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.

"Cry your pardon, sai, 'twas an honest mistake." He leers down from his entire six foot height and grins.

"But if this is going to be such a large issue with you, I'm certain it will come up again. I understand that you're a bit short in the temper, so I will be the bigger man and help you get over it. Understanding is the height of compassion, after all."

It should be clear from the look on his face that he is teasing Kili terribly.

Kili stares up at Cuthbert from his bare four-foot-eight as pun after pun comes rolling in and he squares his shoulders when he realizes they aren't going to stop after just two. He may like joking, but dwarves are a proud race.

"I'm tall for a dwarf!" he complains as soon as he can get a word in, genuine anger snaking across his expression.
