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.

[ ginger nerds unite. ]

What's there to feel good about hitting rock bottom? It's true to only place to go is up, but it's actually getting up that's the hard part.

[ a small shrug. it's not that she minds sharing - she's almost as detached from the whole thing as he is; it's the only way she can cope with it, really. ] I guess I'm sorta at rock bottom too. Except it's not just my life, but almost everyone's. Everything's gone, and the stuff that isn't is quickly following.

They were looking for desperate people, so here I am. [ she'll do anything to get steve back. ]

Ahah, I-I mean I probably shouldn't feel as if I have hit rock bottom, it's just... there's nothing really left. [ shouichi has been over it so many times in his head now that it felt natural to say. he's pretty fucked, as far as life progress goes. ]

Mm.
My condolences. [ and he's honest. he knows a thing or two about ruined lives. ] Sometimes you just can't stop it, I suppose.

Good luck. [ he manages an awkward smile. not one of his better skills. ] You seem too nice to be so sad...
techissexy: (the most unsure)

[ a shrug. ] Nothing left kinda describes rock bottom to me. Though I guess if you've got nothing left, you've got nothing left to lose, so why not take risks?

Sometimes you really can't stop it. Which makes it all the worse. Because it shouldn't have happened. It was a stupid, senseless tragedy. And I can fix it. I know I can. [ there's all the sad determination in her eyes and expression, all the distress. the wound is still fresh, and it shows.

but his next line kind of stops her, and she has to laugh a bit.
] Too nice? [ a long sigh. ] We'll see. I've got a feeling this place doesn't really like nice people. You don't seem like the type to have hit rock bottom either, but here we are.
