introductory mingle: carnivale
what: Introductory Log and Carnivale Celebration
when: July 1st - July 9th
where: Anywhere around the city.
warnings: please put any necessary warnings in the subject lines
In the days leading up to July 1st, residents new and old will notice preparations beginning, a flurry of activity getting the city ready for the upcoming celebration: Carnivale. This holiday is in celebration of music, and the onset of summer and warmer weather. The celebrations are marked by street parties, an extensive program of live musical performances, with a large parade (and paid holiday!) capping it off on July 8th.
After a couple of months of low-key or even solemn celebrations, it's time for Riverview Quarantine to throw a good, old-fashioned party. Carnivale is a city-wide festival that pretty much everyone gets into, and many residents take the entire week off so they can enjoy all the festivities. With events ranging from impromptu street parties, free live musical performances, food stands, themed club nights, adult lounges with kink shows, and topped off with a massive party parade, the holiday has a lot to offer for anyone who likes to sing, dance, and show some skin!
i. street parties and food
One of the staples of the Carnivale festival is the spontaneous street parties and food trucks and carts. It's not unusual during the holiday to turn a corner and run into a group of people dressed in bright colors and sequins having an impromptu party with a few drinks, and then be invited to join right in! Carnivale is a celebration of music as well as summer, so most shops and stalls will be blasting danceable music into the streets to facilitate these little street parties - it's considered a sign of good luck for the owner of a business if an impromptu Carnivale celebration starts up in front of their door.
Considering the proliferation of street parties and people out and about to celebrate the warmer weather, local business owners also take to the streets. Food carts, stands, and trucks pop up on almost every street corner offering a wide variety of food from savory treats to sweet desserts. Many of the carts are offering one free item to anyone dressed up for Carnivale - anything shimmery, shiny, or brightly colored will do!
ii. live musical performances
One of the major roads in the city center has been completely roped off for the entire week, and all along this street, various temporary stages have been set up, each with a nice hefty sound system. Volunteers hand out printed flyers, and digital boards are set up here and there with schedules of various performances that are all free to attend, ranging from well-known popular music artists to new up-and-comers or independent artists who are looking to make a name for themselves. This event is very widely advertised around the city, and is accepting entries until the very last minute.
At couple of the acts might be familiar faces to some of the residents.
Eichi Tenshouin has signed up himself and his friend Tsumugi Aoba into the music festival as a first-time appearing idol unit called "Higanbana." Dressed in all white with splashes of color (blue, largely, with only their headsets being a red spider lily), they carry a very commanding and angelic image together. They'll have a routine that emphasizes their great harmony with each other, taking turns doing solo lines and joining together to show off each of their talents. Singing and dancing, they interact heavily with the audience and will encourage a lot of involvement with speaking between songs and gestures, winks, and so on. Basically, they intend to make this Riverview's very first prominent "idol performance".
For his performance, Otabek Altin will start with rock remixes of a few popular pop songs. He wants to make sure that it starts off with recognizable pieces for some people, and he certainly thinks it is something that could get people excited even if they don't know it. Then, it shifts into a few original songs. They are upbeat, rock songs that he put together with the intention to make people dance and move, since he is a DJ. He'll end his set with a slower piece he put together that is also an original. Through the entire performance, he's focused and quiet, though he may occasionally try and excite the crowd with a few words.
Any other player-characters who are musically inclined are more than welcome to assume their character was fit in for a performance, and can post up a top-level with a rundown of their performance to get bonus Activity Points for posting a mingle!
iii. carnivale parade
The other main attraction of Carnivale week comes on July 8th, which is a paid holiday for everyone in the city. The Carnivale Parade will be starting out by City Hall and winding through downtown in a lazy pattern so everyone in the city has a chance to see it. There will be all sorts of floats, dancers, marching bands, with all sorts of clubs, businesses, and other organizations represented. The theme is theatrical, big and showy, bright and colorful, sparkly and shiny, with loud music and lots of glitz and glamour. Observers can expect great music, excellent dancing and marching shows, neat vehicles provided by classic car clubs, the fire, police, and Perimeter Guard. They can also expect a lot of party favors, whether it's a sparkly plastic beaded necklace, a fan to take the edge off the heat, candy, popsicles, a temporary tattoo, or any number of other little treats or toys to be tossed into the crowd - some of them fit for kids and teens, others of a more 'adult' nature handed out a bit more discreetly to anyone who looks the part.
And make sure you wear your waterproof mascara - Carnivale floats have a tendency of spraying or spritzing water, both in an unspoken competition to see who can make the biggest water-refraction rainbow in the air, and to keep observers cool in the new summer heat.
iv. adult: lounges and kink exhibition
Thanks to the Carnivale tradition of showing as much skin as possible, some event organizers' minds have turned to topics of a more adult nature. In the evenings, residents may see clubs doing "lounge nights"; these adults-only events have bouncers IDing everyone at the door to ensure they're 18+. The themes may vary, from very specific niche themes like 'golden age superheroes' to broad themes like 'rainbows,' and each event is clearly marked as what it is - all-nude or clothing-optional, and can host events ranging from amateur to professional exotic dancing, food served off of nude bodies, anonymous masked hookups, or just provide a comfortable space where casual sex is encouraged with whoever happens to be around. Various legal substances can be found at these lounges, but nothing that would cause violation of consent, and every substance would be clearly labeled and have warnings to ensure that no one partakes unless they choose to. Please be sure to warn in the subject line for sexual content or drug use (since some mild party drugs are legal in Riverview).
For the weekend from July 7th-9th, there will be a kink exhibition in one of the large exhibition centers downtown, limited to characters 18+. The exhibition is a sexy adult informational convention featuring various kinks and fetishes. Whether you're into leather, latex, lace, or anything else, you'll be able to find the clothes, toys, guides, books, erotica, fiction, and a wide variety of other interesting stuff to explore. While the atmosphere is sex-positive and there are private and public (for the voyeurs and exhibitionists in the room) venues for having sex, it's definitely focused on exploration and information about different stuff to try.
v. roommates or wildcard
Feel free to use this prompt to meet new roommates, for the purpose of getting to know each other, or hit up one of the mod-posted prompts for each Communal Floor. Or if you have an idea for a prompt that isn't in this list, set during Carnivale, feel free to write it up!

i. cw: drug references
"Are you going to eat all that?" Her smile widened a small amount as she took note at the sheer quantity of food on his plate. It looked good but it looked like a lot.
Kate didn't have a job yet and she knew she'd have to find one. There wasn't very much that she could put on her resume here but she hoped she'd eventually find someone willing to hire her. She could wait tables. She had been learning to be a thief but that didn't seem like a good job without partners.
no subject
He gestures with her to the plate. "Maybe not... y'want some?" Because at the end of the day he was a pack animal and those were known for their ways when it came to sharing food. Besides, his eyes were probably a little big for his belly to begin with.
no subject
"It's good." She hadn't had that much of the food here yet. "Are you going to try a bit of everything?" It sounded like a hefty goal.
no subject
"Sounds like the kinda thing I'd do, yeah... I'm all about tryin' new things... its parta the whole experience, ain't it?" Being a new city, that is.
no subject
She nodded her head and continued to nibble on the skewer that she had taken from his plate. "What's your favorite food so far?"
no subject
"There's this thing that's kinda like steak strips but its like... so freakin' moist and spicy? I mean damn... wait." He shuffles things around on the plate before producing a fork from his back pocket, its clean because he hadn't bothered to use it. "Here, eat this!"
no subject
It looked clean enough.
She took a bite, holding her fingers in front of her mouth as the flavor hit her. "Oh that tastes amazing." She hadn't realized how many different types of food there were here.
no subject
He nods encouragingly when she enthuses about the food. "Right? For a city with all kinds of problems an' shit they sure know how to cook."
no subject
"Every city has it’s problems." Some were just easier to see than others. "But they also have their good points too. Food and the people there." She smiled at Drew. It wasn’t good to only focus on the bad things but in the same light it wasn’t good to pretend that they weren’t there.
Kate didn’t realize it yet but she needed those good things and the faith that things could get better. "Do you have a job here yet? I'm only asking because I'm looking for something but I'm not sure what."
no subject
"Yeah they gave me a job when I got here, they didn't hook you up with somethin'?" He frowns slightly, scratching at the stubble on his chin. "Maybe they just thought this guy's been bartender for most his life an' figured it'd be easy to stick me straight behind the bar again. Ain't like I got a shit tonne of skills."
no subject
"A bartender? Is that hard?" Maybe she could learn how to do something like that? She's been in a lot of bars recently and she can't say she hates it. It's a good place to collect information.
no subject
"Tendin' a bar? Hard? Ain't exactly difficult... but its an easy job to do if oyu're okay with drunk folks and doin' a whole lotta talkin' and listenin' an' dealin' with a lotta different assholes." Because that was the only real hard part of the job, dealing with a bunch of ridiculous people when they were drunk.
no subject
"I've always been good at listening and talking." Her smile slowly regained some of it's strength. "Might be something worth looking into."
no subject
Because typically, Drew was already trying to help someone in a way that he didn't really have much of a sway in. He hadn't even met the owner yet and he was trying to get the guy more employees.
no subject
"Thanks though." She appreciated the thought.
