[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. ]

[Waver just stares at Hakuno, his mouth shaping the words what the hell? There is nothing okay in any part of that sentence.]

...Yeah.

[sealeted]

Well, hey, that's better than just getting threatened by a normal teacher in front of three Legendary Heroic Spirits, right?

[Or having to go through a fight commando.]

[teratias]

[Iskandar had enough pants problems ok. He doesn't need flashbacks.

Waver's grimace says everything, but he shakes his head no just to be clear.]

What kind of teacher even thinks that's okay?!

[sealeted]

Don't ask me. All my teachers were AI. And, once I had to fight Father Kotomine even though he wasn't a proper Master.

[teratias]

Okay, but you get my point it's just. [It was terrifying, okay? Waver wanted to die, still kind of does come to think of it, and well, it was either this response or the whole told off in front of the entire classroom.

He likes to think he chose wisely.]

Whatever. Embarrassing.

[sealeted]

Well, at least none of them are here.

[And she pulls out another question, before he can dwell too much on it.]

Do you prefer dogs or cats?

[teratias]

[Hakuno's a genius. Or at least knows how to ride with Waver's over the top reaction to most things.]

Cats, I think. I've never had a pet.

[sealeted]

[He should relish it while he can. She only has one more comment before he's tossed upon the mercy of strangers as his date.]

Neither have I, but I guess my Servant was kind of catlike.

[teratias]

[No Hakuno, don't free him!!]

Servants are way higher maintenance than cats.

[sealeted]

Oh, I have no dou—

[Her chair levitates suddenly, and she grabs the sides of it for balance.]

O-Oh. I guess... our time is up? I'll catch you later!

[teratias]

!!!

[Waver rather disappointed, all things considered.]

Yeah. At some point!
