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.

"I have never been so thankful that I already have my own superhero uniform."

Danny, of course, had been stuffed into a facsimile of his hazmat suit and had his hair forcibly dyed white.

"You're the one who was doing the jokes earlier, right? I'm Danny."

"Yep. I'm Guy. Hi."

He grinned at him.

"I don't have my own superhero uniform and that is probably because I have no idea what a superhero is."

He looked down at himself.

"And yet this still isn't the worst thing they've put me in. I at least like the bonking stick."

"It's basically a someone who fights crime or giant monsters in a silly costume. Usually with powers, a ridiculous amount of training, and/or technology." Danny explained.

"I had the powers and the tech. Training...not so much."

"And crime is...that's when there are laws and people don't follow them, right? When they do bad things? So superheroes fight the people who are breaking the rules?"

He couldn't even imagine that many people existing to even make it necessary.
halfa_hero: (Um?)

"Most of 'em do, yeah. I, personally, don't. I sort of have different fish to fry."

He paused here, because he was well aware some people might consider the idea of ghosts crazy. "Okay, bear with me, because I'm gonna bring up something that I'm not sure you know about, or if you do you're gonna think I'm insane. Where you're from, do people tell stories about other people coming back from the dead?

"Yeah, like as a scary thing that doesn't actually happen. There's stories about spirits, though."

He added, "I tend not to believe in that stuff because I try to believe in the things I can see but if I saw it, I'd believe it."
halfa_hero: (Tada!)

"Tadaa!" Danny said, waving his arms out.

"...the effect's kind of ruined by me not actually being one at the moment, isn't it? In my world? They're a real thing. I fight the ones that come back, y'know, angry and vengeful. Sorta ended up in an accident that gave me ghost powers without needing to die. Well, not die the whole way, anyways."

"First of all, I am tickled that people other than me actually say 'ta da.' I basically invented that to say after good things happen because that is sometimes a rare enough thing I thought an impromptu celebration was in order."

Apparently it was the kind of thing that was going to catch on.

"Second of all, you're a spirit? You're not the first I've met here."

As ever, he was curious.

Danny shook his head. "More like half of a spirit, really. Some of the ghosts actually call me a halfa. It's sort of like I'm stuck between being alive, and being dead, but it's not as morbid as that sounds."

"Kiiinda morbid, yeah," Guy said, pulling a face slightly. "But it sounds more like you're between being alive and being a spirit anyway."

A pause.

"I don't see how that's half a thing, though. That means you're a whole thing mixed up from different things."
