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 by photosynthesis | ||||
| Character Name | ||||
|
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
[Ronan actually doesn't sound unhappy about this, granted he does more than shovel shit on a farm but it gets the meaning across. He'd rather do that than mess with a phone.]
no subject
[ His grin says he's only joking, that he's not unused to work of whatever sort. ]
Really, though? I find it easy, means I get time to do something other than a nine-to-five every week.
no subject
[Ronan can't help but think of his father and the thought alone unsettles him.]
I never worked a nine to five before. It's not so bad. Never got that "love what you do and you'll never work a day of your life."
[Ronan reaches over and taps his bird's feathers before she gets lost in a watchpiece. She stares at him as indignantly as a raven can.]
It's a bullshit saying nine times out of ten but if you're happy with your shitty phone apps, good for you.
[Sadly, that's Ronan's way of trying to be nice.]
no subject
[ It's a very young person thing to say, but Cain really likes the phrase. It doesn't mean anything but it gets something across, and calling a 9-5 a "whatever" is about as accurate as he can make it. ]
Only worked a few myself. Don't have much need for jobs, got a lot squirreled away back home, but there's worse things I could be doing. Like accounting.
no subject
[Magically breathe life back into the livestock. The usual.]
The portal had other plans.
no subject
[ His brows go up. Or maybe it's not hard work to someone who wants to do it, or finds it more of a duty... hard to say. ]
Yeah, I know how that feels.
no subject
[Ronan is virtually certain of that, given his own farm's unique nature, built from literal dreams.]
I'll get back one day. What about you? Do you want to stay here with their weird phones?
no subject
[ Well that's definitely a different kind of farm than Cain is imagining. ]
No, definitely not. I've got things to take care of back home, family to reunite with, all that.
no subject
It's home.
[Ronan says the word "home" as if that's all the explanation that's needed. For anyone whose ever loved a place with all their being, it probably would be. But he's yet to find someone who can relate to the belonging he feels there. Still, a growing part of him doesn't want to return there just yet.]
But Riverview's not a terrible place to take a break from it. As long as everything is on pause. I don't want to come back and Opal's burned down the place.
no subject
[ No matter how much it's grown or shrunk or lost its glory of days gone by, Rome will always be the home that Cain made it to be. For himself and someone else who will never get to live there. It's his in a way no one else gets to claim. ]
Hard to say what's really happening back home but if there's precedent for us getting back when we left, I'll take that hope.
no subject
[Ronan snaps one of the bands on his wrist.]
They're not lying about that. Adam and I are from the same world but not the same time. I got here first and he never filed a missing persons report.
no subject
no subject
[He pauses.]
Did that set your mind at ease?
no subject
[ It's idly said, his own recurrent thought brought back to light. ]
It did, thank you. At least now all I have to worry about is the fire that's there already, not the others that might blow up in the meantime.
no subject
[Ronan lapses into silence, letting Cain take that either as agreement or a question.
At the same time, Chainsaw finally tires of the watch and looks around again.]
no subject
Got a lot of fires back home?
[ Cain sees Chainsaw's attention wander and turns his hand around to lightly wiggle his fingers in the air. See if she cares about that at all. ]
no subject
I've got a kid to look after at home. She gets into everything. I mean, everything. Adam might have mentioned her. He likes her.
no subject
no subject
[...Six? It's hard to estimate her body's age given she came out of his head and she's always been in his dreams.]
Nice to have a break from stopping her from accidentally killing herself. Don't have kids. Unless it's too late. Then I'm sorry.
no subject
You're not sure? Was she adopted? [ He laughs. ] I have kids, yeah.
[ Probably shouldn't mention his youngest two are in their thirties by now. ]
no subject
[He idly tugs at his wrist band, but Chainsaw's interest still lies in Cain's hands.]
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir. Got any advice?
no subject
There's a lot to learn when it comes to kids. Can you narrow it down?
no subject
After one sharp laugh, Ronan sits back again.]
How do you explain shit to them? I swear it's like I'm being cross-examined.
no subject
Patiently. Offering to show them. Sometimes you ask questions back, figure out what they're stuck on.
no subject
Opal's more patient than I am. That's a lost cause.
