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.
minus: (you may have a point NOT)

『It's not? Oh no, I've screwed up again haven't I? You see, I never had anyone, much less parents, to teach me right from wrong, and I'm still a little shaky on things like "window shopping". Without anyone to have provided me with the proper example, I'm left to my own devices!

But now, with your help, I'm certain to learn!』

( and he just sort of.... throws himself in neku's general direction and grabs his shoulders and looks like he's about to burst into tears because what a SAD TALE -- then he straightens, smiles and laughs mechanically. )

『That was a lie! Of course I know how to window shop, I only wanted a closer look.』

[ Oh no, what the hell, did he really just insult some weird orphan who doesn't know how to shop because he doesn't have parents --

. . .

He's so shocked he doesn't even bother trying to escape that sudden SHOULDER GRAB. ]

[ Oh, thank God, it's just an asshole. ]

Very funny. Hysterical, even. [ Swatting irritably at those hands clamped onto his shoulders, and then folding his arms tightly across his chest. ] Does everyone here think they're some kind of master prankster, or am I just getting really lucky?

[ Still, his curiosity beats out his irritation. ]

... what's in there that's worth drooling all over the glass for?
minus: (something's off)

『I don't know what you mean. I'm not funny at all, just rude!』

( ........ he says it as though there is absolutely nothing wrong with being rude. there's no pride in it either, he's not the sort to understand, nor possess any feelings akin to 'pride'. he's just stating facts, if anything. )

『Maybe you're just the sort of character who attracts people like me?』
minus: (smell the roses)

[personal profile] minus 2012-08-11 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
『What a dumb question! Ha ha ha! It's obvious, when you think about what sort of a shop it is.』

『An ability or two of mine is in there, and I'm trying to figure out how long it will take for me to reclaim them.』

Wha --?! Rrrrgh!

It's not like I even looked to see what kind of shop it was! I was distracted by the weirdo slobbering all over the glass.
minus: (good point)

『That's really not my fault, now is it? Of course, it's not - that question was rhetorical!』

( oh he really is just so rude i mean he's so rude he completely changes the topic with his next question, and does so without flinching: )

『Are you anorexic?』
