The Crowning of Albert Wesker

Who| Everyone in the Capitol.
What| The Crowning Ceremony
Where| The Victor's Complex
When| Day of the Crowning
Warnings/Notes| None yet.

The theme of the ceremony is clearly black and red. A crimson carpet stretches out across the room. The long table for feasting seems to be made of a single slab of dark obsidian, something that couldn't possibly be found in this size naturally. The chairs are wrought iron with red cushions, and embers burn under personal barbecues at each seat. Red wine, red juice, slabs of red meat to be cooked (or eaten raw) - the details are all perfected. Even some of the Avoxes have received black tattoos for the occasion, the number '11' permanently marking under their eyes like grotesque twin tears.

For a crowning, the ceremony is rather intimate. Only a handful of guests have been invited: the usual Capitol VIPs, the Mentors of each District, and a few of the stars of the last few Games. Karis Needleteeth, Aunamee, Dr. Alastor Grey, Alpha, Lindsey McDonald and Hyperion Crius each have a seat at the table. A few Peacekeepers sit off to the side, sipping wine. A few of the Mentors are conspicuously missing.

And Wesker's throne sits at the head of the table; it's made of the head of the dragon that destroyed so much of Disneyland and slaughtered so many Tributes. The head has been dried, the tongue replaced with a plush velvet seat and back the color of blood. The eyes have been replaced with glass that stares at each side of the room. The fangs, however, remain intact.

Downstairs, the rest of the Tributes and their Escorts and Stylists can partake in a more Disney-themed affair. Everything is still sleek, and tends to veer more towards Maleficent and Jafar then Cinderella and Ariel, but the punch bowl is Mickey Mouse-shaped. There's a dance floor, and a string quartet, and all sorts of lavish foods on tables with red cloth. It's a night for mingling, at least.

[OOC Note: Part one of this is going up tonight in the first two subthreads. Part two will be edited into the last two subthreads tomorrow evening; you'll see why. Go forth and mingle! Tributes from downstairs can go say hello to the Victor, although they won't get long before the Peacekeepers escort them back down.]

Frankly, the outfits this time around seemed a lot better than anything else the capitol had subjected Barbara to. At least she hadn't been drowning in lace this time around. Her red outfit with its black squares was actually almst decent.

She was spending more time watching the other tributes than dancing herself. Occasionally having to hold back a chuckle. "Your first victory party?"

"Is it that obvious?" Pepper bit her lip a little. "Actually my first Capitol party." She did turn to look at the other girl.

"I think they went easy on the lace this time," she promised, plucking at her relatively modest dress. There was nothing like drowning in material that still didn't manage to cover the right spots.

"They do seem to go over the top for most things." Though she does like her dress even if it's a little shorter than she normally would wear it's tasteful.

She's just happy not to be drowning in fluff. "Have you... been to many parties?"

"Here? Pepper shook her head. "I've only been here a few days. Back home... Well none like this. Usually they're just a group of us hanging out at someone's house, all informal. You know pizza, sodas, loud music."

Well better loud music. She was still torn at if she liked what they were playing or not, and decided it needed more techno or rock.

"Dancing like you just don't care?" she gave a wry smile, taking in some of the capitol music. It definitely wasn't inspiring her to dance any jigs, now or in the near future.

Pepper grinned nodding. "Though this stuff, ugh, I think I'd rather be at one of Happy's parties. At least the music you can pretend to dance to, this stuff sounds like elevator... wait no, elevator music's better."

"Elevator music lets you use ear plugs," she pointed out. "This they actually expect us to listen to." Which was not cool in her book. Particularly if they actually expected her to treat it like a ball.

"Yeah, there's not even a beat that we could use to dance to this." She couldn't help but giggle. "At least the food isn't that bad. Though I've steered clear of anything that I didn't recognize."

"I'm avoiding anything that smokes," she promised, looking over to the smoking glasses.

Pepper glanced over at the glasses and nodded. "Yeah, might be a good idea, wouldn't want them to be able to magic you into a frog or something." Hey the theme of the party? Anything's possible right?

Barbara saw one woman flying in a giant bubble. Anything's possible.

"I was more worried about getting poisoned, but..."

Liver disease also made the list of worries. Now frogs.
