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.

herp derp should we have a posting order or...!
not a care in the world. ]
Wow, without an introduction, too. Someone's awfully enthusiastic, aren't they?
[ because he isn't. oh good grief, he doesn't do roommates -- but if he's at all displeased, it's not showing what, with his smug little smile. ] It doesn't look like they've supplied us with name tags, though. And unfortunately I'm just old-fashioned enough to want a name to go with an acquaintanceship.
Shall we have an ice-breaker exercise?
Probably all of the above!
like Mr Hlike a bartender almost dully looks over at the other guy that was laughing. Why does it seem like this guy could be annoying... but at the same time, he couldn't care all that much.]What kind of exercise...
[It's not like he ever really got through any of introductions before.]
I post next, right?
[He stretches his other hand out to Joshua for a shake, using his knees to balance himself on the edge of the bed. Being he can do the exact same thing on a multicolored ball and with no arms when he was a puffball back on Popstar, this particular balance trick is a piece of cake]
Oh, I already know how that works. You take my hand and I say my name. You then say yours and we go from there.
I'm Marx, by the way.
yes!! josh --> shizuo --> marx, and we can go on like that until shouichi shows up? :') also 1/2
After all, it's not like we're in this game because we're an unhappy bunch of folk, right?
[ haha. what a motley crew of characters this is turning out to be, he thinks. there's mr. ball-of-sunshine in (an oddly familiar getup) of black and white, and mr. almost-too-friendly already moving in to shake his hand.
nice sense of balance, he'll admit. he takes Marx's hand easily enough, giving it a brief, yet firm shake. ] A pleasure, I'm sure. Name's Joshua Kiryu. I can already tell we'll be the best of buds.
adsfas thanks for working it out like this, especially if they all get rowdy in the same room 2/2
... well, maybe a bit too pleasant. ]
I was hoping for an activity that'd be a bit more telling, actually! A handshake's not exactly helpful when it comes to saying much about yourself.
[ his hand goes to his hair idly, brushing back his bangs. ] So how about... along with our names, we'll give one fact about us that others might find a little unique. We can even make a game out of it.
You tell one unique fact that's the truth, and you make up two lies that still sound believable. The rest of us have to figure out which one's the cold, hard fact.
...If? Well, I guess there is a .000005% chance it WON'T
[Wait. Why did this other guy's name seem to remind him of something that could've almost been irritating.
Why didn't it irritate him as much?Adding that other stuff didn't seem to make sense, either. Why add two lies on top of that as well? That made it more complicated than it had to be.]Yeah, got it...
[He'd otherwise be told that there aren't many chances that people would include him in this, so he should try to go along with it. It's clear that he thinks there's something suspicious about Joshua, more so than Marx.]
Shizuo Heiwajima. Ah, three things...
[Try two lies, Shizuo. Try. ... Nope, too bothersome and pointless.]
I've had over two dozen jobs, scaled a skyscraper, and have been hit by full-moving trucks a few times.
[Well, with how thin, weak and complacent he looked, none of them seemed too believable.]
no subject
I know! The third part's the truth and the rest are lies.
[Marx doesn't really know for sure or care either way. He just wants some info that can be used against his roomies in the future. So far, Shizuo isn't saying anything worthwhile, but maybe Joshua will. Only time will tell in this little game]
no subject
[ but what was that, he can't even ] Wow, you go for blood don't you, Shizuo.
But considering how personable you're quickly turning out to be, I couldn't possibly believe the first one to be true.
[ either he's laying it on thick, or he's taking mockery by the tail and slapping Shizuo across the face with it. at this point, it's hard to tell. ] I suppose I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and place my bet on the second.
You look like you could've been bitten by a few radioactive insects at one point in your life.
no subject
[But really, a part of him might want to punch you a bit, Joshua. It's not much of anything compared to how easily he reacted to things, but that hasn't happened at all so far.]
You're both right, actually...
[Taking the sunglasses off to pocket before searching for cigarettes. Still in the same pocket? We'll see!]
Seemed too troublesome to come up with fake things that didn't happen. Who's turn is it now?
[WAY TO MISS THE POINT OF JOSHUA'S GAME, SHIZUO.]
no subject
I am not human, I tricked the Sun and the Moon to fight, and I hate this game.
[So much for two truths and a lie when all of them are fact. Still, Marx doesn't want to reveal too much of himself or his past, not when it involves nearly killing someone while attempting to take over your home planet. Hopefully neither of his roommates will ask a lot of questions, because they won't likely get an answer if they do]
(skipping questions this round for the sake of jumping in. will play next round.)
while he didn't jump for joy at the prospect of social interaction, given the situation, he ought to at least say hello. ]
Oh, uh. Sorry... [ he manages a small wave before adjusting his glasses. ]
okok!! also 1/2
[ ALL OF YOU LOSERS ARE PLAYING THIS GAME WRONG!!!
not that he can really tell with Marx yet, but... well, Glasses over there is busy painting the perfect picture of what a NEET's life looks like, and apparently Bartender scales up buildings and holds a job as easily as he might hold water with a closed fist.
and given the facts getting passed around, Joshua can't exactly tell if they're all just really good liars or if they're just being boring on purpose.
but first he turns to Shouichi, laughs, and waves the comment off, at least pretending that everything's good in the hood and all of the answers they're getting aren't FUBAR. ]
Oh, no need to apologize, stranger! I understand that singlehandedly destroying a phone takes both focus and single-minded dedication.
no subject
hmmmm....
... yeah, he's starting to figure his roomies aren't exactly your average group of "normals." ]
Gosh, it's hard to tell if you're all just really good liars or just really terrible ones.
no subject
Actually fight, or's that another way of saying you started an eclipse...?
[Nope, not actually questioning any of it. Yet once again, something about what... ah, that other guy said, or how he says it, was starting to actually irritate him. [Enough to officially get Joshua 10 points for Minor - Emotional] Normally it'd lead to a bigger reaction, like just punching the guy. Right now he just has the feeling of wanting to punch him, though. Strange, but it didn't change that there was something saying that this was a pretty unlikeable person.]
Coming up with lies for no reason felt annoying. Why not just tell the truth if you could?
[Yes, Joshua. This person is the worst at your game. Or is he really the best???
Nope, just the worst.]no subject
Nope, an eclipse didn't happen at all. It was an actual fight, more like pushing each other around to take their place in the sky.
[As trange as it may sound, it was his first step in conquering Popstar. If only that mettlesome pink ball didn't screw it up by beating him to a pulp.
But that's in the past and the present is now. It's time to focus a little more attention on the 4th roomie in the room]
Hey hey hey, it's your turn now!
no subject
[ lying was something he was actually fairly proficient at. it was coming up with the lies that seemed to be difficult. ]
Uh... I'm narcoleptic; I have dual bachelors degrees in Electrical Engineering and Engineering Physics and, uh. Play the cello.
[ WOW those were lame. but the more boring he appeared the better, really. no one really needed to know about mafia shenanigans and time travel. or latent desires to be a rock star, for that matter. ]
My name is Irie, by the way.
Shouichi.
no subject
also...
why isn't anyone bothered by the fact that Marx made the sun and the moon fight? not that it's that big... of a deal to him, but... if he's not human either, shouldn't that earn a little interest? sadly enough, it's more or less the lack of reaction from the other members of their party that's affecting him more than anything else. too bad he's not the kind of person to show it on his face. ]
To be fair, the truth isn't always so... lively for the rest of us.
Alas, perhaps we should count our blessings. Marx is a terrible liar, and Shizuo... well, you're just a chip off the honesty block.
How swell.
[ ...
Shouichi, at least try DON'T FOLLOW THE REST OF THE GROUP THEY'RE ALL TERRIBLE. ]
...Irie, you're not about to fall asleep on us, are you? I'm sure they have a pill for that, if so.
no subject
Never mind people shouldn't be seriously considering it.He almost missed what... what the guy with the glasses said. He couldn't really tell which was the truth, or if any were lies. It didn't seem like any of it needed to be doubted.]Never really got to pick up an instrument, myself...
[Ah, but he's a little irritated. Not simply what was said about him; the tone that was being used about and to everyone so far. Well, everyone being those that looked like actual adults. Which is why an irritated look was held towards Joshua.]
You're the type that people usually wanna beat the crap out of, aren't you?
no subject
[he falls back first on his bed, laughing at the possible truth of Shouichi having narcrolepsy. The many pranks he can use on such an easy target will surely help him rack up on joypoints.[
Ha ha ha ha haaaa... I'm bored. Are we friends now?
no subject
his suspicion is only marked further at his next response, and he flashes raised-eyebrow looks of unease to both joshua and shizuo.
also, you're all wrong.
but for the record, he barely sleeps and plays the guitar. ] It wasn't. Though I apologize for not paying much attention earlier.
[ there's obvious tension in the room and shouichi wonders how long it might take before someone throws a punch. or a chair. ]
Perhaps this game doesn't suit the current circumstances...
no subject
which means you're not getting a response.
but thanks, Shouichi, this totally means he can give zip about himself now. so he laughs, crossing his legs and propping his arm on his knee, resting his chin against his knuckles. ]
Agreed. [ ... pretend, for a moment, it wasn't Joshua's wise idea to play the game in the first place. ] But what would you folks propose we do?
Should we all link arms and sing 'Kumbaya'?
no subject
This is nothing to be proud of.There's a bit of an incredulous look at Marx, given what he thought was funny. Him and the pale-haired kid were just plain suspicious. All he could respond to with Marx's question was muttering;]How would that make us friends...
[While he doesn't mind a change in 'activities,' he didn't want the kid to make the choice again. Or even have his sarcastic suggestion be taken seriously.]
I'll pass if that's the case.
[Nope, pushing it back towards the other guy. Just... someone not the one he feels like he should want to punch.]
You got a better idea then?
no subject
But wait, what was that? Was Shizuo trying to say something? He honestly couldn't hear what was said, so he decided to make that problem known.]
I can't heeeaaarrr you, Shizuooooo! Speak louder!
[He says this while back in a sitting position, a hand cupping an ear while he leans forward to his direction for better hearing]
no subject
at least two out of three of these people were rubbing him the wrong way. wincing and recoiling, he scowls. ]
Ugh, well. Th-this obviously isn't working, I -- [ he adjusts his glasses, briefly covering his eyes. ] S-so loud...
I-I'm in agreement with uh, H-Heiwajima-san... was it?
If it's necessary, I-I think normal introductions would suffice.
[ but he wasn't sure if he really wanted to know. ]
no subject
but anyway, Joshua's learned enough: Shizuo and Marx are both either particularly imaginative or particularly special, and Shouichi's just suspect because he's so boring compared to the other two... though if the dual degrees are true, that'd just make him suspiciously smart.
... so... ]
Well we've covered our basics... names and such. [ and yeah, he's speaking in calm, modulated tones even as Marx is causing a ruckus in the background. ] But if you're so inclined, do feel free to share your age, your blood type, and any hobbies that you're particularly fond of.
