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.

Oh.

[Elijah...wonders how he didn't notice it before, but it must've been due to the terrible monochrome color scheme here. Really. Orange? Half the buildings were coated with the stuff.]

Well, then. We should take a look around. [The Library could wait. He had a feeling this would be one of the few chances they would have to get a good look at the place. It doesn't seem very far away either.]

[ Folds the map back into his coat pocket.. ]

RECOVERjoy headquarters then? [ Well they weren't too far from it anyway, it looked as if the main part of the city centered around the tower.

When they arrived, Meredith was less than impressed by the amount of security that stood around the building. ]


Are we in the right place.. [ But indeed they were. VERY SUSPICIOUS. ]

I can't imagine any other buildings taller than this one... [Elijah squints, and steps just a bit closer.]

Do you see it too? [He says, over his shoulder, and again the image before his vision fizzles and...shimmers.]

...Very interesting.[Elijah smiled, catching the first guard out of the corner of his eye, followed by the very last at the end of the building. Ever standing, completely still.] A headquarters? More like a fortress, I'd say.

[He extends a hand towards the shimmering barrier.]
