[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. ]

[Same feel, man.]

No, no. Elizabeth is my first [a pause] and perhaps the last.

[It's too soon to talk about parting.

He never did mourn Rika, now that he thinks about it.]


... I never would have met her if it weren't for my friends. For them, I'm forever grateful. And you? How did you find Sammy?

I see. It's good to have friends like yours. [He has very few of them, but he still cherishes them every day.]

I had my first meeting with Sammy during a stroll in a forest. It was an afternoon covered in fog. I almost would have missed him if not for his cries piercing through the fog to my ears. He was a young owlet at the time, either abandoned or lost his family. I understand his sorrow of loneliness... So he became family.

[He never had a family so building his own is what he did to ease that pain.]

Sorry this is late!

[It's not often than Jumin is moved by stories. Or perhaps he is, but the times he'd show it are far and few. Eva and Sammy's tale is one of them; tales about loneliness, friendship, and most importantly animals, are certain to provide Jumin with all the laughter and tears he'd ever need.

Probably.]


I'm glad you and Sammy found each other.

[It's not lip service.]

Pets do resemble their owner. Elizabeth III and I are alike in many respects. For example, we both like working alone. We're also both attractive. [oh my god]
akumas: (♔ 002)

all good! 1/3

[personal profile] akumas 2017-09-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I can agree that both of you are very much attractive.

[wait.]
akumas: (♔ 003)

2/3

3/3

[personal profile] akumas 2017-09-02 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I really just say that?!

[Said in a mumble and there goes his face in his hands, trying not to scream.

LOOK HE'S NOT WRONG, JUST NOT THE RIGHT WORDS CAME OUT OF HIM.

[Well.

It's not the first slip up he's heard, but he has been getting a little bored.

So.]


Oh?

[He smirks, like an asshole.]

I'm of the same opinion, but should I take those words as something more than agreement?

W-Wipe that disgusting smirk off of your lips this instant!

[This is why he doesn't want to court anyone! Can he die now?]

I meant what I said by agreeing that both you and Lady Elizabeth are beautiful. That is all!
yancat: by me (he loves me with every beat)

[personal profile] yancat 2017-09-03 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Haha. [Okay, fun over. He straightens up in his seat.]

Truth to be told, I'm not interested in dating. It's a waste of time, and I have little time to lose. Of course, we have to make the most of our situation.

[He offers Eva a handshake.]

I’m Jumin Han.
akumas: (♔ 006)

[personal profile] akumas 2017-09-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Neither am I. I have no time for courting while I am stuck in another realm with various other beings to be part of a magic orientated guild.

[He stares at the hand before reaching out to firmly shake it. There is a professional aura with this one so he must be a human adult for this one.]

Eva Armstrong.
yancat: by me (my old man is a bad man but)

[personal profile] yancat 2017-09-05 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Eva. It's a pleasure.

[He doesn't really mean that. They're stuck speed dating for the next hour or so. It's not gonna be pretty.]

You don't possess any magical abilities, I presume?
