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.

"I did not. But how nice of my home district to have chosen you as one of their favorites. Perhaps you should record a thank you message to them for this opportunity."
She took a sip from her drink "There is a fairly even spread of competition, what are you going to do about Elsa?" Knowing his connection to her as well as how she caused his death the first time.
no subject
"I'm honored, really. Does a thank you message seem wise to you, though? Do we want to encourage them to spring this sort of thing on us?" He's trying not to look terribly displeased, more curious and uncertain than anything. He doesn't want anyone to misconstrue their conversation as scheming, so he'll force a smile when she asks him about her.
"What would you have me do, madam?"
no subject
"First, you will relax. This is sudden, but as you should know by now the games thrive on spontaneity. They want to keep things fresh and interesting and distracting. So if they can put you on edge you're likely to provide a bigger spectacle."
And to some that was a benefit.
"We'll continue training tomorrow, increase the amount of time we train each day. Venus may or may not join us. That is her choice. When the time comes you will show yourself to be the hero you've always known you were inside. With grace and style you will strike, and when it is all over you will stand high above the rest as a champion. They will cry out your name in adoration and respect and you will be given the position of mentor to those less wonderful and skilled then yourself."
She watched him carefully through her little rant to gauge his reactions and consider best how to proceed. It wasn't clear how long they had, but Azula could only guess that the time left was precious.
no subject
"Of course, you're right." There's a begrudgingly bitter little lilt to his voice, not because he doesn't think she's right, but because her statement isn't something he really wants to think about. Apparently.
"More training would be for the best, yes." He seems to be calming from a great shock, everything is said with a tentative air as if there's some uncertainty still lingering over him. He'll nod along as she encourages him further, still seeming unsure. Deep down, she's giving him dangerous ideas. Everything she's saying sounds like something he desperately wants, something he's been searching for as long as he can remember.
He draws in another small breath and lets the calm wash over him in a more obvious manner. "With regards to Venus.. Do you think I'll be at a disadvantage being so new? Everyone seems to know each other already, I'm an outsider to them."
no subject
Some sponsors scurried up to congratulate them and Azula flashed them a polite but fierce smile that assured they would not linger.
"There will be less tributes then last time. But that does not necessarily mean things will end faster." She studied him curiously for a moment.
"How many of the tributes for this arena do you know? How many are you prepared to kill?" She of course knew of his relationship to Elsa, but she was only one of so many.
