[closed-ish] Signs of love overshadowed by dreams

Who: Everyone who signed up for speed-dating/speed-friending! (and maybe some people who just wander in?)
When: IC Date: 6/9
Where: A large booth at the CERES Academy cultural festival
What: Rise's holding a special event to help bring people together at the cultural festival! This may be chaotic
Rating/Warning: N/A thus far! Rise with a megaphone might be a warning though...


[The cultural festival at the school has been in full-on planning mode for a few weeks. Rise is no exception to the planning and included in the flyers that have gone up is a notice printed on bright pink paper and bold lettering for a very special event.

The booth itself has been set up with a small cluster of tables to accommodate for the amount of people who have been signed up and even for a few last-minute sign-ups. The tables themselves have been decorated with special candles and a tray containing two bowls, two spoons, and a a tray with all the ingredients needed for an ice cream sundae.

At the front of the booth is a collection of heart-shaped name tags with all of the names of each individual whose signed up, along with a number attached. Rise will smile at each person, handing both the name tag and a small envelope to them with instructions not to open it until she says so.

It’s only when everyone has arrived and is crowded inside the booth that she pulls out a megaphone (and really, who gave her that?) and she turns it on.]


Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Cerealia School Speed-Matching event! Meeting people can be really hard here, but don’t worry, we’re making it easy! You’ll see that the tables all have numbers assigned to them. On my count, open your envelopes and see who you’re starting with. When the bell rings, switch partners! Seems pretty simple, huh?

[Nobody gets to get a say in this apparently, but they may see one Yu Narukami who’s sitting on the table behind Rise just watching everyone casual as can be. Why is he wearing glasses? Who knows.]

Okie dokie! Let’s get this show on the road! On your mark…get set…open!

[Hope you’re ready, colonists. Inside each envelope is a starter number for the first match, and also a list of starter questions for asking people about themselves. Some people have lists corresponding with the speed dating route, while others are for the “friends only” route. But wait…what’s that? Some of those lists are crosswired? Your character would try to mingle with everybody and flirt anyway? Well hey. At least people will be talking and mingling.

Oh, and don’t mind the people who may wander in and out of the event. Rise will try to moderator the event to her best ability but hey, she’s pretty social herself. Some people are bound to slip in and out under her watch. Have fun! And remember, beware of the bell! (Or Rise announcing "SWITCH" in a loud voice via megaphone, same thing.)]

[ooc: Hello everyone, welcome to the speed-friending/dating event! Thank you to everyone who signed up; above you’ll see a list of people and numbers for you to pick from! Pick your number and your friend/date by visiting the number generator to randomly pick a number to match your character with! Feel free to post top-levels inviting others to just tag in or tag around, too, without using the RNG. Any questions, please hit me via PM or on plurk at [plurk.com profile] alternatively]

[Excuse Angelo as he snorts in laughter. What kind of question was that? Oh well, he'll amuse Atsushi.]

That depends on the trick. What type would you like to see?
jinko: (52.)

[personal profile] jinko 2016-03-23 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah...! Atsushi perks up a bit, being that he expected Angelo to tell him to stop picking cards and get out of here with his bad questions. He wouldn't have blamed the other guy, really.

Big eyes widening even more in curiosity, he sits up a little straighter.
]

Ah— so you have more than one...? What kind of tricks are they? Magic...?

[personal profile] playboyknight 2016-03-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Well at least he got the other interested in talking more to him and he of course is ready to give the other what he wants.]

Magic and card tricks, take your pick.
jinko: (7.)

[personal profile] jinko 2016-03-23 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... magic, then? Is it something you'd be able to do without props?

[ Here he is, leaning forward in his seat a bit. Maybe a bit overeager, but he's earnest about it, at the very least. ]

[personal profile] playboyknight 2016-03-23 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need props for magic. That's only what stage show magicians and court jesters use.

[He holds out one of his hands as if he's holding something in said hand. Then after a moment of focus for casting, a sphere of pure wind appears in his hand.]

Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say?
jinko: (61.)

[personal profile] jinko 2016-03-24 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ 'Impressive' is one way to describe it. Atsushi is an Ability user, himself, but it's nothing like this; he's seen a lot of strange things in his life, but he'll still be earnestly awed every time.

His eyes go wide and he pulls hack from Angelo's hand, just in case being too close to that sphere is dangerous.
]

Wh, whoa...! That's amazing, is your Ability the power to control wind...? [ At the very least, he's speaking as if he knows what these sorts of things entail. ]

[personal profile] playboyknight 2016-03-24 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He quirks an eyebrow at Atsushi. What was he going on about? He'll answer the best he can though.]

No, my magic isn't entirely wind based. I can cast other types of spells, both offensive and defensive.
jinko: (36.)

[personal profile] jinko 2016-03-25 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Eh...? So you have more than one special ability...?

[ That's new, and Atsushi looks on with no small amount of awe. ]

Ah, that's to say... in my world, Ability users only specialized in one thing.
playboyknight: (03)

[personal profile] playboyknight 2016-03-25 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh yes? That's also interesting to hear.

[Because really, being specialized in one thing is something he's rarely heard of in people who fight in his world.]
