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 told you," he said, smirking as if she were silly, "He doesn't care. Not even here to care, honestly."

"You said you fought for free will, though. If not God, who did you fight?"

The idea that God was not present didn't phase her a bit.
casaerotica13: (hellz yeah)

"You can't fight God." That's what happened to Luci, after all. "No, no. Dad told us that Michael and Lucifer had to fight to the death. If Lucifer won, it would be Hell on Earth and everyone dies. If Michael won, almost everyone would die and those that were left would be completely without corruption or faults. Naturally, he said that Michael was to be the winner, so they all started getting ready to tear each other's necks out with their teeth and so on."

He shrugged, once again, like it was no big deal. "I fought Lucifer and Michael. Couple of stuck up, whine bags. Didn't get the chance to raise my hand against Daddy's favorite, but I did against the massive disappointment of the family... And now I'm here. Considering that I told two knuckle heads how to throw his ass back into Hell and lock the door behind him, I'd like to think I helped."

"So...you fought to stop Armageddon. Why? Because you like humans? Or because you don't like your brothers?"

She wasn't beginning to completely believe all this, necessarily. But even if it weren't true, he certainly believed it, and she was getting more and more interested in the story.

Or so she told herself.
casaerotica13: (sorry)

"I love my brothers," he answered sincerely, face falling from his usual jovial state. "I left Heaven, because I couldn't stand the fighting. It wasn't the self-interest of getting away. I couldn't stop it, so I chose not to see it. I fought for humanity and my brothers. Excuse me if I didn't want anyone to die."

Gabriel reined himself back in from that little sliver of emotion that passed through. Things were just hard to hold up here.

Joan's own expression softened. She realized that she had been too flippant, and squeezed his hand lightly in apology.

"It's strange to think that families of angels aren't all that different from families of humans."
casaerotica13: (youre so cute)

He gave a dry laugh in return, choosing to ignore the silent apology and just let it go. "We're not different," he answered, "If anything we're worse. All high and mighty and crap." Gabriel shrugged. What more was there to say?
