river festival


In the days leading up to August 1st, residents new and old will notice preparations beginning, a flurry of activity getting the city ready for the upcoming celebration: The River Festival. This holiday is in celebration of the river and the life that it gives to the city, as well as the heat of summer and forming bonds with friends, family, and romantic partners. The celebrations are marked by a community-wide cleanup of the docks and beaches along the river - particularly important considering the recent acid rain - as well as beachfront cookouts and parties (both private and city sponsored) and beach sports tournaments happening on either open stretches of beach or in special clothing-optional beaches, all capped off with fireworks displays on the evenings of August 7th and 14th.

a celebration of the river and togetherness


Following the hedonism of Carnivale, it's time for something a little more low-key and relaxing. The River Festival happens every year in August, and is geared toward community building through cleaning up the beaches and docks along the river and then using all that freshly cleaned beach to gather on. During the first week of August, there are various lightly-themed government-sponsored beach cookouts and parties geared toward family, romantic dates, or casual all-ages get-togethers for meeting new friends; there are also a few more racy parties at clothing-optional beaches around the city. Many private residents also take this time to gather together friends and family, and have cookouts on the beach with all the typical trappings of the beach barbecue. There are also various casual sports tournaments sponsored by community centers, gyms, and sports teams in the city, featuring prizes ranging from notoriety to sports equipment to big bucks. Finally, there are two fireworks displays, one on August 7th and one on August 14th, with free food, and various live performers beforehand.


i. cleaning up


The holiday starts off on a note that is just a bit more sombre than the rest of the season, with the cleanup efforts following late July's strange fog and acid rain blending into the usual tradition of cleaning up beaches and docks along the river. The cleanup is a group effort, with every citizen who is physically able pitching in to comb the beaches, where they pick up fallen tree limbs, garbage, and anything else that's accumulated during the winter and spring, and then raking the beaches to make them clean and ready to use. The cleanup of the docks is similar, with residents sweeping and hosing them down where necessary. This year, there are a lot of repairs to be made to beachfront structures that might've been damaged by the acid rain, so if anyone has some carpentry or building skills, those would definitely come in handy.

This is meant to be a community building effort, so many businesses in the area, more well-to-do private citizens, and the government have pitched in funding to provide lunches, cold drinks, coffee or tea, and snacks to anyone who's helping out with the cleanup efforts. All in all, the cleanup has a very friendly, welcoming vibe.


ii. cookouts and parties


The main traditions of the River Festival involve cookouts and beach parties. On August 7th and August 14th, the government as well as various corporations and businesses in the city, will be providing funds for large beach gatherings. On these days, there will be booths set up offering wares and freebies from various businesses around the city that have helped fund the party, large swaths of cleared beach where residents can don a swimsuit and catch some rays or swim in the river, massive barbecue setups to provide partygoers with all the standard barbecue fare, beach sports tournaments, dancing and musical performances, and fireworks displays (see prompts below).

The holiday isn't just about these big parties, though - many residents arrange their own barbecues, cookouts, beach camping trips, beach bonfires, and other riverside gatherings and outings. Many riverfront businesses offer discounts on services such as canoe or kayak rentals to go out paddling on the river, jetski or motorboat rentals for tubing, wakeboarding, or waterskiing, or mounts to take romantic rides in the surf. Additionally, there is an adults-only section of the beach where any of these activities can be done in the nude in a clothing-optional setting, including the big city-sponsored parties.


iii. sportsball tournaments


Is your character good at playing a particular sport that could, conceivably, be played on a beach? Chances are that during the month of August, a tournament will be set up for them to participate in. The tournaments are pretty standard, generally sponsored by community centers, sports clubs and teams, gyms, and other organizations and businesses in the city, with various levels of specialization, and levels of skill or competitiveness. The prizes also vary, with everything from plain old bragging rights to sports equipment or passes to gyms and community centers, to large lump sums of cash money. Definitely worth it, for characters with a love for sport.

Oh, and a lot of these tournaments are happening on the adults-only clothing-optional beaches, for those grown-up sports fans who like a bit of an extra challenge.


iv. performances and fireworks


On August 7th and August 14th at the end of the large city-sponsored beach parties, there will be evening performances all along the beach. Not as extensive as the musical performances during Carnivale, there are two large-name performers per night, with various lesser-known groups performing at random off and on throughout the day and night. Areas of the beach are cleared for residents to watch and dance to the music, both on the regular and adults-only clothing-optional beaches (acts will switch off between the two areas so both areas get both performances).

Player-characters who are musical artists, DJs, or otherwise perform are free to set up shop around this party and panhandle or put on free performances for publicity.

After the sun goes down, boats will head out into the water carrying a variety of fireworks, and there will be a beautiful display of exploding color in the sky for residents to watch and enjoy. The fireworks are highly advanced, incorporating old-fashioned gunpowder as well as modern technology that result in really beautiful displays that can take the breath away!


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 the River Festival, feel free to write it up!

Laura Howlett | August 14th | OTA

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-13 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
OPTION A. BEACH.

[Arriving in Riverview has been quite an event for Laura, but ever since she'd left the compound she'd grown up in, everything feels like an event. Hit the ground running, metaphorically or literally. Her case worker Linda is not a bad person, she's decided, just a little too clumsy and ill prepared for her job — ultimately, she's not what Laura wants to deal with. So as they move along the beach, Laura makes a quick dart to the left and loses her.

Bless Linda's heart.

Laura walks along the ocean, eyes wide as she approaches the waves with some awe. She wanders close, not quite touching the edge of the foamy wave as it rolls in. The sand reacts strangely — it's dark and feels so different, and she can't help but step hard and watch it grow from liquid to solid all over again. She's not remotely dressed for the beach in her jean jacket, but she's got some killer sunglasses on. They have cupcakes on them.]


OPTION B. FIREWORKS.

[It doesn't take long, later in the night, when her focus is solely on the fireworks.

¿Qué fue eso? ¿Qué es ese ruido?

And then the thoom-crackle-pop of fireworks follow.

When they start, the sound and energy behind them send her running to the nearest picnic area, away from the dangerous things that seem to pop off like gunfire; the underside of the bench has a few pieces of gum stuck to the underside, but they're coverage enough. The colors are beautiful, there's no doubt, but the sound crackles like thunder in her sensitive mutant ears. Her darks eyes peer out from under the bench, intense and anxious. Look out, if you're planning to sit down. There's a kid under there. Why are those fireworks screaming? Everyone seems to be enjoying them, but they remind her of worse things. Sinister things.

... They are pretty, though.

More vibrant than birthday candles. How do they get the colors in them?

How do they fill up so much of the sky? She mumbles from her safety:]


... Like Vegas...

OPTION C. FOOD.

[Linda the tragic case worker finally does find Laura a little later, the poor dear. She stays by with a more cautious and weary eye as the mutant child gives in to her hunger and looks over the hamburger section on one of the tables. Hamburger... hamburger. She knows them in theory. They're a very American thing, hamburgers. One of the nurses said McDonalds is popular, is in some cities in Mexico, or perhaps they could someday visit a puesto de hamburgesas. A silly little thing that she said to make them more hopeful, maybe. She still hasn't really gotten to try one.

She's no clue how to set one up, either, so she just puts down two buns and starts stacking layers and layers of meat. Layers and layers of cheese. She grabs a ketchup bottle and starts to douse the not-a-burger with it. Someone please save the child, she's practically making a hamburger salad with ketchup dressing. Though, funnily enough, Laura may not notice them too quickly; Linda has helpfully supplied her with ear muffs, so that the popping of fireworks may not be so startling to her just yet.

Doesn't necessarily block out the smell of gunpowder. It's strong to her nose.

Stinky.]

*Eventually Lola will get used to not everyone knowing how to dress for the beach. But this is her first beach season in the Quarantine, and she isn't used to it yet. Or thinking about how many people just arrived and don't have stuff yet. Still, Lola's dressed for the beach. Her hair is a light mint green to go with the outfit as she wanders around. So of course finds a kid, she can tell Laura is a kid because the two are exactly the same height.*

Do you not have a swimsuit? Did you just arrive.

*Lola smiled, she's very friendly and completely unarmed... and soft looking. She's pretty much the least threatening thing unless there's a newborn kitten on the beach.*

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-14 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Laura turns sharply, her stance not someone who knows how to entirely handle sudden attention on her — she's still a bit on edge, her last memories of him adrenaline-fueled and tormenting her atr times (daddy, she thinks sometimes, why couldn't you just-). Laura knows better than to judge someone on what they look like, considering her own fighting prowess, but... the girl really does just look like she's here to enjoy the beach, too. The beach, real, right here in front of her.

Laura looks the girl up and down, a bit confused at what she's wearing, brow furrowing behind her large and oh so stylish glasses.]


A — swimsuit?
threatenwithcuteness: (407-055)

[personal profile] threatenwithcuteness 2017-08-14 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
*See, this was weird. The girl was wearing normal clothes, not like One or some of the others she's met. But she didn't know what a swimsuit was? Maybe she was from somewhere cold, or deserty? Lola didn't know.*

Um, like this? If you're going swimming you want something that won't take on a lot of water weight. Plus at the beach it gets really warm so a lot of clothes are just uncomfortable anyway.

There's styles that are more covering, if that's a concern. I know mine is really skimpy.
shoplifter: (pic#11449449)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-15 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Skimpy? What is 'skimpy'? She cocks her head slightly, looking at the swimsuit again with some confusion. Covering, yes. People genuinely aren't fond of being naked in front of other people; she can understand that, though she's more than familiar with being uncomfortable in front of the Transgien workers. They only see them as weapons there, after all; there's no such thing as modesty.

The nurses helped combat it, though. She glances back at the water.]


... It is not dangerous?

[ Bill is amused by how American the food here seems to be. Cookouts aren't really a thing in England. But she knows how to navigate a hamburger, and so she knows that this little girl is doing it wrong.

Normally, she wouldn't say anything, but she is supposed to be working as a mentor to young girls in the community, so... ]


That's too much ketchup. [ And then, since the girl is wearing earmuffs, Bill gives a wave that's in her line of sight to try to get her attention. ]
shoplifter: (Default)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-14 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
[No, no, we must have all the condiments. Every condiment. Laura's nearly about to squirt an ungodly amount of mustard onto the top as well before she's waved down properly. She blinks in Bill's direction, putting down the bottle and slowly pulling down her earmuffs. She's got an intense stare about her, someone who is scanning every inch of any situation, always studious.

She doesn't say anything; she waits patiently for whatever this adult's trying to say.

Depending on what she says, she'll either surrender some attention or... you know.

Ignore her and turn away rudely.

Either/or. We'll see how it goes.]


tutee: (reassuring)

[personal profile] tutee 2017-08-15 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When the girl pulls her earmuffs off, Bill smiles, aiming for friendly and polite. ]

You're drowning your burger.
shoplifter: All mine but feel free to use what ya need (just me kicking it with my alcoholic dad)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-15 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bill's hair reminds her of Nate; she really liked Nate. She screamed for him when he was attacked, felt that boiling rage. They took and took and took, those Reavers and their experiments. Their man-made mutants, like her.

But that is introspection for later; it's not a night of quiet reflection. Her eyes widen slightly and she looks at the food like the whole scene of her murderous food crime. She imagines the burger bun adrift at sea, followed by the tomatoes and meat patty.]


Drowning? Es sólo comida.

[Thor may not be the best person to advise her in this regard, considering the fact that his concoctions are rarely different. The man likes his protein, but he's learned to garnish it accordingly.

He watches her fondly for a moment, increasingly aware of the fact that she probably doesn't know what she's doing here. Since he has absolutely no manners, he'll poke her ear muffs until she pays attention to him.]


You shouldn't shy away from accompaniments, you know. Some cheese would do a world of good. [He points at a pile of slices.] Onions, too. Jalapenos if you like spice. Tomato, flavoursome. [He points at things as he mentions them, and adds them to his burger as well.]
Edited 2017-08-13 11:37 (UTC)
shoplifter: (Well that sucks.)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-14 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She glares up at him fiercely and snatches his wrist in her hand; her grip is surprisingly strong for a child. Nothing terrible to a god like Thor, but clearly along the same lines as a grown man, if not two — it would be bruising to anyone else. Don't touch my earmuffs, her eyes say.

......

But she seems willing to give him a chance to speak — this guy's got a lot of muscles. He might really know how to knock heads together, she thinks... but she also won't hesitate to punch him if he deserves it; a lot of people do, you know. Bad men. But this one doesn't seem bad yet. Her fingers release him, expression softening into curiosity.

She glances from the pointing hand to the many foods.

Indeed, she seems to be absorbing every single thing he's saying.]


... Jalapeños, sí.

["Si no te gusta la comida picante... no pruebes nunca un jalapeño."

[Sometimes, she does miss Gabriela and her wisdom.]
worldsaway: (Default)

[personal profile] worldsaway 2017-08-15 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[The strength of her grip absolutely earns her a raised brow, though Thor doesn't fight to release himself. She's obviously not a regular human, though that asks more questions than it answers.]

Yes, delicious. [He dips the serving spoon into the bowl and holds jalapenos over her plate in offering.]

Would you like to add some, or are you only interested in consuming the flesh of beasts? Is that how you maintain such a strong grip?
shoplifter: (pic#11324638)

[personal profile] shoplifter 2017-08-15 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks at her palm for a long moment, as if the answer is there. A strong grip? Does she? She's so used to being around only other mutants, she has a hard time really taking it in mind. Though, it was easy to throw a man on his back. If you just do it right, you can get them in a compromising enough position, then you put your claws into their throats. Quick. Quick death, not bloodless, though. She stares for a moment longer with hand forming a fist, and then looks at him.]

I like all the food.

[Food in Transgien was limited and not particularly fantastic. She holds out her burger for the offered jalapenos. Sure, why not.]

I like... pringles. And green beans.

[ Neither is Arisu dressed in swim wear to enjoy a day at the beach, nor does she have interest in doing so. Not today. She has removed her socks and shoes to at least stand barefoot in the sand and as she used to do back home, keeps her tablet tucked under one arm. This is a strange new world and the thought that it's a reality is still sinking in.

Somewhere, Arisu's own case worker is keeping twenty feet away, after the girl demanded she needs to stand far off and that being treated like a child was embarassing.

As she's standing near the oceanside, she sees the other girl wandering by. They're about close in age. Never seen that type of sunglass design before. It's nothing that would fit Arisu herself, she doesn't think, but it works on this kid. ]


...ah. Stylish.

[ She pays the girl a compliment aloud as she wanders closer. ]

[Laura glances up at her, confused behind her shades.]

¿Qué dijiste?

[She heard, in theory, but she's never really faced the concept before. Sure, there are things she's wanted, things that appealed to her before. She loves her horned horse shirt, no matter how beat up it is. But 'stylish'. What is a stylish?]
infact: (✧ 05)

[personal profile] infact 2017-08-16 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... um...

[ Was that Spanish? Arisu doesn't know a lick of it. The only language she knows is Japanese and some English words.

From the questioning tone, she assumes the girl either didn't hear her or she had confused her. She can't blame her, especially since she just blurted a single word out loud. She was unclear. "Stylish" could be referring to anything. ]


...Your glasses. They're stylish and they suit you well. It's... [ A pause. Cute? Somehow, that doesn't seem right. ] It's a cool look.

[ Stephen doesn't even notice her, at first. He, like most, are too busy looking at the display above. It's only her movement in darting under one of the benches that has him doing a double-take and eventually spotting her. He tilts his head slightly to get a look at her before walking over. He leans against the edge of the table, still looking up at the sky before he says to her, ]

[ linda ♥

jyn sees the little girl dart away, sees her wander along the sand and meet various people, but jyn doesn't move toward her until she notices that laura is drifting toward the adults-only area of the beach. no one had stopped jyn because adult but she decides to cut the girl off before she gets close enough to notice all the nudity. ]


Hey.

[ she offers a pear like fruit, her second as evidenced by the other in her hand with a bit already taken out of it, gesturing toward the water with her chin. ] Do you think you'll go in?

[Linda tries so hard. Bless her.

Laura glances over at the ocean with some skepticism. Or perhaps grim uncertainty. She can't particularly swim, so the idea of leaping into something that could kill her isn't really something she's entertaining. She steps closer, but looks at the pear with a bit of suspicion. Stranger danger, and all that. Cuidado con los extraños, Gabriela told her. She has never forgotten the nurse's kindness or cautionary tales.

She shakes her head, though.]


Dangerous. Too big.

[ when jyn sees the suspicious expression on the little girl's face, she draws the pear back, takes a bit out of it, and extends it to her again. it's not poisoned. ]

It's sweet.

[ she doesn't watch to see if the girl takes the pear, however, glancing out to the water and dipping her head in a little nod. ] It is big, [ she agrees conversationally. ] And dangerous. But you can learn how to avoid the dangers.

[ He isn't with anyone, but Yuuto decides he'll stay out a little longer into the night if it means being able to see the fireworks show. In his ongoing quest to eat as much of the food available in light of the festivities as possible, he plops down onto a bench to work on a sundae he's grabbed from a nearby food vendor; his leg nearly brushes up against the person hiding underneath, but he doesn't notice there's anyone down there until he hears a childlike voice muttering.

Briefly, he freezes in place before bending over just enough to see who's hiding. When Yuuto spots it's a young girl, the only shift in his expression is the subtle raising of his eyebrows. ]


... That doesn't look very comfortable.

[She glances at him with an intense pair of owlish eyes. The kind that say 'Yes??? Can I fucking help you???'; but then another burst of loud color fills the air and she retreats a bit further into the shadows, nose twitching. Her fingers curl, prepared, on the lip of the wooden bench.

It's pretty.

But it also doesn't feel safe yet.]

[ Her stare is met with his usual deadpan look, albeit a touched puzzled, as if he barely notices her affronted disposition. Her silence answers none of his questions, until she flinches at another loud boom reverberating through the air; from there, it was easy enough to put some of the pieces together.

Yuuto glances up at the splash of blue and green that fizzles out through the night sky, illuminating the area for only seconds, then back down towards the hiding girl. ]


Is the noise bothering you?
