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.

I don't know if I'm really feeling up to swinging...[She hops off the sawing.]

I should let someone else use it..

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turned to the left, he turned to the right. He even looked up towards the sky and down on the ground to see no one nearby. It's just them in an otherwise empty park]

But no one else is here.

[She stops, turning to put a hand on the chain of the swing. She looks like she's reconsidering.]

But someone might come..

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll give them a turn if they show up, okay? Now come on, Let's swing!

[He continues on with his swinging while waiting for Rhyme to join in. It's only a matter of time, right?]

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-12 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She does eventually, swinging slowly and looking around.]

Was there something you wanted?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Just wanted to know if you would like to be my friend.
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-12 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Um....we can, if you want.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay then, we're friends!

[So far so good. Just a few more to befriend and he'll have those joypoints.]

I'm Marx. What's your name?
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-12 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles softly.]

Rhyme.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Why did you look so down earlier?
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I was just thinking about a sad thing, that's all. [Trying to look cheerful for him.]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He continues to swing, wondering what that sad thing might be. It's ammo, that's for sure, but will he be able to retrieve it so soon?]

We can talk about it if you want to.
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm...I'll be fine.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[He figured it wouldn't be this easy, but that's okay; there's always another time.]

Hey Rhyme? Remember that you can always trust me. We're friends now, so I won't let anyone hurt you.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I do, don't worry.

[She looks at him.]

Can you promise that?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I promise.

[Shame it's a promise Marx will never keep]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[His swinging soon slowed to a stop, being he's no longer interested in playing anymore. There are other friends to look for and/or weaknesses to find, cause he's going to need them and fast.]

Hey hey hey, I'm going to go and look for more friends. I'll talk to you later, okay?
carsharkkonishi: (Fear is stronger than love)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. [And as soon as he's out of sight, she'll go back to being gloomy.]
