[WORLD ONE] SPEED DATING EXTRAVAGANZA

[spellbindmods]

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. ]

[The moment she was taken into another table, there was one thing she did not expect to ever happen to her: have someone yell at her without warning. She was already feeling uncharacteristically low and conflicted over the entire ordeal that she didn't dare look at anyone in the eye until now.]

That should be my question, not yours! Since I didn't ask any to begin with!!

[And just to show she wasn't kidding about her confusion, she'll ask with a louder tone than the other girl did to her.]

What the hell kind of question is that?!

[Even her "that" had a bold and underline, she wins the first point!]

[dragoness]

[ there is a long, silent pause between them as eliza watches, her claws gripping the piece of paper, head tipped down slightly. ]

... My voice is used to liquefy the bones of my enemies. Do you really wanna keep yelling at me?

[drizzle]

[That response will warrant another moment of silence as Nike continues to glare.]

Natural power or new magical power?

[All asked in the same annoyed tone of voice.]

[dragoness]

Why don't you guess.

[ she says it with a glinting grin, a fang showing over her lip. ]

[drizzle]

[The fang will catch her attention as she continues to observe the other girl. No matter how much Nike wanted to lecture her about manners, regardless of the other girl's destructive power and menacing tone, Nike was feeling far too curious for her own good.]

Do you think your power can be used to interrupt magical forces?
