The Crowning Of Clara Murphy
Who| Everyone.
What| The Crowning of Clara Murphy
Where| A refurbished former-medical building within Capitol.
When| Starting from late afternoon, going into the evening and late night.
Warnings/Notes| Don't forget, peacekeepers are on high alert and will notice any rebellious activity or odd behaviour.
The theme of the ceremony is corruption and dystopia, with a distinct nod to futuristic aspects and, of course, robots. The room is stark, clean, and foreboding, all done in metallics, crisp whites, and the occasional bit of robotics set up as art. It speaks as an unholy cross between a medical office, a military base, and an extremely well kept prison.
The ceremony is both a chance for Capitolites to have fun and be grateful for the grand and glorious Panem which in no way exemplifies any attributes of dystopia, while also working as a not so subtle reminder to the troublemakers out there of what can happen when things get out of line. Which they surely won't, with all the peacekeepers around.
Tributes are dressed in all manner of thing incorporating chains, rope, caution tape, muzzles, bars and cages, prison stripes, and uniform orange-- all things reminiscent of imprisonment and restriction. Some tributes may be made to look scuffed up, like cartoon-ish depictions of hardened thugs. There are a few references to robotics, and that of evil and corrupt military men and police officers, but all tributes will be marked by some manner of cuff or chain that clearly denotes them as “criminals”.
They’ll also be given a “prison number” that is actually indicative of their district association and an arbitrary letter next to it, for example, someone from district six will have 06 and the first letter of their name. It will be temporarily tattooed somewhere visible on their skin. It can be washed off but it will take more scrubbing than would be done in a single day, let alone a crowning.
The only exceptions to these rules, are those who have been brought to the winner’s table; all those who can be deemed as cyborgs, scientists, and of course, the victor herself. Her throne sits at the head of the table, a robotic contraption that appears almost as though it might encase her. For a crown, Clara has been given one that seems to bear resemblance to a white picket fence, which, when made into a crown, looks far sharper than the idyllic home setting it’s meant to represent.
Avoxes are all dressed as members of the corrupt Detroit military police. The uniforms are naturally given a more sinister edge. None of them are comfortable. All of them are serving “Detriotto” staple foods.
Around the crowning, flat hologram projections of hockey games can be seen. They show the games of a team called “The Rouge Wings” and alternate that with the less spectacular showings of what appears to be a young boy’s hockey team. Commercials fill the times between promoting the work of Capitol’s peacekeepers, showing appreciation for them on an individual level, encouraging obedience in citizens with pleasant clips of peacekeepers speaking to children, and suggesting recruitment in the truly good and noble of Panem. Capitolites may nod along to these as they giggle at the sight of decorative signs, that are most certainly from Clara’s lesser world, about obeying, consuming, and so on, to a less than favourable government. A few posters feature Clara Murphy’s face in four colour palettes, all humorous jabs at dystopia proclaiming; “MOTHER MURPHY IS WATCHING YOU”.
But hockey games are not the only things that can be seen on the projection screens; if tributes take the time to look, they may see their own face projected above in profile and facing forward views like that of mug shots. Though, how the capitol has managed to get these pictures may be entirely a mystery. Besides these mugshots, criminal records are displayed, listing crimes from “lied to their parents” to petty theft to murder. Whether these records are true or not may be up for much debate.
In the mean time, there are plenty of things for party go-ers to do, such as take part in the David For A Day egg and spoon race, in which tributes will all have a chance to dress up (with wigs and matching clothing of all sizes!) as the mysterious David, compete against others, and should they win, be dubbed David For A Day, winning themselves a banner they can wear and a spot at the victor table.
There is also an obstacle course available dubbed the "Clarence Boddicker Memorial Prison Funhouse" designed to look, you guessed it, like a prison. Fun for all ages and demeanours!
For those looking for retreat, there’s a small section cut away from it all, designed to be a pleasant backyard patio setting opened to a starry night sky and small surrounding garden, in stark contrast to the rest of the place. There’s a small area for dancing in, that can really only accommodate one couple at a time, but is nevertheless perfect for a romantic scene. Only two songs play over speakers here, one perfectly fitting, the other a little more jarring. It’s also here that party go-ers can get their picture taken with a life sized ED-209. Many more much smaller ED-209’s can be seen around and within the crowning party. As well as the occasional roomba, which fans of the last arena will surely get a chuckle out of.
As the crowning nears it’s end, those at the victor’s table will be given paintball guns filled up with red paint. They will be ordered to bring the criminals to justice! The criminals being all the other tributes. Those hit with paint will be made to wait within the Memorial Prison Funhouse until all the criminals are apprehended and forced to do their time! No one will be allowed to go back to the tribute tower until all the criminals are caught.

no subject
He lifts her up with relative ease, abandoning the cane and carrying her bridal style towards the exit. An Avox gets an order snapped to call them a limo, and to make sure there's a hot drink waiting for Molotov inside it. And at the curb, he sets her on her feet, although he still shares his jacket with her and has her warm in his embrace.
no subject
"You're too good to me."
no subject
The Avox he bossed around returns with a hot cider for Molotov, and a cost, but no limo. She makes an apologetic shrug at them both and gives them a printed slip of paper about attendance being mandatory until the paintball game is over.
Tom's face reddens. "What do you mean, we can't leave yet?"
no subject
"What?" she says, looking at him, cheek pressed to his arm. "What's that mean, why can't we leave, my love?"
no subject
"The paper says the party doesn't end until this ridiculous game is over. As if we haven't wasted enough time here!" He spitefully tosses his empty shot glass out into the street and continues to help hold her up. It's as if he's only just now realized that they're both really captives. Anger makes his face blotchy, makes his mouth look like it has too many teeth.
no subject
"Calm down, baby," she murmurs, glaring at the Avox for daring to anger her Tom this way. "Don't be angry, we'll just... we'll just wait." She drops her voice a whisper, nuzzles at his ear. "Don't let them see you this way, don't give them anything negative to talk about."

Finally he sighs, letting the urge to hit something go and nestling his head against her shoulder. "I'll have to keep you warm a little longer, then. There could be worse things."
no subject
She lets out a breath when he speaks, turning her head to kiss his crown. "Everything is okay," she murmurs. "We're still together, that's all that matters right now. The stupid game will be over with soon enough."
no subject
Well, he often gets that impression; it's just that he's not used to having to follow rules set by a bunch of paparazzi and gossip hounds.
no subject
Molotov doesn't want to comment on her thoughts about the Gamemakers, because you never know who's listening. It's better to cover it up with meaningless sweet talk and discuss it later in the bedroom where there's at least a little privacy.
"When we get home, we'll take a bath, you'll forget the whole thing."
no subject
He rests his head on hers, rubbing her shoulder with his hand.
"At the very least I'll need a few more drinks."
They can be unhappy and shitfaced together.
no subject
"Come on," she coos, kissing the side of his neck. "We'll go find somewhere to sit in a dark corner, have some drinks, maybe some more of those fried cheese things with the jalapeños. Poppers. Those are pretty good, for this trash food they're serving. Tomorrow we can sleep in and then go for brunch."
no subject
"But yes. Let's do that, my dear."
no subject
Rubbing his knee, she nods, then rises, a bit better balanced after the cider and the time spent away from the many cocktails. "Okay, come on, darling. Let's go inside."
