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.

[Refraining from flinching turns out to take more effort than he'd thought, but he does manage it. Instead, his arm drops uselessly back to his side.

Mikado? Here? The fluttering feeling in his lower chest is nauseating.
]

I... haven't seen him.

[A quiet, anxious chuckle follows. He can't look her in the eye.]

But if this was hell, neither of you would be here.

[ It takes a moment, but her frame loses some of its steeliness and her shoulders relax. ]

What day is it?
mellowyellow: (listen to your heart)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Monday. [A beat.] Or it was this morning, anyway.

[ Not what she was looking for. Anri gives a polite nod, and then — makes a decision. Whatever's happened, he's still Kida. For now, until she can know for sure. ]

I didn't think I'd see you here. It's been a while since we've spoken, back home.

It's selfish, but... Kida-kun?
mellowyellow: (check yes juliet)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Excuse him. His head isn't exactly in the right place.

When she starts talking, actually talking to him rather than at him, he allows himself to feel some amount of relief, but he keeps his energy levels low. He can't just jump back into that carefree smile like he can with strangers, not with Anri.
]

It was a bit of a shock, yeah.

[He finds himself scratching the back of his neck and shrugs helplessly.]

But you know you can always ask, whatever it is.

[Though he's not entirely sure he can answer.]
compliant: (surrounded → first)

[personal profile] compliant 2012-08-12 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. I just — [ she flounders a little, looking a bit more like herself with it. ] I'm glad you're here with me.

[ Alive and in arm's reach, even if she's not reaching. You're Kida until she finds out otherwise. ]

[ Her brain is done breaking now. Promise. ]
mellowyellow: (not over you)

[Slowly, realization hits, and Masaomi's mild surprise morphs into genuine happiness, a soft, warm, contented smile rising to his lips as his eyes shine.

Anri. Anri is here, and it's okay. For now, at least, they can ignore what happened and just hang out together like they used to. Rip on Mikado and tease each other endlessly. If that isn't a step toward gaining happiness, he doesn't know what is.
]

Me too.

[Give him another moment.]

Anri-chan's erotic beauty will distract me from the horrible orange~

[ She blushes a little, her tremulous smile twitching with a held back giggle. ]

I don't really like it either.
mellowyellow: (a woman like you)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-12 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Nobody does. Nobody with eyes, at least.

[Now he takes another step closer, but it's not as purposeful anymore. It's a natural flow as he bends to see out the door over his friend's head.]

So what room did they drop Raira Academy's precious flower into? If it's not absolutely perfect, I'll have to complain to the manager.

[ She still recoils a little when he comes close, but does her best to suppress any outward sign. ]

[ Is this like a vampire thing? Tell someone where you live and then they can come in and suck your blood? Except it's inviting, and Kida's a ghost... or something... These are the thoughts Anri gets tangled in for a moment before answering: ]

104.
mellowyellow: (chicken noodle soup)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-13 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Anri. If only he knew her thoughts. She really is adorable.]

Well, if your roomies ever give you trouble, just call me, 'kay? [He waves the new smart phone through the air a bit before dropping it into his back pocket.] I'll make like lightning and scatter them.

[ She's rooming with Karkat. So far, it's not been ideal. :( ]

I suppose we should probably... trade numbers? [ Assuming ghosts can use phones. But, she did just see him hold it! Curiouser and curiouser. ]
mellowyellow: (miss independent)

[personal profile] mellowyellow 2012-08-14 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[That'll be a blast, for sure. Masaomi is rather lucky as far as his roommates are concerned.]

Sure thing. Already memorized mine.

[Of course one of the first things he'd explore would be the phone. Even though he just put it away, he hauls it out again just as quickly.]

We could even trade phones~
