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.

Then I won't go away until you do.

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... fine, then I'll leave.

[ And with that, he's turning away sharply and trying to stalk off in some random direction. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're not getting away from him that easily, not when he's walking behind you after picking himself up from off the ground]
partnered: (86)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WALK WALK WALK

-- And then he's turning back to face Marx, annoyed. ]


Stop following me. I'm not going to be friends with you, so give up already.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not even for joypoints? I thought you want to change what went wrong in your world.

[You don't get to hurt anyone in this mission, so why ignore the chance to get free points? You won't have this opportunity again, that's for sure]
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

[ He tenses up at that, hands clenching into fists. ] I --

[ Bingo, Marx. You hit the nail on the head. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The jester smiled. Is he about to hit a home run?]

Let's make a deal. You become my friend and I'll leave you alone for a week, okay?
partnered: (85)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

I don't think that's how making friends works.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then how do we become friends?
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
... have you seriously never made a friend before or something?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[There was never a need for him to make any until now]
partnered: (85)

1/2

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ ... insert an awkward pause. ] Uh.
partnered: (82)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But he doesn't really have time to teach people how to make friends, so... ]

Okay, whatever. We're friends. Happy now?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Very happy.

[With that out of the way, he can spend the rest of his time making a few more friends to meet the requirements for the mission. He'll deal with Neku another time, since he now knows the one thing that can be used against him later on]

Now I'll keep my end of the bargain. See you in a week, frriieenndd!
partnered: (11)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-13 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
... great. I'll be looking forward to it.

[ The most sarcastic of sarcasms, def. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Marx doesn't care about your sarcasm, Neku.

He's going to see you in less than a week, so prepare yourself for his early return]
