Kevin's Crowning

Who | Everyone.
What | Kevin's Crowning
Where | An outdoor plaza, sectioned off and well guarded.
When | Starting at noon and continuing on until sunset.
Warnings/Notes | This event is mandatory for all Tributes and Victors to attend. Even if you do not tag in, your character will attend this party.

Playful signs began to pop-up all over the Tribute center in the days leading up to the crowning, advertising the mandatory nature of the event itself while also promising an afternoon of delightful festivities. All attendees were loaded onto buses and driven to the location of the picnic, with colorful t-shirts distributed upon their arrival (D1- Navy, D2- Red, D3- Grey, D4- Light blue, D5- Orange, D6- Yellow, D7- Forest green, D8- Royal blue, D9- Purple, D10- Black, D11- Lime green, D12- Hot pink, and White for any Capitol officials in attendance.) Likewise, all the attendees were given name tag stickers and then dispersed out into the plaza. All except guest of honor, Kevin, who was escorted onto the grounds dressed entirely in white and was given a large and ornate golden crown to wear.

Balloons of every color decorated the entire area . Along with picnic tables and benches, a large main stage was erected in the middle of the plaza with a microphone and a DJ, who played the same six songs on repeat. At it's center, Kevin was given a throne to sit on, so that he could preside over the picnic and enjoy his freshly prepared hamburger and french fries.

There were several small tents that ringed the edge of the stage area. Inside a few of them, you might face painters available, but the only design they would do was paint your face to look like Kevin. Anyone who had their face painted was also given an adorable construction paper crown to wear.

In other tents, a few carnival games had been set up for entertainment. There was a shooting range game where the faces of the targets changed to look like you whenever you stepped up to play, as well as skeeball and a rope ladder climb game. All the prizes were stuffed plush dolls reminiscent of famed former victors. All with Kevin's smile.

A bouncy castle that looked a shocking bit like the city hall building found in the last arena was free for anyone to play on. (Complete with fog machine!) And almost directly across the way from the castle, a caged-in area set up to be a ball-pit was also open for all to enjoy. Upon further inspection of the pit filled with thousands of plastic balls, one could clearly see how they had each been painted to look like giant, vacant black eyes.

The only two food options available to attendees were cupcakes and hotdogs. The cupcakes came with sprinkles. The hotdogs also came with sprinkles. The only beverage option was orange juice. And everyone must have a glass of orange juice, otherwise no one can ever leave.

At 2pm, Peacekeepers erected a volleyball net and the Tributes were instructed to play. Anyone who touched the net would get a slight electrical shock. Clearly it was a best to avoid the net.

As the volleyball game came to a close, several officials took the stage with a special announcement. Public polls would be open to all Capitol citizens the following morning to begin casting their votes. Who will be the next tributes to go into the next arena?! Over the next few days, the public will pick their favorites to enter a special bonus arena! Stay tuned for details!

Once the festivities were over and the Tributes were loaded back onto the buses, they would come to notice something new in the lobby of the Tribute Center. On the ceiling above them was a massive crystal chandelier, seven feet across. And it was no ordinary chandelier. It was customized beautifully, in the shape of Kevin's jagged and ever-present smile.

Beneath it, a spread of fine wine and cheeses. A man in a cream yellow suit with cream yellow hair sat at a grand piano in the corner, playing calm and pleasant melodies that might seem almost familiar to some and yet unrecognizable to anyone. Escorts seem to be in no hurry to get tributes back to their towers, and the wine continues to flow late into the night for anyone who lingers around to drink it.

Until next time, tributes. Until next time.

Mentally he sighs and then raises his hand so it's over her head as he puts the other in his pocket.

"Look here." He instructs, before continuing. "Builds, creates and patents technology as well as taking over the market when it comes to clean sustainable and inexpensive energy."

"Why am I doing this?" Clementine gives him a sceptical look, wondering if he's going to pull a trick on her before looking upwards. If he tries anything she thinks she'll put the rest of the cupcake in his face. Or as high as she can reach anyway.

"That sounds complicated." it's really the best judgement she can give, having absolutely no knowledge in that area.
arrogantalloy: (A: 064 Interesting)

As she asks, Tony pulls out the hanky in his pocket then wipes her nose, removing the frosting, putting the hanky back in his pocket and dropping his other hand.

"I don't know, why are you doing that?" He pauses before moving on "Tricky, not complicated. Also a lot of fun... When things aren't exploding."
smarterthanthem: (seriously?)

[personal profile] smarterthanthem 2014-08-19 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that was unexpected and Clementine lets out a squeak that she'll deny always at the hanky swabbing over her nose. "Hey!" she reaches and rubs it, "You could have just said."

Not that she's really upset, it's mostly her dignity that had been slighted. "You explode things?"
arrogantalloy: (A: 067 Welp)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2014-08-20 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
Tony doesn't want to want to find the squeak kind of adorable, but he does and it bothers his practised act of apathy.

"Sure I could have. But that was easier."

He gives her a grin to show that he didn't mean anything by it, past it being there was bothering him.


"Well, it's not always on purpose. But yeah, things explode."

"Was it really?" she snorts out of amusement, smiling back. You get away with it this time, Tony.


"I've never seen anything explode before."
arrogantalloy: (A: 083 not impressed)

"It got the mess off, didn't it?" He just smirks at her because it's true after all.

"I've seen and been a part of more explosions that most movie stunt teams."

He says in the most casual of tones.
smarterthanthem: (Sure you did)

[personal profile] smarterthanthem 2014-08-26 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are they as cool up close as they look on tv?" It's an important question, a very important one.
arrogantalloy: (A: 014 Okay you're going to bring that u)

"They're cooler when they leave your eyebrows intact. But, I guess, yeah some of them are pretty cool."

Tony had to admit, as much as he didn't enjoy being in the middle of explosions, explosions themselves tended to be on the cool side of things.
smarterthanthem: (Conversation)

[personal profile] smarterthanthem 2014-08-30 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe one day I can see one for real then." her eyes flicker up to his eyebrows and the picture of him without them is pretty funny, especially coupled with his midriff baring shirt.

Clementine finishes her last bite of cupcake and throws the wrapper into a plant pot. "It's been nice meeting you, uh..." it then occurs to her they've gone this whole conversation without introducing themselves. "Sorry, I forgot to ask your name."
arrogantalloy: (A: 018 Look at me enter)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2014-08-30 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well considering where we are. I wouldn't be too shocked if you do." He says with a bored shrug, to be honest he's surprised she hasn't seen one yet.

"Tony. Tony's fine." He replies as he picks off a sprinkle from his trousers distractedly.
smarterthanthem: (Dusk)

[personal profile] smarterthanthem 2014-08-31 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Seeing them here... she's not sure she'd like that, considering what the target of any explosion would probably be.

"I'm Clementine." she tells him with a friendly smile and turns to go, "Good night."
arrogantalloy: (A: 016 GRINS)

[personal profile] arrogantalloy 2014-09-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Tony nods at her when she starts to go and offers him a good night.

"Look after yourself, kid."

He gives her a little grin.
