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.

God, it really is noticeable, isn't it? Hans keeps his chipper mask up, but he's cringing on the inside. He'd do anything for a vest or a shirt right now, it's chillier than it has any right to be here.

"This?" He looks down at himself, bursting into a brief but excitable laugh before calming himself. "Certainly not for a Prince! I'd give the Queen a fit." He shakes his head, still smiling. "We prefer layers. Lots of them. I'm actually a little jealous of your outfit."

Kili is almost tempted to offer his own jacket, if it would fit, but with their height differences, he’s not sure it would cover much more than Hans’s current duster. The dwarf looks down at himself and the green, sequined thing in conjunction with the too-large bow.

“ ‘s better than yours,” he snorts out, despite his dislike of the lack of Durin blue and how the bow is nearly as tall as him. “Still not fit for a prince.”

Because as the second-in-line to the throne of Erebor behind his brother, Kili is technically a prince, but every day he would much prefer to simply be Kili.

It's probably a good thing he doesn't offer, Hans would feel terribly rude if he laughed. He's not sure how sensitive Dwarves are to height and size related nuances in conversation, but he can't imagine they're fond of jokes.

"Now, now. This is hardly a competition." He chuckles, glancing around the room of costumed people. It could very well be a competition, but the outfits are just a small portion of what the real contest is.

"For all the obsess about royalty they really aren't all that respectful of it. --Not that I want to be treated better than the other tributes, of course. But it's such strange behaviour."
emptytrousers: (Of the darkness in my heart.)

Well it's not a competition, but Kili can't help but feel more secure in something that actually covers all of his chest. Still, Hans has a point, even if Kili doesn't truly see himself as a prince. Despite technically being foreign dignitaries, they were still forced to kill and slaughter their friends.

"If they would let us out of the Games, I'd be happy to be treated differently," Kili drops his voice to a more conspiratorial whisper than anything too outright.

“I doubt they see it as anything more than a gimmick.” He response with a shake of his head, his voice lowered to match Kili’s. “In fact, I’d worry that it lead to bigger targets on our heads before it would ever get us out of there.” He tightens his mouth into a grim line.
