we wine, we dine, and everything is fine [open!]

Who| Everyone still in the Capitol. If the Hunger Games is a significant part of your life, or if you wield any influence at all in the Capitol, you've received an invitation. Unless you're Victory Hannibal.
What| Week 1 viewing party! It's horror-movie/monster themed, so break out your best sexy witch/vampire/mummy costumes! Also, feel free to use it for sponsor schmoozing.
Where| A ballroom, and some adjacent rooms.
When| Just before the Arena begins, and into the night.
Warnings/Notes| Watch this space for warnings. Also, feel free to make closed threads amongst yourselves, but Stephen will likely at some point come up to greet you personally. If you think your Capitol character would be familiar with the Reagan family, make an OOC note, and I'll give you a quick rundown on their sordid past.


There is a fog machine.

The fog hovers around the guests' knees and ankles, doing nothing to impede visibility or movement, but it creates a ~mysterious~ atmosphere. The ballroom is modest, by Capitol standards, able to comfortably hold about a hundred people. There's plenty of space. The room is dimly lit from concealed sources that nonetheless throw the guests' shadows into frightening shapes on the wall. There are tables laden with food along one wall, and plenty of comfortable seating, for projected onto the far wall is a live feed from the Games.

Through the doors are smaller, more intimate rooms, with cushy couches and a smaller screen apiece for watching the Games a little more privately. One pair of double-doors leads out onto a balcony with a beautiful view of the city.

Everyone who received the invitation was informed of the theme, of course: no pressure, but if you want your outfit to match (and he's sure you do), make sure it's a little bit -- spooky.

Stephen himself, tastefully attired in a shimmery black suit, cape, and vampire teeth, is moving about the guests, giving friendly greetings to those he knows, making polite conversation with those he does not, ensuring that everybody (or at least, everybody possible) is having a good time. So what if his smile looks a little fixed, every once in a while? It's a party. What could possibly be wrong?

"Jessica? Is that you?" He felt like he was shouting down a long tunnel, instead of across the room. Oh, he was in trouble. "I'm not going to make it..."
confidentially: (i make them good girls go bad)

Jessica was sick too, so she ought to have a bit of sympathy for Chris' plight. Instead, she was a little annoyed by his dramatics. "What do you mean you're not gonna make it? Don't be--" Her sentence was cut off and punctuated by a cough. "... 'Scuse me. Don't be ridiculous."

"It's the opposite of ridiculous. This is it, this is the end. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm going towards it..."
confidentially: (and truth be told i'm lying)

"Wow. Dramatic much?" She inhaled sharply, sucking up the loosening snot back into her skull. "You can't die."

He screws up his face, confused. "Of course I can--die. I'm strong, Jessica, but I'm not invulnerable."
confidentially: (they're no good to me)

"We have the best doctors in the world right here in the Capitol. Nothing bad is gonna happen. It's probably just a cold." If she doesn't keep up that mantra, she might slip up and get legitimately worried for their health.
