[ 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.]

No, it is -- not of your world. Asgard is the crown of the Nine Realms, above the realm you call Earth.

[...................hold on, give him a sec--!!]

So you're an alien.

[actlikealady]

There are those who have called us that. [unfazed, comfortable with the term]

[socrash]

Crash.

[he loves aliens. or at least ones that don't want to kill him. the ones that do aren't really cool.]

So what do you guys do in Asgard? Does everyone walk around in armor there?

[actlikealady]

[she is somewhat confused by your usage of the word crash, but humans have strange ways]

Mostly we eat, drink, hunt, and fight. [her lips quirk up, amused for a moment at the description] So those who are warriors do tend to wear armor, unless they are dressing up or down for some meal or event. 'Tis the safest way.

[socrash]

[especially humans from the future! also whoa. cue wide-eyed curious look.]

Do you do all of those at the same time?

[bart asks all the important questions.]

[actlikealady]

[a more wry smile] Some of us more than others. [Volstagg]

[socrash]

Cool.

[bart wants to meet these people because they sound awesome. and they are also in the kitchen because bart is now pointing at that tupperware container sitting on the counter.]

Hey, is there anything to eat in here? I'm starving.

what, no Excalibur tag

[actlikealady]

There is food, but all of it appears to be cold and unappetizing. [these people don't know how to work microwaves] I am hungry as well, but not yet hungry enough for that.
