[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. ]

Oh, wow, so you're some sort of leader? Like, a big wig type in the God Eaters?

[Because that sounds like an interesting thing to be! Especially if he was so excited to join up with them.]
probablynoteren: (why do only the profiles look good)

[He looks a little embarrassed about it, and there's a minor hesitation before he replies.]

... Yes, but they just promoted me recently. To captain. It's not really... There's never enough God Eaters.

[Because of the genetic requirements. Because they die too fast. Aside from that, there's a lot more complicated things involved in that particular promotion, made exponentially more confusing by his time here and what he's learned from Julius.

He'll leave it at shortstaffing, though.]

[Jake understands complicated situations putting you into a position of power.]

Ah, I see. What are the God Eaters a anyhow? A sort of military group?
probablynoteren: (smth's rotten in the state of crapsack)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-08-28 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Military, yes. We fight the monsters that appeared after the end of the world. Aragami. [he's a lot more sure of himself with that part, tone calm but firm and focused; it shifts a little more thoughtful once he looks back at Jake again] I don't think they've appeared anywhere else. In other... worlds, I mean.

[Else there'd be a lot more apocalypses ongoing.]

Goodness gracious I hope not! [Because apocalypses suck. He's been through one.] I haven't heard of them from anyone else. I know our apocalypse was unrelated to that.
probablynoteren: (why does he look 12 here)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-08-28 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
There's two of us God Eaters here. If you meet Julius Visconti.

[Might as well pre-empt more confusion when it comes to the two of them and their attempts to relate their worldview to everyone else. And everything here. That aside, though...]

What caused yours?

[Go figure that world traveling would come with multiple apocalyptic stories. It's almost comforting, though, to know there are others thinking along the same lines.]
