[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. ]

[ really, though, this guy seems like an awesome big brother figure. someone reliable and seems to have their act together. ]

[ but that question still takes him off guard. jesus christ you can't just ask that - ]

Ah. That's a personal question, isn't it? [ like asking about ideal partners and levels of experience isn't personal? either way, he's fidgeting with a napkin. oops. ] ...He's here.

[ pls. ]

[he truly does look like he has it together, doesn't he...]

I see. I understand it's a personal question, so I will answer one in return.

However, you didn't answer the question.

[Don't break eye contact with him now.]

[ this is brutal. absolutely brutal. ]

I'm not sure if he wants me telling people.

[ they didn't exactly discuss that? it never really came up. this napkin is being wrangled into odd shapes. ]

He's cute, though. [ let's just poke fun at the situation. ]

I'm not interested in whether he is "cute".

[FUN POLICE WEE WOO WEE WOO]

I only want to make sure you're happy with your decisions. Feelings shouldn't be a burden, as you say. If he is "cute" enough to make you happy, then so be it.

[ WET BLANKET ALERT. ]

Of course I'm happy with my decision.

[ he wouldn't have made this decision, otherwise. there's a twitch of a frown, though. ]

It's not what he looks like that made my decision, by the way.

Then it appears that I'm a much better judge of character than I thought.

[There's a compliment for Akira there somewhere.]

The coven's efficiency is also dependent on its morale. Everyone's satisfaction is in my interest if we're to function as a unit.

By the way, have you changed your mind about the suit?

[ you know what, he'll take what he can get, to be honest. ]

I probably should have taken you up on your offer. It might have worked in my favor for this.

[ he grins, albeit a bit sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. ]

... Maybe.

Well, I'm always right. I'll see what I can do if fate is kind to us.

[Jumin crosses his arms and grins. He wins again, and all is good.]

You're still entitled to one personal question, by the way. You only have less than two minutes left.

[ "wins", sure. also, this kid is sixteen. how much of a win is that? ]

You're always so serious. Have you always been like that?

[ he's going straight for the jugular, fine. ]

[he's not here to make friends!!!!

but okay.

without missing a beat:]


Yes, although I do have a fondness for puns. Is that a problem?

[ !!!!

his deadpan instantly morphs into a look of surprise and the tinniest grin. ]


Yeah? Usually people shove me when I make puns. I guess people don't appreciate the highest form of humor, anymore.

[ please be his substitute coffee-dad. ]

I suppose they just hate it when the... punchline hits them.

[consider it done.

he looks so pleased with himself.]

That's brill --

[ sorry, jumin. the chair is going to start vibrating out of control and he's going to be whisked away to some (less entertaining) conversation.

he'll toss him a grin, though.

definitely one of his new favorite people. ]
