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.

Bert leans over to look at the troll in blue. He grins when he sees who it is.

"... Karkat! Is that you in all that blue?"

"No shit it is," Karkat replies, rolling his eyes. Not that Bert will be able to see it under the bulging yellow lenses. "I tried to tell Victory to put me in grey but she never fucking listens."

"Mayhap you just never have anything interesting to say."

He looks Karkat all over and decides he likes it. "Shall we get a drink? 'Tis one of the few things these celebrations are good for."

"Or maybe she's stupid and crazy," Karkat says under his breath. "Yeah. Sure. And eat something too, I'm hungry."

"Well, then to food we shall go! 'Tis the number one cure for hunger."

He leads Karkat off to find food and tries to ignore the people snickering or staring at them. He knew he looked good and it had to just be an extension of that.

Karkat follows Bert reluctantly. "Also, I hate these lenses. Everyone looks yellow and weird."
