[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. ]

... I wouldn't disagree with you there either.

[Which is something that's confused her, arguably even made her uncomfortable, for a long time. 9S cares about her so much despite the fact that she's his executioner. All she's ever done for him is kill him. She's not sure she'll ever really understand that.

Just like she's not sure she'll ever understand why Jude is so interested in her friendship, so glad for it. It's still strange to even think of it as an equal friendship. But nevertheless, she's grateful for it.]


Me, too. I'm glad we became friends, Jude. [Her lips curve ever so slightly, a small but beautiful smile.] Although now I'm curious about what you find fascinating about me.

[He asked her, so it seems fair that she can ask him as well, right??]

[ his smile easily mirrors her own. ]

Well, let's see...

You're smart. Intuitive. Incredibly brave; protective, always putting others before yourself.

[ and he realizes that that's something that's programmed into her, as 9s has explained before, but jude... still finds that braveness admirable. ]

Strong. Caring. Thoughtful, curious.

Um... and, well.

[ jude averts his gaze. is he allowed to say this? really? ]

You have a beautiful smile. It's a rare one, so when it peeks out, it's... it's special.

[ poor jude is red to the tips of his ears. ]

Oh. Well... [For once she's the one a bit flustered. Hearing any kind of compliment on her appearance from humans is still so strange, but if that's what they really think, who is she to argue?] Thank you.

[Praise has never been something 2B sought out, but she thinks there's something nice receiving such compliments from a human. Like she's doing something right, doing her duty well. Or maybe there's just something nice about receiving such praise from a friend, from Jude in particular.

Although as his friend, she really can't help but be concerned.]


Are you sure you're alright though? Your face has been turning re— [BUT ALAS their time is up, and her chair's getting whisked away. Will she ever find out that embarrassment turns people pretty red??]
