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 | ||||
| « |  | » | ||

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
Sadly.
[Really, someone needed to teach this one how to loosen up. He gave the bird a sidelong glance, almost as if he was expecting it to talk some sense into the lad.]
no subject
[Chainsaw opens her mouth as if she may actually make the attempt to reason with Ronan. Instead she just says "Kerah," right in Ronan's ear. He winces before waving her off. If she wants to have a tantrum, she can throw one away from his ear drums.]
Go bug Adam.
[With his pet gone, Ronan looks back at Lucifer. His distaste for him has only grown. He has a dim view of liars. If only he knew.]
Why tell people you're Satan?
no subject
no subject
Being proud of a virtue sounds like it's up the Church's alley, not Satan's. I don't see what you've got to gain from acting like a crazy guy, but I still don't buy it. No horns.
[Ronan uses the index and middle fingers on one hand to point at his own forehead.]
Any way you can prove it, Lucy?
no subject
[Congratulations, Ronan. He actually looked offended.]
no subject
Tricks are the devil's deal. Thought you'd know.
[Ronan tugs on the leather bands around one of his arms, then spins one around his wrist.]
Not falling for it anyway. I've seen the devil. Horns, red-skin, cloven hooves, and some gnarly balls.
no subject
As for any cloven-hooved version... that's just bloody awful. Whatever reality you're from where that's the case is a sad, pathetic version of what I am.
no subject
Vanity. That's one sin down. So you're the free will sort of Satan, here to spread the good word of Hell?
no subject
[Honestly, Ronan. Keep up.]
Not at all. I gave that gig up. Left it. Hell can do as it pleases, as can the souls in it. Not my jam anymore.
no subject
Damn, if you're Satan you sound really fucking bad at your job. Are the lunatics running the asylum?
no subject
[Now Ronan was actually getting on his nerves. It was one thing for people to not believe he was who he was, but it was another for them to potentially believe and still belittle him or get it wrong. Cloven hooves and horns his finely toned ass.]
no subject
If I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell.
[His lip twitches into a smile but only for amoment.]
You should read Virgil. It sounds like you need some inspiration. Get your love for rebellion back. Gear up for the big Apocalypse.
[A beat.]
Or you can stay. Think God's here to mess with?
[Sorry, Lucifer. Ronan's stuck in nigh-insufferable mode, which is his usual one.]
no subject
If you think the literal Devil needs inspiration from humans on what they seem to think I should be like, you're sadly mistaken, boy.
[There was finally a reaction from him, red flaring in his eyes as he exuded that power of his just a little.]
Humans like to think they know what the Almighty is up to, or what prompted anything, but you always, always get it wrong. I questioned and was cast out. I certainly do not want a bloody apocalypse. Just because He doesn't answer anymore and you've all gone and made up your own bloody assumptions doesn't make them true, you ninny.
[Anger still simmering, his eyes went back to their devilish brown, irritation easily read on his face.]
You know nothing of God if you think this is something He'd do. Not even Mum would play at this.
no subject
You're right. I don't know God.
[Which stings, but he's coming to terms with the fact that he'll have to wait until he's dead to get any answers.]
But I didn't come up with all of that. If you've got problems, talk to the Church.
[He still doesn't know what that Mum thing is about. He's not sure he wants to ask.
Wait...
Oh shit, has he been mocking the actual devil all this time? That is so fucking cool.]
no subject
[The fear, flash or not, mollifies him. Slightly. He's still piqued, but he manages to rein in the worst of his annoyance, smoothing down his suit jacket and looking as if he scored a point.]
Doesn't do much. They've got their little idea set in stone and when your own bloody brother eggs them on about the goat thing, there's not much you can do about it. You're welcome to have your little... ideas of what you think Hell or I am like. For all I know, that's exactly what it is in your world. But don't hold it as scripture bloody fact when I'm telling you that's not what I'm about.
no subject
He wonders if this devil is somehow encouraging those thoughts. He doubts it.]
So what? Daddy broke your heart?
[Almost as soon as he finishes speaking, Ronan recoils. The subject of fathers has to be avoided at all costs, especially with a Satan of any kind. The resulting backpedal is immediate.]
Look, I'm Catholic, not a Satanist. I can't take every word you say as Gospel. If you're telling the truth, I'll find out sooner or later.
[He takes a step back.]
I'd say see you in hell but sounds like you've given that up. So see you around or... whatever.
no subject
I should bloody well hope you're not a Satanist. I've no time for worshipers or asskissers. Dad wants the accolades, not I, thank you. As to the truth, I never lie. Point of Pride. Not that anyone ever believes that. Father of lies my finely toned ass.
[Someone sounded disgruntled, but he was also watching Ronan back away as if he was about to sprout another head. Not that he could blame him. He had flared the eyes. That did tend to make one's constitution waver.]
Mm. Maybe. Maybe not.
no subject
God, I had no idea Satan is such a whiner.
[And with that, he finally turns around.
Time to find his bird-- and perhaps a sense of self preservation. God knows he needs it.]
