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.

It called for a drink. Hell, two drinks— this white wine was very pretty, but it wasn't anything like strong enough.
"I want to win, sure. But that's mostly because I like winning. Everybody likes winning," that last muttered into her glass, glancing out among the crowds in a reflexive scan for danger, the assassin gunman who wouldn't come. Her eye caught on Mindy, resplendent in purple, and her drawl turned from dry to sarcastic, "I mean, aren't you just so damn glad you won? Isn't life just so much... fancier, nowadays?"
Shepard is a betting woman, when the opportunity arises, and she'd have put good credits against bad to bet that Johanna didn't much enjoy her life as a Victor.

She sipped her drink: Johanna didn't drink too much, but she had always found it prudent to at least pretend to be a bit tipsy for the Capitolites. It gave her much more scope to speak her mind and not get in trouble for it; they were more willing to indulge her because she's drunk.
Fools.
Johanna grins her first genuine smile of the evening at Shepard's comments though. She does appreciate the sarcasm.
"I adore glitter. And parties. And these lovely, KIND idiots." Johanna shook her head. "Gimme a log cabin and a forest any day. I'm already sick of all this simpering. I wish I could punch everybody who tips their head to the side and speaks to me as if I was five."
no subject
Making a show of sussing out the tactical flaws in the incumbent military structure was one kind of mistake, but gesturing vaguely at the obvious was another thing entirely. Particularly when the two of them were still subject to it.
Shepard's her own brand of bitter and broken, but she's learned to use it.
"I'll keep you in mind, next gift holiday. Ten pounds of glitter to District Seven. Gratis."
