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.

Feel free to use it |D
For every time the ball bounces, the corner of his lips tug higher and higher until it becomes a grin that has been been away for so long, it's a wonder it hadn't disappear entirely. He moves to snatch it but Luke is quicker, so he just goes back to folding his arms and tries to look casual (for a guy in a glowy suit anyway).
"Fine. You get two shots anyway. Probably'll need all the help you can get." The act of teasing one another endured even after the world took a turn for the worse, but out right taunting is a whole other surprise, even for Nick. It's something he hasn't done since their gaming days. Unlike activities that involve performing or talking to a bunch of people, there's a slight air of confidence coming from Nick that dares to appear when in a comfortable setting. And he's very comfortable here, even if he's but a shadow of what he used to be.
no subject
It’s all harmless, playful banter he slips into more easily than he expects to, like an old pair of clothes. Though ones that don’t fit quite the same – quite as comfortably - as they used to. And while Luke’s smile is a shade dimmer and his laughter not as full and free as it was once, before the dead walked the earth and ripped their families from them, claiming them and the good memories they had left piece by piece, he’s trying. They’re all trying. These little moments can’t make up for all the world has taken away. But it’s a start.
He sucks in his lip unconsciously, frowning, while lining up his next shot. And then, the toss – and a soft plop as the ball finds its target. Pleasant surprises are rarer than ever and he can hardly believe it himself, staring a half-beat before clapping his hands together and pumping a fist in triumph.
“Bottoms up, man.” He’s just about beaming like a schoolboy with a prom date as he gestures to the cup with a nudge of his chin, all sorts of expectant.
no subject
"All right, lucky shot." He sets the empty cup aside and shakes off the rinsed ball. Luke still has one more shot to go and knowing Nick's luck, he'd probably make it too. Thankfully, it'd probably take drinking this whole table for Nick to feel buzzed.
no subject
And his wrist sees a lot of action, thanks for asking.Oh, there’s an undeniable twinge of satisfaction seeing Nick forced to eat his words – or drink them, more appropriately – even though he’s had a long time to recognize how easily Nick can put away a half-case of beer, never mind a cup. Small or not, it’s a victory and he’ll take it. Maybe he could even double it.
He eagerly reproaches the table seething with excitement, pulling in a slow breath and letting it out in a long puff as if the fate of all the world is to be decided by a game of beer pong. Then comes the toss – one that bounces off the rim of the cup and then table. Had the ball any more weight to it, it’d have spilled beer all over the place. Not that he’d worry too much over Capitol property; it’d just have been a waste of perfectly good booze.
“What? The hell was that?” He bursts into incredulous laughter, collecting the ball. “Who’s lucky now, Nick?”
You dodged a bullet there, man.
no subject
He knows.He had been flicking the lights on his suit on and off in hopes to throw Luke's aim off. He doesn't know if that actually did it, but the fact that Luke missed works out all the same.
"Maybe I should've just kept the mask on, huh?" He asks with a snort, but the smile lingers at hearing Luke's laughter. He readies the ball he had been holding onto earlier, releasing it with a flick of his wrist. The ball bounces once towards the center cup. Luke better be prepared to wipe that doofus look on his face soon -
Dammit. Or not.
The ball barely taps the rim of the cup before rolling away. 'You're lucky my nephew can't shoot for shit.' His scowl becomes unreadable for a moment as Pete's voice echos in the back of his mind, though the reference brings up the sort of memories he doesn't want to think about right now.
"Shut up," he says before Luke can even say anything at all.It's a warning, but a playful one. He grabs a clean ball from the tray and starts to aim again, this time going for a light toss. "You better not try anything." He's a guy that seems to thrive after a second chance (sometimes a fourth), so he's determined to make this one.
no subject
"Hey, don' look at me." Luke holds up his hands in surrender and shakes his head, the picture of innocence if not for the ever-widening grin he does nothing to bite back. But for all his competitive spirit he hangs back and gives Nick a wide berth. He has matured enough to avoid attempting jump scares, especially in light of the sort of knee-jerk defensive instincts they’ve all developed over the last few years. Cheating sucks the joy out of it, anyway, especially when they're only just getting back into the swing of goofing off. Letting go.
“Don’ go jinxin’ yourself.” He folds his arms loosely across his chest, watching.
no subject
Jinxing himself that is. As for the looking, he's alternating his gaze between the cup he's going for and Luke, whose grin totally isn't being contagious. The corner of Nick's lips is just itchy is all. He bites his lower lip and tosses it, ignoring that part of his head that's chastising him for taking stupid shit like this too seriously.
The motto "if you got it, flaunt it" cannot be any more applicable right now as the ball lands in the center cup. "Hah! Take that, motherfucker." Nick can't help but punch his palm with his other hand. Fuck that adult side of him that tells him to handle things with decorum.
Nick looks at Luke with an innocent look of his own. "I was talking to the cup." There's a level of honesty there given how intently he had been looking at the targeted up, but it's all out of playfulness regardless.
no subject
Not bad for a couple of ex-beer-pong-veterans on their shaky first attempt in ages. “A’right, a’right.” Luke accepts his drink with minimal fuss and tosses his head back, draining the beer in one too-easy draught. He dries his chin with a swipe of his hand before pitching the cup in a neat arc into a nearby trashcan. It's not hard to remember how ridiculously addictive this could be, his pulse quick in his throat and his limbered-up fingers itching to play. He feels younger, lighter.
“You know I got plenty a' rounds left in me…” Luke's brows push together, worry gradually flattening his smile. “…but it might be too risky ‘less we can find some punch or somethin’.” If any is available. His mouth skews at the idea. “Jus’ ain’t beer pong without the booze.”
no subject
He may never be able to fit into Capitol society (boo-fuckin'-hoo) but he's been around just long enough to get the big picture of how they want to see things done.
"Somethin's tellin' me that it won't happen again," Nick says, keeping the topic vague to listening ears, but hopefully just enough for Luke to understand. "Not much shock value if they keep doin' the same thing."
With that said, Nick picks up one of the clean ping pong balls and tosses it over for Luke to catch. "I think it'll be fine." We'll be fine. Right? "We can get punch...but one of the cups better be full of vodka too."
The last bit is for the sake of tying the conversation together, but he certainly wouldn't argue against a game of sudden death of this nature. Luke's the better shooter at beer pong anyway, so the odds would be...in his favor.
Shit, maybe Nick's fitting in better than he thinks. (Not.)
no subject
"Maybe." His tone holds more skepticism than it does cautious hope. After all, the Arenas are a predictable ritual and their popularity with the Capitolites shows no signs of flagging. If the timing of the last arena had been well-received by the audience (and how could it not have been, what with the chaos and confusion it must have stirred up among tributes), it could very well happen again – and he’d rather brace himself for the worst than find himself completely surprised if he’d be jerked out of bed in the small hours of the coming morning by a friendly neighbourhood peacekeeper.
"I'll see what I can find." He offers, making for the refreshments table. "Oh, an’ uh…" Pausing, he half-turns with a wry, warm grin on his lips. "...try not to have too much fun without me."
