Passionfruit

Passionfruit is an early morning ritual that originated at Carlisle. It is usually held on a Sunday. At the end of the Saturday dance the night before, the Empress and Emperor (and their buddies) will shout the time and place of Passionfruit for the following morning.

Passionfruit involves sitting outside in a circle and toasting with some sort of juice. The empress and emperor of passionfruit lead the ceremonies.

Quite a while ago, the empress and emperor were referred to as the "juice coordinator", who would traditionally purchase a large amount of passionfruit juice for the whole circle. Then people realized the ineffectiveness of this and started to bring their own juice, soda, water, etc. to Passionfruit.

Lancaster

At Lancaster, juice is still purchased for the entire group by the Alcove. People donate money to help purchase the juice, though it is not mandatory.

What happens is that at 6 am on Hartman Green, a circle is formed with many drinks in the middle. The Emperor says his speech, customarily ending with "I love CTY and I love the Passionfruit," takes a drink, and passes it onward to the next nomore/nevermore. Then after all the nomores have gone, everyone else can say their speech with onemores having priority.

It is also here that the position of Jester, the 42 duct tape bathrobe, the caution tape cape, the duct tape suit, and the bottle of Fruitopia are passed on during second session, though there is a first session Jester as well.
