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.

To all those deaths, somehow, in that increasingly intoxicated state, Phillip managed to say this, "And don't forget the little death, the best one of all," and took another shot of whiskey while he was at it. He probably didn't plan to let that idea flow in an event that was teeming with gossip magazines, but hey it fit.

"One day, I'm gonna be able to sleep again, without this stuff," he added then shrugged, "But until then, we'll take what we can."

Linden tilts his head, staring at Phillip in bemusement following the cheeky statement.

"Oh yes," he says finally, "but I gave that up, remember? I'm almost two months clean."

He sounds wistful, like he regrets it. But at least there's alcohol. He hands an Avox his empty shot glasses, looking a little lost in thought.

As another round came along, the former guard realized that just maybe he and his Mentor were not on the same channel when it came to the ultimate pleasure. For Linden, it may have been Morphling, for Phil, it was the comfort of being with someone.

"I uh..." he forewent the correction and instead, smiled brightly even with the alcohol in his system. "That's great, Linden sir." It's progress onward and for Phil, that was merit enough to politely refuse. "Uh, sorry for bringing up the past like that."

Another round is a terrible idea. On the bright side, if Linden makes himself sick tonight, he might not be as hungover tomorrow.

"Don't apologize. I shouldn't admit this, but any excuse I can get to talk about that... I mean, I'll take it," he says with a rueful shrug. "I miss it. I miss the way things just felt better and saner with it. The secret is that 2 months clean looks great on paper, but it doesn't feel great. It's like taking off a pair of tinted glasses and realizing that the entire world is made out of shit, and there are bugs eating the shit and you can hear them chewing, not to mention the smell, and the only color is brown and it's on your shoes and you just..."

Down the hatch, and there's a somewhat desperate quality to the way he swallows his next shot.

Gray listened to his mentor and watched the hurried drink, "You feel like that's not how it's supposed to be. That being clean should feel so clear instead of overwhelming, right?" At least that's what he thought.

Phil looked at the floor and held off his shot to say, "At least you've made it to two months. Th-that takes a lot of commitment and a goal." The last time he'd tried going sober and abandoning this terrible habit had been a month.

Linden's response is simply pointing a finger at Phillip as though the other man has "gotten it" so completely that nothing further is needed to confirm it.

"They say it gets easier. They're wrong, and you know that. I'm actually surprised at how much I appreciate that."

That acceptance would earn Linden his Tribute's support in a nod and a tiny smile, even when they enable each other in such a way. As he watched the festivities go by, Phillip's eyes filled up with the same sort of wonder that Stephen saw as he was taken to the Capitol for the club incident. Whether or not he could call this place home was up in the air but for tonight, it would be.

He watched the fireworks and grinned in a self-deprecating way, "To this and every Arena." There was something left of the young man who wanted to work at Freddy's, it was just focused on doing his best to survive. "But as bad as being sober gets, at least we get to remember things, good and bad."
