What| Momoko's victory crowning
Where| The ball room
When| The Wednesday before the next arena.
Warnings/Notes| None atm.

The party was styled for Momoko.

The tables were covered in lace, delicate dishes and silverware, flowers that fell from vases covered in Victorian paintings. It was the most extravagant tea party to ever be thrown, with tiny, thin china cups and a too many tiny little finger foods being passed around to count. The ballroom has been styled in extravagant Baroque, as the Capitol was fairly liberal with their adaption of historical time periods.

The costumes were just as liberally chosen, from tall, powdered wigs holding birdcages with live birds, clearly hailing in the style of Marie Antoinette to regency gowns gathered under daringly (and occasionally outright) exposed busts to tight corsets and the skeletons of skirts exposed and decorated. A quarter played live music at one end of the room, before a wide dance floor.

At the head of the room there was a long table with a throne for Momoko, as elaborate as anything else in the room. And along the long table, group close to those who they seemed to enjoy, was a place for many of the Tributes, with a small place card that said "Special guest of The Capitol." This table was fed first, received drinks first, and was clearly favored.

Any Tributes not seated at the long table with their peers were dispersed among the the smaller table spread about the room, left to rub elbows with the guests invited from the Capitol, and the reporters covering the event. Security was, if anything, tighter than the last crowning.

These people have seats a the big kids table. You guys are free to decide who sits by who (And if three people sit by one person, don't worry too much about it) but they are, when possible set by their friends:

Atticus Bell

She glanced over curiously, a little taken aback by the Tribute's appearance, the dress somehow managing to soften her general aesthetic. But the Capitol takes all kinds, she knew, so the shock passed quickly enough.

"You have to do both. When you're in the Arena, you 'get to kill people'. The rest of the time, you have to attend the parties," Ariadne pointed out mildly, one hand on her abdomen as she tried to force more air into her lungs than the dress would allow.

"Parties are stupid," Karis groused. She amended a moment later, "Unless you're getting drunk. Then it's just fine. But fnacy dress? Ugh. Not my thing, pinky."

She tugged at her collar with a little hiss of irritation and then settled again, although she still gave the occasional fidget.

"Pinky?" She asked, a frown twitching to her brow. Really, it would be just her luck to find someone who was not only conversing with her first, but then chose to insult her. "It's not my fault, you know. I have to suffer through it just as much as you do."

"What? You're pink!" Karis waved a hand with an irritated little snort, "It's just a nickname! Uther's balls, you people are so damn sensitive!"

Ariadne merely blinked, tipping her head slightly to one side. "Do you always leap to conclusions like that?"

Somehow, she was reminded of Neeshka, and how the woman seemed typically excitable. It wasn't really a good trait to have in a place like this, not so far as she had seen.

"What conclusion? That you're pink?"

Well, she was guessing, considering she was colorblind.

"That I'm sensitive. I just asked for clarification on something."

Colourblindness definitely didn't lend itself to that sort of assumption. Unless you could take it into consideration, of course. Still, it wouldn't have helped things.

Karis muttered something under her breath in a guttural tongue and then propped herself on the table with her elbows.

"Yeah, well next time, don't."

She gave Karis a long stare, not much liking this Tribute. She was glad she wasn't one of hers; it would take far too much effort to actually try to keep her alive.

"You spoke to me first. You're more than welcome to stop at any time."
