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
I would give you something in exchange for your stories. What would please you?
no subject
And could I ask for a story in return? It doesn't have to be your story if you don't want it to be.
no subject
no subject
(It's the only landmark she's familiar with at this stage.)
no subject
[ Angela cuts a striking figure as she waits by the fountain, realizing too late that she does not know what "chronicler" looks like, or even their name. ]
no subject
Angela stands out much more than she had expected.)
Hi, (she calls as she approaches,) sorry– are you Angela? My name is Lucretia, I was just messaging you. My handle is 'chronicler'.
no subject
Yes, I am Angela. Thank you for meeting me.
no subject
Likewise. It's good to meet you properly, Angela. (She smiles, weakly.) You know, I was worried I might not find you, but... (well. She sticks out well enough huh.)
no subject
I have been told it is impossible to lose me in a crowd.
[ Between the height, the armor, the bright red hair, and the ribbons constantly floating around her neck. ]
Shall we find somewhere to sit and talk? A café, perhaps? We could get something to eat or drink.
no subject
(Lucretia hides a little smile behind one hand.)
Yes, a café sounds lovely. I know of one close by, unless you have something particular in mind?
no subject
no subject
Once they've settled and ordered their drinks, Lucretia props her elbows on the table, steepling her fingers thoughtfully.)
Who goes first? I suppose it should be me, huh.
no subject
If you prefer. I don't mind being the one to start.
no subject
Oh, if you're ready then, please. Go for it.
no subject
Recently, I found myself kidnapped and incarcerated on the Badoon prison planet Xalda-Volta. The Brotherhood of the Badoon are a race of conquerers who enslave civilians and wage war across the galaxy. They kidnapped me because they needed more power to fill the void left by the retreating Kree and Skrull Empires. Xalda-Volta was home to thousands of captured slaves, who were forced to mine the planet for materials to support the Badoon.
I was rescued by my friends, the Guardians of the Galaxy, though one among them was taken back to the Badoon homeworld, Moord, to face the Monsters of the Badoon in gladiatorial combat. Along with the remaining Guardians, I staged a daring rescue. We attempted to reason with the leaders of the Badoon, but when diplomacy took too long, I beheaded their leader and ended it.
[ That last part is said as the waitress comes over with their drinks, a stunned look on her face. Angela, seemingly not noticing her misstep in speaking so casually of beheading, accepts her fruity drink and takes a sip. ]
no subject
And Angela's story is easily fascinating to her. Though, at the end of it she has a similar, startled expression on her face as poor waitress behind them.
Lucretia accepts her mug and brings it to her mouth, pausing with the rim at her lips.)
I... I see. Um, what then?
no subject
[ She hadn't exactly been paying attention to the call, being too busy cleaning Badoon blood from her sword. ]
It was when we were on our way that I was taken by the Portal and found myself here.
no subject
So you weren't in any kind of peril at all when you were taken? (Interesting. She had assumed everybody had got there more or less the same way she had.)
no subject
no subject
But I'm used to dying, so I wasn't immediately concerned either.
no subject
Will you tell me? In exchange for my story.
no subject
(Lucretia thinks for a moment before she starts, taking a moment to recollect.)
The plane we were on was called Perthlochry. It was– purple, and blue and green. Great big hills split in half up the sides, and if you stood near the rifts and looked down into them it was dark like the night sky on the inside, dotted with stars. It was... beautiful. (She sounds a little dreamy.) There was a little village on the first outcrop we came across. They lived near this acid green river– perfectly safe to drink from, of course. The locals found our aversion to the water funny. I paid a woman a gold coin to help me bottle samples of it.
Um, I take a lot of notes. (She interrupts herself by finally pulling her journal out and showing it to Angela: it's thick, tightly bound to keep it from splitting open.) It's my job to keep records of wherever we go, in case the plane is lost. I was walking up past the outcrop to try and find more samples of the local flora, and I crossed a swing-bridge that snapped in half on my way across.
(She still remembers it, too clearly: the panic, the way she had clutched the ropes. She hadn't had time to throw her book out of the way before she had plummeted into the bright abyss. Lucretia shudders, but shrugs.) And I died. And then I was here.
no subject
More things to remind her of Sera. ]
But that was not the first time you had died?
no subject
I've died five times. The ship that I'm travelling on has tethered my companions and I to it: if we die, we simply wake up on the ship again in the new year as if nothing had happened to us in the first place.
