[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. ]

Cats are... magnificent?

[like, what.

she recovers, though. right now, like this, she's just a girl of her age, 19, talking. he's not wrong to think she's simple, because nothing about her hints at deception, yet she isn't ashamed by her simplicity, either.]


Yes, all of God's creatures are magnificent. I don't completely understand, but it sounds like you had your own challenges, Jumin.

[He thought he left some nice hooks there. She could have talked more about cats. That would have been a pleasant five-minute conversation. She could have spoken more about France. Domremy isn't a village he'd gone out of his way to visit. She could have said many things, all which he'd predicted from both theory and experience.

Instead, she zooms in on what he thought he'd hidden.

He lets out a semblance of a laugh, unsure if it's a sound he should be making. No one's ever told him his life was difficult.]


Yes. I guess I have, haven't I?

[And he certainly didn't expect those words to come from Jeanne. His troubles are nothing compared to hers.]

... Sorry, I usually know what to say next.
