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.

Um, sure!

But don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for myself or anything. I could never do that!

[She's smiling throughout the conversation but is acting embarrassed for some reason at the assumption. What is achieving happiness for one's self? She isn't that advanced at human emotion yet.]
minus: (know-nothing)

『Unless you were tricked into coming here, everyone's in it for themselves. That's what the ad said, after all. I certainly would like to be happy, but that's an impossibility. How sad!』

( he peers at her, aw look at that, she reminds him of something very familiar. )

『Or are you here for someone else? I'm only asking because I think we should get to know each other. We'll be here for a while.』

I just wanted to do something for my community and it seemed like a great way to make any wish come true.

[That's true enough. He doesn't really need to know more than that. Let's try operation smooth conversation changer. Focus on your problems, dude.]

Don't say it's impossible to be happy though. You just need to find that special something or someone!
minus: (i hate onions!)

『That's--!』

( It's like someone turned on a faucet. He breaks out into an alarming amount of tears, complete with terrible sniffing sounds, as though his emotions simply overflowed onto the floor with her words. He furiously scrubs at his face, biting back garbled words, and just as suddenly as he'd begun to shed tears -- they're gone.

Either he's absolutely nuts, or this guy has a masterful control of his own [most likely shallow] emotions.
)

『Such noble and pure intentions, it puts a guy like me to shame! You're too kind, you're far too kind! Yes, with your kind words, I feel invigorated - ready to face this trial and persevere!』

[Oh my god???

This is not what was suppose to happen. She waves her hands in some sort of confused shushing motion. Calm down? Please? What is happening?

And then they stop. What- I- What?]


It's really not that great! I don't deserve any sort of praise! But if you feel better because of it, then- I guess that's fine.

[Please don't praise her. She isn't being humble. She really, really doesn't deserve it. Please stop. She is getting so frazzled.]
minus: (i can cry on command)

『Oh no, it doesn't make me feel better. I just thought a nice compliment might gain me your good graces. I mean - we are going to be roommates, why not be friends as well.

I'm also trying to accomplish this mission, but that's a given. So hey, why not be friends?』

( is he brutally honest or lying through his teeth which is is gosh )

[personal profile] iknowthatfeel 2012-08-13 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[...

It's definitely a new and exciting way to deal with communicating with other people, that's for sure. Just going to go with it.]


Okay, let's be friends. It helps me out with my mission too. Already friends helping each other out, right?
