[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. ]

[She looks straight at him again.]

Exploding hands and cheap puns.

[ WOW. ]

Mm. That's a shame, my hands only light up and my puns are top-tier.

[ akira, that's... there's a grin appearing on his lips and he reaches for one of the pieces of paper. ]

... What's your favorite book? [ he sounds skeptical? did these pieces of paper really just go from sexual fantasies to books? ]
sealeted: (and when we burst)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-26 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...probably the works of Hans Christian Andersen.

[That's the closest thing to pleasure reading she's ever had the chance to do. A nostalgic, slightly sad look briefly sweeps over her face, but it's gone by the time she picks the next question.]

Have you ever dated before?

[Actually, it says 'mated'.]

[ thank you for the correction, hakuno. he may actually owe you one. ]

Yeah. [ a broad answer to a broad question, of course!

he reaches in to snag a piece of paper as well. ]


Ah... Do you like your partners assertive or docile? [ WHAT IS THIS QUESTION. he's trying so hard to remain deadpan but really, it's kind of absurd. ]
sealeted: (let you down)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Both kinds have their charms.

[Hakuno can switch roles as her partner might need.

Moving on...]


Are you a—...why is it only me that has to ask these?

[She flips the paper over, incredulously displaying 'Are you a virgin?' his way.]
actus: @ byob (pic#11552957)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-27 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ you have the luck of the cards, hakuno. or in this case, just shit luck. ]

Oh. [ his face turns a modest pink. that's enough to break his calm facade. ]

...Guess they're matching people by experience? [ that's not an answer, akira. ]
sealeted: (does she wear black?)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Are you... fishing for my own answer?

[Is he saying they're both virgins, or that they both aren't?]

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-27 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ it was a random observation!! gosh!! ]

It's kind of a personal question.

[ he wouldn't really go around asking anyone that. especially a friend or someone he's on a date with. geez. ]
sealeted: (at the end of my day)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
You're not really one for straight answers, are you?
actus: @ bitemark (pic#11584726)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-27 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ THERE'S A JOKE HERE... ]

I wouldn't ask someone that.

[ is that straight enough for you? ]
sealeted: (‘til I'm dead)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I'll believe in those words.

[She offers him a soft, crooked smile, and reaches for the next question.]

Favorite color?
actus: @ bitemark (Default)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-27 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ you especially don't ask a lady that! even if they turn into a squirrel sometimes. ]

Red.

[ a lazy grin. ] What's yours?
sealeted: (the same way)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He's said some pretty rude things...]

Pink.

[She's been asked this once before today.]

Like Sakura petals.
actus: @ weekend (pic#11509389)

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-27 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ like sakura petals... ]

Do you like pink flowers, then?
sealeted: (I'll be the earth)

[personal profile] sealeted 2017-08-27 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen many firsthand, but yeah.

[Aaaand... her chair starts moving.]

...oh. That was... quick. See you around, Pinnokkyun.

[A question he probably should have asked when he had the chance:

Does she actually remember what his name is...?]
