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.

[Who was this girl, and why was she approaching him? Shizuo was just passing through and enjoying a smoke before this meeting. Not much of an expression on his face... yet.]

... Yeah?
soulfood: (yeah you're the best)

[Kyouko is not sure about the vibe she's getting from this fellow, but she plows right along anyway and gets straight to the point.]

I'm still looking for some friends to get those 200 points. You need any more?

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[For the first few seconds, he just stares. (Sharp tool in the shed, ain't he?)]

Ah... I guess.

[Because he's not completely sure though, he takes his own hideously orange phone out. Checking the app is enough to confirm that he hadn't, and if Kyouko managed a peek there'd be a whole section of -10 and +10 activity in a short period of activity. Definitely no gain of 200 points, though.]

Seems not. Who're you?

[What? The friends thing might not work without names. You should give yours then, Shizuo.]
soulfood: (chopstick master race)

[personal profile] soulfood 2012-08-13 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheesh, you people and your names. No, kidding, it makes a fine amount of sense for Kyouko to introduce herself first. Also, she sure wouldn't mind getting a peek at his point activity, but from where she's standing she can't get a good look without making what she's doing obvious.]

Kyouko Sakura. You?

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-13 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[... It was probably bad that he was wondering which was the first name in this case, wasn't it? Now that the bad joke has passed. It was weird, he hadn't seen red eyes since he had to fight all those weird 'Saika' people.]

Shizuo Heiwajima. Good to meet you.

[Because that's the proper thing to say, right? He should try that. Also while dealing with the cigarette with one hand, Kyouko might catch a small (or long, given how recently everyone's started) list of activity. Despite the 0 (or -10) at the very top of the app. The window of opportunity is short before the phone gets pocketed.]
soulfood: (is this engaging)

[personal profile] soulfood 2012-08-13 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kyouko catches a small glance. It's interesting information, but it doesn't affect her perception much at this stage. She's already a little wary of everyone here.]

Same.

So, what's with the getup? You work somewhere fancy, or what?

[personal profile] kingshizuchan 2012-08-14 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Plus anyone that meets and goes against a brat with knives is bound to have similar activity.]

Ah... Not in particular. Got into the habit of it, I guess.
