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.

Part of him was glad Thane was there to bear witness to this reaping. This place was nothing but a series of sick and twisted lies, hidden under the very thin veil of entertainment.

"I must've pissed off some deity to keep getting sent into these things." His voice carried no humour, despite the tone. When they had said that not everyone would be fighting it made him wonder if the winners had been predetermined, was this an excuse to kill off tributes? Or perhaps a reminder of their place here. He doubted that his district would've voted him into this when it seemed most people were too busy dying of starvation in hovels.

"Something isn't right about this."

"Certainly no deities have a grudge again you," Thane answered. Of course, the re were, for him, gods that ruled over many things, but he did doubt any of them cared particularly about Garrus or if he would fight in the arena. "No, something is very wrong and strange," Thane answered.

His instincts made him cautious about everything in Panem, but this, in particular, was not right. He was glad that he could witness it and gain knowledge, rather than be participating, even if Garrus was.

"You will do well, though." That was the right thing to say, right?

"I'll only do as well as my popularity with the masses holds." Garrus muttered, he was sure he'd pissed off some spirit or another, one of the many turian gods or perhaps even one of Thane's. Turning his head fractionally he let out a breath, agitation and weariness already clear in his frame.

"Keep an eye on Shepard while I'm in there, if I end up getting killed and there's a consequence for failure don't let her do anything too reckless and blow up a city block."

"I assure you Shepard will be doing no such things," Thane answered. After all, if he couldn't keep her from going on a killing spree, he was hardly a good companion for Shepard.

He would be sure to say a prayer for Garrus. "Should you die, you will only return," he answered.

"Guess I shouldn't tempt her," he laughed humourlessly and looked back at the stage once more for clarification that his name had actually been called.

"I just have a really bad feeling about this."

"I've felt uneasy since I arrived. There's no particular bad feelings about this, though. Nothing more than normal," Thane answered. Perhaps that, in of itself, was unsettling.

There was nothing here that put him at ease.
