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.

ROOM 206

[ Yaaay, a cramped little room for the somewhat socially-awkward teen. This is just dandy.

Maybe he's a little afraid of looking away from his phone, or he's just flat-out irritated that he needs to talk to people. Wait, no, he's pretty cool with that! Or.. something.
]

... T'ch.

[ Courage, man! You can do this! We're all here for the same reason! ]

Uhh.. Hey. Small place, huh?

[ Try a socially awkward adult. Meredith doesn't quite feel comfortable sitting on the bed and talking so he's already stood up to look out the window. Looking incredibly thoughtful, he takes a moment before he turns around... Well, realizing this kid was talking to him. ]

Yeah.. [ Meredith realizes he's left his suitcase on his bed, so he busies himself closing it up and sliding it underneath, doing absolutely nothing to motion he's settling in. ]

I don't.. actually plan to stay here for very long. [ Making friends 101. ]

Huh? You mean... in here, or what?

[ Like being cooped up in this tiny place did anything productive. ]

Living here.

[ Simply. He was.. honestly considering just leaving the room then, but, well, that would have been rude. They had to make friends. Meredith pressed his lips in a line, this kid certainly looked like trouble... He'd just have to wait and see. ]

My name is Meredith.. if you'd like. [ Slowly loosening up here. ]

[personal profile] steelchairs 2012-08-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah! Gotta' get on out of here and all. Play the game, right?

[ what the hell is wrong with you Kanji. ]

[ Well, at least he seems enthusiastic. Meredith huffs a small laugh. ]

In this project.. I have somewhere I need to be.

[ A moment. ]

Where are you from? [ and your name, gosh kid manners!! ]

[Alto's pretty used to cramp living spaces, coming from living on the SMS barracks. Even rooming with people he doesn't know well doesn't phase him much.

But this situation's a little different. He glances at Kanji, sizing him up a little from his spot sitting on his bed before glancing away with a nonchalant shrug.]


Guess we can't expect to get put up in a mansion or something.

[ Mansion? Whoa, that wasn't exactly on his mind. ]

Well hey, that doesn't sound so bad.

[ He also feels like this man is eyeballing him. He seems a little bit stiffer, too, his brow furrowing. ]

[He turns his gaze back towards Kanji, looking slightly unimpressed.]

We're not here for a vacation.
