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.

[ushishishi]

...

A troll.

[Did he stumble into one of Fran's storytime illusions or something. And was that an insult he detected?!]

[Still, he can't help but give the girl a few small giggles- how cute, she was so proud of it.]

Empress Fairy, was it? You should know your manners, then, to introduce yourself to fellow royalty.

[terribubble]

It's Feferi! Sheesh, maybe there are something wrong with your human ears too.

[ buuu. ]

What are you even Prince of?

[ushishishi]

There's nothing wrong with my ears, fairy. Perhaps you should have your fins looked at.

[Is she a mermaid? She must be a mermaid.]

Everything I want~ The prince's home country isn't here, so this is my domain now.

[terribubble]

I wouldn't say that.

[ wow this person is rude. ]

That doesn't sound like a prawnsible title to me.

[ushishishi]

I never questioned your title, little empress. Or maybe I should?

[He snickers a bit. Yep. Rude.]]

...What sort of title is it? [Prawnsiwhatnow bel does not speak pun]

[terribubble]

Well unlike you I actually had a planet to reign!

[ she's almost teasing. ]

Empress of Alternia. [ haaa well he'll have to get used to her puns. ] So what's your home country of whatever?

[ushishishi]

Alternia, hmm? Never heard of it. Is that the imaginary planet of trolls and fairies?

[Maybe Fran's from there.]

'shishi! I can't tell you that, empress. It'd cause an international crisis.

[terribubble]

There aren't any fairies!

[ god, when will she find a nice prince around here? she's quietly grimacing over eridan for a few moments before saying: ]

Well, I don't know if I should believe you but I guess that doesn't really matter. Whatever keeps your boat afloat.

[ushishishi]

[This is certainly not the place to look for one 8(]

It would do you best to believe me, Fairy~

[Apparently this is her nickname. Sorry. All roomies get one.]

[His smile becomes just a bit menacing. He has issues with being called a fake, after all.]

[terribubble]

[ well it's too late, because that is what she will call you now.

she's not too happy about the fairy thing either so we can call this even. ]

I said whatever didn't I? [ nope, she don't care. as a girl that was part of a troll caste where killing was normal what would she be afraid of. ] Besides, I don't get how these human royalty thing works. I didn't even think you guys had that with your race being how it is and everything.

[ushishishi]

[Fair's fair, but Bel's ego won't let him think it is...]

[Being unafraid is a good place to be with this guy.]

'Mm? What do you think humans are like? Don't lump me in with the rest of the trash.

[terribubble]

Are you not human?

[ huh. she's genuinely curious. ]

[ushishishi]

'shishi! Of course the prince is human. I'm of a higher class than most of them, obviously.

[...It's the bangs, isn't it.]

[terribubble]

Well, I think you're suppose to help humans! That's what royalty should do!

[ haha clashing views.

this should be fun. ]

[ushishishi]

[hahaha

he finds this hilarious

and the snickers reflect that.]

A royal does what he likes. That's why we're royalty, you know? Because we're better than those below us. We deserve whatever we want.

[terribubble]

That's horribubble, and a stupid ideal!

[ omg she's so worked up she's using fish puns again. ]

We are not better than anyone else!

[ushishishi]

Then why are we royalty, Empress? Why not anyone else?

[Bel, on the other hand, puts his hands behind his head and grins.]

[Huh. She mispronounced another word. Does she have an impediment...?]

Because we were born better than all of them, of course. Perhaps this is just too alien of a concept for something like you.

[Oh yeah he can pun!!! sort of]

[terribubble]

Or maybe it's because we're the better race!

[ god.

it's true that feferi did think humans were weak, lesser than the trolls, but she doesn't exactly underestimate them. okay, but sometimes she does. ]

We're here to help and cull for one another. [ a beat, just so they're clear ] As in care. Our mission is to make fronds you know?

[ushishishi]

Watch your alien mouth. The prince is far superior to anyone, human or not.

[Well if it helps Bel's a little... alien-racist too?]

[He's back to smiling in a second, though. Then again, it seems that he never stops for all that long.]

'shishi! Making friends for points is hardly as noble as you want to be.

[He's starting to get her odd pun speech impediment thing down.]

[terribubble]

[ IT'S NOT A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. oh, if only feferi knew what he thought. ]

Welll, if you don't want points, suit yourself!

[ushishishi]

[He doesn't know Troll quite yet ok]

Of course I want the points. The prince is going to win this competition, you know? It'd make no sense to pass a pathetically easy mission up.

[terribubble]

[ huh. ]

Hypocrite. Who would want to become fronds with you?

[ushishishi]

'Shishi~! I wasn't talking about my self back then, empress.

Everyone wants to be friends with me, because I'm a prince. [Also he'll stab them if they don't. That too.]

[terribubble]

That's stupid. I'd like to see you try.

[ she's so sure he won't make friends.

you know, minus the stabbing threat. ]

[ushishishi]

I can make friends easily~

[Even if he. didn't really have any back home. Because of the stabbing thing.]

Is that a bet you want to lose?
