[WORLD ONE] SPEED DATING EXTRAVAGANZA

[spellbindmods]

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. ]

[She's had to see the King naked multiple times. He knows nothing of weirdness.]

...a very rude, arrogant person. But even he had basic manners... though it was a gamble if he saw fit to use them sometimes.

So what you're saying is, he's not a reliable comparison in the slightest.

[ to hell with weirdness. weirdness doesn't mean anything in comparison to living off the souls of a bunch of dying orphans in a church basement for a decade. or turning matou shinji into that monstrosity. or tearing out illya's heart like that (because who else leaves blood on a floor after dying like that? not the servant, certainly).

also fuck, that guilt too at giving rin over to gilgamesh's master in that desperate, selfish last attempt to prove to emiya shirou his ideals were worth nothing after all. ]

[That is weird, even for Gilgamesh. Hakuno has certainly never known him to partake in such behaviors.]

What I'm saying is, you failed to clear one of the lowest bars I could lay out for another sentient person.

[nockpoint]

Perhaps it's a good thing that familiars aren't people, then. You can still have your lowest standard unmatched.

[ perhaps, a more enlightening perspective on his feelings about himself than he intended, when all it seemed to be was a continuation of this lie. ]

A 'familiar' is a being summoned and bound by magic, isn't it?
