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.

"Yeah, now I'm picturing that. Pleated skirts suit you." He says tapping his temple to give extra emphasis that Tony's imagining Sam as a cheerleader.
no subject
Sam's joking, but, well, only kind of. It might actually be a possibility, after what he's wearing tonight.
no subject
He takes a moment to be quiet, as he looks around the room at everyone here all in various states of 'dress' and comfort while interacting with each other.
"So, how are you finding our wings here settling in or not liking your nest so much?"
no subject
He settles into the quiet as well, though he's watching Tony instead of the room. There's a smirk and an eyebrow raise at that phrasing - hilarious, man - but he gives a one-shouldered shrug.
"I can't complain." Because, well, really, he can't. Or at least, he won't, not right now. "Sure, I had important shit to do back home, but what's that compared to the honor of competing in the Games?"
...all right, maybe he can complain a little, via a nice dose of sarcasm.
no subject
Apart from boxing lessons from Happy, Tony really wasn't much for exercise, his ability to at least look fit came from working on cars, robots and other engineering designs that need realisation, a lot of nocturnal activities, and infrequent eating. With the addition of being a superhero and doing all that work with and in his suits, it tends to form a lot of muscle.
He points at Sam as he sarcasms everywhere, looking at least mockingly serious.
"An honor not all of us get to keep either. So really, we're almost blessed really. Almost makes a guy emotional." And here returns Tony's blandly bored face at the rest of his statement. Because really he knew it was all a crock.
no subject
It's a habit he'd never gotten out of, even after he wasn't pararescue anymore. After the hell he'd gone through training to be fit enough to handle everything PJs had to do, not to mention what it'd took to use his wings, he was too damn stubborn to do anything else.
"Blessed, that's the word I was looking for. Took it right out of my mouth." He shakes his head a little, because yeah, he knows it's all a crock, too. "If you're going to get all emotional on me, though, give me some warning so I can get prepared."
no subject
After all, he still will wheat grass it up every now and then. He smirks at Sam asking for a warning about Tony being emotional from all this, knowing how seriously he was
n'ttaking it."Lucky for you. This is as about as emotional as I ever get."
no subject
He’d never thought it had any more healthy properties than just eating your vegetables, but hell.
There’s a soft snort. “Oh good, now I know what it looks like.”
no subject
Tony offers up a half grin and a mock helpless spread of the hands.
"It's always good to be prepared, I hear."
no subject
He’s guessing so, considering Stark’s still standing here, but considering the Capitol apparently has ways to bring them back from the dead, that’s not exactly a guarantee.
“I feel like I should make an obligatory boy scout joke about always being prepared here, but at the same time, I think that’d be way too easy.”
no subject
"I technically rediscovered then managed to fabricate a new element to do it. But yeah." His tone suggests it isn't too big of a deal he did that. "The name for it is still annoyingly up for debate. But that was before the Battle of New York, so me and my little case of poisoning are fine." He smirks to show how not that big of a deal he finds it. He knows it is, but it just isn't to him.
"Well yeah, you could. But I've already used them all on our USO boy. And it gets a better reaction out of him." Mostly because Tony enjoys exasperating Steve.
no subject
He doesn’t comment on the Battle of New York thing. It’d been all of the news, everyone knows about it, and stopping their conversation here to tell Stark that Sam really admired what he did feels somehow cheap. So instead, he pauses to consider that last comment, trying to figure out if he knows when the Boy Scouts first started being around - and then quickly gives up, because no, of course he doesn’t.
“I’ll take your word for it, since you’ve used them all up,” he teases.
no subject
Of course he chooses to leave out the fact that he didn't even find this information out until a few years ago.
"Because I want it named Badassium, not Starktanium or something else that sounds strange when you connect it to my name."
Really Tony knows that it's going to be hard to get the name he wants approved, but that's half the reason he picked it.
no subject
“Oh, man, just give the word and I’ll do what I can to help make that a reality. I’ll stand outside the committee and petition.”
no subject
"Fury was the one processing it, so I don't know how well that's going to go now with his lack of pulse, so really I could use all the petitions I can get seeing as most authoritative bodies have a problem with me for some reason."
Sure the tone suggests he doesn't know why they don't. But he is pretty sure everyone knows he's an uncompromising demanding pain in the ass when he wants his way. The thing that gets him is the fact they know this but still make more work for themselves by fighting him on it.
People, Tony really doesn't get them.
