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?

"I'm awful," she said, grinning. "In my world, I'm sort of the ugly side of the good guy no one wants to see. You know, that one guy that doesn't play by the rules, that kills and maims and doesn't blink an eye. The thing about it is? You always sort of need someone like that to be the other evil so you pick the better good guy. No one likes to admit they need a killer even if they ARE on your side."

She was, in a nutshell, ahead of her age. That brought along its own set of problems.

Mindy stopped and looked at Stephen, and there was no doubting what look was on her face now: amusement. It could have been mocking, or bitter, it was hard to tell.

"How many fights do you take part in until you win?" It sounded simple enough, but as Mindy had already had TWO fights after the Arena, she had her own point of view there.

"Well, one was in the training room, and they just LET that one go. It was a mentor versus mentor thing, and so long as you don't break any bones, they weren't going to interfere. But the bar fight, well, they just tased my opponent. It's not like I asked for those-well, ONE of those fights!"

"Hey, those were all circumstantial! One of them is because I have an ongoing feud, the other is because, well, someone just wanted to pick a fight. I swear, you can take me out in public! Probably!"

"Right," she said, and meant it. Those other situations couldn't be helped. It's not like she went out of her way to get into these fights!

She just wanted to make sure she finished them.

"Same here. Thanks again for letting us use your place."
