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.

"You know, it almost sounds like you want to use me for something." She was teasing, of course. She could see exactly what Hawkeye had in mind and, when it came down to it? She agreed. After all, people got injured all the time, and she honestly wouldn't have made it with her win if she hadn't had his help. Mindy didn't forget things like that. The problem, of course, really came down to convincing people it was better to be charitable than bloodthirsty. Mindy, on a given day, could be either.

Mostly it depended on the situation.

"It won't be easy. They like their meat freshly killed, to turn a phrase. You know how they are. To convince them to grant a reprieve will be tough. I'll have to get all the reasons, in THEIR favor, why we should do it. Think you can offer me some?"
