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.

Pruna followed her, shooting anything that got too near. She watched as Sandy went to stand in the ring. "So that do be recharging the gun?"

Sandy stepped into the ring and her vest lit up again, her gun as well making a pinging sound.

"I guess so I...ACK!" Some other players came around the corner and Sandy stumbled backwards opening fire on them.

Pruna jumped forward a bit so she could shoot at them and give Sandy enough time to get her balance. She hit two of them and grinned as she heard them curse and turn back towards the recharging station.

Her grin grew, "Let's be hiding here." It was the perfect place for an ambush.
justoutrunyou: (Stone faced smile)

Good place to wrap it up?

Ah yes, ambush. Sandy and Pruna's favorite method of attack. Sandy's own grin shown bright in the darklit maze.

"Perfect!"

Once the girls had worked out the kinks in their tactics they would prove a force to be reckoned with in the game, even taking high scores once or twice.

So far as crowning ceremonies went, this was one of the best.
knifewithnoname: (smiles)

Yup!

Pruna grinned and began planning in her head, looking for vantage points. She agreed this was the best crowning ceremony ever!
