[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. ]

[He assumes she's sincere about it, so he nods eagerly.]

Of course! No need to fret there. [A beat. Wait, fuck, that must seem insulting.] I only mean that um— It's nothing to do with you! You're beautiful and I'm sure you're lovely, I just—

[That feels like it made it worse.]

Erm, sorry!

[She felt more at ease when he agreed with her the first time. It was enough for her shoulders to loosen up from all the stress, but…..he had to compliment her, didn’t he? Not just compliment her, but do it in a way that she can’t get upset over this betrayal. This complete and utter betrayal!]

...somehow, I’m having a difficult time finding a way to respond to… [Wide hand gestures] all of that!

[What should she do? Tell him her urge to punch him or offer her gratitude for the compliment? It was a tough call, but.]

I think I should give you a proper lesson about noticing what actual beauty is. As much as I appreciate the compliment, it isn’t necessary. I know where I stand on that subject.

[Her sisters will always be the true beauties and divas of her world. Second to her mother, of course. No one can ever compare to any of them.]

So, again, you don’t have to try too hard. [With a small, playful smile.] Unless you’re actually interested about that beauty lesson I just offered after all?

[Was there a light threatening undertone to her question?]
