The Crowning of Tony Stark

Who| Everyone.
What| The Crowning of Tony Stark.
Where| The New Capitol Stark Expo!
When| Friday, late afternoon into the evening.
Notes| This event is mandatory for all Tributes to attend. Even if you do not tag in, your character will attend this party.  Peacekeepers will be on high alert, so no funny business.
WARNINGS| Alcoholism / References to Alcoholism.  

The Capitol might be known for its extravagance, but Stark Expos have never skimped on a show. Combining the two together could only be a recipe for the most wild indulgences. The center theater takes styling after a arc reactor, with glass ceiling and glowing blue lights set right within the metal and putting a glow to the sky. Lightshows go off on the main stage, the stark logo overhead and a massive screen displaying the Panem flag and Tony Stark's image just behind the dancing Ironettes. A circle plattform going off from the stage, clearly reserved for the guest of honor, features a design Panem's bird in red, gold, and glowing blue.

A globe is featured in the outside gardens, showing off a map of Panem, and the park is filled with artistic statues of destroyed Iron Man amror. But there's no quiet here, not with the fireworks going off all night and the consistent playing of music that is not but sounds an awful lot like that of Daft Punk, Eifel 65, ACDC, and one other song that breaks them up.

Various shows can be found about the gardens, including display models of some of Tony Stark's old weapons and Iron Man suits. Further along guests may find the Avengers display, featuring large portraits of the Avengers and their allies, large red x's going over greyed out portraits of those deemed dead, including Phill Coulson, Natasha Romanoff, and Thor. Along with these portraits can be found the Stark family tree, featuring the Victor Tony Stark and all his relations including apparent son Dave Strider, and Arya Stark, Ancestor of the Stark family, not to mention the great Howard Stark who's accomplishments (and tragic lack of care for Anthony) are lovingly illustrated. One such accomplishment being a "flying car" just a short walk over.

There's plenty for guests to do besides just ogle the brilliant sights however! A bar has been set up with a whole variety of drinking games available from Sink The Battleship and Drink Roulette to an extravagent variation of the classic game, Beer Pong, and an ongoing run of the Games with rules of drinking for each emotional scene, funny incident, or death. Those under the age of eighteen will be served fizzing juice or soda instead and can participate in junior versions of the very same games. All the cups are made from the finest glass with Tony Stark images over them. Avoxes are on scene to clean every spill and break of glass that might come.

A cave has been crafted of artificial and real material, designed to look like the Cave in which Tony Stark became a real hero, but with a twist; it's been made into a fun-for-all maze! Guests can attempt to navigate their way to the labyrinth and reach the core, avoiding those nasty pop-out rebels along the way. Those who make it to the fire-lit center may receive a limited edition "Tony Stark Heart" miniature arc reactor in a beautiful glass case.

An indoor sky diving station is also available, large enough that many guests may enter at once and still find it spacious. Here, guests can don Iron Man themed sky-diving suits and experience the sensation of flight, just as Tony Stark once did. Of course, the party doesn't start until the Victor comes in; he'll be appearing by Capitol-controlled suit to make his entrance at center stage. It is here that his Throne shall be raised up through the stage and his crown gifted to him. Following the official Crowning Ceremony will also come a speech from the Capitol's very own, Cyrus Reagan.

Tributes are dressed in formal wear with robotic accents. Such as a full mask or metal armor. Capitolites can be seen with Tony stark styled hair, bearing tattoos in his image, and even with surgically implanted lights, in honor of the new Victor. Available for purchase are handcrafted Tony Stark dolls, Iron Man action figures, and models of beloved robot-pet "Dum-E" in both small and life-sized. The Iron Man light gloves come completely free for all guests.

The Crowning ends off with a bang, as in the center of the sky, a massive "wormhole" opens up showing a vast darkness full of sinister creatures just on the other side, sure to inspire some screams from fans. Guests near to the Iron Man suit displays are asked by peacekeepers to step back-- far back-- but may be the first to witness the incredible scene of all those suits launching into the sky and exploding around and "in" the wormhole. The wormhole shifts to a message stating the show to have been brought to you by the Hunger Game's skilled Sky-Display Designers before going into advertising for the rest of the night as the party dies down.

Speaking of armored people, Tabris glides up to Shepard, and cats that have eaten an entire aviary could not look more pleased that she was. Smirking couldn't quite capture it. "Sooo, right after I ask about armor, the Capitol provides some. Coincidence? I will let you judge--No I won't. Totally me. Who cares about this Tony." She laughs a little bit, and adjusts the armor. "This is actually the mage's armor, but it made into a dress easier. Wouldn't be much in combat, though, which is a shame. Can't fight in these heels anyway."

She glanced Shepard over, face openly approving. "But look at you! You look sharp as a sword. You know, if you want to get started on those favors, the dance floor is just over yonder." She finally slows down enough to allow Shepard some time to speak, though she stands close, batting her eyelashes.

"Don't get cocky, not everyone's so damn picky about their footwear in combat," Shepard doesn't know what a mage's armor is supposed to look like anymore than she knows how to operate a bow and arrow, but she supposes it's... A Look. She likes her shiny metallic stripes, but then what does she know?

"Are you hitting on me, Tabris?" Shepard can handle this, though it's maybe a little early for her newest friend and ally to go off the rails, "I'm not faulting your taste, but I should warn you, dancing with me is it's own punishment."
allyorfoe: (hehehe)

"I've been called worse than picky." Tabris replied cheekily, looking over the other people. "I guess I made out better than some people--So did you, have you seen Joel? Poor man. Poured out a beer in honor of him. Andraste bless his soul." She made a gesture with her hands that was probably something similar to crossing yourself for Christians. "Look at that woman, those boobs are one jiggle loose from escaping for the promised land. Maybe I should ask to dance with her instead."

She grinned at Shepard, giving a shrug. "I hit on everyone I think is hot, Commander. Ask me to stop, I'll do it. And for the record, I have no fucking idea how to dance like--that." She gestured at the people bumping and grinding and whatever else Capitolites do. "It looks like it involves a lot of flailing around like an idiot, though, which I can probably manage, while scandalizing everyone from Thedas."
earthborn: (strategy without tactics)

"Oh so you only think I'm hot, is it? You're a real charmer, you know that?"

Sense the sarcasm, Tabris, sense it in the way Shepard folds her arms, hip and head and her whole posture cocked in a loud, silent 'oh, really?'.

"Don't talk to me about Joel. That..." She can't really keep her composure, it's that good. Dammit, serious military officers do not get the giggles! "...Is a work of art, nothing less, and Jolie deserves every bit of her paycheck for the effort. It's beautiful, I wanna marry that shirt."
allyorfoe: (:))

"No, I know you're hot, and you know it, too." Tabris replied cheerfully, shooting a wide grin at the other woman. "But I also know I'm charming! So, really, everyone knows everything."

Tabris snickered, rubbing her chin as she glanced across the party at the unfortunate Texan. "Well, it certainly shows off some of his...assets, I'll give Jolie that. But I'll tell you what, Commander, I'd endorse that marriage. Hell, I'd give you my blessing for such a..." She trailed off for a moment, lips curling wickedly, to give a beat just long enough to let Shepard realize she has made a terrible mistake.

"...Holey union."
earthborn: (they multiply as they are seized)

"Not really selling the charming angle here, Tabris."

Puns? Really, Warden? You're going to have to do better than that.
allyorfoe: (yo)

[personal profile] allyorfoe 2015-04-02 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
"That was a great pun. It was beautiful. I'm going to regale my grandchildren with tales of that pun." Tabris replied stubbornly. "This is why I married Alistair. He thinks I'm hilarious." With that, she stuck her bottom lip out. She'll tell puns, and she'll pout.
earthborn: (where she has taken no precautions)

[personal profile] earthborn 2015-04-03 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"He's not very bright, is he?" She's teasing, you can tell by the sneaky little grin hovering around the corners of her mouth, "Or maybe he's just a slow runner. I mean, you know what they say, right? You don't have to be fast, you just have to be faster than the next guy."
allyorfoe: (lil smile)

"I can't believe I'm getting bullied." Tabris traced the path of a tear down her face calmly. "Well, you wouldn't be alone in thinking he made a dire mistake, at least. You can start the Panem chapter of the club." She had never quite forgotten the look on Arl Eamon's face, when Alistair, not the king, not anything important anymore, married the city elf that had somehow managed to dictate Ferelden politics, and maneuver Alistair away from the throne.

Maker bless.

"But hey! His jokes are just as bad. Just wait until you meet him, Shepard." She grinned, and this grin, by a few shades, was different than the other smiles. More...content. Gross mushiness. "Met him while he was sassing up some mage. Hasn't stopped."
