The Capitol had been winding up to this for weeks. More and more extravagant decorations had begun to appear all over the city. Gruesome alleys dripping with gore, houses transformed into creaking, ancient cobweb covered dwellings, flickering ghosts haunting windows and doorways. The citizens themselves had becomes more and more extravagant as the days crept closer, dripping in glitters spiderwebs, hair teased to coil around pumpkins and crows, and decked out in meticulous costumes, often celebrating past victors, and even current tributes.

The ball at the Tribute Training Center wasn't anywhere near the only party that night, but it was the most extravagant, and the most sought after. The decorations had gone towards the classic (perhaps the goverment realizing other areas might move too close to home.) The building had been transformed into a spooky, ancient looking mansion, over taken by spiders and lit with flickering candles everywhere. The tables were spread with unimaginable heaping of treats, from grotesqueness mock organs to sparkling jewel colored sugar covered candies. Avoxs move about, for once literally ghosts, covered in their own shrouds of spider webs and sheer gauze, holding plates of smoking drinks.

Attendance for the Tributes was mandatory. As were costumes. And oh boy did their stylists go all out for this one. It was a parade and a party all rolled into ones and they weren't going to slack on that.

"I'll trade you," Shepard teases him as soon as she gets close enough to speak with him, though there is quite a bit of honesty in her voice as she smiles and gestures to his costume.

Quite honestly, she would trade him in an instant, but she doesn't think Donatello would be any more interested in her frilly pink Little Bo Peep costume than she is. Her stylist thought it would be cute to play off her name. Shepard. And this... this was the embarrassingly lacy result. Ribboned shepherd hook, stuffed sheep and all.

"Well..." Donatello smiled. "If it makes you feel better, at least the stylists kind of...know what to do with you? Even if its not entirely to your tastes?"
