The Crowning of Mindy McReady
Who| Everyone who's anyone.
What| The Crowning.
Where| A warehouse on the edge of town.
When| Starting from early evening till late into the night.
Warnings/Notes| Be sure to check the linked thread for plot purposes, even if you don't tag into it.
The party is brightly colored.
The theme, subtly, is super heroes. Boldly paints city scapes are splattered across the walls, and hallways are made to look like dingy, potentially crime ridden alleys. From the upper walkways of the warehouse, party goers can get hooked into harnesses and swing out over the dance floor. Above them, tributes and VIPS can find themselves on a clear plastic dance floor levitated above everything, looking like they're hanging in air.
Masks are passed out in plenty, and capes are easy to find, while brightly colored drinks themed around super powers are plentiful. None of them actually work, but many of the Capitol people are happy to pretend, mocking super strength or invisibility with each new beverage.
Under the dance floor a catacomb of tunnels and rooms full of obstacles is splashed with black light receptive colors. Party goers are given vests and laser guns, marked green for villains and red for heros, and set loose to hunt each other in the laser tags playground. The screens in the dance floor keep a running tally of which side is winning, displaying the players on the screens around the room, along with clips from the arenas.
About half way through the night, everyone is gathered to the main stage for a special announcement.

Hanji Zoe
She'd been squeezed into a tight-fitting white lab coat, crimson blouse (complete with plunging neckline), a black pencil skirt, elbow-length black gloves and knee-high "lab boots" with heels on them. Really, it just made her feel a bit awkward. At least they'd let her keep her goggles. Still, she was trying to have a good time. Her eyes had popped a little at the spread of food they were provided with, so for most of the party she drifts around the food tables, nibbling on things and trying to understand it all.
She'll get proactive once she she better understands the place.
Re: Hanji Zoe
It's a relief to be at a Crowning where she has no feelings about the reigning winner. Other people can worry about the Victor. Venus cares for Mindy's well-being only in that Mindy's a young girl and seems close with Ellie, but other people are better suited to do the caring there.
"Oh, my God. I need to find whoever invented chocolate-covered strawberries and give them a bear hug." She takes her fondue skewer and jabs yet another piece of fruit into the fountain. Having tastebuds again, even after a year, still hasn't gotten old. "You're a new face, and you're all dressed up and looking not to happy about it, so let me guess - Tribute?"
no subject
She takes a small sip from her drink, letting the taste linger on her tongue. She's not trying to get drunk, just nurse something through the evening. "You're one of the veterans? Almost everyone I've met has been here for months."
no subject
"Been doing this for almost a year now. Three Arenas. I guess the higher ups like me." She points a hand up like she's gesturing to God.
no subject
"It seems so wasteful to have us fighting to the death over and over. What's the point of it?"
Entertainment she can understand. Wrapping her head around it is a bit more difficult.
no subject
She grabs another strawberry. "In my opinion, we're giving people something to care about in a world where they don't know how to love right anymore."
no subject
She shakes her head, "This doesn't feel like it actually teaches anyone. But maybe I just haven't been here long enough."
no subject
no subject
Venus' question distracts her.
"That depends on what you're trying to learn at the moment!"
Her reply is much more upbeat, for some reason.
no subject
She uses this moment to start loading up her skewer with about forty different kinds of fruit because hell yeah fruit.

Seeing someone who looks painfully familiar isn't something he's expecting. He had Armin, and Jean showed up too...But he hadn't been expecting to see another person, especially after everything he had seen back in his home. But this women is familiar, and it take him a while to put two and two together. (He's never seen the Captain look anything like that. She looks like an entirely different person out of uniform, but it's relieving to see one of his fellow Scouting Legion members here.)
"Captain Zoe?" He approaches her cautiously, because, really, he wouldn't be surprised if she still wants to run experiments on him, and he's not quite sure he's ready for that at this current moment in time.
no subject
"Eren!"
It's her excited voice and it cuts through the noise as she raises her voice.
"You're here!"
Which is worrying all on its own, but it's also a familiar face in a completely alien world. She claps him on the shoulder, grinning, "You're a sight for sore eyes."
Ain't no party like a Shingeki party? Feel free to tell me to GTFO if you'd prefer separate threads
"Eren! Finally I fo-" And someone must have stepped on his cape mid-stride because he just got yanked backward by the throat with a choked sound.
"Captain!" he said with surprise when he saw her. His voice was slightly strained while he tried to free himself. He took a step backward to retain his balance and keep from being strangled. The person's foot left a moment later, and he gathered the cape up behind his ankles.
cause a shingeki party don't stop until everyone is dead
He offers Hanji a small smile, and a nod. "It's been a while, Captain."
Longer than he would have wanted it to be, and he picks at his spandex as he stares at Armin. He'll be able to explain everything to her, right? Right. Do your job, best friend.
no subject
Hanji's laughter is a bit more good-natured than Eren's, but she thinks the costume is a little ridiculous. Not that it's her first worry, in any case (but it is amusing). She gives Armin a clap on the shoulder and then slings an arm around their shoulders, "I just saw the two of you a couple days ago - how long have you been here?"
no subject
"We'll have to do some catching up after this party," he added. "When it's a bit quieter and there's not so many people around."
no subject
Most importantly, he recognizes that this Tribute must be new. He also sees a bit of his own first reaction to the food, there, as well - the surprise and how overwhelming having so much so suddenly was, the desire to try a little bit of everything. "It takes some time to get used to," he finds himself saying before he decides he shouldn't stick his nose into other people's business. The wine has made him more sociable than he usually is. "But I am sure you will find these occasions become easier with time, ma'am." It's his way of saying hello.
no subject
Or whatever the Hell this is. She hoists her glass in a sarcastic little toast to their hosts, "At least they're providing free food. I guess I can't complain too much."
no subject
no subject
"I'm Hanji Zoe! And I just arrived here a day or two ago, so not all that long, really."
no subject
"I am sure it is no comfort, but welcome nonetheless, Miss Zoe. I have found myself stuck here for some time - if there is anything you need to know, do not hesitate to ask." He truly must have been tipsy if he was extending his help to others without any apprehension.
no subject
That's not really that funny, but you laugh so you don't cry.
"I really appreciate the welcome."
no subject
no subject
The whole gladiatorial arena thing is new. Even if the fighting and dying isn't.
"But I'l consider it - maybe it'll be useful to find a few good people."
