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.

[Rin's not quite looking at him now, but he's still smiling, almost carefree.] Yeah, knowing you worked hard to get what you wanted is the best. I can really admire people who do that.
outfoxing: (living is easy)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-12 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense! Being "hard working" is a trait that's almost universally appreciated, after all.

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-12 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, and it's even better when they're real persistent, eh?
outfoxing: (oh you)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-13 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Naturally. Persistence is a valuable trait. [a small pause, and an even smaller shrug.] Well, in small doses.

Hm? Don't like it when people are too persistent?
outfoxing: (this place is full of weirdos!)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-13 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it doesn't bother me on a personal level! In fact, I think persistence is one of the best traits a person could have. It takes a lot of persistence to get over hurdles in life, both mental and physical.

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-13 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, I agree! And it takes a real amazing kind of person to never give up, no matter what! Don't you agree?
outfoxing: (it's probably legal somewhere)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-13 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. It's a true shame that those sorts of people don't get the recognition they deserve from most. I'll show gratitude for determination when I can, but I'm only one person.

[personal profile] gatto 2012-08-14 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.] That just means we have to tell them that even more, yeah?
outfoxing: (you silly kids)

[personal profile] outfoxing 2012-08-14 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
True. Leading by example is always good idea. [nods to himself, and then shifts a little to stare in the direction of the park.]

Anyway, there are a few other places I want to look at before returning to my room. It was good meeting you, Rin. Feel free to get in contact again if you'd like, familiar faces are always a good thing to have on hand!

[He waves, as enthusiastic as ever.]

See ya, Kudou! We're gonna be here a while, I'm sure we'll see each other again!
