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.

"I'm just boggled they show it all on tv," Susannah says, taking another small sip of her drink. "When I'm from you wouldn't see things that violent any time but on the nightly news and then you'd have the soothin' voice of Walter Cronkite to alleviate it a bit."

"Well sure! I mean it's pretty heavily edited in favor of the boys upstairs." She jerked a thumb as if the heads of the Capitol were just above them.

"They make us look how they want. For better or for worse. And we can't say a word about it because they'll just punish us if we complain too much...at least if anyone pays attention to our complaints."

"Which they don't," Susannah finishes. "Or if someone does it's that Penny woman."

The thought is galling. She takes a sip of her drink, in hopes that being slightly tipsy will make the night easier.

Harley lit up delighted.

"Oh Penny? Yeah she's a kick! She'd probably rip out your eyes as soon as look at ya! I'd love to learn what makes her tick if she'd ever let me close enough for a few hours. But she's super secretive."

Much to Harley's dismay.

"Honestly I'm surprised they haven't sent me to be punished by her given how I am. But I guess I'm more fun then irritating."

"That's certainly why I'm still friends with you," Susannah says--and then winces, because she hadn't meant to say that, not at all. She stares balefully down at her drink.

"Aw! Thanks girl!" Harley threw an arm around Susannah drawing her in for a hug "If I can keep you happy even with how gloomy you insist on making yourself then I'm doing pretty good."

"I'm not gloomy," Susannah protests. "I'm just-- serious, sometimes. We can't always be as sunny as you, Miss Harley Quinn."
revvinguptheharley: (Harley: Fist pump!)

"Oh I'd never ask that of you Susie Q. You do what ya gotta do to feel better when things make ya blue. Besides if you were always as sunny as me then you wouldn't need me to lean on." She cheered pumping a gloved fist in the air.

"Yay being useful!"

Susannah rolls her eyes.

Harley might be right, though? Isn't that partly why she needs Eddie, because he makes he laugh? That's probably part of why she's friends with Harley.

Good place to fade to black ominously/ironically?
