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.

"Maybe it should," Nepeta answers, and she knows that it might well get her more attention from the humans running the Arenas, but that hasn't always stopped her. Besides, if she can't at least make mention of it, what's the point of hoping?

"Should what? Matter where you're from?" Joel just shrugs vaguely. "I don't think the people around here care much except the way you might about a zoo animal."

That too, when you get right down to it, but Nepeta has always been less than happy with situations like the ones here and back at home, before she and her friends had been the only trolls still left alive.

"Not the ones in charge, anyway," she agrees. "I'm not so certain about efurryone else."

"I doubt most regular folks care, either," Joel points out with a shrug. He knows he wouldn't, if the situations were reversed, except perhaps as a curiosity.

"Most folks only care about what they know. The ones close to 'em."
