The Crowning of Tony Stark

Who| Everyone.
What| The Crowning of Tony Stark.
Where| The New Capitol Stark Expo!

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.

"Sandy's a good kid. She's had a lot of people let her down," or die, which is much the same to a child, even one as tough and independent as Cassandra Marko. Shepard can't help the way her eyebrows lift, though.

Help with...uh, what now?

"What, you wanna train? I mean, I run a little something in the mornings, but it's not really formal."

Gray shook his head, "I'm some no-name guy who doesn't have a spine worth a damn in the Arena. I don't want to let Sandy down again." Or ever, but that was death for you. He was entirely too hard on himself but in his mind, he deserved it. "She told me to go to you if I needed help, and…make sure she has a better chance of winning as long as she's here."

"Well you might not have a spine, but it takes guts to talk to me like that. And to stand up and do something, especially around here," She crossed her arms and took him in. He was passably tall-- taller than her, certainly, not that that was saying much; she appraised his build and his earnest expression with a practiced eye, "Alright, first lesson, you are not 'some no-name guy'."

And people always seemed surprised at that. Somehow it seemed implausible that they were taller than her. What was the deal with that? Damned height was right there on her betting stats, 160 centimeters, clear as day.

"You have a fucking name, Philip Gray. Say it."

Phil was surprised at how intimidating Shepard was, but then again, she was one of the longest lasting Victors, no shock there. But even at his respectable five-foot-ten, he felt tiny compared to her.

"My name is Phillip Gray," he then added as a sign of respect, "Commander." Sir didn't seem appropriate and by the looks of things, he would rather keep the formality and not get his ass handed to him as they'd dodged in the rooftop.

"Good."

Not a Victor yet, Phil, but maybe one day a real victor-- not of any sculpted arena cage-match, but of the whole she'bang. What mattered wasn't any of this, who lived or died or suffered on the big screens. What mattered was what happened where the people couldn't see: battles that meant something, wars that could be won for real, as much as any war ever was.

"Stand up straight from now on. If you actually want to work with me, I'm going to hold you to it, I need commitment. That's has got to mean something, or you are worthless to me. You understand?"

Phillip hadn't noticed his own slouch, he hadn't been proud of himself for a while now to merit the pose anyways. Why not change that now? He stood taller now, head level to his shoulders and listening to Shepard's words.

"I understand and I'll keep my word," he stated in a tone that used to be managerial, stronger than who he became after the five years of hell. Maybe fighting for something wouldn't be an exercise in tragedy and make something out of this second chance at life. If there was one thing Phil did right, it was keeping his word, even if it got him killed.
