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.

"So you're gonna take your anger out on innocent people?" Johanna understood anger. She lived and breathed anger. But she had learned to channel her rage against the people who were in charge , who had done this to her. And never, never had she taken it out against the innocent. Never had she killed anyone outside the arena.

Except her parents.

"Get out of my sight." Johanna barked. "Count yourself lucky that I don't have a weapon, kid."

Justin is not intimidated. Not for one second has Johanna been more than just a blustering, angry, member of this weak world. He looks down at her, smirking.

"Am I supposed to be afraid of you?"
nooneleft: (can't believe you said that)

She gets right up into his face, snarling.

"Yes. You are."
deafscythe: (My my I just can't lie.)

He remains impassive, doesn't so much as lean back from her. Justin's expression is hovering on the amused edge of mocking.

"Perhaps you should try harder."
