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 this was inching towards another argument about having friends and allies in the arena so Sandy really should know better.
no subject
And that would just be unbearable.
no subject
"Who's that?"
no subject
no subject
Because Mindy she could forgive with time, but a woman like that sounded unbearable to a girl who grew up on off brand cereal and ramen noodles. Why would anyone like someone like that?
no subject
It sounded light enough, but there was a little menace there. Mindy traded barbs with people all the time but so far the Capitol was the only thing that earned her contempt. No single person had yet, save for Aunamee.
no subject
"For how many deaths there are...it doesn't seem like most of the tributes here are like...enjoying it. There's that blond girl from your district, there's Aunamee, and then of course Troll face likes the fighting but not being manipulated..."
no subject
"Don't mention Aunamee." Mindy said this rather darkly, with no indication she was being casual at all about it. "Harley is just crazy, she thinks everything is fun. Who the hell is Troll face?"
no subject
"Troll Face, the uh...I dunno his full name but he talks all flowery, he's really tall and has face paint." She tried to mimic The Initiates sharp toothed wide eyed expressions and even made claw shapes with her hands.
"He's always "Mutherfucking this and mutherfucking that" and he nicknamed me Sister of Sand, which I thought was pretty boss."
no subject
"He sounds pretty funny, actually. Maybe I should look him up. We have a few of those troll people. One of them cut my ass when I was going for a weapon."
no subject
Then again Trolls weren't always the most logical creatures.
no subject
no subject
"I dunno if all trolls are like The Grand High Trollface over there." She spotted him in Joker makeup and a suit and pointed. He and Harley were currently throwing bottles at people flying through the air on the ziplines.
"But he's got powers when they let him. Brain powers. I don't think you can fight em."
no subject
"Sure you can. Just gotta jam his frequency, probably. Something like that probably takes a lot of concentration."
no subject
"At least he's on my side...as far as I can tell. Maybe...probably."
no subject
She shrugged. "That's what I would do anyway."
no subject
"I hope it never comes down to that. He already put me through my nightmares. I get enough of those when I'm asleep."
And the Initiate had forced her to embrace those nightmares to some small degree.
no subject
no subject
"I'm not brave. He just didn't give me a chance to run."
And when forced to face her fears once again the only option had been to make like a stone in a streama nd let it wash over her.
no subject
"Mindy fuckery is nothing to take lightly. If he was over you, you should have been over. You lasted. Don't disregard small triumphs. They belong to you, and show that you're someone to take seriously."
no subject
Mindy was right of course, if The Initiate had wanted Sandy dead she would have been.
But what Mindy didn't know was Sandy hadn't survived out of her own will power. Sandy had survived because The Initiate only meant to put on a show for the cameras. In reality he was only there to deliver a message to Sandy. To share information that Sandy was to keep close to her chest.
For a moment she considered telling Mindy the truth. But her mind flashed back to the feel of Mindy's grip, the knife near her throat and the look of fear and fury on Pruna's face.
No...she couldn't tell Mindy yet.
"I just hope I don't have to prove it again."
no subject
A part of her wished that she WAS back in the games, to test herself again. Even now, though, she could see the girl was holding back, that there was an impassable rift.
One, she knew, that she was responsible for. No amount of sorrow would change that.
She exchanged a look with sandy that told her just that.
no subject
"I'm gonna go check on Pruna. She went to try the zip line and if that crazy girl hit her with something she's probably gonna try and rip her eyes out." She offered Mindy a wave before attempting her retreat.
There wasn't enough alcohol in this party to help her stomach stop twisting under Mindy's gaze.
no subject
"All right. See you later."
So much for saying things without words?
