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.

Terezi Pyrope | open | pre-reaping

Superheroes. Terezi wants to laugh. Even though she's a lot older now, Terezi still feels like she's gearing up for another FLARP campaign. She's honestly surprised--and thankful--that her stylist didn't just plop her into her Redglare costume. Maybe that would have been too cliche?

Either way, Terezi clutches a colorfully fruity drink in one hand and sniffs curiously at the laser tag game, all while decked out in a dashing outfit in her signature colors. The blindfold really takes the cake for her. She even willingly gave up her glasses for it--just for the night.

Now if she can just find some people to have some fun with her...

It's interesting, often, when he finally sees a tribute in person after seeing their face everywhere. In this particular instance, he'd even spoken to her, at length, without having met in person. But if he was forced to be at this party, then that was at least something that he could rectify.

"Seems a peculiar outfit in which to be guarding the law," He mused as he came up beside her. Then again, he was hardly one to talk.

"Which part? The ruffles? The blindfold? If you are opposed to blindfolds, you should take it up with your Lady Liberty." Terezi responds without missing a beat. She only realizes who she's talking to halfway through her rebuttal. She takes a few sniffs, then presses her free hand to her chest in mock surprise.

"But Mr. Not-Detective! You smell so fancy in your trenchcoat! Very cliche. Do you have a cap to go with that? A pipe? A magnifying glass?"

"The blindfold is perhaps the most appropriate part," Sherlock said with a smirk. He raised an eyebrow at the questions, with absolutely no way of having any idea where any of those references came from.

He hadn't invented them yet, after all.

"Sunglasses. Apparently they were deemed most appropriate for an indoor party."

"Good. Because the blindfold is the part I like best." And the part that amuses her the most. It's probably some level of ironic, but she's not the knowledgeable one on the varying degrees of irony.

At the mention of sunglasses, Terezi makes a very undignified snorting sound in the back of her throat.

"You are nowhere near cool enough to wear your sunglasses inside. Or at night. I'm not even sure if you're cool enough to wear them in broad daylight."

"The implication that sunglasses have any inherent coolness attached to them is, I think, a completely false one." He's not going to argue about whether or not he is cool.

He's too cool to care about whether or not other people think he is. That was just blatant fact.

"Besides, I think they were supplied to me more in an attempt to make me ridiculous than anything else."

"Then I should congratulate your stylist on a job well done! You smell positively hilarious."

Terezi is actually going to pick at the edge of his coat, sniffing the material and crinkling her nose a bit. "And also kind of weird. What the hell did they make this out of?"

"Some kind of mutated leather mixed with polyester, I believe." He sounded annoyed. The new fabrics introduced to the capitol had taken him a long time to figure out, and given that he couldn't visit the factories or indeed see the fabric easily in its unaltered condition, it annoyed him that he had to really think about it rather than being able to identify it on sight.

"As ridiculous as the rest of it."
