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
[He doesn't look too old, at least!] Fufu, but that's exactly it. ♪
no subject
[ He cants his head to that. Fine, fine. ] Right, watching the world burn? Or... where the Matsuno-kun spins, I suppose.
no subject
[He's been gone from home for a while now, he knows. About six months now, it seems. He just smiles at that last line, though. It reminds him of the past...]
no subject
[ He shrugs, leans back and looks for all the world like he doesn't mean by a couple of thousand years. ]
no subject
no subject
What kinds of things have you seen around here so far?
no subject
Well, since I was stuck in space prior to this place, I've seen countless things, so that's a rather open question.
no subject
Right... Guess that might make this easier. If you're nineteen, I'm... well, over two thousand, five hundred years your senior.
no subject
[What the fuck...] I see. That's difficult to believe with your face, but since I've already seen aliens and a flying sword, there's not much that I can deny at this point. Are you not human, Kane-kun? What a long life that is... And yet I've lived my entire life uncertain if my next week, month or year was my last. I'm a little envious.
no subject
Just a weird, long story I don't know the beginning or the end of. If you wanna prove it, I don't mind. Most people turn me down with the chance to attack someone, though.
[ Cain............. ]
I gotta say, you're probably tougher than I am with an uncertainty like that.
no subject
[He doesn't need proof!] I'd have to disagree with that. Living a normal life is one thing, but to live for that long must be exhausting. I'm not sure that I'd prefer it, the longer I think on it.
no subject
It isn't really a thing people should go through. Unfortunately it's not something you get a choice in, either. [ He shrugs. ] So either you drown in it or make something of it.
no subject
no subject
[ He smiles, glad the conversation is still flowing. Thankful. He doesn't mind talking about it but it does tend to derail whatever they were talking about before... usually. ]
Or, then again, maybe you'll bring that here too. You'll probably need an agent before you get that far, unless you're used to setting all that up yourself.
no subject
[He's researching it! He's been busy looking into all sorts of things with entertainment. And after nearly being killed about three times in space, he's decided to go with accepting these strange things. He'd never believed it when Rei, a fellow idol, would insist he was a vampire, but that was in a different world entirely.]
I'm currently looking to find a suitable agent or manager, but I'm used to making my own decisions. I recently took over the entertainment portion of my family's business, as well as previously being Student Council President and determining which idol groups got funding and so on. I'm well acquainted with these things.
no subject
[ There's a twinkle in his eyes because he finds himself imagining how he'd do it, but really, he has very little desire to get involved for real. What was the word? He's exhausted with being actually invested. ]
Bringing idol culture to the Quarantine and figuring out how to propel it yourself. Big dreams. Bigger payoff if you make it.
no subject
[He would be bored, otherwise, and there's no fun in that, is there? Life isn't meaningful if it's dull.]
To be honest, I'm surprised that this "speed friending" worked as well as it did. I was expecting to find people who weren't sure of how to speak up, or wrote things on their list just to be included. It's a pleasant shock.
no subject
[ There's a sort of settled happiness to him when he grins back. ]
Yeah, color me surprised too. Not that I doubt there's some people like that here... but since we're all displaced, I guess it's easier to be honest about wanting actual friends.
no subject
[Which was, again, space, and he kept almost dying, it wasn't fun.]
no subject
no subject
It worries me that I may have actually missed my graduation, but it isn't the first time I've missed school, so I'd rather be here than in the hospital. On top of that, there is a chance that if I ever can return, it will be at the same moment that I'd left... Which would be very ideal.
no subject
What kind of challenges did they give you?
no subject
[Well, he tries not to, anyway.] There was one planet we visited that had two warring species. Our attempts under the captain's orders were to stop the warring and find a way to solve things, but somehow the planet was destroyed. We rescued all that we could of the two species. I became a liaison for one of the species along with two others who are here, and attempted to bring peace...
But after some gruesome murders on board, people began to turn their suspicions towards those aliens. I believe they had nothing to do with it. At one point in the middle of all this, we lost power, and had to stop at another planet before we ran out of oxygen. People were becoming aggressive towards the aliens and each other, and at one point I was worried that I'd be locked away while those aliens were attacked.
One of the passengers even did something suspicious with his eyes to me and I passed out. Shortly after that, I was pulled here.
no subject
That's some pretty bad luck. That last part, anyway. Before that is way more than just a challenge. And that kind of... no-win situation was common?
[ How does one somehow destroy a planet anyway? [
no subject
[It's all very strange, though he's not sure if he'd call it luck. He doesn't like to use the word luck, mostly.]
