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.

.....It...it was a dream? Why? Why am I even here? I-I was going to make everything wonderful again....

[And she's crying, crumbling down to the ground.]

1/SPAM IDK...

[ Oh no --

Oh, no, no, no. What did he do ?! ]
partnered: (79)

[ Okay, note to self: if anyone else from home shows up, then there's no point telling them about what really happened, right? If they've been given little dreams of being happy post-Erasure, then... who is he to take that away from them? If all his truth can do is hurt his friends, then...

He'd rather seal it up, lock it away, and bear it alone. ]
partnered: (75)

[ But --

Priorities. He has to fix this somehow.

... so he goes down on one knee, reaching out tentatively to touch her shoulder. Should he... hug her again? What're you supposed to say in a situation like this? He's just now learning how to make friends with people, so all of this seems a little hardmode. ]
I... Rhyme, look... don't give up, okay?
partnered: (56)

DONE.

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-13 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
We're both here, right? So we have a chance to fix it for everyone.

[ He nods, almost as if he's convincing himself. ] ... everyone back home is counting on us. So don't give up. We'll fix it, we have to fix it. We'll... [ Wow, he's... really not good at pep talks. ] ... we'll figure it out, I promise.
carsharkkonishi: (a smile can go a long way)

[She wipes at her eyes, trying to smile at him.]

Okay. I guess my dream was kind of off, anyways. Shiki looked different because of her entry fee, and Beat was my brother. That makes no sense, right?
partnered: (100)

[ He flinches, unable to hide his immediate reaction to those words --

How the hell could she know that stuff?

... could something have scrambled up when she was in her Noise form? Like... she absorbed stuff that she doesn't consciously remember...? ]
partnered: (34)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-15 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And crap, he doesn't want to lie to her, but... ]

... I, uh. [ Dammit. ] ... yeah, I guess that would be kind of weird.
carsharkkonishi: (there is no stupid questions)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-08-16 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[She's to perceptive for that, Neku. Now she looks at him with worry.]

Is something wrong, Nelu? You looked really surprised when I said that I thought Beat was my brother and Shiki looked different.
