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.

I've yet to deny that you were ever wrong.

[He chuckles, although the sound is dry and somewhat strained. He could definitely use a cigarette right now, and he's feeling oh so fortunate that they didn't decide to sneak those off his person. Elijah lights one, and already feels more situated.]

I suppose I have nothing to offer, as of yet, [It's already been made clear Elijah can be brutally honest with this boy.] But when that time comes, would it be wise of me to take you up on that offer?

『Yes, there is that too.』

( Oh, he's a smoker. Some people of Kumagawa's era might step aside to avoid the potential of secondhand cancer, but the Minus happens to stand right there and say not a thing about the smoke wafting about. Everyone has their vice. )

『Oh no. It's not wise to ever associate with me, even if I have something you may be interested in. It's not wise at all, it's suicidal. It's for ugly, petty, terrible people who have nothing to lose and know they'll never gain anything even when they try.

It's nice to meet you, sir. My name is Kumagawa Misogi, and I'm here to be happy.』

[Finally, Elijah looks over to the boy, with a cautiously neutral expression on his face. But if one squints, they might be able to tell that he's biting on his cigarette.]

Is that so! How very...exceptional. [He ends the last word flatly, and billows out a torrent of smoke.] That's it then, isn't it? I've sealed my end of the bargain by making myself known to you.

Kumagawa Misogi. You may call me Mr. Gabriel. [Elijah gives a thin smile.] I'm here to find out what makes you happy.

[CHOKES ON HIS CIGARETTE. Not from anger through- he restrains himself by coughing into his fist. He didn't want to ruin his "cool" by suddenly bursting out into laughter.] Hmm, what a smart little brat! [Elijah is feeling BETTER ALREADY...]

Very well, I don't doubt you're able to keep your own share of secrets just as easily as I keep mine. Be it toxicity or not, we simply can't allow ourselves very many luxuries.

[He taps his cigarette with a nod.] I'm very happy!
