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.

Her threats were a little uncomfortable, but Stephen was too confident in the Capitol's security to be truly intimidated. It was refreshing, in a way, to have someone be so blunt. Brave Johanna, who let no one tell her what to do. It was admirable, Stephen thought.

"Mmm, before we have superpowers, I assume," he said, mouth twisting in a half-smile. "I wouldn't like the idea either, if I were used to being the strongest person in the room."

Johanna simply glared at Stephen. Was he hinting that she would lose a battle?

"I could take all of you, even with the super-powers." He better not doubt that she could. She was somewhat mollified by his admission that she was the strongest person in the room - not necessarily true, since Peeta was bound to be here, following that damned Katniss like the puppy he was. But she was admittedly, perhaps the most vicious.

"It might be a fair fight at least. Where's the fun if it's too easy?"

Stephen laughed a sparkling laugh, delighted by her verve and confidence, and took another slow pull from his drink. So long as he didn't take anything she said too seriously, Johanna was a joy to talk to.

"Ah, a fair fight," he said pensively, turning the drink in his hand to gaze at it. "So often they aren't. If a fair fight is really something you would welcome, Johanna Mason, then you are unique indeed." Stephen's tone was light, but there was something about it that was masked, difficult to read. It was not clear what Stephen's personal thoughts on fair fights were.
