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-- I don't like to repeat myself, Kevin," Cecil said, and there was a definite quaver in his voice now - though it had less to do with fear at this point than with the growing strain in his arm. It felt like it was being pulled out of its socket. "But I feel I must reiterate-- for the purpose of this performance review--"
He took a deep breath, pushing the pain away, that it might be more fully replaced with all the force of his righteous indignation. He had a leg to stand on, here! ...Perhaps not literally, at this exact moment, but his complaint was valid! Was more than valid!
Cecil looked Kevin in the... void, and declared, in ringing tones (only a little hoarse at the edges), "--That you ate Carlos!"
no subject
There was not an ounce of remorse in his voice, nor was there a hint of anything that suggested that he knew anything about what he was saying was wrong. "I was hungry, and my job in these Games is to kill. Tell me, Cecil...."
No quaver mirrored the one in Cecil's tone. No shake, no concern. Unflinching. Smiling.
"Would you rather me have left his body there, rotting and being generally unproductive?"
no subject
"They weren't going to leave his body there!" he snapped. "That's what those-- those collection ship things are for!" There was probably a technical term, but he didn't want to break his flow to call it to mind. "Tributes don't rot in the Arena!" ...Well-- except that one Arena, but-- he felt there was enough of a trend present to qualify this statement.
He was warming up to his new role as Kevin's pseudo-supervisor (...pseu-pervisor?) now - this was rapidly turning from a desperate ploy to avoid being cannibalized to a genuine performance review. "You would know that, Kevin, if you had paid any attention whatsoever to your debriefing!"
no subject
Kevin took his due diligence very seriously.
"Oh, I know the bodies are collected," he chirped, his hand tightening a little bit around Cecil's arm. "Of course - I made sure to pay attention at the meetings. But Cecil...what would have happened to the corpse after if I had left it there? What purpose would it have served? Would it have been buried? Burned?"
A little chuckle.
"I don't know about you - but that sounds like what we would call waste where I come from."
no subject
There were, so far as he could see, two ways down from here: He could beg Kevin to let him go (perish the thought), or he could get him to concede the argument. Of the two, he knew which outcome he preferred.
"That's funny," Cecil snarled. "Because where I come from--" The Capitol, this place, here, but he didn't think he needed to specify that in this case-- "--We call that basic human decency!"
no subject
Of course, they couldn't do much to engineer his patience. They could condition it, enforce it, but even he had his slip-ups now and again...and this? Trying his patience. It might have seemed as if he was being terrible, but the truth was that he had no idea why Cecil was having such trouble with the concepts he was presenting. How...close-minded.
"Basic human decency? Letting the bodies of your hometown heroes and loved ones decay away into nothing? Wow, what different standards your culture has from mine! That would be the ultimate form of disrespect back in Desert Bluffs - I know if I were killed, I would prefer something useful to be done with my body. I'm actually still a little put out that no one used my corpse from the last arena for anything."
A beat. Now he had talked himself out of being irritated over Cecil and into being irritated over something else.
"I mean, I have good strong bones. Could have been weapons! I mean, with these teeth, it seems like kind of a no-brainer, right? Plenty of good meat here, too."
