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: Julie | OTA
Prim knows better than to raise her complaints, though; and least there's lots of tributes showing up. Tributes she can worry over and talk to and make sure are alright.
She's fairly certain this girl is a tribute. She looks pretty concerned about how she's dressed though... maybe a compliment will make her feel better?
"You look nice," she offered.
no subject
She picks at her dress, hoping there's a way to knock the glittery shit off or something. Clip it off. Except it's part of the material, practically a spotlight on her. Emphasizing her breasts and her legs in a way she wasn't sure she appreciated or not.
It wasn't total shit. Just weird.
She looks up after hearing the voice, blinking. Oh. She hadn't expected kids. Not -- god, she better not be another tribute. They wouldn't do that, right? "Uh. Thanks." She bends down a little, instinct with kids, a smile crossing her face. Compliments, huh. She won't turn those down at least. "I haven't been in one of these in -- okay, well, ever."
no subject
At least she's doing better than Julie, dress wise. She's just wearing a simple yellow one she found in her closet.
"You don't have to be worried," she promised. "You like nice in it."
no subject
Maybe that was the point. She'd bet big egos made good entertainment, whether they had the skills to speak behind the personality, or if someone could watch the underdog rip their hearts out.
"You're shining me outta the park," she grins, dropping her dress. Yellow's not packed full of the symbolism Julie would like to avoid, at least. She keeps thinking maybe her Escort thought it would be ironic, considering she'd had most of her blood spill out of her. "I'm Julie. You're not one of the tributes, right?"
So it was to the point. Couldn't lie and say it wasn't strictly on her mind.
Sorry for the delay - a couple papers had me by the throat. :(
Prim didn't have such cruel ulterior motives, though. All her ulterior motives were sweet things, meant to bring joy and comfort.
She isn't sure whether this one has any at all. Which is nice. Prim likes it when she doesn't have to have them, either. That doesn't work so well in the capitol, though.
"I'm Katniss's sister," she said, by way of response. "She's one of the victors." The victor, more like it, but she's realized not all of the tributes know who they are.
