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.

"Would you like some company?" he asked gently, because Guy looked like he was in the kind of state where he really might or really might not.
no subject
His voice was very distant. He was clearly in shock, his chest rising and falling rapidly with panic, though it had more to do with the Reaping than anything else. He wasn't bleeding that much.
no subject
"Is there anything I can do?" Short of performing a miracle, of course.
no subject
"Can I have a hug?"
He could do that.
no subject
If Guy were a troll, this request would be considered pretty overtly romantic, but he was a human and Signless was pretty sure they relegated hugs firmly into the non-romantic category. Either way he clearly needed pale affection to snap him out of his panic. So Signless pulled him into a hug, running one hand lightly through his hair and over his springy ponytail.
"Shoosh."
no subject
"It's just too much," he finally said. "I can handle it with a break but it's too much. Back home, in between the danger, there's always time to enjoy things. It makes the danger easier to deal with."
no subject
He gives Guy a very light pap on the cheek. "You won't be alone, though. I'll find you. You and the Disciple and I can face it together, if you want."
no subject
He tried to stay mobile and visit all his friends in turn. It really depended on how this thing was going to be structured.
"I have a funny feeling it's not going to be set up like a typical arena."
Then, because Signless had patted his cheek, he reached over to pat him back. It seemed like the gesture had some kind of social meaning.
"Boop."
1/2 because i will take every excuse to use these icons
no subject
"Boop," he affirmed, bumping their noses together.
no subject
He seemed more at ease now, though, shoulders relaxing, body going a bit more slack when it had been tensed with nervousness.
no subject
"You know, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm easy to find. You shouldn't have to hide alone under tables every time things get to be too much for you."
no subject
He took in a deep breath and forced it out again.
"But next time I'll try to swing by to get you first. I just - I just blanked out for a minute."
He added, "But it's a little better now."
no subject
In light of that, the Signless's mental state downgraded from 'tune out everything else in favor of shoosh attempts' to 'normal levels of friend-like worry'. Now that the more immediate emotional emergency had been at least somewhat dealt with, he remembered the blood that had led him here in the first place.
"Are you still bleeding?"
no subject
Now that he was a little calmer he felt awkward.
"Well, that was nice and dramatic, huh?"
no subject
He ran his thumb over the place on his finger where the Disciple had bit him just a little earlier. No one he knew was taking this well. And why should they? It wasn't right and it wasn't fair.
no subject
He took in a few deep breaths and let them out.
"It's - it's not like back home where people hug each other all the time. People have all this distance between them and don't hug as much or touch each other as much - or sleep in piles. And it's actually really hard? Especially times like this? They don't - I can't just go up and, you know, start grooming someone. They'd probably think I was crazy."
He looked sidelong at him, his expression rueful and a little sheepish.
"But you never seem to mind."
In fact, Signless often initiated.
Right now he was all squeezed in close, letting Guy rest his head on his shoulder but when he said hugs what he basically meant was he pretty much wanted to half-crawl into his lap, lay his head on his leg, and get cuddled. That was a proper hug.
