[ 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.]

Ah, a girl who knows what she likes and sticks with it. [He gives her a loopy, goofy sort of grin and picks up the marshmallows he found.]

Come on, let's go rummaging.

[ that smile is way too cute. it's like. tactical weapons-grade cute. probably banned in some countries! she can't help matching it with a laugh, shaking her head and agreeing slyly ] What can I say. I'm just a take-charge kind of Buffy.

[ rummaging sounds good; she slides up beside him to help ]

Oh yay!!! <3

[promisebreaker]

[ while he may not be aware that that smile is that cute, he is aware that it generally works on his aunt mae. ]

See, that's a good thing. The whole take--take charge kind of thing.

[ what can he say? he likes strong women.

and they're rummaging, going through desks and drawers to try and find chocolate. he grins and holds up one bar victoriously. ]

What do you think? Will it do?

/soon all her kristi tags /and then all her tags period

[antiapocalypse]

Glad to have your approval.

[ she looks over the chocolate ] Well, we won't really know until we try, but I've got a good feeling about it. [ tiny beat ] Might wanna mark that one on the calendar.

[promisebreaker]

It's highly sought after. [ now he's just being silly ]

Don't get good feelings about things often? [ now he's just curious. the chocolate is forgotten for the moment. ]

[antiapocalypse]

Mostly bad feelings. "It's a trap!" That kind of thing.

[ yeah the pretty girl just nerd meme'd you. she likes Star Wars. and Trek. ]

[promisebreaker]

[ give him a moment. he's stunned by the nerdiness in a very good way. ]

You've got great taste and instinct things too. Obvi--obviously.
