[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. ]

...

[...]

...um, my Servant told me that "one of us has to have at least a little dignity" recently.

[She sighs.]

Plus, I'm really interested in traveling and seeing new things, trying out new experiences. Wouldn't being a... pet... get in the way of that?
yancat: by me (he loves me with every beat)

Not really. Some owners like to travel. Some owners could have anything they wanted.

[Like him. You know, just saying.]

But I see you've found a Servant. Though he doesn't sound like the one you described...
sealeted: (I'll only want you more)

[Wow, it's almost like he's implying something there.]

Yes, Robin was somebody I faced in the past, multiple times. Very different from Gilgamesh. It's good to see him living well here.

Ah. I see you've met Mr. Hood.

[STEALING FROM THE RICH AGAIN, HE SEES.

But no, he's not sure if he should be surprised. Hakuno does seem like she'd get along with anybody.]


I did see the inconsistencies of their character. Perhaps one could benefit from the other... if they don't end up at each other's throats.

[But speaking of violence —]

Is he protecting you?
sealeted: (from these stars)

[What exactly is he stealing in this situation, Jumin...]

Yes, he's been looking after me, from time to time. Though...well, I don't think Robin and Gilgamesh could ever be friends, for many reasons.

[Countless reasons. Before she can think too deeply on that, though, her chair gives a warning wobble.

Their time is almost up.]
yancat: by me (he doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past)

[personal profile] yancat 2017-08-31 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think he and I could, either.

[His chair whisks him away before Hakuno can get a word in. Although her smile is bright, he leaves with a frown less than satisfied. Of all the heroes in the world, why Robin? It's almost as if the entire universe is up against him.]
