[ 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.]

[ She was just being polite, that sort of etiquette instilled in her from a young age. His sacrilege, on the other hand? That causes her neutral expression to become a bit more stern. ]

...I see.

[ She has no idea what to say to that. ]
cleanedslate: (no but seriously)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-14 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So, new to sarcasm, or just really not into it?

[ still not taking his things. he doesn't like being handed stuff, and there's no one here to take it for him! ]

[ Her hands drop to her sides. ]

I have known a few men who have referred to themselves as gods, [ she says in an even tone. ] It rarely goes well for them.
cleanedslate: (for your consideration)

If it helps any, karma's already been a bitch. I think I'm actually owed one or two.

[ Lucina is even less impressed than she was a moment ago! Way to go, Stark. ]

No one is owed anything, sir.

Well. That really depends on what you mean by owed, and who you're in debt to.

[ it's a talent! ]

[ ... ]

[ She holds up his dropped items for him to take again. Ordinarily, the grim little frown is just how her face is but he seems to bring it about especially. ]
cleanedslate: (do you mind if i call you goldilocks?)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-15 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ right, those ]

Ehhhhh...

I don't like being handed things? It's a thing. Thanks anyway.

...My apologies.

[ Congratulations, Tony. You managed to make a princess-military commander combo feel incredibly awkward. That might be a first ever for her.

No wonder you're so constantly beset by supervillains.

You meant well. [ he said, as if she had anything to be sorry for ] The important part is that I'm not really planning on looking at or thinking about--

[ he glances down at the items as he says this, and abruptly stops. well. ]

I'll take that one. [ points at the communicator ] The other you can drop, shred, recycle, whatever you want.

[personal profile] emends 2013-06-18 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Re...cycle?

Lucina's confusion doesn't quite make it to her ever present frown, and she offers up the communicator when he asks for it.
]

Are you certain you don't wish to complete your examination? It's daunting, but it may be necessary. [ Lucina hadn't understood half the questions it had asked of her. ]
cleanedslate: (no... nope. still doesn't make sense.)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-18 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that, as threats go, or else is pretty thoroughly played out. [ he takes the communicator, turning it over in his hands thoughtfully ]
emends: (pic#6298342)

[personal profile] emends 2013-06-19 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I was not issuing a threat. [ But now she kind of wants to. ]
cleanedslate: (might wanna go back to the drawing board)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-19 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha... ha.

[ a beat, looking over her face. really super not into sarcasm. ]

No, you probably weren't. [ he gestures at the communicator ] But these people? With their deadline?

I feel it's implied.

[personal profile] emends 2013-06-21 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a reason for this suspicion? [ she inquires evenly. She really is just asking. ]
cleanedslate: (no... nope. still doesn't make sense.)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Logic. Pattern recognition. General resentment of deadlines...

[ This... conversation is going nowhere, isn't it. Lucina doesn't give a tiny sigh in the way she would like to, but some of the tension does leave her body. ]

Well, in that case, I wish you luck, sir.

[ If he's not going to take the clipboard, she sets it down on the nearest surface and moves to leave. ]
cleanedslate: (okay but that's a worst-case scenario)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-23 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't wish me luck. Wish us luck. If it's as easy to get out of here as just not filling out their paperwork, I'll definitely put this one in the win column.

[ Lucina gives another little nod, not really letting his words deter her from leaving the room. At least he was able to obtain his communicator, so hopefully he'll be alright despite his alarming resistance to basic orders. ]
