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.

"Alright. That makes sense." High ground seems a bit risky to Venus - most people who plan head that way, and Pruna may run into traffic or bottlenecking. Still, with no idea what they're facing they have few options. She rocks forward on her high heels and cranes her neck, gesturing to the crowd with one orange-nailed finger. "That's Courfeyrac. The one with the dark curly hair. See him?"

The problem with having so many Arenas under your belt is that you make too many friends. Venus has just been lucky that most of hers haven't died.

"Have you met Guy Crood?"

Wyatt knew it wasn't the best of the plans, but as he had with Howard, with no other idea as what the Gamemakers would spring on them, he could say it was better than nothing.

He followed her hand, turning back to the party and ducking a bit to catch a glimpse of the man in question before a woman in black suit and blonde hair piled atop her head moved and blocked his view.

"He the one that attacked the stylists that one time?" he asked, recalling the story overheard from his own team, all gasping whispers. Eager gossip.

Wyatt couldn't say he blamed him.

She nods. "Apparently they didn't sedate him before they decided to shave him all over."

Honestly, she gets along well with her Stylist, but she suspects she's one of the only ones. She has to admit that even by her standards, the Stylists here are painfully invasive.

"If we run into him, he's friend, not foe."

Wyatt gave small, quick shake of his head to clear it -- remembering all too well how the conversation about shaving had gone with his stylist, then agreed.

"He plays nice, I will too," he promised.

"I should find Courfeyrac and solidify our plans." She nods. "Take care of yourself and Max tonight, alright?"

"I will," he nodded. "An', Venus, try an' do the same, ya hear?"

"Sheriff's orders," she says, and saunters off, heels clacking against the floor.

His mouth twitched, a small curl, as Venus disappeared into the crowd, then he turned away from the party again, back to the distant lights.

He'd have his drink with Howard, then see if he couldn't find Max again.

Surely the man's escort could give them one more night.
