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.

[ Sheryl-san.

She failed Sheryl. She hadn't been able to protect her while Alto was away. Did she even desire to feel so happy to see him again?

Sheryl-san. ]


... I, I'm... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

[He doesn't hear her for a moment, or rather, doesn't listen to her words immediately. He's too absorbed in the fact that she's there, but after a second he blinks at her words, pulling back now to look at her.

Her apology makes him think, remembering the last time he saw her and the fact that her song didn't stop the Vajra. Is she really apologizing for that, if she survived?]


Ranka... it wasn't your fault! It's okay...
cosmicella: (❝SWITCH.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-12 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hu- Huh?

[ She manages out after a sniffle. She looks up at him with a slightly confused look. Does he know about Sheryl? But, how? He hadn't returned at home yet so why...?

... She's kind of scared and hesitant to ask but... She has to do this. ]


... Alto-kun, then you know about what happened to Sheryl-san...?

[Furrowing his brow, Alto gazes down at her some concern. If Ranka had managed to escape, did that mean she'd something happen to Sheryl before she'd escaped?

Holding onto her arms, he grips her tighter, his voice rising as he goes on.]


What happened to Sheryl?? Did you see something before you got underground?

[ Underground...? She's getting even more confused. What's he talking? Did he mean at the jail? That was a long time ago by now, though... ]

Eh...? But... I wasn't underground before here...

[ As for that first question... She grips her hands together at her sides. No amount of mental preparation could prepare her for this in all honesty... ]

... I'm sorry, I couldn't protect Sheryl-san in your stead, Alto-kun. Even though... I really wanted to...

[While it's still worrying him to hear her talking that way about Sheryl, he's more confused about her first statement. Her expression tells him something more is off here.

He wanted to accept that she was safe and transported to his place along with him, but the fact is that he signed up for this. Which means she must have as well. It all gives him a bad feeling, and when he goes on his voice is lower.]


Ranka... You escaped from the Vajra, didn't you? We got split up after they began attacking and when I was able to get out...

[Just as her own confession is difficult for her bring out, the failure to protect on his part makes him grit his teeth, looking off to the side.]

Everyone was gone, everything was destroyed. I didn't think you survived it...

[ That's way different from what she remembers. Maybe it's not the what happened for her but it's what happened for him. Alto wouldn't lie about something like that. The experience must have really hurt for him. So she finally hugs him back. In her own attempt to comfort him.

She stays quiet for a bit while trying to think. To be honest, this is all really confusing to her and she's not really a protege like Luca but... It sounds like to Alto right now, the Vajra were still an enemy. After sometime, she let's him go. ]


... I... Um, you know, the last time I saw Alto-kun, you disappeared. I don't know where you went. But you went somewhere far away. We've been waiting all this time for you to come home.

[ ... ]

That's what I remember...

[The hug does bring him comfort, more than he realized it would, and his own arms raise to encircle her more loosely now. The silence keeps him thinking too, trying to put together all the pieces that aren't adding up.

He lets her go when she pulls back, frowning as he listens to her explanation. He disappeared and they were waiting for him...? He couldn't imagine doing something like that, especially not with what had been going on when he left.]


...We don't remember the same things.

[personal profile] towardsthesky 2012-08-13 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...! What do you remember? Did you already have your concert? [Or even further back, if not.] What about Gallia 4?
cosmicella: (❝BLURRY SKY.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-14 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Alto definitely wouldn't disappear without warning like that and she knows. But, if she told him that he disappeared with the Vajra Queen, she worries he would misunderstand what happened. Since to him the Vajra are still an enemy...

But Gallia 4...? Did he mean her first concert or...? ]


Um... I had my first concert already! Ah, but that was a long time ago already.

A long time ago?

[He looks puzzled but if there's something strange going on with their memories, Alto figures it must have something to do with this world.]

This place must do something to what we remember... that's all I can think of, but who knows if we can get any information right now. Thing's don't seem very clear-cut.

[He looks over her more though, eyes clouded with some lingering concern.]

You're okay though?
cosmicella: (❝ DREAMER.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[ Not... exactly okay. She's been trying to be as cheerful as she can but- She can't stop thinking about Sheryl. Especially with Alto here now. ]

I-

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. And adds a little fist pump to boot! ]

Mm! I'll- It'll be okay! I'm fine and with Alto-kun being here now it makes me want to work even harder than before!

[He watches her closely, the look in his eyes saying that he doesn't really buy it. Jeez... she was always pushing herself.

But there's no time right now to dwell over it, at least not for Alto. If she's going to strong, at least it's at a time when they need to be figuring this place out.]


We'll be okay... Let's see what we can find out, okay?

[ooc: maybe somehow we can go to the log from here?]
cosmicella: (❝MY LAST.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-17 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods in response. ]

Yeah.

(( Yup, I'm fine with that! ))
