introductory mingle: PRIJATA
what: Introductory Log and Prijata Celebration
when: June 1st - June 8th
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 week. 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 week, 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 week.
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. ETA: 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 posts on the OOC community and the TDM.
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 week-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. unveiling the new friendr
Prijata this year is marked by something special - the unveiling of a code rebuild of the ubiquitous Friendr app! Anyone with the app installed already will receive a prompt to update the app, and if anyone hasn't yet downloaded it, they'll receive a quick, easily-dismissed pop-up ad on their device when they next access the network, asking if they want to. No one is obligated, and the ad is a one-time instance, intended to make sure any character who hasn't heard of the app gets a chance.
The Friendr app is a swipe-left-or-right style friend matching and/or dating app that is very common in Riverview, both for PCs and NPCs, and it has received an upgrade with a new appearance, a new interests line for more accurate matching, and a wide variety of themes so that the colors can be customized!
Please see the updated appearance below, with the 'default' color scheme. Players are free to change the colors or appearance of the code but please do not remove the credit line showing where the base code came from, out of respect for the code creator.
| Friendr | ||||
| « |  | » | ||
| » Age: your character's age » Seeking: friendship/romantic/anything » Preferences: sexual preference or n/a » Interests: three interests » Bio: 30 words or less | ||||

base code found here.
For this prompt, you can either post your character's new, fancy Friendr app profile in the comments, or provide a link to their updated code in an entry on their journal. Whatever floats your boat!
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!

no subject
"Yeah, and how do you know it was me?" Ronan thought about pretending he knew nothing of it for a while longer. He was good at redirection. But it was pointless in this case. Even if Ivar didn't know better, Ronan's brief, proud smile gave it away.
That wheelchair had been harder than he expected. He'd made more intricate things, sure, but most of it had been accidental.
"You don't have to thank me. A viking needs killer wheels or it's a missed opportunity."
no subject
He wheeled up next to Ronan, preferring to look at the cattle instead of him, afraid that his face would give too much away. "Still, you didn't have to and you did." He held out a small bag, still determined to not look Ronan in the eye.
"I got you something too, though it's not nearly as awesome as this."
no subject
Curious, at both the gift and the way Ivar wasn't looking at him, Ronan took the bag.
A brief and, Ronan felt, irrational thought burst into his head that this might be something romantic. Ronan dreaded the prospect, primarily because he had a boyfriend, but he soon reassured himself that Ivar was a viking. He probably hated people knowing he had a heart as much as Ronan did.
The thought was soon struck from his mind when Ronan opened the bag.
"Aw sweet, man." He pulled out the boxing wraps. "Black as sin. Fucking awesome. God, I can't wait to test these suckers out." He flexed his hand before he started wrapping them around his fist.
Ronan was like a kid in a candy store if the candy store was outside a MMA match.
no subject
He looked both relieved and happy at Ronan's response to his gift, finally able to look Ronan again in the eye. That was just how he'd been hoping the other teen would react. "I thought you would like them." That intellect that allowed Ivar to know what people were thinking and how they would react also made him an excellent gift-giver.
"What are you going to use them on? The living sides of beef over there?" He gestured to the cows.
no subject
Ronan considered how he could go about boxing or fighting in general while not alerting Adam to the fact that he was risking more concussions. He decided Adam would just have to live with it.
no subject
"Just don't beat them up too badly. Are you aware of how many police officers are in this city?" Ivar had become very aware of that fact after ending up in the hospital. If it hadn't been for his quick thinking and a half-lie, he would have likely been sitting in a jail cell right now.
no subject
no subject
"Put me down as one of those people. I'd love to show you what I can do." A sparring session between the two of them would most likely end with a doctor's visit when one of them got a bit too enthusiastic with their punches, but it would also be immensely satisfying to hit someone who wouldn't hold back.
no subject
Ronan lighly punched Ivar's shoulder, then twisted his wrist so his knuckles dug in. He pulled his hand away. "You're on," he paused and added. "Let's keep this one between us. If anyone catches me beating the crap out of you, they'll get the wrong idea."
Ronan knew that Ivar wasn't defenseless, but the optics weren't great. Also, Adam would be furious. He'd need some time to come up with the right spin.
no subject
"Of course. I'm sure most people won't understand you trying to beat up a poor, helpless cripple in a wheelchair." Anyone who knew Ivar would know just how much of a misconception that was. He was just as likely to beat the crap out of someone as they were to do the same to him. He hadn't grown up with four brothers without learning how to throw and take a punch.
no subject
PTSD, yes."Depends on who you talk to. It means I'm rich. I'm not working out the conversion rate." He stared back at his current herd. The ones back home were all sleeping, perhaps forever if Ronan couldn't wake them. Ronan would give up all of his fortune to wake the sleepers and rebuild the place, then worry about bankruptcy later.
His smile thinned. He looked back at Ivar, eager to dash those thoughts away. "Trying? I'm going to beat someone up but not a poor, helpess cripple. Don't you dare let me down."
no subject
Ivar slugged Ronan hard on the side of his arm, a move one part affection and one part to show him that he did know what he was talking about when it came to fighting. "Wouldn't dream of it." He was definitely going to look forward to this. Ronan couldn't know it, but for most Vikings, sparring with someone they held a crush for was akin to openly flirting.
no subject
The punch drew him back from those brief thoughts. He smirked in response. "Yeah, don't get your hopes up. You're not sending me to Valhalla yet. I'll see you then."
