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
Watching Tsumugi like this is a little painful, as always. It already has him wanting to yank his hand back and come up with an excuse to walk away. He doesn't, though. Unlike back home, where he could vanish and back away and leave Tsumugi to those who loved and gravitated towards him, here they were both out of place. He had his own group of friends he'd formed, but would Tsumugi have an easy time? There were too many strange characters to trust in fate like that.]
To me, it seems as though it's more that I really needed someone here for myself, and you appeared just in time. Fufu, that sort of prince-like quality is new, isn't it, Tsumugi? You're surprising me more and more.
[What is he even saying... The truth is it doesn't matter as long as he can squeeze Tsumugi's hand back and smile and pretend everything is fine.]
no subject
[ It's too much of a coincidence in this case, though. Why ask for Tsumugi, a former unitmate, instead of his current friends at the tea club or even at fine? Everything that happened between them was said and done, so there really is no need to reunite them in a place such as this. ]
In that case, I'll do my best to entertain you. ♪ Though it seems that you've been here for quite a while now... You must have so many stories to tell! I can't wait to hear all of them.
[ They've finally reached the quaint burger place, and Tsumugi's already famished. He puts his old fine uniform at one of the tables. ]
I'll go get us some food, then. Do you have any recommendations?
no subject
[Why does he have to word it like he's going to hide everything... How obvious. Oh well. He'll just move over and take a seat at the table, since Tsumugi seems fine with being the one to go pick up the food. He keeps his uniform in his lap, hands flat over it.]
I quite enjoy the "otherworldly burger". It's like an American hamburger, with plenty of things making it quite filling.
no subject
Right?
So he nods and off he goes to order some! And it's all on him, of course. He has a bit of money on him, and it's not like Eichi's just as rich here in this new world, right?
Give him around 15 minutes, and he'll come back with two large burgers and two sodas. Eichi can still ingest soda, right ]
Here you go. ♪
no subject
Thank you. [It looks great... He takes the time to set his uniform on one of the extra chairs at the table so it doesn't get messed up, and then slides his own burger and soda closer.]
Say, Tsumugi. [He speaks up in the middle of everything, quiet but thoughtful.] Do you think you'd ever wear that uniform again?
no subject
I don't think so. [ shakes his head ] It probably wouldn't fit me anymore.
[ Even though he can easily make adjustments to it, but he's not about to acknowledge the elephant in the room right now. ]
no subject
...I also thought that I'd never put that on again, but with limited options here in terms of designers, I wonder if I could wear it again. Some few adjustments are likely all that would be needed.
Fufu, it would be too much to expect Tsumugi to step on stage with me in that outfit again, I know, but thinking about it has me a little excited.
no subject
But he never says these things out loud, of course. ]
You're still performing here, Eichi-kun? Because I was actually assigned a job at the theater as a costumer, but I can also perform lives there as well.
Let me think about it. I've only just arrived here after all, and I still don't know what to do from here.
no subject
[If he says it separate like that, will Tsumugi agree to go with him before realizing what it means? Time will tell. He still eats.]
It's too much to ask, so please take your time and consider it. I don't mind at all.
no subject
I will. Though I could always make us some new outfits if we ever do perform again together. There's really no need to wear these old things.
[ He can practically see the blood in all the whites and the blues of the outfit -- stained to the point where no amount of washing can ever get them off. ]
no subject
[Even if he did feel the same.] You see, I've been tossed around left and right, and to receive something like this as some sort of gift right before you arrive... I wonder if someone actually hates me? It doesn't seem that I belong anywhere.
no subject
[ But at Eichi's sudden self-depreciation, Tsumugi suddenly shifts gears. ]
That's not true, Eichi-kun! I mean, of course you'd still get some detractors to this day, but they shouldn't matter now. But... is that the reason you've been whisked away here?
no subject
[Since the reason he was pulled into Eluvio was far different, and he was pulled here from Eluvio for that displacement. Hm.]
In either case, you shouldn't concern yourself with it, Tsumugi. I'll figure out what to do and move from there.
no subject
[ He takes one more look at their old outfits, still expecting them to take form and start speaking their own thoughts on this. ]
Well then, shall we eat? I still have more questions for you if you don't mind me asking once I'm finished.
[ Please Eichi, he's so hungry... ]
no subject
[He can read the atmosphere enough to know that Tsumugi is feeling awkward, or trapped, or some combination of the two. They can eat and Eichi won't interrupt with words this time, just enjoying his food and thinking long and hard about how Tsumugi is showing up now of all times. During this month of friendship... Along with their old Fine uniforms.
It feels like a karmic stab to the back.]
no subject
Why doesn't he learn from his mistake? Is he ready to put his life on the line for Eichi again, like how Eichi's been doing since forever?
It's not apparent on Tsumugi's face though, as he scarfs down his food and drink. Right, he should eat first. Or else he won't last here. ]
So... you were yanked out of your hospital room and landed here?
[ HE WANTS THE DEETS, EICHI ]
no subject
Not exactly... Though that would make sense, wouldn't it? [Feeling displaced and all, haha.] When I first disappeared, I was simply on my way home, thinking about graduation and the plans to come. I didn't land here, really, either...
[Sips at soda..........]
no subject
Oh. It's the same thing with my situation too. I guess we were having graduation jitters? That would really make us think of our futures, and whether we can still belong in the entertainment industry or not.
[ takes a dainty sip of his soda ]
But I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, once you get back home in Yumenosaki.
no subject
He pushes his soda to the side.]
Are you worried about something like that, Tsumugi? It would be a shame to see someone like you leave the industry.
no subject
I do appreciate it, Eichi-kun, but not everyone who's enrolled in the idol course can become real idols themselves. I'm only just considering other options in case it doesn't pan out for me.
But really, don't worry about me. I'll still support you with my own way, as always.
no subject
[That's his very biased opinion, anyway.] Thank you, even so. There's not much else I can do with this life of mine, so I intend to do this to the best of my ability.
no subject
[ And Tsumugi is just a side character. It's fine. ]
Just remember not to overexert yourself, all right? Wouldn't want you to collapse during your rise to otherworldly stardom.
no subject
[The protagonist... Stop saying things like that that aren't true at all. Tsumugi is sweet as always, though, and Eichi considers this for a moment before deciding to respond by teasing him.]
If I collapse, I'll be sure to do so when you're around so that you can catch my fall. ♪ I'm counting on you.
no subject
[ He takes one more sip of the soda before his eyes trail back to their old outfits once more. Sigh. ]
