hammy theatrics, and he's definitely seen his fair share of hammy theatrics.]

Maybe you should aim to ask for a name before a room number, hm? Unless you have it already, of course! You could just look her up on this-- [he holds up his joyphone, which had been tucked to his side] --if that's the case, which would save you time and trouble. Ah, but I don't want to hold you up for long if that isn't the case. [politely sidestepping a little!]
terribubble: (SEA-DWELLER * of the deep blue)

[personal profile] terribubble 2012-08-18 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
A seadweller! Duh, can't you see my gills?
mellowyellow: (my chick bad)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-18 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shizuo doesn't have to hold him in place. Just the man's presence has him trapped. As if he'd run from a man like that. That's just asking for a more painful death.

He also doesn't deserve any kind of easy escape. Just when he'd finally stepped up to take responsibility for shit just like this, he only managed to make everything worse. How can he expect anything to go well for him now?

So much for getting away for a while.
]

I-

[Oh, what's the point? He chuckles humorlessly, the courage of someone with nothing to lose.]

Everything.

Everything got out of hand. And I let it happen. So... yeah. [A small, rather helpless shrug.] I can do that.

ushishishi: (the fuck is that a blimp)

The comedy duo of the apartments

[Clenching the knives in his hands, he watched Shizuo march over to that faucet. He wouldn't put it past the man to pull it up- such things were common to see back home. But as he struggled with it, Bel saw his chance.]

[Springing towards him, he launched two knives directly at Shizuo's chest, running straight at him the entire time. He had to backpedal a bit when Shizuo's fist headed straight for his face- for once, Boss's poor temper was a good thing. It gave him the practice needed dodging things to duck his head out of the way at the last moment.]
ushishishi: (Whatever. I'm getting cheese fries.)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-19 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Accidents can be amusing, no?

[Of course, just to be an ass, he keeps giggling. It doesn't seem like he's going to throw any knives quite yet- the reaction he had from this guy was funny enough.
carsharkkonishi: (live and learn)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-19 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying my best, and that's all I can do.
mellowyellow: (domino)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-19 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
You know how it is! It's just not the same over the phone!

[He inches around the man and speeds up when he gives him the room to do so, grinning all the while.]

It's just not as satisfying if I can't gaze longingly into her breasts~!

I mean eyes.

[Winkwink.]

[He shrugs at that answer. Well, it should be an adventure, at the very least!]

Lead the way, President Kida!
mellowyellow: (run the show)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-19 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Anytime, Vice President Rin!
adieuche: (can you hear me tick)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-19 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? I was under the impression that royalty had rather strict codes of conduct to follow.

[Behind Bel's back, Yagyuu allows a hint of distaste into his expression before it's smoothed away.]

I will definitely remember to be prepared, Belphegor-san.
adieuche: (you must be a brave man)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-19 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[A faintly puzzled look crosses his face though he gives her a small smile.]

Human? You mean you're not human? [He hadn't wanted to be rude and say anything about the horns and skin, but it hadn't occurred to him that instead of it being cosplay, she just wasn't human.]

Doubles is a tennis term. You play matches with a partner instead of alone.
