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.

"As if I would be anywhere else," Maximus grumbled, his mood still utterly spoiled, the anger rippling under his skin, that is made it impossible to return Wyatt's smile.

"I will be here, Wyatt. You wouldn't be able to convince me otherwise if you tried."

"I'll be back."

So what if it was 'special.' It was still an arena, which meant there still had to be a winner. Maybe this time, with so few of them going in....

Pruna's face flashed before him. Then Venus', Joel's.

His forehead shifted against Max's, his head turning slightly as he breathed. A long inhale, dragging the scent of leather and soap and Max deep into his lungs.

"I love you."

"I know," Maximus rumbled lowly, leaning up to press a kiss to Wyatt's forehead. He couldn't say it back, just then, not without it sounding like a plea. His fingers tightened on his hair, as if for a moment he considered simply not letting go. Eventually, however, he did so, stepping back and standing tall.

"Strength and Honour," He offered.

Good Luck.

Reluctantly, Wyatt followed. His grip slowly falling away, taking a deep breath to fill the void the loss left behind.

"An' the same to you, Max," he nodded.

He hesitated a moment longer, the moment feeling oddly formal, as if this was the goodbye now, rather than later...but then, maybe that was for the best.

The long they waited, the harder it would be.

Then with a last lingering look, he nodded again, and turned away, disappearing into the crowd.
