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.

Of course it had been a lie. Harley was always picking people apart psychologically. And Mindy being so willing to share was like a tasty treat to her.

With a nod she tapped her head thoughtfully. "Ah but you said "In their right mind. And you and I both know I haven't been in my right mind for a long time." She grinned cheekily.

"Well if have to cheat and say THAT," Mindy rolled her eyes, grinning. "And here's another tidbit: half of what I'm saying is bullshit. I still don't think I should have fans, but come on, 'staying afloat?' I'm not the type to just do that."

"Uh huh, you just keep telling yourself that." Harley teased with a snicker. "It doesn't matter what you say, all that matters is how it looks after the video is edits for the public."

Which in all honesty was one of her least favorite parts of the games. No one asked for her help on the editing so they could cut out all her best moments and she wouldn't be able to stop them.

Mindy frowned but said nothing. "In that case, they could make me look pretty fucked up."

That would definitely explain the change of the kinds of fans she had.

She nodded knowingly and tapping her nose to indicate Mindy was spot on in her conclusion.

"Exactamundo! They control the narrative. History and reality is written by the winners they say. And no matter who lives or dies in the arena, one guess who always wins with these games."

Mindy made a face. Never us, that's for damn sure. We're just little chess pieces moving around-shit, no, maybe checkers even. So long as we keep people entertained, they'll need us."

She made a noise of discontentment. "Hope we can rewrite this fucker one day."
