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 | ||||

| 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
And boy, does Walter sound excited.]
I'm... good. Wow, you really can hear me. I mean- no one talks to me on the living end except Ms. Regis, but I can hear people talking ABOUT me. I uh... hear my body was pretty mangled up for a while, I hope I'm not grossing you out.
no subject
[ He's been worse. Clean bones are incredibly tame. ]
So when you're moving around, you can't exert any control yourself? You can either communicate or be mobile.[ He glances to her, quirks a quick smile for the look. ] Or let her be mobile for you, I mean.
no subject
[Letha pipes up then to fill in the gaps:]
When I'm moving him, I'm filling his body with a bit of my own soul - so there's no room for his to inhabit it. If that makes sense.
no subject
So he's being pulled out of and pushed into the afterlife constantly?
no subject
If we're being honest... it's better in the afterlife anyway. She leaves my body under her bed when her boyfriend comes over. If I stay out of my body I can't hear them.
[Letha clears her throat awkwardly at that, her face turning pink.]
no subject
If it's better, why do you keep something back? Where I'm from, there's no crossing back. Not without some gigantic backlash.
no subject
[He lets out a huff.]
Who am I kidding, she just gets really sad whenever I leave her alone too long. All my friends came from the portal and then died and went back through the portal, I've got no one to talk to on one plane or the other. I just come back to see if I can hear anyone's voice except hers.
[Letha is now crossing her arms and refusing to look at Walter. Wow, Walter. She thought you were her friend.]
no subject
In that case, I'll be your friend. Call me Cain.
no subject
[Letha is very heavily considering just forcing Walter out of his body and animating him again, but that would be petty. She instead just sits there, grumbly and upset, planning to save an argument with him until they're not around someone who can hear Walter's (very valid) half.]
no subject
[ He sees Letha out of the corner of his eyes, doesn't comment or react. This is important stuff and he's not going to act shady about helping someone out of a shady thing. ]
no subject
[He'd shrug if he could. Although now he's trying to figure out how he could leave his body and be a ghost, aaand... it looks like he's stuck in it.]
I'm open if you've got ideas. Or, y'know, if you've got a grave somewhere I could go in.
You're just going to be lonely in a grave. I may as well have left you in the jungle if you're going to be like this.
I have to go in a grave at some point, Ms. Regis, that's how death works. Can't you find more skeleton friends?
no subject
Could you do anything to sever his soul from his body?
no subject
If his body was destroyed, he'd no longer be bound to it. I would imagine that would involve salting and burning it, but I've never tried my hand at it.
[She glances up at Cain then.]
But if you're planning to take my risen away, the least you can do is offer to join my club. I'll get lonely without him.
...Are you serious?
no subject
... no. You do get that I don't like the current state Walter is in, right? Or the fact that you're treating a person like a toy you're about to lose?
no subject
I was hoping we could amend this situation and still be friends.
I'm living under your bed, Ms. Regis. There's not a whole lot to amend. Cain, seriously, can you get me out of here?
no subject
It was nice to meet you, Ms. Regis, but I don't feel like being friends with a necromancer. Especially one who doesn't get what she's doing.
You good, Walter?
no subject
[She's just slack-jawed with awe as he takes away her skeleton, and can't even formulate a biting remark before he leaves. She just presses her forehead to the table with an angry huff.]
no subject
