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.

There was nothing he could say to that first part that wouldn't get him in trouble somewhere.

"I nearly had the pleasure of being killed by her. But I avoided it by a bit."

He gives Azula a sidelong look. "What would you have seen in celebration instead?"

She had to consider that for a moment.

"Well my own victory dinner was less of a theme and more of a acknowledgment of my greatness. We had lightning streaking across the ceiling and blue fire setting a dark, mellow ambiance." She sighed happily thinking back to the memory.

"Everyone was so clean and trim, even the more extravagant and eye catching of fashion choices seemed to melt into the mood as all eyes were on me. I could feel the warmth of their respect and pride washing over me every moment till I retired that evening."

Cuthbert nodded slowly but he wasn't all that convinced that her description was better.

"So you were happier with a crowd all with their attention on you? Is that what you're lacking here? Attention?"

He knew how dangerous it was to tease people who were in bed with the Capitol, but he couldn't help himself.

Her lips pursed into a thin line of annoyance and she eyed him like a wolf sizing up it's next meal.

"It's not my party, so it wouldn't be logical for all the attention to be on me. Just because I don't like our new victor doesn't mean I will disrespect her at her own party."

That would just be rude, even by Azula's standards.
