Joy followed his team off of the ramp, staying fairly quiet to try and grab a bit of an idea of their personalities. So far, it seemed like he had been dealt the stoic, silent types, which was a bit of a contrast to his own personality, but he could roll with it, and adapt to the cards in his hand.
22
((No, no way, just been a bit preoccupied and haven't really felt too inspired lately.))

"Good. That's a relief. Just wanted to come clear, you know? Also allows me to tell you about those 'odd jobs' in the future. For now, let's get a little more attentive."
23
((I was waiting for anyone's help, but that time has passed.))

Joystick, unaided, had struggled very hard in order to bring Game up to the fourth room and, surprisingly, he had succeeded with the task, bringing Game into his room and sitting him down on an empty bed. He had breathed out a cry of relief and sat himself down next to the wolf, petting it.

"There you go, now you're up. I think that took a bit out of me. Might go on to sleep." He stood up and moved his stuff from his bed to the floor, and laid down. A small part of him refused to go to sleep until Game did, however. He needed to make sure that he wouldn't be crushed in the middle of the night if Game decided he'd rather sleep in Joy's bed, with Joy. He did eventually doze off, regardless.
24
"Alright," Joy sighed. He felt that his preparations wouldn't quite be enough, but he couldn't exactly say no to the creature. That had to be bad luck, or something. He took a moment to collect himself, before tackling the issue at hand. He used both magic and his own strength to life Gamepaw, even then still struggling with holding him up. "This is going to, going to be a hard climb," he gasped out through his teeth. "Anyone wanna help me out?" he called to any of the ponies still in the room, desperately needing the help. He hoped he would be able to make it up on his own if no one responded.
25
Something in those, admittedly adorable, eyes clued Joy in to exactly what Game wanted, and he felt like he was going to have a reason to be tired very, very soon. "You want to go upstairs, with us, all the way up four floors, don't you?" Reluctantly, Joy asked Game what he wanted to do, already knowing what his answer was going to be. He had already resigned himself to his fate, mentally preparing himself for the trek.
26
Joy was just about to head up to his bed when he heard Game's whines. He stopped and approached the wolf, giving it a little rub. "Hey, you're that wolf who got stuck in the door today. Don't you have anywhere to sleep?" He asked, curious. He didn't see a doghouse when he was outside or when the door was knocked down, but then again, he doubted that if the wolf got into a doghouse he'd be able to get out of one.

Joystick sat with his team, taking in the captain's speech. He noted a few things to himself during the speech, such as the forbidden Jungle, and the presence of artifacts besides the main objective. He also noted that the two employers were not on each other's good sides. He hoped to be able to keep those tidbits in his memory. After the speech ended, Joy remained seated, listening to the remarks of the other team.

I almost feel bad for the smiley one, man, she seems so out of place here. Look at my team, these bright shining rays of hope, and look at her. Thanks to that other one for asking, because I wouldn't have thought of it. Good info. Joy thought, opting to keep these thoughts to himself for now.

((I'm fine with a timeskip))

Joy had seated himself with everyone else, eating a sandwich. He didn't quite socialize while he was eating, but he stuck around after he finished his meal. He did notice a pegasus heading to answer the door that he hadn't seen around yet, but he could introduce himself when the pegasus was less busy. Right now he would let people come up to him if they wanted, and just sit back for a few minutes.

"Well, seems like I will get a chance to explain, after all." Joy hesitated for a moment, as if he still wasn't quite sure that he wanted to reveal himself.

"What would you say if I had been one of those bucks? One of the guys who had to resort to those acts to get by?" Joy's voice had dulled to a bit of a whisper, wanting only Raven to hear what he had to say.

He hoped that the hybrid would be pretty positive in his reaction, because Joy trusted him and, as he had stated before, wanted to keep him as an ally and as a friend.

((Jeez, Fake, you're gonna make us look bad! aboogaboogabooga

Great post, homie.))

It's 73 degrees F in my house and it feels like 30 with a strong wind. I've zipped my coat up, and I'm still freezing. Come on, nature.
32
I agree with that, I think we're about finished up, anyway.
33
"Go on inside, maybe you'll sleep better in there." At this point, Joy was just trying to get Marble out of the current equation. He had been prepared to tell Raven, and he would likely tell Cheveyo, if only because he was the unofficial leader of the group. It might be info that would help out with escaping, who knows.
34
((Pretty sure Fake was being sarcastic, homie, join on up! No one is gonna have beef with ya.))
35
Joy had set his bag in the first open room he could find, claiming a bed before any would-be hooligan stole his spot.

Happy to secure a bed, Joystick decided to take a quick look around the property from the floor, getting a good vantage point. He observed the outside areas, including a garden, a trampoline, a pool, to name a few.

He didn't quite yet know where he wanted to go, so he opted to head downstairs and check on the wolf, and maybe get some of the food Blueberry had mentioned. He figured that sounded like a plan.
36
((Sorry homie, I was, and still am, groggy and tired when I wrote that. Sorry about that.))
37
I'm still in, fairly obviously.

"Oh, hey, Marble. Thought I told you to get some rest. The others are in there asleep, besides Zealous, and I like being far away from him, so it's not a big deal for me. Yeah, go on in there and get some rest, me and Raven are covering watch. You've had a long day." Joy's plans of revealing himself had been foiled by Marble, and he was slightly irritated by the impedement.

Turning to Raven, he opted to still reply, although with an altered reply from what he had planned. "I'll tell you in a minute," he delayed, waiting for Marble to take him up on his offer and head to sleep.

"Well, that was something. I'm gonna go get a room, if you don't mind." Joy wasn't exactly sure when the method for the wolf's escape became dangerous, but he'd figure he'd get out of the way before it was him in danger.

Heading up to the fourth floor, Joy took a look at the rooms, wondering which one to take. He didn't know if there were all single rooms, or if he had to room with someone, or what, but he didn't really prefer one or the other.

((Could we have an updated room list, if it's no trouble?))
