[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. ]

And then it's back to the boar jerky. [He didn't even want to THINK about the crabs. Or about all the vomiting.]

Maybe the next world we visit will have a hardware store.

Perhaps. Or it'll be a place like Limsa Lominsa, with the finest dining any could ever hope for!

Candlelight, wine, and the most scrutinizing of kitchen staff ensuring a steak just melts in your mouth simply rich with the stray sprinkle of bleu cheese left upon it during its rest period. A soft, tender baked popoto, and a cool endive salad with tend'rest pears...

[She nearly doubled over laughing.]

I'm sorry, I can't help it! But for the record, I'm not sorry at all!

[Overhead, a bell jingled. Well, fishsticks.]

Oh, goodness, is it nearly up already? Well, sorry to sling food porn at you, but do hit me up sometime. I'll make you a meal.

I'm collectin' on that, Maddie.

[And maybe he could figure out SOME way to get a kitchen set up before his stomach concaved.]

Hope your next one's good, but try not to punch 'em in the face to check, yeah?

I'd be disappointed if you didn't!

[She waved her farewell.]

I can only behave so much, Red! But you take care.

[And away the chairs go!]
