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.

"Ok then." Don nodded - well did he understand how frightened she must have been - and quietly slid down next to her. "That..."

He found himself a bit stymied as to what to say. Seriously, what the shell could he say?

"...I'm sorry."

Elsa could relate. Even though he was right next to her, she felt at a loss as to what to even say to him, too. So when he spoke, she shook her head gently.

"Thank you. But it's fine... I'll be fine. It's just an arena. I made it through the first one, I can make it through this one, as well." The suddenness and circumstances behind it just made it really hard to swallow.

"Yeah..." At this, Don looked down. "Doesn't...really make it any easier, though."

Elsa gave a small, miserable nod. "I know," she said quietly. "I'm not sure anything could at this point. But... I'm trying, you know? To be okay. I'm trying as hard as I can."

At this, Don quietly nodded.

"...Look if...you need anything..."

She was nodding even before he finished speaking. "Thank you," she said, trying to show her gratitude in her voice. It was hard, with how she felt. "That's very kind of you. You've been very nice to me ever since I met you."

"I..." After a moment, Don nodded. "Of course. Any time."
