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.

Guy held his hand up, which was wrapped in bloody napkins. "Venus helped me make it stop."

Now that he was a little calmer he felt awkward.

"Well, that was nice and dramatic, huh?"

"A little. But I don't blame you. I'm not exactly thrilled either."

He ran his thumb over the place on his finger where the Disciple had bit him just a little earlier. No one he knew was taking this well. And why should they? It wasn't right and it wasn't fair.

"Weird question but is there any chance, ah, that maybe you could just hug me for a while?" he asked.

He took in a few deep breaths and let them out.

"It's - it's not like back home where people hug each other all the time. People have all this distance between them and don't hug as much or touch each other as much - or sleep in piles. And it's actually really hard? Especially times like this? They don't - I can't just go up and, you know, start grooming someone. They'd probably think I was crazy."

He looked sidelong at him, his expression rueful and a little sheepish.

"But you never seem to mind."

In fact, Signless often initiated.

Right now he was all squeezed in close, letting Guy rest his head on his shoulder but when he said hugs what he basically meant was he pretty much wanted to half-crawl into his lap, lay his head on his leg, and get cuddled. That was a proper hug.
