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 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 considers leaving his suit jacket draped over the chair where it is, but in the end he shrugs it back on over his narrow shoulders, not for need of warmth in the mild weather but for need of respectability. Then he follows after her, taking the door from her to let her on through ahead of him. As they begin the trek down the winding staircase that folds back on itself again and again, he settles into idle conversation with the girl.]
Marinette - that's French, isn't it?
Ugh, heat = bad for tagging D:
no worries! i hope it becomes less gross
I reckon so. America - Mississipi, to be more exact. Lord, I wonder if there are people here from Mars or Neptune or what have you.
Same here!
no subject
I wonder if you'd be able to spot them right away - if you'd be able to tell whether they're from another planet, and which planet it might be that they're from.
no subject
I'd think that they would look different from us, being from another planet ...but maybe not. The people here don't look that different from us - the natives I mean. [ Well, at least she hasn't seen any that looked wildly different. ]
But it's a possibility, I guess. Anything is possible, right?
no subject
[All for the fluttering feeling of displacement, so he was told - a feeling with which he has grown familiar in his year at Harvard, country boy come up from Mississippi that he is or was, as if in the air and soil stirs some quality that is other merely for the difference in latitude. Or maybe he had felt that displacement before he ever left for Boston.]
I wonder what we're meant to do here.
no subject
Well, that and wait patiently while they try to find ways home for those of us who want to go. They made it pretty clear we're not prisoners or captives here.
no subject
What about you? Do you want to go back? I mean, if you could, would you?
no subject
Of course - there are a lot of people I need to go back to. My mom and dad, and Alya, and A..all my classmates and friends. [ Not to mention her life is in Paris, not here. ]
What about you?
no subject
I don't know. Maybe. No, I don't know.
[What he had back there, all of it splintering and crumbling down around him, and his narrow frame buckling underneath the weight of all that detritus, he had wanted to escape - not just wanted, but needed to escape, because that was all there was left to do about it.]
no subject
Is it really that difficult a decision to make? It.. must not be an ideal home situation, huh?
no subject
No, you're right. I reckon it would be best if I go back too.
[This must be his answer because even if he wanted to tell the truth, he would not know where to begin in finding the proper words.]
no subject
[ She has a vague feeling she may have touched upon a sore subject, maybe. She manages to just barely keep herself from asking about it, and decides to change the subject as they reach the final flight of stairs. She actually hops down the last two steps, before glancing around. ]
Okay so ..where's the landlord's office... [ Or room or ...whatever. ]
time to make stuff up
[A bit of poking around down the hallway yields what would appear to be an office, the desk visible through the window panes that stretch from floor to ceiling and a receptionist perched on the chair behind it. Outside the door, Quentin pauses to look at Marinette.]
Here, I'll take care of this. Should be but a moment.
Ohboy ohboy n.n
shh this is how he always looked
[He leads the way into the office, where they are promptly welcomed by the chipper receptionist with her unflagging smile and her eyes that assure you, yes she is listening, and yes she is calculating how best to assist. Quentin asks his questions, punctuating every other sentence with ma'am, as sincere as it is habitual. The matter is settled within a few clicks and taps, the technology incomprehensible to him but apparently the final authority. He thanks her for her trouble, ma'am, and then out into the hall they go once more.]
It seems I'm the one who was mistaken. Sorry for making you come all this way for nothing.
[His brow and his mouth are set in such a way that it is plain that the matter remains unresolved to him.]
IMPOSTER! KYAAAAAAAA
It's all right. I'm glad we got it sorted out - I was a little worried I had misunderstood where they said for me to go in the first place.
what a plot twist (and sorry for the delay!)
It just didn't seem right to me, that a young lady such as yourself should be sharing a room with men. Maybe there isn't anything that can be done about that, though.
GASP! (no worries :D)
Well, it's not an ideal living situation, but it's not like I'm in a room full of creepy perverts. [ No, she's just like. The ONLY girl in the room. ]
no subject
I sure hope not. You let me know, all right? If anyone so much as looks at you in an improper way, you let me know and I'll straighten them right out.
[Because he's so intimidating and all...]
no subject
Really, it's fine. I can take care of myself. And Yuuto and Terra seem like perfect gentlemen, so there's nothing to worry about.
the end?
[He insists again, and they begin to ascend the ten flights of stairs back to their new room.]
