[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. ]

[Mikleo's expression goes from goofy to shocked in the space of a moment; that is a legitemately world-changing revelation 9S just dropped on his head]

You can...so that anyone could see a seraph? By changing the light?

More like changing the way light responds to you, but yeah, something like that.

[He's relieved the concept is much more straightforward than adapting technology to work with the locals' magic. Something like this is easier for him to apprehend, and he's got a good idea of how it could be done...

Just a matter of implementation. So he believes]


Shouldn't have to be too heavy-duty. Maybe something you could wear?

[Technology so ridiculous it comes up with even more ridiculous technology: more likely than you might think]
oneandmikleonly: (run and run as the rains come.)

[he is not normally physically demonstrative but 9S YOU ARE GETTING A HUG

...

it's kind of awkward since they're both tied to their damn chairs, but, it's a hug]
deem: (start)

[And this is his very first hug. Very educational, catching people from across a table and holding them. Or well, it would be, if 9S quite recognized the gesture]

...Mikleo?

[His voice is muffled against a sleeve here, but the puzzlement is clear enough]
oneandmikleonly: (a bargain must be made.)

[personal profile] oneandmikleonly 2017-09-27 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, sorry, sorry, I should have asked, but this is a lot, this means a lot, and --

[flusters, gently letting go of him; oh no the chairs are starting to prepare to move away]

Thank you? Thank you! Let's talk more later!
deem: (support)

[And so their game of musical chairs goes on. 9S opens his mouth to speak, but they're being swept off to other tables. So he thinks better of it]

I don't see a reason to be sorry, but... I'll let you know when I have something.

[It'll take him a while to figure out that was a hug]
