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.

"She did be looking happy." Pruna agreed, "But she do be always be looking happy about us killing each other." She shrugged. "She might be having something planned though, this do be being new so they will be wanting it to be being interesting."

"Yeah," Karkat says, "and I've noticed that what the Capitol really finds interesting is giant monsters trying to eat everyone."

"That's because giant monsters do be being interesting." She pointed out. "I can be killing giant monsters, they will no be eating me."

"I can too--" Well, with someone to partner with him anyway. "--but Signless can't."
knifewithnoname: (oh I see)

"Well he should be learning." She rolled her eyes, "He do no be being a ba... wriggler."

"Yeah, I know," Karkat replies, irritably. "I've been trying to teach him to fight, but he's no good at my style, he didn't start young enough so he doesn't have enough flexibility."
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

She shook her head, wrinkling her nose again, "There do be being lots of people who could be teaching him, and they do all be fighting differently."

"Yeah," Karkat says, "he said he was going to try to get them to." He's frowning, still.

Pruna nodded, "Then he will be being fine. You should no be worrying your stupid head."

"You need to really work on your reassuring people, Doobie," Karkat says, shaking his head, but weirdly it does seemed to have worked a little. At least he's able to discuss this sort of calmly.

Pruna shrugged, "No one did ever be teaching me how, so I do no be thinking it do be being very important."

Mostly, she no longer believed that her guardians had taught her everything she ever needed to know, there was so much here that she didn't understand. And reassuring people could be useful, it would help her with Sandy anyways.
