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.

[ leo gave a small pause as he stared at the blood on elliot's glove. he hated it-- that small reminder of what happened. and what was to come when elliot was free from this place.

when he pulled his hand back, he placed his hands out for another reason. elliot was still bloody from things that happened so as his 'servant' it was his job to get him fixed up.

correct? well. ]

Elliot, give me your gloves. We're going back to your room first.

[guielliotine]

_{[The embarrassed smile he had painted on his face when he pulled back was soon replaced with a look of confusion as he glanced from Leo's fingers to his own and back. Oh. Oh. Bloody. Mother's blood mixed with some of his own. How awful.]}

Huh, why?

_{[He didn't protest though, even though he questioned it, peeling the stained gloves from his fingers before handing them over.]}

I don't have another pair.

[speckled]

Well, I'm sure you can live without them for a little while.

[ his voice was almost carefree. he'll just have to clean them or something if they weren't able to retrieve another pair. nothing to worry about elliot, gosh.

he began walking back from the way he came. you better keep up, elliot or he might just leave you behind. ]

You'll need new clothes, too. [ everything was becoming more troublesome. ]

[guielliotine]

<sub>[They were just gloves, he told himself. Just gloves. He could live without them. When Leo began to walk away Elliot found himself moving to catch up, sprinting until he was side by side.

Jesus Leo. Rude.]</sub>

Will I?

_{[Oh. He probably would, wouldn't he? They weren't too badly stained with blood, but they were still stained.]}

Well...if I just get the blood out, it'll be fine, right?

[speckled]

[ ELLIOT HE IS NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU WALKING AROUND IN THE SAME CLOTHES EVERY DAY YOU NEED NEW CLOTHES JESUS CHRIST STOP BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS.

but what really happened: ]

Elliot, we'll be here for a while.

[guielliotine]

<sub>[Oh. That was true. They would be here for awhile, wouldn't they? Then what would happen? Well, clearly they'd win. One of them would. Two against the rest is better than just one, right? They'd win and things would be fixed.

Speaking of, that brought up the question as to what the reason for Leo playing was. But he'd ask that later.]</sub>

By that logic, you're going to need new clothes too, Leo.
