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:

Enough was enough. How was she supposed to focus on what was going on, to learn anything when she felt like she might pass out every time she turned quick?

Squeezing herself into a stall, Lara locked herself in and set into the dress, intent on the ties holding her corset.

From inside came the sounds of awkward shuffling, tearing fabric, and at least one hissed, "shit."

Oh, there was a lady who heard that when she got in. Well, a small lady.

"Hey!" Suddenly, a small hand popped into the bottom of Lara's stall, waving. "You need help in there?"

Lara immediately stilled, eyes widening as she realized that yes, she'd most definitely been caught.

So much for first impressions.

Blowing a strand of hair out of her face, she twisted, struggling, until she could see the little hand waving from the door.

She might have laughed, if she could have found the breath.

"Just, having some issues with my dress," she explained vaguely, not wanting to share that she'd just ripped a rather impressive tear into her bodice. "I don't think the stalls were made with sort of fashion in mind."

"Yeah, they definitely weren't." Speaking of first impressions, the person on the other side of the stall sounds really young. "If you need any help untying or tying anything, I can be of some help. I know how these things are!"

She pulled at her lip with her teeth, wondering just how young the girl on the other side of the door was.

"Unless you know something about dress mending...." she trailed off, glancing down at her dress.
