[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. ]

I'm Sorey. It's very nice to meet you, Madoka.

[he offers her his hand, because that's just polite.]

Is it okay if I ask what you like to do for fun? That seems like a good question to ask a friend.

[she smiles at that, and takes Sorey's hand. handshake is a go!]

It's nice to meet you, too, Sorey-san. Um ... well, I really like drawing, and crafts! I also like gardening, and trying new foods.

What about you?
imsorey: (Bright as an empty canvas)

[oh no that's so cute, he can't help but smile]

I like trying new foods too! My friend makes some really good desserts and I always have to try his. I also like reading and exploring ruins; that's pretty much all I did growing up. Have you been able to make any crafts here? Gardening might be easier if it's hard to find craft supplies, right?
soulcomet: (human ◡ In ruin ’tis hurled)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-29 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well ... it's been easy enough to find things to draw on, anyway!

To be honest, I haven't really had a lot of time to do any crafting or gardening. I've been too busy trying out new food.
imsorey: (Dripping like a saturated sunrise)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-08-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've been trying out the food too. We've got a lot in common already.

[he says it with a little good-natured humor in his voice; one of the easiest things to do is try new food on a new world, so it isn't exactly the most unique thing]

Is there anything you've tried that you'd like to try making yourself?
soulcomet: (human ◡ madokasplainng)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-30 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Falafel — it isn't like anything I've ever had before, and I really liked it.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to make it, though ... I'm not nearly as good of a cook as my papa is.
imsorey: (Will you still reach out to me?)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-08-31 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Then how about making it with someone else? Even if it doesn't turn out as good as your dad's cooking, it'll still be a fun experience.
soulcomet: (magi ◠ check it out)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2017-08-31 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! Do you like to cook? We could make it together.
imsorey: (We are diamonds taking shape)

[personal profile] imsorey 2017-09-02 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I like cooking food about as much as I like eating it, yeah. If you don't mind having me as a cooking partner then I'd be happy to join you.
