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.

-- and look what happened.

You made me trust you, and then you played me like an idiot! And now --

[ His breath hitches, shoulders trembling violently. ] And now everything -- everyone -- is gone! Because of you. [ His grip tightens once again on his partner's shirt, but this time... it's less like he's on the verge of punching the other boy, and more like he's just desperate for a lifeline. ] ... because of me...

Look what happened, indeed!

[ it's a little funny (sad) how easy he takes the news. after all, as Sanae had said on the day, he had felt a little down, and seeing the little group gathered at Hachiko had made him feel a little bit like...

... well... not like it really matters anymore. this Neku had none of that. this Neku had wanted, first and foremost, to win.

if Neku's crying affects him, then Joshua doesn't show it on his face. he simply tucks his fingers into the boy's grip, pulling the white-knuckled hold apart, calmly, slowly, like there's no hurry at all to pull this Neku apart by the seams.
]

Don't be so hard on yourself, dear. If I was in your position, I'd shoot me, too.

[ the saddest part is how true that statement is. ] ... Then again, it's probably because I don't trust myself...
