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.

[Unlucky roommate #1 spared his new phone a glance, saw the words "make friends," shuddered and got up to skulk around. He is currently skulking the way of looking under his new bed. Is it spooky under here... (no)

It's awfully hard to stay inconspicuous in a room where everything is apparently bright orange, though, so he doesn't bother pretending he's not there when some kid starts talking. He spares a look up before pulling on the sheets, disinterested.]


You're not subtle at all.
ushishishi: (It'd be a shame if something happened)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Walking right over to the bed, knives still in hand, he still doesn't drop that creepy, cheshire cat-like smile.]

It's only fair to give warning, isn't it?

[Holding up one knife out of the...god knows how many he has.]

That's one second down, two to go, peasant.
sockswithsandals: (guuuuurl)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow he is really busy making a mess over here...]

Sure. I guess.

[Pulling up sheets a bit longer, before he twigs about his personal space and turns to look at this smug little interloper.

Oh, knives. Why though...]
...Your timing skills could use work, too.
ushishishi: (crest got nothing on this bitch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[This is not the reaction Bel wants. Needs more...screaming. And begging for their lives. Things like that!]

[Leaaaaaning over him, still smiling as big as ever- man that hair is thick. You can't even see his eyes.]


Ah? Why's that?

[Bringing out knife number two.]

Two seconds.
sockswithsandals: (fuckin tall jerk)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[The problem is, Yotsuya is a bit recklessly stupid, sometimes. He does, instead, straighten up from his mess and gaze down at the Amazing Talking Mop, nonplussed.]

You're counting down for effect, but you started at three. It's been more than three seconds, you know, so... [he shrugs, tilting his head]

Well, it's distracting!
ushishishi: (I'm not the banana prince seriously)

[1/2]

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[You serious, bro.]

[You're worried about the effect?]

[God you sound like that frog.]

[For a moment, creepy smile is gone.]


Tch. What an idiot.
ushishishi: (brb wolverine impression)

[2/2]

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
But no matter.

[AAAAND like a lightbulb the smile is back on.]

Three~!

[With no warning (beside the whole count down thing), he brings down the third knife, steps forward, and moves to stab the other boy right in the face.]

[GOOD TIME TO RUN]
sockswithsandals: (HOW COULD YOU)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[YES, he is VERY CONCERNED about the effect, and he raises a dictating finger to illuminate precisely why when the mop smiles and, trust him,

he knows psychotic expressions when he sees them.

Running however is beyond him, and instead he just shrieks and throws himself to the side, toppling gracefully over the messed bed.]


Do you hate critique?!
ushishishi: (So fucking fetch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Shrieking and flailing away- Now that's more like it! You're learning.]

[As one knife is sent downward to where Yotsuya was, another flies at the wall just an inch away from his neck. That was an accident, right?]


A prince doesn't need criticism from idiot trash.

[More giggles. He apparently finds this hilarious.]

sockswithsandals: (you got peanut butter in my chocolate)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, hey, rude. He likes his neck, especially in one place. He looks sideways at the second knife, warily. What to do, what to do...]

I've been told my unsolicited comments can be grating.
ushishishi: (It'd be a shame if something happened)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ZIP. There's another one on the other side of his neck, at about the same distance.]

[How the hell does this guy control these things anyway.]


Ushishishishi! You're like that frog, but not as completely stupid looking. Still, it's a close contest~

[Leaning in closer. Probably too close for comfort.]

Give the prince one reason why I shouldn't skin you right here.
sockswithsandals: (what the fuck i no)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope nope nope hey wait a minute, is that the sound of something irrelevant to be distracted by?]

Do you spend a lot of time around frogs?

[Recoiling... this is a bit difficult! He raises his hands slowly, in case he needs to sacrifice his tendons to save an eyeball sometime soon. It's good to be prepared.]

I have terrible skin.
ushishishi: (So fucking fetch)

[personal profile] ushishishi 2012-08-11 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
'shishi! If I did, he'd be flayed soon enough.

[When Yotsuya does give him a reason, he stops and gets a contemplative look on his face.]

[...It looks like he's just staring, but maybe he's looking you up and down?]

[Eventually, he smiles again.]


I suppose that's true. Your face is disgusting.

[You bought some time!!!]
sockswithsandals: (ass ass ass ass)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He pauses, brows furrowed thoughtfully.]

Disgusting...
How close would you rank that to creepy?

[We're not saying he's a seasoned veteran of practicing making weird faces, but he's a seasoned veteran of practicing making weird faces.

He pauses again, then throws caution to the wind and tries to maneuver his way out of there, by ducking suddenly and, if he is quick enough, flailing across the room YEAH GO GO GO.]

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Having already had the dubious pleasure of meeting their third roommate himself, Yagyuu is perhaps understandably wary when he approaches the other person in their room. At least this one isn't brandishing knives or smiling fit to rival a shark.]

I'm not sure subtlety is something Belphegor-san cares for.
sockswithsandals: (you got peanut butter in my chocolate)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Not yet he isn't!! No, alright, he won't whip out knives, but his eyes are too big for his face and sometimes he gives off the impression of having too many teeth.

Currently, though, he is boggling senselessly at this other guy. Who is this, why are there more people in here? This is terrible. He frowns sharply, although that's probably easy to misinterpret as residual Bel-is-insane feelings.]


I might have noticed.
adieuche: (i'm a bomb)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't let his polite smile so much as wobble even in the face of Yotsuya's staring, even though he dearly wants to. There are more important matters than dwelling on his misfortune in acquiring terrible roommates, though - the business of playing this game.]

I'm Yagyuu Hiroshi. As it seems we're going to be roommates, why don't we also be... friends. [The slight pause before he says the word is deliberate; he means something closer to mutual allies against their other, knife-wielding acquaintance.] We do need to start gathering points, after all.
sockswithsandals: (dead girls can't pay checks)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Yotsuya's eyes narrow, as he gives Yagyuu an overt once-over. Looks like. A normal kid.

Well, it's better than Prince Stabby Mop Face, at least. He considers the obvious suggestion before he sighs. Kids are exasperating!!]


Yotsuya. Okay. We're friends. [But is it that easy...? He holds up a finger, signaling wait, then pulls his phone out of his pocket to thumb through to that point collector thing, or whatever the message said.

No, it is not that easy. Without looking at Yagyuu again:]
I think I have to talk to you.
adieuche: (what are you doing showing me no fear)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Yagyuu bears the examination patiently. It's not so different from being sized up by an opponent across the court. At Yotsuya's actions, his smile curves into something less stiffly practiced and more genuinely amused.]

I believe that is generally how friends are made, Yotsuya-san. We were instructed to learn about each other, after all.

[He takes a moment to adjust his glasses before he continues. There's no harm in playing the good student for the moment, especially when he thinks he will need at least one real ally in this room.]

Shall I go first? I'm a third year student at Rikkaidai Fuzoko and I like playing tennis. Doubles, to be exact.
sockswithsandals: (you got chocolate in my peanut butter)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Yotsuya raises an eyebrow. He puts the phone back in his pocket, tilts his head at Yagyuu, thoughtfully, and raises his other eyebrow. There's going to be a lot of scrutinizing in the near future.

The "good student" routine, though? It's dull. At least the maniac is interesting, in a fear-for-your-life way.]


All the things to describe about yourself and you pick "I like playing tennis." Hmm.

[He pauses, rolling his head on his shoulders because he is incapable of sitting still, and also to think. He doesn't... make a habit of talking about himself, exactly. In fact, he is here to create the illusion to a bunch of unrelated high schoolers that he doesn't exist, until he feels like going home.

Hmm.]


I like horror stories.
adieuche: (need a red overload)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[It may be dull act, but it's exactly that dullness Yagyuu is counting on to help him in the game. It serves him well enough at home, after all.]

I do like playing tennis.

[He says the words peaceably, unbothered by Yotsuya's disinterest. Most people don't play tennis like he and his partner do, after all. The next word's from the man's mouth make him stiffen slightly, though.]

Ah- Horror stories? What an unusual interest, Yotsuya-san.
sockswithsandals: (ass ass ass ass)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Tennis is boring. He can't get anything about a person from tennis. Who's ever heard of a haunted tennis ball? There's nothing there; it's shallow, at best, and as far as Yotsuya is concerned, just because he's taking a little vacation doesn't mean he has to leave his hobbies at home.

Yagyuu's reaction--that kind of reaction to the idea of horror stories? It could be promising. He shrugs.]


I'm not athletic enough for tennis. Everyone has passions.
adieuche: (counting down to detonation)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-11 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
And horror stories would be yours?

[Yagyuu attempts polite disinterest, but the slight tightening of his smile betrays his discomfort with the topic.]
sockswithsandals: (hello friends i am here)

[personal profile] sockswithsandals 2012-08-11 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Giving him discomfort is just encouraging, reflected in the way his eyes light up and he leans forward just- slightly-]

Yes! I love horror stories! The chilling atmosphere, the rising suspense, the mystery so close to being unraveled until that very moment where it reaches its climax--the scream! It's incredible.

[--at which point he has sort of spun away to throw his arms out and bask in his horror story emotions. After a moment he calms the hell down and turns back, dropping his arms again.]

You're not a fan, are you?
adieuche: (need a red overload)

[personal profile] adieuche 2012-08-12 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[That sound might be Yagyuu's teeth grinding. Maybe. He manages to stifle the reflex by the time Yotsuya turns around again, just barely.]

No, I wouldn't say that I'm particularly a fan.

[Downplaying is the name of the game!]
