[ Opening Mingle ]

[randomly_modding]

[Everyone will wake up suddenly, as if having drifted off -- while sitting upright in an uncomfortable office chair. In one hand they're holding the communicator, and in their lap is propped a clipboard with a job application (standard, looking something like this; it requests up to ten years of job history, ) and a pen. The waiting room is also fairly standard, except for being empty.]

[The communicator's lock screen reads, Complete the job application. Time limit, twenty-four hours.]

[There are magazines, fake plants, and computers. There's a staff lounge with food -- tupperware that might have belonged to some of these nonexistent workers, popcorn and cocoa packets, vending machines -- and restrooms. There are exits, but characters will be unable to use them... or make their own, or escape in any way.]

[So the characters are stuck here, until tomorrow morning. Set up a comment telling everyone what your character is doing, and thinking, whether they're obeying the task or not, at any time during the day. Then tag other people! Be sure to check back later in the week, when people are encouraged make threads for the evening as well as the day! Characters that have been claimed are also welcome at this point to join the community, and will be able to make their own posts, which can be tagged by anyone taking part in the event.]

[Peter snorts at that.] Yeah, 'cause you don't have people lined up to work at Stark Industries and trust me, you don't want craigslist.

[cleanedslate]

I don't think we make them actually line up, but you'd have to ask HR. [ or Pepper, who will want to meet you later. ]

[promisebreaker]

Oh. Well that's probably more comforting than the whole line--line thing.

[cleanedslate]

We're all about the comfort. We also don't make them fight to death and award jobs to the last man or woman or intermediate standing.

And I was looking forward to the Hunger Games. [ he reads okay! ]

[cleanedslate]

[ also reads! ] Well, that would be fun to watch. I could work on my popcorn-dot-gif, maybe get some cackling in? Definitely no brownie points for potential employees gettin' busy, though.

[promisebreaker]

[ oh good! that makes Peter smile. ] Yeah. I think that'd be kind of creepy too. The killing and hunting though...that's all good fun.

[cleanedslate]

Well, obviously. Nothing promotes corporate unity like having to kill each other for entry-level positions. Just imagine what the promotion process would be like.
