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.

Sigma chuckles. "Well, I suppose you have a point. They could do a lot worse." The Doctor takes her hand and shakes it firmly.

"I am sure it is no comfort, but welcome nonetheless, Miss Zoe. I have found myself stuck here for some time - if there is anything you need to know, do not hesitate to ask." He truly must have been tipsy if he was extending his help to others without any apprehension.

"Thanks! Everyone's been pretty friendly so far, even if we are going to have to kill one another."

That's not really that funny, but you laugh so you don't cry.

"I really appreciate the welcome."

Sigma nodded, glad to have made the acquaintance of a decent Tribute. "Well, this party may help you discover which of us will not kill you," he suggested. "It is not uncommon for Tributes to strike alliances at Crownings. Perhaps you could do the same?" He cleared his throat. "At any rate, you are most welcome."
observationalhazard: (ah so)

"I hadn't thought that far ahead, honestly," Hanji laughed sheepishly and shrugged, "I just arrived, so it's not like I'm that prepared for this sort of thing, you know?"

The whole gladiatorial arena thing is new. Even if the fighting and dying isn't.

"But I'l consider it - maybe it'll be useful to find a few good people."

"The respite before the Arena comes to a hasty end," Sigma cautioned. "It is never too early to begin to plan. However, I understand that you are new. The best of luck to you... Perhaps we shall meet again?"
observationalhazard: (oh hey)

"I hope we do!" Hanji was all smiles, "Hopefully when we're not at each other's throats, though. Best of luck to you-"

She offered her hand. Might as well make nice.
futilecycle: (You know it's true:)

"We do not have to be," he smiles sadly. He took her hand and shook it gratefully. "Take care, now."
