[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. ]

[her bar for friendship certainly won't win anybody any gold medals for the high jump, anyway.]

If that's what you'd like for me to call you ... then I definitely will.

Um ... do you think you could tell me a bit about your magic?

My magic...?

[9S' smile, shy thing that it was, drops from his face as he looks down at himself. He touches the signet embedded in his chassis]

Other than transmitting my thoughts like everyone else, I don't know that I have any other added ability.

[oh, whoops. Madoka's smile dissipates right along with his.]

Maybe ... you just haven't found it yet? Or — it's fine if you didn't get anything at all, too.

I'm sorry, I'm probably not much help.
deem: (say)

It's alright. I wasn't built with magic in mind.

[And it's something he doesn't finds himself particularly troubled by]

I'd be a lot more useful if the technology here wasn't so primitive, though.
soulcomet: (magi ◠ Thou hast it destroyed)

I obviously don't know as much about technology as you do, but I think I agree with you there. It took me forever to find a tea kettle I didn't need to heat using fire.
deem: (...)

Geez, that's so bad...

[Excuse 9S as he grimaces with some measure of exaggeration.

Nothing wrong with a little humor when they're stuck with ancient tech, right?]
