[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. ]

It seems like they're going to get what they want, for now. Which is all of us speed dating.

[She's taking slow bites of hers.]

What is your name? I'm Haru, by the way.

[He sighs, frowning down at his breadstick.] Riiight. I guess they did. Where the hell did they even get that idea from? Never even heard of speed dating before.

Name's Python though. Good to meet you, I guess.

Under the circumstances, I guess it is also nice to meet you Python-kun.

[She looks over to their bowl of questions.]

... favorite animal?

[She swears to god if he says python......]

Uhhhh.

[Yeah, he's gotten a few jokes about his name recently, maybe he should avoid them this time.] Dunno, I'm not much of an animal guy.

Maybe cats? They sleep a lot, right? Cause that sounds like the good life.

But you probably have a favorite animal, don't you?

I would say that cats are a favorite of mine too.

[She could wax poetic about Morgana again. Because geez she really misses him.]

What are you interested in?

See? Common ground already!

[A pause. Oh. What he's interested in? That's... huh.]

In general? Uh... archery? Living like a cat? People don't usually ask me this kinda' thing.


[ooc; i had to go on unexpected hiatus, sorry for the late reply! and feel free to drop the thread if it's been too long]

Archery, huh? I don't think I know too many people into archery. That's pretty neat.

[She laughs, though awkwardly.] I understand, this definitely isn't normal.

ooc: it's no problem! i am completely fine with backtagging!

Yeah? It's not so uncommon where I'm from, hunters gotta do something. [A pause.] ...Not that I'm a hunter.

[He shrugs.] I was sort of wondering if this whole thing's normal for some of the rest of you though. But I guess no one's asking you about your interests all the time?

[ooc; thank you!!]
