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.

"Finally, a face I don't recognize." Harley remarked as she drew close to the dragon. "Well I mean I've seen you on TV...it's this whole thing. Tell me does that stuff clog your pores?" A pause "Do dragons even have pores?" She added curiously.

She had been long curious about the dragon actually but had yet to make contact. Something else always seemed to be going on.

"I don't think I should have them. I have certainly never heard of them."

Not that she spends much time concerning herself with biology, but surely someone might have mentioned it if she did. And in any case, she has scales enough to make pores entirely inconvenient in the best of situations.

"Lucky you. I bet Dragon zits would be WAY worse then human zits. Probably with acid or something."

She laughed at her own joke, suspecting no one else would.

"It's just way creepy girl. Half these outfits look like people from my world. Like direct ripoffs, and I was starting to wonder if the stylists were trying to tell me something.

Iskierka certainly doesn't get it. Still, it doesn't seem to be terribly important just at the moment, and so she is more than content to let it fall to the wayside for the time being.

"I cannot see why they would have."

"Yeah me neither." She pulled on the tails of her hat idly.

"I mean, I'm a nice enough gal. I don't randomly assault people the way I used to. I'm downright pleasant if I do say so myself."

"I mean sure I sometimes throw bottles at people, or trip them on the stairs. And put hooks in that one girls mouth to force her to smile but she had it coming! She stole my friends cat!"

"Whyever would she have wanted to steal your friend's cat?"

Harley's reaction, however, doesn't really seem to bother her any. She might not have realized that humans could be quite that vindictive, but it certainly doesn't bother her.
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Thumbs up!)

"Huh? Oh that." Harley reacted sharply as if she hadn't brought it up and was surprised to hear about it.

"It's a long story, but the short version is that little french girl Eponine hates herself, and my pal Homura agitated Eponine by trying to help her. Eponine killed Homura and then felt guilty about it so when Eponine came home to the Capitol she trashed Homura's room and stole her cat. Well I couldn't very well let someone bully my pal like that could I?"

Of course some still reasoned she took her punishment too far. But as far as Harley was concerned, Eponine hadn't learned a thing so she hadn't taken it far enough.

Iskierka knows almost nothing about the people involved, which makes it a lot easier to not blink at the descriptions. It is, of course, not going to give her the best impression of Eponine, but that's probably not something that can be helped and in any case, Iskierka is already disinclined to like her on the basis of her being French.

"I would not have let someone do so, if it had been me."

"Precisely!" Harley declared proudly, glad to have found someone who agreed with her.

"But the kid has like, no fear of physical pain so I couldn't punish her with a sound spanking. But she's got this hyper sensitive ego see? So I dressed her up in the biggest fashion disaster I could come up with, glued a wig to her head and walked her through town on a leash till she led me to the cat. And by god we got that little kitty back where she belonged!"

Harley Quinn, hero to felines.
