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.

I'm Elliot.

[A few steps and he's behind her, gloved hands on the chains as well.]

I'm going to give the swing a bit of a push, okay? Not a big one - just a small one. Don't be scared, alright? It's fun. I promise.
plucks: (be friends with me)

[She dramatically nods, gripping the chains tight and showing just how ready she is by frowning in the face of danger! Clearly this meant impending flight or something like that. She just might get out with a scrape.

But Elliot promised it was fun and promises are as legit as it gets with Mary.]


Okay, Elliot. I'm ready!

Take off! [mary no.]

[It's time to push the little girl on the swing then and he does just that, pulling her back a bit (not too much mind you) before letting go, letting gravity do its job.]
plucks: (i like blue best)

[Even if it's just a small push, Mary is soon delighted. She laughs when it continues to swing almost on its own.

Honestly, what did she expect to happen?]


No way! Why haven't I seen this in a book?

[It lulls as swings do and she looks at Elliot.] It's really fun. Do you get to do this a lot?

[Considering all the shit that went down oh so recently, getting to indulge in something so simple is somewhat of a relief. Mary's laughter is light to his ears and he finds himself smiling at her again.]

I haven't gone on a swing in quite awhile, but I used to love it when I did.

Want another push?
plucks: (all of my friends)

[personal profile] plucks 2012-08-11 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? Do you not get to have fun? [She's nosy like most gets are, even without meaning to be.

Nonetheless, it's only offhand curiosity once he offers another push. She nods, kicking her feet up.]
guielliotine: (//Well That's Stupid)

[He pulls her back further this time, giving her a big push to send her up into the air.]

My family would consider me to old to play on swings.
