[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. ]

[If her head didn't sting so much, then she would give Mikleo a little smartass reply because she has a lot of ill feelings over the way they were tricked into meeting with an unfair expectation to come out of it. As much as she hates to be like this, her hurt feelings were getting the better of her.

But when the other guy begins to worry over her, she'll shake her hand a bit.]


I'm fine. Don't worry about it. Some bruising came out of it. See?

[She'll lift her hair bangs out of the way to show Mikleo a small bandage at the side of her forehead. It was no joke that she had intentionally attempted to harm herself to get out of the speed dating. The Palai separated her from the table almost immediately.]

Getting out of this due to injury won't happen since they'll only move you away from whatever you're trying to hurt yourself with. There's a reason our seats are being controlled by them.

[It's not just to keep them from leaving, they have literally planned out on all outcomes of escape.]

Well, if you want something to stop the ache, it won't take a moment.

[the offer's open while they're here. puts a hand behind his head for a moment, though, surprised]

You really don't want to be here, huh...? Is it the being moved around unwillingly or just the whole dating thing? I don't think we're expected to, er, actually partner off if we don't want to.
