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!

Prim recognized the shaking - as a healer, she was used to signs of illness... though not exactly to sea sickness. No. Her instant worry was over whether the woman was sick, or maybe suffering some after effect of being brought back to life by the capitol. She instantly yearned for her herbs, and wish she'd thought to try and sneak some medicine onto the boat. That would have to wait until the next party, though.

Sidling up toward Glinda, she tried to offer the woman what little support she could. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked.

It was a child.

Glinda's heart sank into her stomach at the sight of the girl. Surely they weren't making children fight now? "I find myself feeling worserer by the moment." She confessed, going paler as she tried to fathom what kind of government would allow a child to fight to the death for entertainment.

They were always making children fight. But no, the curious little girl here wasn't a tribute.


"I could try to treat you," she offered, stepping closer. "I don't have any medicine on me, but..."

As a leader in government herself the idea was purely repulsive. The whole institution of the Hunger Games was bad enough but when it affected the innocence of children. Her stomach turned.

"What's your name, dear child?" She asked, thinking that focusing on the little girl might distract her more than if she continued focusing on herself.

"Prim," she answered, tryig to give the woma a reassuring smile. Her heart was't entirely in it, though. She was far too worried about Glinda.

"Such a sweet name." She complimented. Another rose, how uncommon. "Are you with you parents?" She sincerely hoped so.

She shook her head, though. "My mom's still in District twelve." She didn't feel a need to mention the dead father.

"I'm Katniss's sister."

Glinda pursed her lips in worry.

"But why isn't she here with you?" She seemed far too young a child to be without her mother.

"They didn't want her," she said. "Just me." Katniss probably missed her.

"Are you quite all right to be without her, Prim?" She asked, slightly concerned for the girl's welfare.

Prim nodded, hurriedly - not wanting to bring down Katniss's attention. "She's here," Prim promised her new acquaintance, not quite meeting the curled fairy's eyes.

"Oh, thank goodliness." She breathed, putting a hand over her heart. "That makes me feel much better."
andproper: (what is it?)

[personal profile] andproper 2013-07-10 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Goodliness?" she asked, confusion painted on her features. She didn't really understand Glinda. Though the woman did seem nice, her method of speaking was bizarre.
