[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. ]

[ How to interact with girls without being blindsided by confessions... Maybe there is something to be learned from this speed dating exercise: learn what people talk about that gets them dates, and then avoid all mention of those select conversation topics. ]

The only way I know to prevent it is by being rude and dismissive, but... I can't do that.

Me either! God, one time I panicked when I was trying to be honest and tell my friend I didn't like her that way but I goofed it up pretty badly. I wasn't trying to be rude, I just... I was anxious. And I couldn't think of a nice way to say it...

[Harem life is so hard.]

I just hope it never comes up again.

[ Better than Minato who doesn't tell the other party ever, just strings people along forever, determined to take the secret with him to the grave. ]

Even if it's said nicely... being rejected in any way is hard to hear.

[ that said, ]

Why are you here?

[ Seems like the prime place to be for something like that to come up again. ]

[Oh. Jake shifts, looking shy.]

I saw my friend heading over and wanted to see if he wanted to go see a movie, but then I got roped into this...
