What| A spectacular Viewing Party and opportunity for tributes to get sponsorship
Where| The Victoria Ascendant, on the lake
When| After the most recent death roll!
Warnings/Notes| Probable skeeviness of the Nice Guy variety.
Welcome to the Victoria Ascendant, latest in the Ascendant line of luxury yachts as built by the Nadir company. Tonight, the Victoria Ascendant is the stage set for a spectacular party, also paid for by the company and specifically designed and organised by a team of event specialists overseen by your host for this evening, Timaeus Nadir- wealthy eligible bachelor, melodramatic heir apparent to the company chair, frequent sponsor of the Games. The Victoria Ascendant is fully equipped with every obscenely luxurious item imaginable, and practically drips opulence.
When first welcomed aboard you will be assured that your every need will be seen to, your every desire catered for. Staff are on hand to answer any questions you might have or guide you to various areas of the ship, provide you with food, drink, or suggestions of how best to take advantage of the Victoria Ascendant's many amenities- they are here as hosts, but also as salespeople for those of the guests with money to burn- this party is serving more than one purpose. Tributes who responded to their invite will also receive a delicate, hand-written note in a golden envelope as they board- the content of which will be posted as a reply to their response to this post.(I'll do this once your character turns up.)
Although the Victoria Ascendant has a magnificent dining room for formal, sit-down occasions, the food for the party will be circulating the various lounge areas and decks. There is also a buffet table, for those of you who prefer to help yourselves, and a fully stocked bar. Provided are a baffling variety of foods and beverages, seemingly unconnected- but each tribute will find that if at any point during their stay in the Capitol they have requested a particular food or drink item, it is available here. Or, at least, the closest approximation the catering staff could conjure up. Seating is provided in intimate groupings around tables for the most part, though there are large, sprawling couches against the walls. Central to the dining area is a magnificent aquarium filled with brightly coloured fish. Anyone looking closely enough will recognise them- varieties of piranha- but don't worry, they've been more than adequately fed and the glass is thick.
While there are various screens displaying the Games throughout the ship, Viewing is also taking place on an enormous screen, set up in a seperate lounge area with full floor-to-ceiling windows all along one side. Here, staff wait to take bets or help organise the giving of sponsor gifts. Large, comfortable couches line the room, and the central table overflows with a spectacular arrangement of edible flowers and fruit.
Later in the evening, you will be told that the firework display is about to begin, and invited to go up onto the main deck to watch. The fireworks themselves will be launched from smaller boats across the lake, and the display is set to be truly spectacular. It will be set to some music that Tributes may find familiar- various melodies pulled from the most recent Arena. The large swimming pool on the deck is open, but it is too early in the year to be comfortable to use. Instead, it is being used as an unusual centrepiece for the evening. Floating in the illuminated water is a gigantic iceberg, sculpted into a stylised model of the current arena and populated with frozen figures. Eagle-eyed Tributes may be able to spot themselves depicted in ice- more often than not, the moment of their deaths are the pose of choice, if a little tweaked for the sake of a more dramatic scene.
Enjoy!

Thankfully he wasn't flying solo on this one in terms of clothing meant to impress - his Stylists got the hint from Eva and actually dressed him in something. Dark brown trousers made of wheat strands. Dark boots, and a necklace wreath of grains. They actually paid attention to him. Huh.
Now he was walking around, and--well. There's a little one-armed dead turtle in Fantasyland next to another dead Tribute in that sculpted ice.
That's not at all creepy.

Beck didn't want to say weird, because who was he to talk? He was a former Program who couldn't even tell which guts were his guts and what they were there for. But this guy...certainly didn't look like a User, either. Because he doubted most Users were that big. And green. And had some sort of shell on his back.
He frowns a little when he sees the face the unidentified Tribute makes, and sighs. So he wasn't the only one who thought that the sculpture was a little...uncalled for? The Games back home were bad, but these Games...?
Beck slowly walks beside the Tribute, sipping lightly on his drink. "It's sick, isn't it?"

Then he felt someone next to him, speaking. It snapped him back to his surroundings, somewhat.
"Hm?"
no subject
He couldn't wrap his head around it. It's hard to imagine people in Argon doing this, even though the concept of those Games and these Games were pretty much the same. They wouldn't create some kind of sculpture showing a Program getting brutally derezzed, would they?
"It's like they're bragging about how us de- dying is a piece of artwork. I don't get it."

Well, maybe with him as the Renegade, but other than that.
"That's crazy..." He muttered, before shaking his head and attempting to change the subject. Somewhat. "My name's Beck, by the way. I just got here.'

She had thought him some kind of monster at first but she was quickly learning that things were very different here so she looked up to him from where she stood in front of the ice sculptures.
