[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. ]

[laughing at the mental image that pulls to mind]

It's nice that even here, there's still a way for humans and seraphim to interact. It feels like it was a distant dream just yesterday.

Maybe next time you can hold a mask in front of your face so they know where it is.

I did start eating after that so they'd know where it was, but it's not like they warned us we'd be stuck at tables talking to each other.

Think we could borrow a little of this magic when we go back home...?

[the chairs are stating to judder under them in preparation for moving them, uh oh]

[uh oh!! he huffs in minor irritation. how do they expect people to have a conversation like this??]

If we can figure out how to bring it back then I'm all for it.

Sounds like a plan.

[>D]

Good luck on the rest of your dates. I'll be rooting for you.
