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.

"Goddammit," Joel mutters. This is why he drinks. You all drive him to it. Especially Jolie. Sure, okay, part of him wanted to make her feel a little better, she's been down lately and it's not her fault, she's a decent enough sort when she's not...

Committing travesties upon his beard.

"Damn Joel," She can speak through the chuckling, but only just, "Okay. Whew, I'm fine."

It was absolutely the silliest thing, truly ridiculous in every sense, but here she was, smiling. Laughing! It didn't matter in the larger context because... Well, Joel was wearing a silly shirt. Without meaning to, Shepard reached out and touched it.

"Jeez..." Shepard vows to find Jolie and shake her hand, "Well, at least one of us is looking pretty good."

"It itches like hell," he mutters, shaking his head. Though that's as much from the fact that his chest is getting all stubbly again after Swann forced that full-body wax on him a few weeks ago. Still.

"Yeah, you're the one lookin' good," he points out. "And I don't even like people in uniform."
earthborn: (has confidence in her men)

"It's not the uniform that matters, it's the people," She was confident tonight, feeling much like her old self again. It was enough to make her cross her arms and smirk for him, "But thanks. I used hate this damn thing-- It is actually mine, as far as I can tell."

After all, if she can't go to Joel for subtle is this not bullshit complaints, then who can she go to? She hasn't seen him yet, but Shepard can already predict that Garrus will be in armor, and therefore of no help whatsoever.

"Why, is blue not your color or somethin'?" Joel asks lightly - he doesn't necessarily expect a serious or thoughtful answer from her about it, certainly not in this time and place, but it's better than talking about his stupid getup.
earthborn: (like the well-timed swoop of a falcon)

"No, it's... Formal get-togethers have never really been my thing. I hated any occasion fancy enough that I'd have to put this uniform on," She shook her head, disgust as clear on her face as an unexpected bite of lemon, "They used to have to mail me the medals, I had so many excuses to avoid the ceremonial crap. Garrus used to take a lot of pleasure in telling me that people would remember me as a diplomat and a peacemaker, but..."

But now, she looks more at ease than she has in weeks. Straight back, square shoulders, head up high, with a firm, clear gaze. Oh, she's an officer of the Alliance, alright. No mistaking her bearing for anything less than military.

"...He's an asshole, anyways. Always has been."

"We all know you got a type, lady," Joel says with a snort.

"But I know what you mean about parties. Stupid things. Too many people packed into one place."

In his world, that just spells danger. Infection. Sitting ducks for attack.

"Too right. If I ever get out of here, I'm never going anywhere unarmed. Ever."

She and Thane had made a game of it, once-- how easily could one take down the entire room, at a crowning? Points to the most creative solution, the one that involved the least contrivances, and of course, for speed. It had been friendly, almost teasing, until Garrus had gotten in on the action. Then, it had gotten downright mean.

"...Also, what exactly is that supposed to mean? A type?"

"You and me both," he agrees, shaking his head.

He gives Shepard a Look. Are you kidding? "Assholes," he says after a moment.
earthborn: (fought with sticks and stones)

"I'm fairly sure I resent the implication that I'll be hooking up with my damn-- my Lieutenant," Not in the least because... Well. She's thought about it. Recently, even, and isn't that just such a wash of nausea and guilt? Thane's not even been gone a month.

"...Who is a Turian, if you'll remember."

"Who you wanna sleep with is your own business," Joel mutters, hands up in a quelling gesture. "But you have to admit, it's true."
earthborn: (batton your hatches)

"Nobody likes a wiseass, Joel"

Nobody likes you Joel. But you have grown on her-- like a hairy fungus.

"Nobody but another wiseass, I suppose," he points out with a shrug.
