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!

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!

"Hello." Prim moved to stand besides the other woman, looking at the sculptures too. They worried her, but of course she made herself memorize them. It seemed like the least she could do for the dead ones.

Pruna looked to the side to see another girl looking at the sculptures. She hadn't seen her in the arena, but she knew from Signless and Asha that they put more people in after the beginning.

"Hello."

"...I'm Prim." What else was she supposed to say, other than that? I'm sorry you died? She was getting tired of saying that.
knifewithnoname: (excited smiles)

"Hello Prim." The girl wrinkled her nose, there was no way she was going to remember even half these names.

Alright she could if she tried, but most of them weren't worth remembering. "Do you be being a tribute too?"

She paused uncertainly at the woman's speech, wrinkling her own nos unconsciously before responding with a little headshake. "I'm Katniss's sister," she replied.,
knifewithnoname: (much thinking)

Pruna hadn't yet met Katniss, but she had heard of her. "She do be in district twelve too right? Do you be there as well?"

She nodded, eyes momentarily registering saddness. "I don' think they'll let me go back there, though...."
knifewithnoname: (oh really?)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2013-05-05 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
She wrinkled her nose, "Did they be kidnapping you too?" It wouldn't surprise her, they had kidnapped everyone else after all but district twelve was at least in this world so Prim could just escape and go back.

She shook her head. Even if they had, it wouldn't do to say so. "I wanted to be near Katniss..."

True. Though she was a bit worried about how she'd arrived, and what they might have in mind.
knifewithnoname: (oh really?)

"Do that be meaning you will be living in the twelve rooms?" She asked wrinkling her nose again, she wasn't sure where Katniss lived but Peeta lived in the twelve rooms because she had met him and they had won together according to the books in the library.
