[WORLD ONE] SPEED DATING EXTRAVAGANZA

Who: Participating coven members
Where: The Palai marketplace
When: Day 49
Open/Closed: OTA

[ Any and all who are in the marketplace will find that there is suddenly a mysterious barrier around the marketplace (that may be eerily familiar to some) -- specifically one large portion of the marketplace with a large number of tables and chairs, perhaps purposefully set out for nefarious reasons.

A few Palai are ushering coven members to chairs, and everything seems about normal. As normal as the Palai can be when they're putting on a show anyway. It's not until a sizable portion of the coven members are seated (and also supplied with breadsticks and small shrimp), that things get a bit more bizarre.

Thanks to the power of the Eltos, a small band of energy keeps coven members stuck to the chair (magic can interfere, of course), but that's not the end of it. On each table, next to those delicious smelling breadsticks and shrimp, is a bowl of scraps of papers. Every five minutes, a strip of paper will pop out from the bowl.

If you ask the Palai, they'll be inclined to explain speed dating to you. Asking questions, getting to know a person, then being shimmied off to the next potential mate -- this is made possible by Elto magic yet again, through flying chairs that transport their holder to a new table at standard intervals.

The Palai are extremely invested in this exercise? Will you let them down? ]


[ OOC: In the spirit of speed dating, each character will have a top level. All who want to respond to this top level can with questions from this post, but the threads have to end at 10 comments from each character. After this last tag, the characters can be assumed to have been whisked to a different potential match. You're free to have characters make up their own questions, interact with Palai serving food, etc. ]

[don't even joke about it?! (sorry, she's no fun.)]

It's ludicrous to even suggest we'd have to... engage in such a thing!

[He snorts.] What? Out here? Nah, no one's doing that.

[He can't help himself!!]

I would hope they are not—

[she's going to die.

also, thanks to him, she now can't look around her at everyone else. thanks.]

[He bursts out laughing, whoops.]

Relax. They're not gonna do anything when the rest of us are all here.

[rude!!! he's so rude!! what if some people are exhibitionists, you don't know their lives]

There's no need to laugh at me.

[luckily (unluckily?) for python, the only thing to overcome jeanne's flushed embarrassment is her stern mom time-for-time-out anger. she is... fuming, a little, and maybe she'd hope she came off threatening or something, but also it sort of seems like cute pouting...]

[Pfffft.]

Sorry, sorry. [He doesn't sound the slightest bit sincere. Awww, she's so not threatening right now.]

I didn't think it'd bother you so much!

It doesn't bother me...

[yeah, she can tell he isn't sincere, too. maybe if she takes control of this conversation and moves it along, he'll behave himself... without waiting, she plucks up the next strip of paper that pops out from the bowl.

she looks at it, and—ah. that's an interesting face.]

[He raises an eyebrow. Hmmm, would he call that an unbothered face?

He isn't sure.]


So. What's it say?

[personal profile] goodlistener 2017-09-09 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
A-Ah...

[her expression itself is wavering. she definitely isn't unfussed. it seems like she's deciding what to do, in fact.]

I don't think this question is appropriate to ask. That's all.

[Awww, now he's just GOTTA know!]

Come on, how bad can it be? Tell ya what, I won't be offended. Cross my heart.
