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.

"I don't think it'll bite you," Gabriel told her, sort of glancing back to look at her, "It's not what you think... Do you like chocolate? Everyone should."
no subject
"Oh, Monsieur, I will eat anything, truly. But chocolate - mmmm! My Pa, he used to buy a bit for Azelma and I for Christmas when we were little, just a taste. I loved it. And all of those years - when we moved to Paris, there was no chocolate for me, and I used to drag Azelma right across the city so we could sit outside the chocolate shop and smell it and beg the customers, just for a little bit, but we never got it. Just an earful and the threat of the bobbies, and then didn't we have to run, Sir? But it was worth it." She was grinning from ear to ear. That was quite a happy memory - made especially sweet by this strange, grumpy man promising her chocolate.
no subject
"Well, you'll love this." He asks the bartender for two chocolate shakes, getting a bit of an odd look, but turning back to the girl, anyway. "You know, you can have chocolate here any time you want. They got all sorts of different kinds."
no subject
She's quite happy to chatter food. It's one of her favourite topics, and she can talk of it all day.
"What do you like best, Sir?"
no subject
He could have listed things all damn day if the bartender hadn't come back with two marvelous milkshakes. Gabriel smiled and placed one of them down in front of her. "There you go, sweet heart. One glass of pure chocolate goodness."
This was gonna be enjoyable to watch. For once, he meant that in a good way, and took up his own drink.
no subject
"Oh, Sir! Sir, it's - it's beautiful." Words quite failed Eponine. She was always surprised that she could never cease to be amazed about food. Or, in this case, drink.
She reached out to pull her milkshake closer, and stirred the big, twirly straw through the cream and the chocolate balls on the top.
"You drink it first. Tell me what it tastes like? It's almost too glorious to drink, Sir. I could just look at it forever."
no subject
"Mmm," he smiled to her. "Tastes like Heaven."
no subject
"Mmmmm." She closed her eyes. "If that is what Heaven tastes like, then I will be sorry never to see it. It is the best thing I have ever tasted. And," She opened her eyes and grinned mischievously at Gabriel, "That, Sir, is the first time I have seen you smile."

no subject
That was a sight that Eponine didn't think she'd ever see, and one that she would dearly like to. But the hope for heaven was long lost on her. She was too poor even to pray. How could she go to heaven if she could not go to church?
no subject
Gabriel wasn't lying when he said that he preferred the milkshakes, though, so he took another sip of that before rotating around on his stool chair. "Yeah, we all got these powers. Dad gave them to us once upon a time. Again, overrated."
Write it down, folks. Gabriel is calling the powers of Heaven overrated... Michael is a dick, though.
no subject
no subject
"But anyway. Yes, he did and, yes, he was. Dad was cool... for the most part. You know, a typical Dad."
no subject
"I do not know about a cool Dad, Sir. My Pa... he is even more rotten than I. He were a good Pa when I were little, but... it's the way, no? Well, not for you." She laughs uneasily.
"Tell me of your powers." She wants to change the subject - and she does so like the idea of magic and powers. She does have a genuine interest in what Gabriel has to say.
no subject
He listens about her dad, but doesn't say anything right off until she's done and he's thought about it. After a moment, Gabriel shrugs. "Not all beings were made to be a father." He loves God, of course, but even he didn't agree with some choices that were made.
"My powers?" He chuckles. "Well, I can fly. Sort of. It's so fast that it looks like I vanished in one spot and popped up in another. And I'm pretty resilient against dying, so that's a good quality. I can control space and time. I can go and be whatever I want. All nice and fun things, honestly, but it doesn't mean that I can run from my problems either."
no subject
no subject
"I'll show you," he nodded, "I got 'em in the last one, you know, but I got all mean, too. Came with a price, I guess. If I'm not a big grouchy gus next time, then sure. I'll show you what I can do."
no subject
"Thank you for the milkshake. It was perhaps just a little taste of heaven in my mouth - the closest I shall come anyway, so I thank you for that. But now - perhaps you do not want to waste all your evening on me."
no subject
He didn't like this never going to Heaven business that seemed to be stuck in her head, but he also didn't see a whole lot of good coming out of Heaven either...
