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.

Karkat's ears feel hot. "Shut up," he hisses, dragging his frond down his face in embarrassment. Why the fuck does Kankri have to do this shit to him?

"Just-- go fuck yourself, Kankri."

He adds, under his breath, "You probably need it."

That brings a flush to Kankri's cheeks, but he just narrows his eyes. Karkat's the one backing down this time and Kankri intends to push that, if only to let loose some of the utter frustration he feels.

"No clever retort to that?" he sneers. "You know I'm right, so you retreat into base insult in hopes of getting a rise so you can feel like you have 'scored' something on me. How very like you, Karkat. Rude and callous and low as ever. You always have to take the low road, don't you? You just have to live out every awful thing they say of warmbloods, and who cares about anything else! Or do you just want to rile me up again, in hopes that maybe you can feel wanted? Well, allow me to spell it out for you. You have taken an ill-advised surge of hormones as some declaration of deep intent, as if I am pursuing you, but the fact is that you simply aren't worth my time, and I am sick and tired of you behaving as though you are beyond reproach simply because you play the loyal barkbeast! I am tired of your harassment, as if you were trying to get me to come after you. Well, it hasn't worked and it won't. The only effect it's had is to make sure that you thoroughly disgust me."

He grabs Karkat by the front of his shirt, but doesn't lean in, just stares at him with intense loathing and hisses, "So if you can't be bothered to comport yourself respectably in polite society, then get out of my air, you miserable, mewling grub."

He shoves Karkat back again and stomps away.

Karkat wants to scream at Kankri, but he's all too fucking aware of how many people are taking their communication devices out of their pockets, of how very likely it is that footage of this stupid altercation is already on the Capitol internet, so instead he just bares his fangs at the crowd and snarls, "What are you assholes looking at?"
