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.

GROCERY STORE

[Eventually leaving the awkward meetings of room 110 behind, Tomoko's ended up wandering to where her stomach has decided to lead her first. A grocery store! Maybe she can pick up some fruit milk or...

She's checking her pockets for change when she stops to check prices on what's set out in the store, but freezes mid-search to boggle at them.
]

Huh? You have to buy food with joypoints, too?

[But how was she supposed to collect them if they had to be spent on things like food?!]
cleaves: (may feel like nothing are)

[Rena had stopped in for roughly the same reason. It makes sense for them to use a singular currency, she supposes, but it does make things a bit...difficult.]

Yes...it looks like that's the only thing stores here accept.
iwagmyhair: (o-ow ◘ and who is the knife?)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-15 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Except no one has any joypoints yet and you can only get two hundred right now even if you finish the mission and the lunch pack is twenty-five...

[Oh no, don't make her do math, world.]

I'm too young to have to make a budget!

1/2

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-15 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? You do?

[ She only wandered in here to see if they had like a map or something she could take. Now that she's here she might as well check the prices and stuff- ]
cosmicella: (❝HEARTBREAK DISCO.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-15 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ehhhh!? Seriously!? And so expensive too!
iwagmyhair: (worry ◘ but I can't find you)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
It could really add up... [She's going to lament over this a bit. They don't even have fruit milk!!!] What happens if someone can't get points at all? They won't be able to get anything!
cosmicella: (❝HERO.)

1/2

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's--
cosmicella: (❝A DREAM EATING GIRL ON THE SAND.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-16 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
The people in charge are just a bunch of bullies! That's just purposely adding on more problems!
iwagmyhair: (shock ◘ ROLLIN MAH DANGER SENSE)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-17 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
And it means we can't just save the points for... for... well, other things!

[Like her reason for being here!]

The sign-up never said anything about any of this extra stuff...
cosmicella: (❝GLASS HEART SPHERE.)

[personal profile] cosmicella 2012-08-17 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think they hid a lot of things from us on the sign-up...
iwagmyhair: (o-ow ◘ and who is the knife?)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-18 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Like nearly everything... I thought things like this were supposed to be in fine print or something like that.

[Shiki was still in the middle of wandering around when she noticed the grocery store. Wanting to see if there was anything she could buy (for future purposes of course), she freezes when she hears Tomoko's comment about using the joypoints to shop and...

welp....]


What!? No way, really? [SHE HASN'T MADE THREE FRIENDS YET THOUGH, FFFF]
iwagmyhair: (she told me not to step on the cracks)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-16 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Really! Look at the price tags!

[She'll even point at one of them.]

[personal profile] fashionenvy 2012-08-17 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[well this is grand. and it doesn't help that she's started to get a little bit hungry........]

But we don't even have joypoints yet!
iwagmyhair: (worry ◘ but I can't find you)

[personal profile] iwagmyhair 2012-08-18 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Um. I guess that's what the mission is for! To get everyone started?
