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.

no subject
[ -- at Hachiko, but that'd be telling. ]
So wouldn't you say all of this antagonism is... ah, I don't know, a bit much?
1/3
Don't lie to me!
no subject
Just don't! I know what happened! [ How could he ever forget? ] I tried to play your stupid game, I -- I -- [ The words come spilling out of him in a hot rush, stinging at his throat like they're acidic. ] -- I pulled the trigger!
3/4 OOPS LMAO
He hates him, but he doesn't --
He wants to be wrong, wrong, wrong, but he knows he isn't --
( And he's ashamed of just how badly he wants to abandon this rage and be proven wrong. )
There are hot tears burning at the corner of his eyes, and trying furiously to blink them away does nothing but make them boil over and go spilling down his cheeks. The hand knotted in Joshua's shirt doesn't loosen its grip, but Neku is trembling violently as his emotions go to war with themselves. ] Why --?! I don't -- I don't understand!
no subject
[ He hates the way his breath hitches, almost like a sob. ] I just wanted everyone to go home.
ASLDKJF
because he lets it happen, more than he understands that he has no real way to stop it from happening. Neku gets too close, and the only thing Joshua can do in response is raise his hands at his sides, steeling himself in as the other boy growls spitting cat mad into his face, and says
i pulled the trigger...
... and the way it sounds in his ears is so much like a joke, he doesn't know how to react; whether to laugh, to smile, to raise his brows and let the oh tumble from his lips. ]
oops 2/3
You pulled the trigger?
[ he asks, and if his tone sounds bitter, then it must be his imagination. ]
Really. Oh, what a shame.
no subject
Dear Neku. [ his shirt's going to wrinkle, but it's funny that he doesn't care as much as he should -- because when he lays his fingers on the other boy's fisted hand, it's as a lighthearted pat. ]
You never learned how to trust your partner. Didn't you?
no subject
[ The word escapes him in a strangled little rasp, eyes going wide.
Whatever reaction he was expecting, it's not this one. ]
no subject
[ The fisted grip on Joshua's shirt loosens as the confusion etches itself all over Neku's face; the teenager's brows furrow together and his jaw sets tightly, half of him trying to process what Joshua is saying while the other half simply rejects the implication all together. ] I --
no subject
He's not letting Joshua do this, not again. He won't let himself get all confused and twisted up. ]
Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! I did, I did learn, and --
DONE.
You made me trust you, and then you played me like an idiot! And now --
[ His breath hitches, shoulders trembling violently. ] And now everything -- everyone -- is gone! Because of you. [ His grip tightens once again on his partner's shirt, but this time... it's less like he's on the verge of punching the other boy, and more like he's just desperate for a lifeline. ] ... because of me...
LMFAODSF TAKE YOUR TEN POINTS even if nothing looks wrong
[ it's a little funny (sad) how easy he takes the news. after all, as Sanae had said on the day, he had felt a little down, and seeing the little group gathered at Hachiko had made him feel a little bit like...
... well... not like it really matters anymore. this Neku had none of that. this Neku had wanted, first and foremost, to win.
if Neku's crying affects him, then Joshua doesn't show it on his face. he simply tucks his fingers into the boy's grip, pulling the white-knuckled hold apart, calmly, slowly, like there's no hurry at all to pull this Neku apart by the seams. ]
Don't be so hard on yourself, dear. If I was in your position, I'd shoot me, too.
[ the saddest part is how true that statement is. ] ... Then again, it's probably because I don't trust myself...
