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.

[ The library is a perfectly acceptable place for shouting when you have a voice as nice as Tsurubami does. ]

How would I know? You should brush your teeth after every meal instead of asking strangers to check them for bits of food.

[ And he nods, feeling so generous for having shared this useful piece of information. ]

I've never heard of Sailor Kepler. Are you just trying to avoid a direct Sailor Moon reference, or is that actually a thing?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (call me)

For a guy who's blatantly avoiding eye contact, you certainly know a lot about common courtesies.

But how nice of you to care after my dental hygiene, regardless.

[ good. you are generous and you should feel generous, Tsurubami. ]

Unfortunately I'm not from the right dimension to make such blatant references without getting a slap on the wrist. But do carry on! Don't stop on my account.
protagonisnt: (#People who are better than you)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-12 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be surprised. Despite my natural eccentricities, I know a lot about a lot. I'm an adult, after all.

[ #Half truths and the hipsters who tell them. ]

Ah, and please don't worry. I'm not going to jam a reference into everything I say. Can you imagine how forced that would sound? Perhaps a character from a gag manga could get away with it, but I'm just a normal man trying to get by.

[ He shakes his head for emphasis, and then he sticks out his hand for a handshake. ]

Tsurubami Kamome. What's your name?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (don't need to stretch your neku)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I hardly doubt it. I bet you can tie your own shoes and everything.

[ where the hell are your black framed glasses, kamotan

but alright. he'll deal with the social maxims and reach out to give Tsurubami a firm handshake. even if the guy's still doing his utmost best to skirt around direct eye-contact.
]

Well, just-a-normal-man-trying-to-get-by Tsurubami Kamome, it's nice to make your acquaintance.

I'm Yoshiya Kiryu. Just an average fellow with way too much time on his hands.
protagonisnt: (#Things I don't care about)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-14 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hipster glasses are way too mainstream. Bami's minty green hair covers half his face with shadows. That's much cooler. ]

Hello there, average fellow Yoshiya Kiryu. From now on I'm counting you as one of my three friends. Let's try to get along, okay?

[ And boy does he sound excited about it. He must be so excited that he swung back around to bored expression and even more bored voice. Oh, and he holds up three fingers, he wiggles them even, just in case you don't quite follow what he's talking about.

Isn't he super considerate? ]


So so so. Tell me - am I your first friend here, or am I late to the party?
noisy: crystalcyanide @ lj (so let me tell you a story)

[personal profile] noisy 2012-08-15 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ like a minty-fresh raccoon dog.

Joshua is similarly enthused, picking a book off from one of the shelves in front of him to start leafing through it.

clearly the two of them are the most polite -- the dapperest of gentlemen.
]

"Party" would be needlessly flattering, I'm afraid. Here I was under the impression that friendship was invite-only, and yet all it takes is a name in an imaginary guest book to get inside.

Did you at least bring snacks?
protagonisnt: (#Spoilers: I fucked up)

[personal profile] protagonisnt 2012-08-17 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Guest books are for museums, funerals, places like that. Friendship is less formal, I believe. But I didn't bring anything to eat. Are you supposed to bring snacks to a party you weren't invited to but are attending anyway?

[ It's not as if he'll run out and buy snacks or anything, but this question is probably more than half genuine. Because you could count the number of parties Tsurubami has been to on one hand, and that was just a bonus page. ]
