[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 — um. Thank you! I'm 14, but I'll be 15 pretty soon.
drizzle: (glad)

No kidding. When? Is it around the corner?

[Madoka looks a tiny bit sheepish.]

Sort of ... It's October 3rd. [a pretty solid Libra, this girl.]

That’s pretty far off from my point of time. It was mid-spring back home for me.

[She had arrived to the Sun Kingdom in the very beginning of spring, and has been there for almost three months too.]

How about you? What season were you in before coming here?
soulcomet: (human ◡ make even three)

[strangely enough, Madoka seems confused by Nike's question. ... and then rather bothered by it. what season had it been? were the cherry blossoms blooming? how had she managed to lose track of the time back home, but not here?]

You know, you're the third person to ask me something about my world, and I haven't ... it's taking longer than it should to have an answer for you. [maybe she's just tired.]

But I think it may have been spring?

[Nike will remain silent while she gives the other girl the chance to explain herself. The look on her face and gaze was more than enough to show her feelings very well. She has no clue about the length of time she has been taken for. All she could do was assume it was the case -- she has been away from home longer than her.

Reaching out for her hand, Nike will give it a small reassuring squeeze while shaking her head.]


It’s okay, don’t worry about it. I understand. You don’t need to answer all of my questions. I was just curious if your birthday was close to celebrate it with you.

[She had made the assumption it was close after being told. Just like she assume Madoka may have been part of her group of arrival too. With a small smile, she’ll point out.]

But, I’m glad we were both able to see spring though. Right now, in this world, we’re in the middle of the autumn season. Did you know that?
soulcomet: (magi ◠ don't worry)

[Madoka's grateful with the gesture, and will just. hang on to Nike's hand for a little while.]

I did ... Sorry, I didn't mean to get upset. I just ... It's starting to feel like I'm either going crazy, or I'm forgetting something really important.
drizzle: (why do you question it)

sorry for late reply, computer broke :(

Are you?

[There was no way that Nike was gonna pull away after feeling the other girl's grip on it. Along with her own memory issues to boot. It was hard not to feel concern for the other girl while wishing not to alarm her neither.]

Well, it's okay to get upset. You can't exactly control that sort of thing, not when you're having trouble remembering something pretty important.

[With some thought, she'll add.]

You're handling very well, if it helps. Remaining calm is always a good first step in facing any type of issue. You could miss an important detail if you get too obsessive over it.
