monthly mingle: PRIJATA
what: monthly mingle: prijata
when: the month of june
where: anywhere around the city
warnings: please put any necessary warnings in the subject lines
In the days leading up to June 1st, residents new and old will notice preparations beginning, a flurry of activity getting the city ready for the upcoming celebration: Prijata. Riverview Quarantine has a strong culture of love, and they celebrate all types - Prijata is a special celebration of platonic love and building community through friendship. Prijata traditions include gift exchanges between friends, sharing meals cooked together by friend groups, and a variety of events and services aimed at making friends.
Prijata is a relatively relaxed holiday, focused mainly on friendship and platonic love - dedicated to appreciating the friends already in one's life, and opening oneself up to making new friends. Besides the private giving of gifts between friends, there is also a city-wide government-sponsored gift fountain that is open throughout the entire month. Included in the wide variety of events catered to finding new friends, are 'speed friending' and a large open exhibition where all the specialized clubs in Riverview can recruit for new members - and residents new or old can create a club and recruit.
i. gift fountain
While Prijata gift exchanges between friends are generally a quiet affair, done at friend-group dinners or parties, the element of gift giving does extend outward - community-wide, in fact. Throughout the course of the month, anyone living in Riverview Quarantine can drop by the huge fountain in the City Center, in front of the City Hall. They will find that the fountain is chock full of floating gift boxes in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and different shapes - though none larger than a shoe box. There are signs put up around the fountain stating that the boxes are magic and will only seek and open for their rightful owners. Characters will find that, upon touching the water, a box will float over to them, and when they pick it up, the top will unfurl like flower petals, displaying the gift inside. Sometimes, the box won't appear on the first try, since there's only so much space in the fountain at any given time, but if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Every person in the city (including new arrivals) will receive one gift by the end of the month.
Gift fountain boxes will contain one small item from each character's home dimension (or, for CRAUs, from their previous game), similar to the "items from home" bonus reward, but without needing to spend points. The item should be small enough to fit in a shoebox, sentimental, and cannot be something intended for another person's character. If you can't think of an item like this that would work for your character, something of similar size and quality to what's described above that would make the character very happy can be substituted.
This prompt can also be used for gift exchanges and for characters to receive the Government-given gifts that were suggested in the Prijata Pregaming post on the meme community. Any newly apped character is welcome to post on the meme entry as soon as they're accepted, and will be linked to it in this month's acceptance notification, so to all you pre-existing players please keep looking at the Prijata Pregame meme throughout app week and afterward to help give new arrivals a warm friendly welcome!
ii. speed-friending
This is pretty much what it says on the tin! Much like speed-dating setups, many bars, coffee shops, and other places that people might gather are holding speed-friending! It's your standard setup - characters enter and fill out a quick questionnaire about themselves, and flit from table to table looking for someone with great friend chemistry. Not all of them are general and open to anyone who walks in, though, with many being specialized to people who are invested in certain hobbies, occupations, or with specific sets of interests. With specialized speed-friending setups ranging from horror movie buffs to members of the Perimeter Guard to fashionistas to sports or martial arts to video games, no matter what your character is into, they're likely to be able to sign up for a special event where they can go looking for a friend who's into the same things they are!
For this prompt, you can put up a list of hobbies or interests your character has, and compatible characters can hit them up for a speed-friending thread, like the IC equivalent of the CR meme!
iii. club exhibition
Speed-friending is all well and good, but not everyone is outgoing or open enough to know if they have friend chemistry in only a few minutes. For anyone looking to find groups of like-minded individuals they can spend more than a few minutes with before committing to something as daunting as a friendship, there is a month-long club exhibition happening in the Town Square in the City Center. Table after table and booth after booth are occupied by existing clubs in the city, with an incredibly broad scope of focus interests and hobbies - enough that any character should be able to find a club with their niche interest represented.
And if it isn't? Characters are welcome to start their own clubs - much like a business, a character-run club can have space set aside in the city for meetings and event mingles that are eligible for Activity Point Bonuses for the organizer.
iv. amusement park & waterfight
Remember the Amusement Park that citizens of the city were working together to clean up and power up a couple of months ago? Well, the endeavor has proven to be a success, and after a lot of hard work and technical expertise, the amusement park is up and running! For the first two weeks of June, admission will be free to honor those who helped make the park usable.
Sporting just about any amusement park ride you can think of, from kiddie rides, merry-go-rounds, and ferris wheels to high-speed roller coasters and more extreme rides for the thrill-seekers, the park takes it a step further by adding in a lot of different high-tech attractions not available at conventional amusement parks. It has banks and banks of VR simulators that allow park-goers to enjoy a variety of adventures and scenarios, or join shared mutual worlds with other users to explore or take out their aggression with a VR first-person shooter. There are also rows and rows of typical carnival games, some heavily rigged and some not, with prizes ranging from dollar store trinkets to stuffed animals to bits of advanced tech.
For the month of grand opening, though, the amusement park is offering a couple interesting events - a naming contest for the park, and a park-wide water fight.
The water fight is opt-in, with participants signing up and being given a purple or orange flag, tank top, or cap to wear marking them as to which team they're part of. There are buckets of water balloons around the park that are constantly being refilled by staff, and water fighters can participate in special target practice games to win the use of a watergun for the duration of the day - how big your watergun is depends on how well you do in the game! Ultimately, there aren't any real winners or losers, because the point is to get wet in the brand new summer heat, but it's always more fun to cool off with a bit of competition involved, right?
The naming contest is another story. Anyone who visits the park is welcome to think up a name for the park, and all entries will be listed on a large LED board. Every customer who enters the park is invited to vote for their favorite name, and the name with the most votes wins! To submit either an in-character suggestion or a suggestion from yourself as a player, hit up the thread below with a new top-level; whether or not you have a neat idea, place a vote for your favorite! Votes are one per player; suggestions are one per character.
v. roommates or wildcard
Feel free to use this prompt to set up headers for a communal floor, or threads open to roommates for the purpose of getting to know each other. Or if you have an idea for a prompt that isn't in this list, set during Prijata, feel free to write it up!

[That's not entirely true, but Merle is kind of a forgetful and does tend to use ineffective spells. Also Taako likes giving him shit.]
Also he made me listen to him have sex with plants one time so like, I'm never gonna forgive that.
no subject
[ Kind of a mess, but funny. ]
...wait, he had sex with plants?
no subject
[And then those same vines tried to eat his dick and then Sloane nearly killed them all. It wasn't the best day.]
no subject
[ Subtly adding it to his list of shit to try at least once, though. Not that he could speak to plants or anything, but Molly doesn't kinkshame.
(Only because he doesn't know Merle.) ]
no subject
[Taako will absolutely kink shame Merle]
no subject
The dancing naked in the moonlight kind of stereotype?
no subject
A little of that, a little just crunchy nature bullshit, I've never really met other Pan worshippers so I can't speak for them as a whole.
no subject
You have strange friends, Taako.
no subject
My sister and her boyfriend are liches.
no subject
I give up. My brain has stopped working. I'm gonna get really drunk and sleep in an alley.
no subject
[He's fairly sure all the people in the house would like Molly.]
no subject
A generous offer, but I might actually need a padded room if I'm gonna see liches.
[ And, you know. Order of the Ghostslayer. He can literally feel them. ]
no subject
One of 'em isn't here anymore, and Lup's got herself a body these days. And she's like-- she's fine, not evil or any of that shit, turns out you can get good liches if you try hard enough.
no subject
How? [ Is his final reply. ]
no subject
Love. Cheesy as fuck, but they did it out of love and that keeps 'em anchored.
no subject
[ The bartender comes over with a tray of shots and relieves Molly of his last money (all spent on the festival and drinks) and the tiefling gives her a very grateful look. ]
no subject
Are you gonna be okay, bubbale? I didn't mean to break you in your first week.
no subject
[ He smiles a little, masking how he was uncomfortable about the fact that he can't really bullshit his way out of these reactions. To be fair it wasn't just Taako being Taako that had him a little wrung out, but it certainly tripped him all the way down rather than hanging in the balance.
Pardon him, he's just gonna take a shot. ]
no subject
[He knows how important it is to have a brand.]
Where I'm from is uh, sort of an outlier when it comes to being fucking wild. Aside from the superheros, maybe.
no subject
[ Now he's had two drinks and a shot, so that slightly fuzzy feeling is excellent right now. ]
...and what are superheroes?
no subject
It's like - people with powers, different than magic, like they can fly or are super strong and they fight crime or whatever. A bunch of goody two shoe dipshits, but useful if you make friends with 'em.
[Listen.
He's not stupid.]
no subject
I want to meet them. I want to see all of the these things you've told me. I don't even care that it's weird as hell.
[ He wants the experience, no matter how fucked up it is. ]
no subject
Here, uh, gimme the device they gave you when ya got here. [He holds out a hand, just assuming Molly will listen.] I'll make you a list.
no subject
[ Molly reaches into the coat next to him and digs out the phone from a hidden compartment in his sleeve. It's very standard, as he'd not had the time do do really anything with it yet. ]
no subject
[First things first: he puts in his own details, under "Taako (the hot elf)" and then opens up the notepad app to write a list titled "Places and people that don't suck". There's a few places to eat and drink and shop on there, along with the names of Taako's circle of friends, or at least the ones that he thinks Molly might get along with.
Once it's saved, he offers it back.]
There ya go, all done. If you got any questions about the technology, I've put Cisco on the list and he's great with this shit, especially when it comes to explaining shit to people that aren't used to it.
