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.

Justin is either observing the mentor or just kind of spacing out while staring in her general direction. It's kind of hard to tell with him sometimes. But whatever he's doing, he has no intention of stopping. Maybe it will spark an interesting reaction from her.

Maybe she'll just start screaming at him for admitting during the Arena that he has no intention of winning, just wants to kill as many people as he can as many times as he can.

Johanna glared at her Tribute every now and again, unsettled that he was staring at her. She had tried to avoid Justin since his return: she found it difficult to deal with his annoying habits and gobby manner. More, it annoyed her that he wasn't at least a little bit wary of her.

After a while, though, she moved her way over. "Put your eyes back in your head and start doing some damage control, Gobs."
deafscythe: (One more for measure)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-03-29 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, I thought damage control was part of your job." Obviously, it is her job, and obviously she's not doing a very good job if she's asking tributes to do it for her.

Sorry. The flu floored me!

"Oh, shut up." Johanna snapped. "You make your mess, you clean it up. I'm your mentor, not your minder. And I don't even want that job." Honestly, he was so obnoxious. Johanna couldn't be blamed for snapping.
deafscythe: (Not your decision)

totally okay!

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-06 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"You assume that I want to." Justin has no interest in damage control.
nooneleft: (evil glare)

thanks hun!

"No. I know that you have to. Do you want a single sponsor at all?" Johanna groaned in frustration. "Do it now, or so help me, I will stick my axe in you whilst you snore tonight."
deafscythe: (I could practice preservation)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-11 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Here I thought I was being excessively appealing." Justin shrugged, stance casual. He has no fear of anyone, least of all Johanna. "Were the sponsors not entertained?"
nooneleft: (evil glare)

[personal profile] nooneleft 2014-04-12 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"No." Johanna was equally blunt as she stepped into Justin's personal space. "They thought you were weak. I won't have weak Tributes. Pull yourself together and sort your mess out."
deafscythe: (Dead scared)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-12 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Justin froze, stoped in his tracks as surely as if she'd just slapped him across the face.

"Weak?" He asked, suddenly angry. "Are they blind?"
nooneleft: (retort)

[personal profile] nooneleft 2014-04-12 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Quite possibly." Johanna smirked. "But that's not the point. They think you're boring, that you're weak. That you're just a puppet for someone more powerful than you. You're gonna have no sponsors at this rate."

Come on. Let her goad him into providing some first class entertainment - or at least get some more sponsors for District 7.
deafscythe: (On a world that is falling down)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-13 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
"They simply have no concept of what a priest is." He had no idea that this was such a difficult concept. A priest is the tool of his god. Justin will never be anything other than a puppet.

"What do they want from me? I have no intention of winning, and a lack of sponsorship will not cause me to change my mind."
nooneleft: (can't believe you said that)

[personal profile] nooneleft 2014-04-21 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well then you need to educate them." Johanna was quite firm. She was utterly fed up with Justin and his stinking attitude.

"And you do NOT tell them you don't want to win. Personally, I'm glad you don't - there's more chance you'll die for good if you keep fighting. Believe me, we'll all be glad of the peace and quiet. But don't tell them that. We need the money - we can at least send it back to District 7."
deafscythe: (Bang! Bang!)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-21 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"I do not care about your district." They brought him here, dragged him from his world against his will, order him to fight for their entertainment. Justin hopes they all starve.

"So you're gonna take your anger out on innocent people?" Johanna understood anger. She lived and breathed anger. But she had learned to channel her rage against the people who were in charge , who had done this to her. And never, never had she taken it out against the innocent. Never had she killed anyone outside the arena.

Except her parents.

"Get out of my sight." Johanna barked. "Count yourself lucky that I don't have a weapon, kid."
deafscythe: ('Cause the needle's in the red!)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-21 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Justin is not intimidated. Not for one second has Johanna been more than just a blustering, angry, member of this weak world. He looks down at her, smirking.

"Am I supposed to be afraid of you?"
nooneleft: (can't believe you said that)

[personal profile] nooneleft 2014-04-21 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
She gets right up into his face, snarling.

"Yes. You are."
deafscythe: (My my I just can't lie.)

[personal profile] deafscythe 2014-04-21 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
He remains impassive, doesn't so much as lean back from her. Justin's expression is hovering on the amused edge of mocking.

"Perhaps you should try harder."
