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.

Ho ho ho ho! Oh ho ho ho hoooo...!

[Whether the screaming worked or not, he got a reaction out of Neko and that's enough to make Marx fall on the floor in laughter]

I got you! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

partnered: (82)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Har har, you're such a riot.

[ Spoken in an absolute deadpan, and accompanied by an irritated tic in his jaw. ] Stop, please, you're killing me over here.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[The laughter subsided once Marx got the hint that his antics weren't in fact funny at all. He sat up from his position on the ground and began to pout]

Aw, you're no fun.
partnered: (77)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Probably because I'm not here to entertain you.

[ Folding his arms across his chest with a huff. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
Uh-oh! Someone doesn't look too happy...

[The young jester had rid of his his pout just as quickly as it appeared, now giving the other a small smile while standing up from the ground.]

I'll smile if I were you.

Why the hell would I be happy?

I'm here in a strange city, trying to earn enough happiness to fix the crap that went wrong back home. And apparently it's a city full of nutcases who come up behind you and screech at you for no damn reason. [ A pointed snort. ] I don't know if that's the kind of stuff that gets you all giddy, but I'll pass.
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
And, since I'm not you, I'll also take a pass on smiling like a moron.

♪ Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me! ♪ Ha ha ha ha ha!

[You'll have to do better than that if you're trying to insult or piss Marx off]

Rrrrrgh!

[ On the flipside, it doesn't take much to set Neku off. ]
partnered: (86)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, I don't have time for --

... whatever you're trying to do. Go away.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Only if you be my friieennnnd!
partnered: (11)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
How about a big fat no.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I won't go away until you do.
partnered: (77)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... fine, then I'll leave.

[ And with that, he's turning away sharply and trying to stalk off in some random direction. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're not getting away from him that easily, not when he's walking behind you after picking himself up from off the ground]
partnered: (86)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WALK WALK WALK

-- And then he's turning back to face Marx, annoyed. ]


Stop following me. I'm not going to be friends with you, so give up already.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not even for joypoints? I thought you want to change what went wrong in your world.

[You don't get to hurt anyone in this mission, so why ignore the chance to get free points? You won't have this opportunity again, that's for sure]
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-11 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

[ He tenses up at that, hands clenching into fists. ] I --

[ Bingo, Marx. You hit the nail on the head. ]

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-11 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[The jester smiled. Is he about to hit a home run?]

Let's make a deal. You become my friend and I'll leave you alone for a week, okay?
partnered: (85)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

I don't think that's how making friends works.

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then how do we become friends?
partnered: (8)

[personal profile] partnered 2012-08-12 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
... have you seriously never made a friend before or something?

[personal profile] heyheyhey 2012-08-12 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[There was never a need for him to make any until now]
partnered: (85)
