[ 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.]

[ his lips -- twitch ]

Yeah, well. You create something, you've gotta deal with it. [ right? ]
sublimating: sad / smile (always sorry)

[he wants to protest, but he swallows it a little]

You know, Tony, it seems like you're taking credit for a lot of supervillain stuff lately. Something you want to tell me?
cleanedslate: (you don't say)

this whole thread is spoilers but this comment even more so RUN AWAY AIEEE

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I am the Mandarin. [ a suspiciously similar tone of voice to certain other I Am declarations past, but then he speeds right along ]

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".
sublimating: snarky / think / surprised (you're gonna go with that?)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-14 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeahhh, because that guy sounds super, incredi-sane. You are definitely to blame for him going off the deep end.
cleanedslate: (okay but that's a worst-case scenario)

"super incredi-sane" is my new favorite thing

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-14 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a quiet, amused snort ] I don't take full credit. Just like... Maybe 35%. And not all because of him personally, so much as what I scribbled on a business card while I was drunk.

[ are you not hearing his full culpability in this situation?? ]
sublimating: smile / laugh (what? you actually read my paper?)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-15 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
You need the full Hannibal Lecter treatment, it sounds like. Who knows what sort of deranged engineering graduates you might offend, or what drunken doodles might inspire someone to misuse them, if we don't keep you muzzled and in a straitjacket. [he's reasonably confident in his analysis of the situation, and he's decided to be amused by it]
cleanedslate: (now this i've gotta see)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-15 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay, maybe a full, actual grin for that ]

The point is I did, in fact, clean up the mess. Unfortunately not until after Pepper acquired superpowers.

[ he says it dryly enough but some of the genuine peters out of his grin ]
sublimating: frown / think / worry (it can't be done)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-15 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[okay, he's not smiling anymore either. he can put two and two together] That sounds... like something probably upsetting.

With the flawed super-soldier serum?

[he didn't actually get to meet or talk to Pepper or anything but she's your girlfriend and that means she's probably awesome and her exploding would be bad]
cleanedslate: (trying not to think about that)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-15 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ just... yeah. ] That'd be the one.

[ a long beat, then he perks up a little ] They figured, if someone I cared about was on the line, maybe I'd help them with their homework.
sublimating: awkward / think (fidgety)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-15 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[you wouldn't be joking about it if she'd exploded. but you're obviously still worried so... you haven't corrected it yet, either. she's still in danger]

Do you need help working on the formula? [a shrug] As long as we're stuck here... [might as well put it to good use]

cleanedslate: (funny you should mention that)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ has he mentioned eight times yet that you're his fave? there's the tiniest pause, and then ]

Need is such a strong word. [ he'll definitely take it though ]
sublimating: smile / laugh (no fair trying to MAKE me hulk out)

[personal profile] sublimating 2013-06-15 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[a quick smile for him, and then, flipping over the job application] Show me what you've got.
cleanedslate: (correct me if i'm wrong [i'm not])

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
What, right here? We don't even have a dry erase board.

[ but he sketches out a few equations quickly, all the same ]

It was always an interesting idea. Tap into human potential. Screw around with our DNA. Everyone loves the idea.

Stronger. Faster. Smarter. Aging slows down, injuries heal themselves. All great in theory. But it's not stable. The molecules get too excited. All that heat has to go somewhere...
