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.

It mattered little to him whether she liked him or not, or what her reasons for shadowing Aunamee were. Fact remained that she had.

She was just luckily the man was moldering again.

"I see. But may I ask why you simply didn't do it yourself?"

"Kidnapped Howard and tied him up?" Eponine laughed easily. "He would have killed me. He is scared of Monsieur Aunamee. Me, I do not see why. Monsieur Aunamee is a man who is both wolf and cat. You must tame him and try him. But Howard sees only the wolf. For me, he would have just killed me. But Aunamee can do as he wishes and easily, too."

Wesker tsked, a sharp clucking on his tongue.

"You sell yourself so very short, Eponine. You hold the key to one of that boy's greatest weaknesses and can't even see it." His head inclined elegantly, light flashing down at her from the dark lenses. "You could break him, if you weren't so busy moping."
gardienne: (I don't want your money)

"Yeah?" She shrugged. "How, Monsieur? You tell me how, and I will do whatever you like, here or in the arena. You tell me, and I shall be faithful to you."

Until it suited her to latch onto somebody else again.

He exhaled, a long-suffered breath that flared his nose.

"That boy loves you," he told her, as if it was - and it was - obvious. "Even if he isn't in love with you, he still cares, and that makes him weak. A little imagination, and you can end him."
gardienne: (jealous reply)

"He does, doesn't he?" She thought about it. Howard had proved his love when he had tried to save her from Harley. He'd fought for her, and been injured for her. Even in the arena, he'd prevented Wyatt from killing her.

"I could trick him, pretend to be his friend, and stab him whilst he sleeps. I could do it to Sigma as well." She bit her lip. Look how she was talking. But she was already a murderer. She had nothing to lose now. If she just did it, she could win and stay like Wesker.

Wesker could almost hear the click as the switch flicked behind her eyes, the light coming on.

"There's my girl," he purred. But he paused, just a moment, to consider her before he continued. "Though, if I were you, I would go a step further. He took everything from you, Eponine, take everything from him. And remember--" light flashed, a ruby flare behind his glasses, "--there so much worse things than death."
gardienne: (do you hear the people sing?)

"Do you want him, Monsieur? Howard?" She tilted her head to the side as she tried to understand Wesker. "Do you want him broken? I do not know how much I can do - he is in love with men."

But it was so nice to be called his girl. With Aunamee gone, and Sigma apparently turning his back on her, she felt like Wesker was about the only man left she could turn to for guidance. And as much as she might have found his desire distasteful, she yearned for his approval as well.

"I will do my best for you, if you will help me. I am to save Ian - he is a good lad, not like us. He don't deserve this. But if you help me, I can help him."

She curtseyed, and waited to see if Wesker was tired of her. If he wanted her off, she'd slink away and mull over his words on Howard.

He arched a bemused eyebrow. Wasn't she suddenly eager to please?

"I want, what you want, Eponine," he drawled. "You figure out what that is, you do let me know."

And with that, unless she had something decisive to tell him, she was dismissed.
