[ 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.]

[ he's so amused you don't even know, Peter, though some of it trickles out at the died part. ]

Well, then I guess it's a good thing you won't be leaving her behind.
promisebreaker: (Contentment)

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-06-18 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ amused is better than offended. ]

Yeah. It's--yeah. I mean, she needs me and New York is home. I'd probably stick out like a sore thumb in California anyway.
cleanedslate: (are we really going there?)

Not really what I meant, so I guess you two are just gonna have to adjust. I recommend SPF like 120 for the first summer?

[ movin' right along ]

Obviously dorms aren't an option, but do you care if it's a house or an apartment? Ground level or high rise? Two bath minimum, I guess. [ slightly more vague; how do you even function with less than five, over the long term? ]

[Peter is just reeling right now. It's not a bad thing at all.] House. Good kitchen. [It's really all he can manage.]

Uhm...why? I mean...why?
cleanedslate: tech (n-dimensional space)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-18 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Call it an investment in the future. [ gesturing broadly ] I can't hire you right now. But in a couple of years, when you're done with school... I've got a good feeling about that, sure.

House, good kitchen. [ "nice neighborhood" goes without saying. ] I think we can manage that.
promisebreaker: (Thinking this through)

[ That's something else he'll have to take some time to absorb: working for Stark Industries.]

Wow...yeah. I'd--thanks [ because thanks doesn't even begin to cover it.]

I...uhm...I'll talk to her about it when--when we get back. [He just assumes that a house Tony Stark would provide would be in a good neighborhood.]
cleanedslate: (s-t-a-r-k. i know you've heard of me.)

You do that.

[ he smooths his hands down over his clothes. welp. ]

So, hey. Put whatever you like on the application. [ it doesn't really matter now, right? right. ]
promisebreaker: (What?)

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-06-19 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...it seems sort of...pointless to fill it out now.

[ he paused then. ]

Was this...all you? The...kidnapping and applications?
cleanedslate: (let me think: no)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ what, really? his lips twitch, then he spreads his hands ]

You caught me. Our hiring process at Stark Industries is very elaborate. Around 40% of our GDP actually goes to stalking promising candidates and then kidnapping them in the dead of night and issuing vague threats until they fill out applications. Apparently that's not industry standard? I keep hearing about something called "craigslist"...
promisebreaker: (Biggest Smile)

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-06-20 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Peter snorts at that.] Yeah, 'cause you don't have people lined up to work at Stark Industries and trust me, you don't want craigslist.
cleanedslate: (who is this dashing stranger)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-06-21 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think we make them actually line up, but you'd have to ask HR. [ or Pepper, who will want to meet you later. ]
promisebreaker: (Consider)

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-07-16 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well that's probably more comforting than the whole line--line thing.
cleanedslate: (no... nope. still doesn't make sense.)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-07-16 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We're all about the comfort. We also don't make them fight to death and award jobs to the last man or woman or intermediate standing.
promisebreaker: (Bit cocky [chin up])

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-07-16 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
And I was looking forward to the Hunger Games. [ he reads okay! ]
cleanedslate: (s-t-a-r-k. i know you've heard of me.)

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-07-16 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ also reads! ] Well, that would be fun to watch. I could work on my popcorn-dot-gif, maybe get some cackling in? Definitely no brownie points for potential employees gettin' busy, though.
promisebreaker: (Biggest Smile)

[personal profile] promisebreaker 2013-07-17 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh good! that makes Peter smile. ] Yeah. I think that'd be kind of creepy too. The killing and hunting though...that's all good fun.
cleanedslate: (correct me if i'm wrong [i'm not])

[personal profile] cleanedslate 2013-07-17 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, obviously. Nothing promotes corporate unity like having to kill each other for entry-level positions. Just imagine what the promotion process would be like.
