C'mon think positive!

favorite roommate?

“Oh, I just love them all for different reasons. It’s really hard to choose but I guess I would pick Riley. We share a room and I just have a soft spot for them.”

“Hey. Smiles.” Tyler called to get the woman’s attention. He’d seen her around yesterday, near the end of the night, sporting the same shit eating grin. And, sure, people could be regularly happy, but no way in hell was someone like that without a lot of alcohol or a hidden motive. After walking over to her, he glanced her up and down. “You don’t look the type to wield a knife, but player’s choice.” He summarized, shaking his head. Everyone had damage-inducing dreams, once in a while. Perhaps Little Ms. Sunshine had decided to act on them, one night. Or, more likely, maybe she knew who had. “Why do you like knives? And, more importantly, stabbing them into strangers late at night?”

@joyfcl​

Joy turns around when she realizes someone is trying to get her attention. When she recognized the boy as one of The Lost Boys she smiled and was about to tell him how great they did and how awful she felt about his band mate but her smile quickly turned into a frown. “Excuse me?” she asked. “I am not a particular huge fan of knives. Unless you’re talking kitchen knives because I have a great set dedicated to just produce chopping.” That definitely was not helping her case. “Are you accusing me of hurting your friend?” she asked, already knowing the answer. “I didn’t hurt your friend, darling. I wish I know who did because I would help you hunt them down.” She could never hurt someone except maybe if that person hurt one of her friends. She could see why the boy was so upset. She would feel similar had it been one of her friends. “I’m sorry about what happened but going around accusing people isn’t going to help your friend get better. Shouldn’t you be with him now?”

{angelo}

angelo turns his head when he hears joy, and if it were anyone else he’d be a little startled by how enthusiastically she approaches him. but this is just normal at this point. “why?” he asks, genuinely confused as to why she’d be looking for him. though to be fair, if any of them were to bail on this performance it’d probably be him. “not at the top of the list of things i’m feeling, but sure.” he shrugs, picking his words carefully because he really doesn’t want to rain on joy’s parade here. angelo’s entire approach to this whole thing was reluctantly acknowledging that it sure was something they’d be doing. “i’m not nervous!” he lies, brows furrowed to feign confusion at the accusation. “I’ve sung in front of people before.” though that was a small karaoke bar, and this was the entire island. “you don’t seem nervous.”

Joy crossed her arms and looked up at him. “Oh, Angelo. I know you’re at least a little bit excited. Excited to see some of us make fools out of ourselves at least.” Joy wouldn’t really care much if she did seem foolish to others but she thought saying it might lighten him up a tiny bit. “Well, good! You shouldn’t be. It’s gonna be super fun. I’m a little nervous, but mostly excited! I can’t wait to go on. And look at our outfits that Diana designed! They’re just so cute.” She leaned up on her toes and lightly pinched his cheek. “You’re looking like a whole cutie pie. I could just eat you up.”

{riley}

“Well Angelo wasn’t getting out of it. He has no excuse - we all knows he used to karaoke with Poppy all the time, so it’d just be rude of him to not do it with us too,” they explain, shaking their head a little bit at the fact that their friend actually had tried to talk his way out of it. Riley understands why some of their roommates may not be into this, but it seemed like something Angelo should find fun! “But Ferris and Debby were wild cards. I would have let them out of it if they really didn’t want to, but it’s going to be good! The whole gang together!” 

“Oh, totally. There’s no way Poppy didn’t make him do karaoke with her. We know he’s got some decent pipes in him.” Joy knows Angelo didn’t want to do this but she also knows there isn’t a possible way that he wouldn’t have fun. At least a little bit. “I wouldn’t have forced either of them either. I’m just glad they agreed to do this with us.”

[joyfcl]

{riley}

To say that Riley was amped up for their performance was an understatement. They were beyond excited. Decked out in the outfit Diana had picked out for them and wearing a bunch of glitter in their braided hair, they were all set. “Yes! We’re going to own that stage,” they all but shouted in answer, jumping once before reminding themselves to settle down some. It was hard though, given how happy they were at the moment as well as the fact that they were around Joy - who always made things even better just with her presence. “I’d never even heard of Rock Lobster before, but since Angelo and Ferris were both on board it seemed like the best song to go with.”

Joy loved the outfits Diana had designed for them. They were all so amazing and well put together. Flashy enough to be noticed but not overdone. It was perfect. “Own it while looking amazing!” she gushed. It made Joy’s heart soar that Riley was excited. They were so adorable. “It sure is interesting, that’s for sure. I’m just happy Angelo and Ferris agreed to preform with us.”

@angelosanger​

Joy was an optimist. Too optimistic for some people. She knew that. Angelo was one of those people. She couldn’t contain herself sometimes! She’d been looking for him for a while, wanting to check in on how he was doing since it was their big day! When she finally found him she ran up to him, waving. “Angelo!” she yelled out with a bright smile on her face. “I’ve been looking for you. Are you just as excited as I am?!” She knew the answer already but couldn’t help but to ask. “You must be super nervous, I bet,” she teased, nudging him in the side with her elbow.

[joyfcl]

@emotionalriley​

Joy was nervous. The kind of nervous where a person was giddy and excited though and just couldn’t contain their emotions. Joy had done karaoke plenty of nights and knew she rocked it but singing in front of the entire island?! That was a whole new level. Still, she was just happy to be doing it with her friends. “Aren’t you just super excited, Riley?!” Joy asks with a bright smile on her face.

{mabel}

“oh, sorry! i love your apron!” mabel babbled, as she looked up at the woman with a bashful grin, not meaning to scare her. “poppy just like, let me know that you guys were gonna have a new shipment of your finest googly eyes coming in today and just wanted ta stop by to see if ya got ‘em? i wanna put ‘em over all our condiments and house plants.” she leaned in as she whispered her last sentence excitedly, quite proud of herself for this genius idea.

Joy looks down at her apron that’s embroidered with designs and garnished with pins. “Thank you! I made it myself.” She looks back up at the younger girl and smiles. “I’m sure she did. It’s Mabel, right? I think your brother was in here earlier looking for you. That sounds like a grand idea though. I know if I did that at least two of my housemates would be less than pleased.” She laughed a little. “I just finished stocking them not too long ago so there’s plenty to choose from.”

{toulouse}

After a busy week of work, Toulouse was ready for a few days off. He loved his job, and he loved the arts, but some weeks were just more stressful than others. This weekend he had purposely left the laptop with all his work on at his office. Whatever had to be done could wait until Monday. Parking outside his favourite junk food restaurant, Toulouse climbed off his motorbike with his phone in his hand, texting to see what was going on on the island tonight. Unaware of his surroundings, he only looked up when he accidentally bumped into somebody. “Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t-” He stopped, and looked up at the person he bumped into, his smile softening a little. “Oh, hey, Joy. Are you, I’m sorry, are you ok?”  @joyfcl​

Joy didn’t mind working weekends but definitely took the time to enjoy herself when she was able to have one off. The rest of her friends were busy for the weekend so she was left to her own devices. She knew she needed to eat dinner but for once wasn’t in the mood to cook. She loved cooking but really just wanted an easy night for herself. She planned on getting some easy fast food and taking it home to eat as she watched a film but things seemed to be falling out of place as she literally ran into a familiar face. “Toulouse!” She couldn’t help but be happy to see him despite their past. Things were still a little awkward around him but she had a soft spot for him. “I’m fine. Not to worry. How are you?”

[joyfcl]

{conrad}

Conrad couldn’t stop himself from giggling as Joy started talking about the owner being a scrapbooker. “My grandma likes scrapbooks, they should start a club, huh?” He let out another chuckle before the two of them stopped at the fabric section, “Oh? Yeah sure,” he stepped closer to her and pulled his shirt away from his body, showing off the buttons, “hopefully you’ve got one close enough to this.”

“I’ll pass the word along. I’m sure Poppy would just adore that. I can see it now! Her in scrapbook club meeting with a bunch of other grandmas. She’d be in her glory!” Joy laughed along with him. When he came closer she took a good look at the buttons on his shirt then at the ones hanging in little packages. “Hmm. This one looks pretty close.” She pulls one of the tiny packages off and holds it up to his shirt, comparing. “It’s not the exact same shade of brown but you wouldn’t be able to tell unless you were really trying. I think this should do just fine. Did you need a sewing kit or does your grandmother do that too?”

[joyfcl]

{conrad}

Conrad couldn’t stop himself from feeling giddy at the mention of more buttons, and he nodded his head with excitement as Joy told him to follow her. “Yes, yes, I can do that! Lead the way!” He started following closely behind her, eyes roaming around the isles just to look at everything else in the craft store, “hows it like working here? meet any hardcore crafters?” He let out a little chuckle.

Joy did just that-- lead the way. She knew the store like the back of her hand. She’d worked there long enough so if she didn’t that would look pretty bad. “I love working here! You meet so many great people. The most hardcore crafter I know though is the owner. You should see her scrapbooks. She really goes all in.” When they reached the fabric section Joy made a left into one of the isles. “Let me get a closer look at your shirt so I can match a button to it. Come here.”

[joyfcl]

{conrad}

It was a nice thing to see, brightened Conrads day up to see the blonde sway a bit to the song that played around them. Conrad didn’t mean to frighten her, so he took a step back and let out a little ‘heh’ before running a hand through his hair, “I was just wondering if you had any loose buttons. Have to, uh—fix,” he looked at his button up shirt, at the top button had popped off, “this.”

“Buttons! We’ve got loads of those here!” Joy smiles brightly at the young man. “Back by the fabric and sewing products. Mhm. I’m sure we’re bound to find one that matches closely to your lost little friend. Just follow me!” She gestures for him to follow her then began walking through one the isles to take a shortcut.

Aladdin - If your muse had 3 wishes, what would they wish for?

For all of her friends to be happy all the time.

For Debby to see how great she is and find happiness.

Probably something unrealistic like a unicorn.

[joyfcl]

moana / fantasia

Moana - Does your muse believe in fate or destiny? What is theirs?

Joy believes everything happens for a reason, whether that’s part of fate or destiny she’s unsure. She prefers to be in control of things instead of letting nature take it’s course. If Joy had to say what hers was it would be to protect her friends and family.

Fantasia - Does your muse believe in magic? What is their view on it?

Joy has never seen magic but she’s heard rumors about it. She definitely thinks there is a possibility it can be real. She’s also heard rumors about people using it for evil and it scares her that people have the ability to be so powerful.

{marian}

Marian laughed softly shaking her head. “I truly have forgotten nearly everything I was looking for. Your joyful spirit is rather bright, and well carries to others around you. Not to mention your moves were wonderful.” 

“Why, aren’t you just a doll?! You’re gonna make me blush. You should see me at karaoke nights. A few drinks in and my moves are something to be desired.” She laughed a bit. “Maybe I can help jog your memory about what you were looking for. Yarn? Glitter? Jewelry charms to make bracelets with?”

[joyfcl]

{missy}

“So sorry about that!” Missy said with an apologetic smile. But even so, the young girl had released a giggle as she had enjoyed watching the woman lose herself to the song. “Fun song, by the way. Can I asks what’s it called?” She asked, forgetting for a moment the reason why she had came inside here in the first place.

“Nothing to worry about, darling!” Joy told the girl with a smile. “One Little String by Jule Vera according to Shazam! Not the most danceable song but it has some good beats that I found myself swaying to. Anyways, was there something I could help you with?”
