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.

"Look," he sighed. "I don't hate them or anything, but the reality is we're here because of them. Whatever happened in the past put us here now."
confidentially: (where'd it all go wrong?)

"You're here because the folks in charge of this place have gone off the deep end," she corrected, hissing out the words, just in case someone was listening in. "Those kids were given a chance to save their lives and they took it. Don't you dare blame them for what's happened to you."

"Ah, so sacrificing a few strangers is okay because, hey, they already went through the horror, now it's someone else's turn." His voice stayed pleasant even though there was a lot of resentment at everyone, including the Districts. "Next time they decide to have a little hoo-rah they need to make sure to finish it, unless they're into bringing outsiders into their mess."
confidentially: (don't need no key i'm unlocked)

"If you're so gung-ho to spare yourself, you'd better figure a way out of this, honey. The people in the Districts don't exactly see the downside to saving their own children from the bloodshed, you know." Her expression went cold as she slinked around him in a wide circle. "But you'll learn your place, eventually. And if you don't... Well, at least it's not my neck on the line when they come down on you."
amoral_savior: (He could not brace up his tension)

"Believe me, I'm already figuring that out." Because like Hell he was going to be stuck in that place forever. "My place? Aren't we high and mighty because we managed to off some kid with school supplies." He wasn't going to mention her other survival strategy. "People do what they need to to survive and if that means tossing the generous people of the Districts under the proverbial bus, then so be it."
confidentially: (you were hanging in the corner)

"I've earned my place, pumpkin. Like you said, I did what I needed to to survive. And I'd toss any of you Tributes under the bus if that meant the people in my district would live another day. That's what you don't seem to get. Your life belongs to your district. You're property of Panem now. Get used to it."

She narrowed her eyes at him. "Good luck next arena. You're going to need it."

And with that, she sauntered away.
