The Crowning of Tony Stark

Who| Everyone.
What| The Crowning of Tony Stark.
Where| The New Capitol Stark Expo!
When| Friday, late afternoon into the evening.
Notes| This event is mandatory for all Tributes to attend. Even if you do not tag in, your character will attend this party.  Peacekeepers will be on high alert, so no funny business.
WARNINGS| Alcoholism / References to Alcoholism.  

The Capitol might be known for its extravagance, but Stark Expos have never skimped on a show. Combining the two together could only be a recipe for the most wild indulgences. The center theater takes styling after a arc reactor, with glass ceiling and glowing blue lights set right within the metal and putting a glow to the sky. Lightshows go off on the main stage, the stark logo overhead and a massive screen displaying the Panem flag and Tony Stark's image just behind the dancing Ironettes. A circle plattform going off from the stage, clearly reserved for the guest of honor, features a design Panem's bird in red, gold, and glowing blue.

A globe is featured in the outside gardens, showing off a map of Panem, and the park is filled with artistic statues of destroyed Iron Man amror. But there's no quiet here, not with the fireworks going off all night and the consistent playing of music that is not but sounds an awful lot like that of Daft Punk, Eifel 65, ACDC, and one other song that breaks them up.

Various shows can be found about the gardens, including display models of some of Tony Stark's old weapons and Iron Man suits. Further along guests may find the Avengers display, featuring large portraits of the Avengers and their allies, large red x's going over greyed out portraits of those deemed dead, including Phill Coulson, Natasha Romanoff, and Thor. Along with these portraits can be found the Stark family tree, featuring the Victor Tony Stark and all his relations including apparent son Dave Strider, and Arya Stark, Ancestor of the Stark family, not to mention the great Howard Stark who's accomplishments (and tragic lack of care for Anthony) are lovingly illustrated. One such accomplishment being a "flying car" just a short walk over.

There's plenty for guests to do besides just ogle the brilliant sights however! A bar has been set up with a whole variety of drinking games available from Sink The Battleship and Drink Roulette to an extravagent variation of the classic game, Beer Pong, and an ongoing run of the Games with rules of drinking for each emotional scene, funny incident, or death. Those under the age of eighteen will be served fizzing juice or soda instead and can participate in junior versions of the very same games. All the cups are made from the finest glass with Tony Stark images over them. Avoxes are on scene to clean every spill and break of glass that might come.

A cave has been crafted of artificial and real material, designed to look like the Cave in which Tony Stark became a real hero, but with a twist; it's been made into a fun-for-all maze! Guests can attempt to navigate their way to the labyrinth and reach the core, avoiding those nasty pop-out rebels along the way. Those who make it to the fire-lit center may receive a limited edition "Tony Stark Heart" miniature arc reactor in a beautiful glass case.

An indoor sky diving station is also available, large enough that many guests may enter at once and still find it spacious. Here, guests can don Iron Man themed sky-diving suits and experience the sensation of flight, just as Tony Stark once did. Of course, the party doesn't start until the Victor comes in; he'll be appearing by Capitol-controlled suit to make his entrance at center stage. It is here that his Throne shall be raised up through the stage and his crown gifted to him. Following the official Crowning Ceremony will also come a speech from the Capitol's very own, Cyrus Reagan.

Tributes are dressed in formal wear with robotic accents. Such as a full mask or metal armor. Capitolites can be seen with Tony stark styled hair, bearing tattoos in his image, and even with surgically implanted lights, in honor of the new Victor. Available for purchase are handcrafted Tony Stark dolls, Iron Man action figures, and models of beloved robot-pet "Dum-E" in both small and life-sized. The Iron Man light gloves come completely free for all guests.

The Crowning ends off with a bang, as in the center of the sky, a massive "wormhole" opens up showing a vast darkness full of sinister creatures just on the other side, sure to inspire some screams from fans. Guests near to the Iron Man suit displays are asked by peacekeepers to step back-- far back-- but may be the first to witness the incredible scene of all those suits launching into the sky and exploding around and "in" the wormhole. The wormhole shifts to a message stating the show to have been brought to you by the Hunger Game's skilled Sky-Display Designers before going into advertising for the rest of the night as the party dies down.

[Emily's at the side of the room, leaning on a wall with her hands folded across her chest as she listens to the speech. When she sees Tony passing later, she offers a friendly smile.]

Welcome aboard.

[Tony raises an eyebrow as she smiles and welcomes him. He offers her a facial shrug as he puts his hands in his pockets.]

Certainly feeling it. Welcome, that is.

[He glances around at his 'party', he knows it's a shallow mimicry but it's close enough to remind him of home.]

And really, this feels a lot more like a party than the last one, huh?

[He's slipping into his old ways, back before he was Iron Man for this party, because it's easier than having to think about what he had to go through to get here.

That and Signless' celebration was a downer in his eyes.]

I'm glad. Because mentoring's a whole different ballgame to being in the Games. If you need any help, you know where to find me.
arrogantalloy: (A: 158 See look I listen)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2015-05-21 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
How does that go, anyway? Everyone just lines up and asks you how you didn't die? Because if that's it, really not going to look forward to this.

There's a little more to it than that. You have to keep close tabs on your Tributes and schmooze potential sponsors, and do everything you can for them in the Arena. But ... yes, you're going to get asked that a lot. And it doesn't get any easier no matter how many years it's been.

[Tony can't help but pull a face that implies he's getting deja vu]

And here I thought I gave up the title of C.E.O to Pepper. [He sighs.] So basically it's exactly like running a business. And here I thought it was going to be hard and new territory.

Well, not hard. But annoying.

Some of it will be. Devising the training regimes for your Tributes and making sure they stick to them, for instance. [She's still finding that difficult after years on the job.]
arrogantalloy: (A: 067 Welp)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2015-06-21 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that sounds. Boring.

[It's not like he hasn't had experience with this kind of thing before. However he is out of practice and finds the idea of making sure others train to not die in the arena's a touch ghoulish.]

I mean I'll try, I guess? Well I'll schmooze. I can do that at least.

[Because if there was something Tony could do. It was schmooze.]
conifer: (006)

[personal profile] conifer 2015-06-23 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Emily offers a small, somewhat sheepish smile in apology.] It's not the best job in the world, no. But at least you're out of the Arena now.
arrogantalloy: (A: 065 Yeah not listening)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2015-06-25 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Being the tourist and not the tiger. [He offers glibly. Realises he's being more than a little dickish then shrugs.]

I'll get used to it. Just. Used to being in the frying pan. [He looks around the place for a moment while scratching his cheek.] So. Won my heart, yet?

[He gestures to the god awful fun maze cafe that's making a joke of his kidnapping, torture and near death. But at this point he hasn't expected anything less from the capitol.]

[She glances over to where she's pointing, shaking her head.] I took a raincheck on that one. Besides, I get the feeling your heart isn't something that should be won so easily.
arrogantalloy: (A: 005 My Heart)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2015-07-15 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He scoffs.] The general buzz back home is I don't have one to win. [Then he pauses.] And when you think about it, scars to prove it.
conifer: (028)

[personal profile] conifer 2015-07-28 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that all depends on what you define a heart to be. It takes a lot of courage to win an Arena, and I'd say that's a big part of heart, myself.
