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.

[Yep he wasn't about to give up a chance to scope out the HQ of this city, not when the notion that they could supposedly back up these promises of theirs was the driving factor behind him signing up in the first place.

He looks over only when spoken to, but immediately nods in agreement.]


Impressive people, I would imagine.

I'm Elliot.

[A few steps and he's behind her, gloved hands on the chains as well.]

I'm going to give the swing a bit of a push, okay? Not a big one - just a small one. Don't be scared, alright? It's fun. I promise.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ho ho ho ho! Oh ho ho ho hoooo...!

[Whether the screaming worked or not, he got a reaction out of Neko and that's enough to make Marx fall on the floor in laughter]

I got you! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
guielliotine: (//Holy Shit)

[personal profile] guielliotine 2012-08-11 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Where did she fall? Why, into Elliot's arms, of course! Although he might be screaming and making a scene, he's not going to let a girl fall on the ground on his watch! No way. Thankfully, his reflexes suck far less than his social skills do.

Consider yourself caught and out of harms way.]

[ wow they're in a library, you rude, loud person.

alas, Joshua's ruder still.
] I'm a bit partial to Sailor Kepler.

Is that a neck condition, or is there something stuck between my teeth?

[ After his earlier encounter with Marx, Neku had at least wised up enough to keep his headphones dangling around his neck instead of clamped firmly to his head. The last thing he needs is to paint himself as kind of walking target for every wannabe prankster that comes strolling by, right?

. . .

And it turns out to be a good thing that he's on high alert, because --

Suddenly there's a familiar voice ringing out behind him, and Neku feels a flare of warning, warning, danger, danger go spiking through his system. Immediately, he whirls sharply to face the other boy -- his once-and-former partner -- eyes going wide with a sudden cacophony of emotion. There's recognition, then raw shock, then confusion, then rage, and... an unmistakable flash of fear. The last time he saw that face, after all, it was on the other side of a gun aimed his way. ]


Wha --?!

Ha!

[Yotsuya claps his hands down on his knees and leans forward as if he has something very important to share, in case anyone forgot how serious he is about owning this tiny mattress.]

That's too bad. Move.

[The insincerity of Belphegor's tone doesn't escape Yagyuu, but the only indication he gives is a slight tightness around his eyes; the polite curve of his smile doesn't so much as flicker.]

I hope we'll get along reasonably well, then. I don't see why we shouldn't, since we both intend to succeed in this game.

Jos --

[ He chokes on the name as it tries to claw free of his throat, hands clenching and unclenching at his sides.

Dammit. ]
Why --
partnered: (86)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ He takes a step back, eyes guarded and hackles raised. Fight or flight. ]

What the hell --?! Why did they let you --?!

[Oh, of course he's heard that! But he's not about to take that lying down!

He crosses his arms and frowns, downright pouting by now.]
Hey! How rude! You're not gonna make friends like that!

[personal profile] pneumonia 2012-08-11 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
( !!! and she stares at him with her hands on her lap. )

Shiro is hungry, be my friend and let's get something to nom on~!

-- Are you behind all of this too ?!

[ There's a jerky sweeping gesture; oh shit, how many times does he have to fall for this crap? ] Is this your idea of another damn game?
guielliotine: (//NO WAY)

[personal profile] guielliotine 2012-08-11 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Then how do you suggest I make friends?! I only really ever needed one!

[And now that friend is dead. Yay. Or at least he thinks they're dead. Life is hard bro.]

[Time...to put the weird girl down. Yeah. It's embarrassing and improper to hold a lady for a long time like that anyway.]

Uh...

[It's an unintelligent sound, but what else can he do aside from stare. Be her friend and get food. Might as well.]

Alright, fine. I'll be your friend. [For food though...] I don't know how we'll get food, though. We need points for that, don't we?

[He lowers his arms, the camera still held loosely in one hand.]

Impressive people who really don't want us getting in. That's a lot of security for a game, y'know?
partnered: (82)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Har har, you're such a riot.

[ Spoken in an absolute deadpan, and accompanied by an irritated tic in his jaw. ] Stop, please, you're killing me over here.

『Unless you were tricked into coming here, everyone's in it for themselves. That's what the ad said, after all. I certainly would like to be happy, but that's an impossibility. How sad!』

( he peers at her, aw look at that, she reminds him of something very familiar. )

『Or are you here for someone else? I'm only asking because I think we should get to know each other. We'll be here for a while.』

[Having already had the dubious pleasure of meeting their third roommate himself, Yagyuu is perhaps understandably wary when he approaches the other person in their room. At least this one isn't brandishing knives or smiling fit to rival a shark.]

I'm not sure subtlety is something Belphegor-san cares for.
mellowyellow: (all the right moves)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-11 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
One second I was over there, and the next I was right here! That is not okay!

[But with a few extra seconds for his mind to catch up, whatever could have happened, he can see it's obviously the work of RECOVERjoy. Not exactly what he'd been expecting when he signed up. But at least-]

No matter how many fine ass ladies you drop a guy in a room with, you should at least give him a bit of a wave before you do it!

Points?

( she stands up and stares at him. seems she doesn't understand what the hell is happening, only that she is really hungry. )

How about we just steal it from others?

[No, Elijah doesn't mind- in fact he hasn't even started picking out what little piece of space he was going to reside in for the remainder of this excursion. He doesn't plan on sticking around very often...rather, as much as this game will permit him. He'll make due.]

Ah, well- [and he pauses, hard.]
plucks: (be friends with me)

[She dramatically nods, gripping the chains tight and showing just how ready she is by frowning in the face of danger! Clearly this meant impending flight or something like that. She just might get out with a scrape.

But Elliot promised it was fun and promises are as legit as it gets with Mary.]


Okay, Elliot. I'm ready!

Take off! [mary no.]
