The Capitol had been winding up to this for weeks. More and more extravagant decorations had begun to appear all over the city. Gruesome alleys dripping with gore, houses transformed into creaking, ancient cobweb covered dwellings, flickering ghosts haunting windows and doorways. The citizens themselves had becomes more and more extravagant as the days crept closer, dripping in glitters spiderwebs, hair teased to coil around pumpkins and crows, and decked out in meticulous costumes, often celebrating past victors, and even current tributes.

The ball at the Tribute Training Center wasn't anywhere near the only party that night, but it was the most extravagant, and the most sought after. The decorations had gone towards the classic (perhaps the goverment realizing other areas might move too close to home.) The building had been transformed into a spooky, ancient looking mansion, over taken by spiders and lit with flickering candles everywhere. The tables were spread with unimaginable heaping of treats, from grotesqueness mock organs to sparkling jewel colored sugar covered candies. Avoxs move about, for once literally ghosts, covered in their own shrouds of spider webs and sheer gauze, holding plates of smoking drinks.

Attendance for the Tributes was mandatory. As were costumes. And oh boy did their stylists go all out for this one. It was a parade and a party all rolled into ones and they weren't going to slack on that.

If Anna wasn't drunk enough for the party, she probably wasn't drunk enough for Donatello.

"Ciao! Si deve essere nuovo per il Campidoglio?"

Yup, he heard that Italian she spoke.

"Si parla Italiano?"

Of course those were the first words out of her mouth, because, well, she hadn't turned around. But when she did, well, her eyes nearly jumped out of her skull.

"A talkin' humanoid turtle dressed as the Higgs Boson particle. That speaks Italian. I-- I need to lay off the tequila."

"Parlo un po 'di italiano. Imparato dai venditori di pizza a Brooklyn. Eheh..." At this, Don rubbed his head. "I don't think it'll help whether or not you drink, ma'am. Though I'm glad someone else knows what I'm dressed as."

"You're from New York City?" Her brows arched even higher, because she'd never heard of talking turtles in her city. Not even a whisper. "Name's Anna."

"Donatello." He's not surprised. Back home people thought he was an alien thanks to Bishop. "And I am, actually. Currently living in Central Park."
itswhoyouare: (happy; she's so pleasant)

"Well, shit. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I've finally lost my mind. And here everyone thinks there are alligators in the sewers. Nope, just talkin' turtles in Central Park." She said slowly, her lips curling up into a smile and resulting in a laugh.

"Ahahaha..." Don rubbed his head. "Yeah. We actually outnumber Leatherhead four to one. And...we get that reaction a lot back home, so you wouldn't be the only one, ma'am."
