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
Ah yes.. s-s-something magical indeed!
[ s t o p. ]
no subject
It's a mental discipline. [ She says it a little smugly, as she reaches for the nearest present. ] Not a spell.
[ And the nearest present... doesn't open. She sighs and shoves it away again to go drifting back out across the water. ]
Pass me the one behind you.
no subject
[ YEAH CAUSE HIS MIND IS DEFINITELY WANDERING GROSS PLACES..... sorry.
He has enough courtesy to not keep looking at her even though she is keeping most of herself concealed-- it feels like he's sharing the onsen with a girl!
Clearing his throat he does as she asks, wading away from the edge of the fountain to pick up the present that is behind him and he drifts over to her, a little closer, then rests his elbows against the side of the fountain. ]
S-Surely.. it is only teaching you patience because it is something really amazing..!
no subject
After all this, I would hope so. [ And with a glance over, surly and irritated: ] Are any of these opening for you?
no subject
Fidgeting, he turns away, probably to hide the stupid grin on his face. ]
I feel as if I've already been given a gift right here--
[ He means about the scenario. He never is around nude girls? It's probably never happened in his life. Ever. And he's 24 years old. ]
--ah! But perhaps I should try, non? It seems fun.
[ He looks around the area to see if any box catches his eye. ]
no subject
I don't even want one of these. [ What a lie. ] I'm sure a fountain can't give me anything worth having in the first place.
no subject
--Well, the most satisfying thing you could have as a gift is something that you can find within yourself.
[ stop. ]
Such as happiness.
[ then why is he here looking for a gift too, huh.. ]
no subject
What had he just said? He just said something. She glances over at him, more wary than trying to remember the thread of the conversation. ]
Well. I guess there was something — maybe you'll find yours, too.
[ Because, personal mystery solved, this is her cue to start scrambling out of the fountain and into the realm of public indecency. ]
no subject
If nothing else, it gave me an opportunity to meet you.
[ Oh.. well, if she's going to just step out of the water like that, he'll make a slight noise of surprise and slap his hands over his eyes (though, he'll probably peek through his fingers too.) ]
no subject
Oh. Right. Humans wear clothes. ]
...I ripped my clothing. I don't have any more with me.
no subject
With trembling hands lowering and holding onto the fountain, he slowly opens one eye completely, eyeballing her because he's disgusting.
She doesn't have clothes, that's fine-- but Karamatsu knows the consequences of public indecency. Something with this girl wasn't exactly right, but Karamatsu cannot quite figure it out.
He's red, from his face all the way down to his neck, but he forces a charming smile, trying not to completely lose it. ]
A-ah, w-well, you can just--
[ He gestures to his clothes on the ground, teeth beginning to chatter together. Poor guy got cold easily. ]
That is perfect fashion, mind you. Only the finest of men's clothing. I do not settle for less. You may.. w-wear that, if you want.
[ oh my god a girl wearing his clothes this is crazy.. ]
no subject
I think I will, actually.
[ And on that note, she waves a hand to cast a spell. Darkness instantly descends on the area, impenetrable by firelight or flashlight — and not just for Karamatsu, if the sudden shouts of alarm from around them are any indication. Onyx's not quite human eyes can pick out shapes in the sudden gloom easily, though, and she stands to casually go and fetch his proffered clothing. It's a nice jacket, actually. As she pulls it on, she decides she likes it. ]
This is a good fit. Thank you.
no subject
Yeeeeep, he's gone. His voice is soft, but it's probably jumped an octave: ]
You can keep it.. if you want.
[ Anybody knows that Karamatsu is very meticulous and protective about his appearance, so he wouldn't just give his clothes away to just anyone... except that's exactly what he just did. Whoops. ]
no subject
That's kind of you. [ She tugs the jacket on straighter, and turns to admire her appearance in a window... but honestly, it's a little too dark for that. A magical blackness is maybe not the best place to go using dark windows as mirrors. ]
I think I'll keep the pants, too.
[ Since they've got a pocket — wait, several pockets — and she needs somewhere to squirrel away that little orb. She pulls them on, and only then does she recall she might be missing something here. As townsfolk mill around them in panicked confusion, Onyx stepping calmly out of their way as needed, she sends one more glance over to Karamatsu. ]
What's your name?
no subject
Matsuno Karamatsu.
How about you? Every thorny rose must have a name. ♡
no subject
Onyx. [ Thorny rose, she likes that. She is a thorny rose, thanks. Her voice gets fainter through the confused din as she heads away: ] See you later, Matsuno.
[ Don't worry, the lights will come back on again in about two minutes, and everyone can enjoy Karamatsu's breezy summer look. ]
