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.

"Oh. Oh."

That's not judgment. You can get away with being homophobic in Hollywood, but it seems like an awful lot of effort, not to mention hypocritical when you're a damn mutant. That's just the "oh" of being the last one to get the memo.

She can't say 'I'm glad she's here' without being patronizing and, well, wrong. It's not really a great thing for people to come to this place and be put in the Games. Not everyone's her.

"I'm so glad you guys get to see each other. For sure, bring her! It'll be like a double-date."

"Yeah. A double date." That wouldn't be awkward at all. She can't decide if she wants Riley and Venus to never meet, or if she wants to make sure that she's there in order to keep things from going south.

"You'll like her. I hope."

"Any friend of yours is a friend of mine." Well. Mostly. She thinks of Joel and has to swallow that hard. "Or, at least, a good shot to be a friend of mine."

She heads back towards the crowd. "Take care of my necklace, kiddo!"

"I will!" Ellie calls after her, gripping it tightly as she watched Venus disappear into the crowd.
