[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. ]

That's a blunt way of putting it.

[ jude just. sort of squints at him. hibiki is just full of surprises... ]

I... think that's enough with the questions.

[ they'll probably get whisked away any minute now, anyway. ]

Dating is exhausting... but you don't seem like you had too terrible a time. Is that good?

Maybe just a little.

[ Definitely not just a little, but he doesn't seem to be bothered by Jude pointing it out at all. ]

The real thing might be better. I wonder...and yes, I did. It's always good to find out that someone is actually a hard worker.

[ hold up. ]

Are you implying that you wouldn't be opposed to a second date?

[ his tone isn't judgmental or nervous. just curious. ]

...

[ Water. Where's the glass of water. Just give him something to cover his face, now bright red. ]

I was just...thinking loud, that's all. Listen, I have work and no time for...

[ Where is your cool now, Hibiki ]

[ jude's face is an interesting shade of red, himself, but he's so. endeared? by seeing hibiki so off guard. ]

Right. Sure.

I guess I'll see you around, then?

[ there's a surprisingly coy smile on his face. ]

Why are you blushing—

[ Oops, their time ran out. The chair yanking Hibiki away all of a sudden is anything but a friendly reminder of that. ]
