[ 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.]

Far be it for me to know. I'm trying to decide whether or not I've stumbled into one of Feynriel's dream worlds and am wandering the Fade like a lost puppy. [ Puts the device away again. ]

I thought I was pretty familiar with magic, but this is far beyond anything I've seen.

[ some of those words work for him even though he does not recognize them ]

You are a mage?

[waytobreakithero]

Not I. My younger sister and father were.

[ A pause, then: ]

And where I am from, there is magic everywhere.

[reignbringer]

[ total lack of surprise ] From what realm do you hail?

[waytobreakithero]

[ Somehow, the idea of there being more than one "realm" doesn't really surprise her, either. ]

Thedas, lately of Kirkwall. And you?

[reignbringer]

Thedas. I am not familiar with it.

I? I hail from Asgard. [ comfortably ]
