[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. ]

Anywhere outside of the village is youkai territory, so traveling would be dangerous. I've heard of Hawaii, though, isn't that somewhere near the ocean?

Yeah. In the ocean.

[ but isn't everything in the ocean, by that analysis - anyway. ]

... youkai, huh? [ uhm. ]
decipheringeye: (I suspect that books)

[personal profile] decipheringeye 2017-08-27 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
They're pretty dangerous, but the human village is off-limits, so it's usually not a problem if I stay there.
actus: @ byob (pic#11552947)

I didn't know they followed rules like that. They sound pretty sophisticated.
decipheringeye: (Book on head)

[personal profile] decipheringeye 2017-08-27 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm kind of shaky on the details, but apparently it would be a problem for all the youkai if anything bad happened to the human village, so they have some kind of complicated agreement in place. I don't get to talk to many of them.

That sounds ... complicated, yeah. I've never actually seen a ghost before.
decipheringeye: (Books can do WHAT)

[personal profile] decipheringeye 2017-08-29 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
There's all kinds of ghosts, but it's probably better not to meet one. Some of them can be really dangerous.

[ Kosuzu checks the next question, turns bright red, then puts it down and immediately skips to the question after it. ]

What do you do, and how long have you been doing it?

[personal profile] actus 2017-08-31 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a student, actually.

[ that's the safest answer. ]

...Don't know what I want to do when I'm older, though. Which is kind of a problem because I need to start studying for entrance exams in a year or so.

[ hm..... ]

This place has kinda been a break from all of that.
decipheringeye: (Did you know that... books)

[personal profile] decipheringeye 2017-09-01 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Entrance exams...? ]

I don't really know what that means, but it sounds like students in the modern world have a lot to worry about.
