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!

Re: Timaeus, your host and sponsor | OTA
Harley's unmistakable voice rang out as she slid over to greet him in a slinky red dress with three large black diamonds on the skirt. She wore a black domino mask and matching lipstick, and her golden blond hair was in twin pigtails as she preferred, but with drill like curls at the tips.
"Pretty swanky digs you've got here Timmy!" She greeted him. "Thanks for the invite!"

"And is the Host with the most getting all he wanted and more out of this meet and greet?" She gestured around them.

He waved over one of the staff, plucking an elaborately layered cocktail off the tray for himself and indicating for her to take anything of her choice.

"Tickles my nose." She commented digging around in her handbag. "Speaking of art." Which they weren't, "Did you make this yourself?" She produced the picture of her sitting on a pile of skulls and watched him curiously.

"Oh, no. I commissioned paintings for the tributes- I gave the instructions, and oversaw the creation process. Do you like it?"

"It's funny." She held out her glass rattling the ice till an attendant refreshed it. "I came all this way, and somehow a handful of people from my world show up right? But none of them are like...my friends from home. Just like they threw darts. I mean Bruce Wayne?! Come on, that playboy isn't a contender like Diana."
no subject
"Yes, I had wondered about that. Some of the tributes seem to come in pairs or groups, but not all. It makes for interesting viewing, naturally, but it is a little strange."

"Ya never know whatcha got till it's gone."

It just sounded so...dull!
"Soooo what does Nadir do?" she pushed eager to find something to stick on rather then just labeling this guy a run of the mill white collar guy with more money then sense.
