[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. ]

Oh -- probably. ( He'll never get used to being from a supposedly abnormal world. )

Other people from Earth thought it was strange that I lived in a world with trolls and the like, so I'm sure that's it. What year are you from?

Yeah, trolls are new. And you said that a witch put a curse on your friend, so I guess magic's common?

[Interesting either way.]

S'the 1990s for me.

[Save him from the Spice Girls.]

His magic from Qri is actually insomnia, but he used his mage magic to try and force himself to sleep -- magic is abundant in my world and he's a Finnish mage.

( ABBA wasn't around in the 90s so he can keep it. )

And oh, I think you're from the past. We restarted the calendar in 2012. ( The apocalypse, it's a long story. )

Huh. One hundred plus years and magic's everywhere for you. That's...a change, to be sure.

[Waver's heard of some Finnish mage families, so this at least checks out.]

It's weird to think of a world without the influence of Gods and everything -- not that it's something I care about, but it's there and obviously a part of some cultures.

( He could honestly go on about this topc -- mostly about how stupid he finds magical cultures because Sweden is The Best, but oops -- time to motor. His chair begins to take off, which he really wishes it would give him some warning but. Nah. )

Oh, uh. Time to go I gu-- ( His sentence is cut off as his chair zooms away to some other far off table. See ya space cowboy. )
