[ Opening Mingle ]
[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.]

Who, me?
No. No, definitely not. [ beat ] I've heard that tequila is not completely dissimilar.

[he wants to say obvious things about how he can't just have lost seven months, but it is, of course, obvious. there's an awkward beat before he chuckles, reluctantly, and rubs the bridge of his nose] Well, that's -- not great!
no subject
You know, it's funny, I could have sworn you didn't disappear or anything. Drove you all the way to the airport, hopped on a plane to Malibu. Definitely didn't seem like you were secretly here.

Time travel? Don't say time travel.
no subject
[he hesitates over 'parallel universes'. that's not somehow less science-fiction than time travel]
no subject
MWI? A weak coupling between yours and mine? [ nudge nudge wink wink ]
no subject
Are you proposing that there's a universe where I got kidnapped during our car ride, and -- a universe where you got kidnapped seven months later -- by the same transdimensional culprit?
im3 spoilers /im a little late warning, sorry everyone
Hey, I'm not proposing anything. This is not a thesis. It's not even a hypothesis. [ he rubs his wrists, tilts his head back to look up at the ceiling himself ] Plenty of other explanations.
[
Skrulls] Memory-modification. Or loss. [ he doesn't like either of those ideas, and one of his hands drifts down to rub his ARC reactor through his shirt. he was really looking forward to getting this thing out of him ][ then he glances at you, and he feels guilty! ]
Maybe we've been here the whole time and I've just been hallucinating from the pain of whatever they did to grab us.
[ a beat ] I don't exactly like any of the alternatives, though.
/yep, all the spoilers
[he does rest his hand on his chin, though] So what do you exactly -- think happened in these seven months? [try the cliffnotes version. he knows you can do it, Tony]
/WHEEEEEE
We put the Tower back together, only now it's less me and more Avenging Things. There's a suite for everybody, but the top ten floors are still Candyland. [ promising, and then he turns on his heel: ]
I know you've been playing Lord of the Flies for the last half a decade, but tell me you know who AIM is, that'll save me a lot of time.
no subject
no subject
Heh. Yeah, that's the one. But on the side, they also front for a major terrorist organization, and churn out slightly less than super soldiers who are awesome at everything right up until they literally explode. Nasty little bug in the code.
no subject
You know, I was really kind of hoping somebody would learn from my mistakes.
[even though Ross made another Hulk just to try to erase the first one. c'mon, guys. is maybe making more Steves really worth making a lot of Hulks and Extremises?]
no subject
What can I say? Learning from mistakes is not in everybody's wheelhouse. [ he spreads his hands ] In fact, AIM seems especially bad at it. More than ten years, and they never went back to the drawing board. Just swept the bodies under the rug and kept right on going.
[ a beat ] Hey, at least their tech worked -- 83% of the time. That's at least twice the odds you get with Hammer Tech.
no subject
But if all this came out... somebody handled them, right?
no subject
Yeah, well. You create something, you've gotta deal with it. [ right? ]
no subject
You know, Tony, it seems like you're taking credit for a lot of supervillain stuff lately. Something you want to tell me?
this whole thread is spoilers but this comment even more so RUN AWAY AIEEE
Or that's what I would say, if I were Aldrich Killian.
Right after "boohoo, Tony Stark was mean to me ten years ago, now I'm gonna take it out on the rest of the world".

"super incredi-sane" is my new favorite thing
[ are you not hearing his full culpability in this situation?? ]
