[ 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.]

You wanna talk desperate?

[Red meets green. Good? Yes.]
sublimating: awkward / think (fidgety)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[yes] [Bruce looks up, and then] [blinks, and straightens himself out a little, taking a better look. well, you're conversational, and not hostile at the moment, so here's... hoping this won't be another Harlem]

I've -- I've gotta say, I'm curious about what your application looks like.
howbigcanitbe: (With cats)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-12 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Hellboy frowns and tilts his head one way, pondering that.]

Demon hunting. Mostly. Cat nanny if you provide the beer.
sublimating: smile / laugh (no fair trying to MAKE me hulk out)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-12 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Cat nanny, huh? [okay, that's cute. his lips quirk up into a smile] I hope you have good references from that. [he's a child of the 80s and he thinks of Alf...]

Even in the event that, ah, your demon-hunting is of the freelance variety, rather than the organized variety.
howbigcanitbe: (bad boy)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-12 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Just a couple dozen cats millin' around. [Hey now, he doesn't eat them! They're just sort of attracted to them. It has something to do with cats having one foot in hell and him being the prophesied prince of hell.]

Nah. You ever hear of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense? I'm the go to guy.

[He sticks out his left (normal) hand] Hellboy at your service.
sublimating: snarky / think / surprised (you're gonna go with that?)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-12 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hellboy. That's a little -- on the nose. [just. observing. but he reaches out and shakes the offered hand]

[he feels so much more in-control of this Hulk thing than he did this morning right now, it is almost funny]


I haven't actually heard of it, but it sounds -- right up my alley, I guess. [is that his alley now?]
howbigcanitbe: (smoking a cigar chest crop)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-12 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the grunts that found me got real creative. [Yeah, Hellboy wishes he could do something about all of him. It'd be handy.]

Yeah? You wanna apply to be a nanny?

[Because Bruce looks far too normal to hunt demons.]

Always chasin' one off so there's probably a queue.
sublimating: sad / smile (always sorry)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-12 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I might already be, in a way. I work for SHIELD -- the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. [he's probably their only consultant who bows what it stands for] They're the kind of guys who get involved when... Norse gods fall out of the sky, or cubes of cosmic power get stolen, or -- big green monsters go berserk in populated locations.

[he glances down at his job application and then. points at himself. that last one was him]
howbigcanitbe: (huh)

If this isn't okay, lemme know

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-12 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Oh. This makes more sense now.

And now he's getting some respect.]


Nice job. I was...pretty impressed.

[Which is saying something considering how he's destroyed places.]

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-12 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, thanks. I've -- been getting a strange amount of compliments on my rampaging technique lately. [wasn't... everyone supposed to be upset with him and nervous about what he might do?! when did that stop? this is all Tony's fault somehow, he started a trend]

Hey, as long as no one's ridin' your ass for it. [Hellboy will hire Tony to be his PR agent. Although, he does all right by himself with the comic books and things.]
sublimating: sad / smile (always sorry)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-14 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hard to blame anybody for that, but I do prefer when the National Guard doesn't get on my case. Do you -- get a lot of that?
howbigcanitbe: (close crop cigar)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-17 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. It's usually the FBI riding my ass. They're in charge of the BPRD so they come down and ride my ass every time I get seen in public. You'd think a guy could sign an autograph without bein' read the third degree. [ in other words, he flaunts it in the FBI's face that they can't keep him under wraps.] I've even got my own FBI baby sitter.

The guard would be worse, I'd think. They try to blow you up with tanks?
sublimating: smile / comfy (pic#6341389)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-18 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, usually. [a little chuckle] It didn't end well for anyone. The other guy -- gets pretty upset when his personal space is invaded by... bullets or missiles. But to be fair, I'm not sure an FBI babysitter would've helped.

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-18 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
It don't help much on this end either. 'Least not the way they want it to. [He ponders that a moment, chewing on the end of a cigar that's really too short to light] You weren't always like that, were you? [He might be envious, that you can have the option to look normal, even if your control is iffy. On the other hand, he has control of his actions all of the time. ]
sublimating: sad / smile (always sorry)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-19 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. This happened -- a few years ago. [he's sensitive to the purpose behind the question, though, and rubs the back of his neck] If I could consciously control it, it'd probably be okay. But I still can't get over the part where I black out and wake up... 4000 miles away, with no idea how I got there and no idea what I might have done, except for the assumption that it was -- terrible.
howbigcanitbe: (looking back)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-06-21 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Hellboy seems to consider this for a moment. Yeah that would be pretty awful.] One time, I got blinding drunk, ruined a whole family reunion. [He looks over at Bruce] Not mine. Turns out, kids bouncy castle really does have a weight limit.
sublimating: smile / laugh (what? you actually read my paper?)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-22 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
[he makes a short laughing noise, and then cuts himself off before saying sincerely] That sucks. I bet they didn't even invite you to stay for cake.
howbigcanitbe: (huh)

[personal profile] howbigcanitbe 2013-07-17 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, but they threw some at me. [He grins. He doesn't mind the laughing. He's gotten used to it in fact.]
