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 suppose we could, but good is often a matter of point of view. You really think bad people wake up in the morning thinking they will do bad things? They are usually so convinced that they are right that they cannot see the wrongs around them."

That was quite far off the topic, but somehow still seemed to fit in here.

"No," Ian said slowly, as he thought about the idea. "I suppose that's true. But at some point it has to sink in, even if it's as they're being ousted from their dictatorship."

"I somehow doubt it ever will..."

But before he can get in trouble with peacekeepers. "I suppose we should just fight side by side on the side of good."

"Sounds good to me," he replied, grinning. "Shall we?" He motioned towards the laser tag entrance.
