[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. ]

[Al meets that greeting with a wave and just... silently passes a plate of breadsticks Sora's way.]

At least they left food.

[Just eat and don't ask questions and this will work out Fine.]

Yeah, guess that's one good thing.

[ Yes, thank you, Al. Food always makes everything better. And he goes ahead and moves to take one out, but also can't help but look on curiously at his tablemate. The armor kind of stands out. ]

So what's with the armor? Don't want people to know who you are?

[ Honestly that makes sense to him considering the situation they're in. He wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to hide themself. ]
alphonse: (Hehehe.)

[Al has to laugh.]

Now you're making me wish I'd tried. But the design's pretty unique, so I wouldn't get away with it for long. Apparently the Palai think this is an acceptable way of dressing for a date.

[Since he got dragged along the same as the rest. Al shrugs.]

I'm Alphonse Elric. I'd say it's nice to meet you, but this is probably the stupidest way to meet someone there is.

[ He can't help but continue to eye the armor a bit more. Look, it's hella cool, okay. And then he realizes he should return the introduction, sooo. ]

Oh — and I'm Sora! [ Placing a hand behind his head. ] I'm just glad you don't wanna try and date me. This is way easier.

[ Talking casually like this is, at least. He can handle this. ]
