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.

[and then he gives the wall an enthusiastic pat, like it's done an excellent job at being eye-searing but not horrendously dull.]

White would be much worse! That's the color of choice at the place I work, so the orange will be a nice break for a little while.

I guess, it's just...

[ Instinctively, his eyes track the motion of that finger -- so he's back to staring at the blank wall, face knitted together with thought. ] ... CAT seems like the kind of person who wouldn't need someone else's help to make his happiness, y'know? It's just hard to imagine him being here.

[ But he blinks at that, gaze switching back to the other. ]

... are you a doctor or something? [ All white workspace? The first thing that comes to mind is a hospital. ]
outfoxing: (it's probably legal somewhere)

[Some of the reasons he had been referring to had absolutely nothing to do with obtaining happiness, but he keeps that to himself, nodding instead.]

I understand. CAT must be a very impressive individual, both in and out of the realm of art. [He folds his hands neatly behind his back after that, giving the wall one last appraising look.]

I'm a counselor, actually. The middle school I currently work at isn't really big on color schemes that aren't neutral like beige or white, but I think that could be said of most schools.
