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 flushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Um...that'd be nice? But I...don't think they...probably will."

He was just now realizing that everyone in this room had probably seen him naked.

Blaine pressed his lips together. "If I wake up in the Capitol first, I'll see if I can send you some." His voice was careful, as he knew that he was talking about his own death.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus smiled, and then frowned, not sure which was the appropriate response to that. "Um...thanks. Really. If I get back first, I'll...try to help you out too."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded at that. "It's a deal then," he said.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus smiled. "Awesome."

[mediumdrip]

"Now let's talk about something happier," Blaine suggested, giving Atticus a smile that wasn't tainted by worry.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus laughed, nodded. "Yeah, let's totally do that."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded to the dance floor. "Looks like there's going to be some dancing. We can look forward to that, can't we?"

[kind_of_a_nerd]

He laughed again.

"Yeah, I guess? I'm gonna need to drink more for that."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine raised his brow a bit. "Oh, if you think I'm not going to drag you out there, you're sadly mistaken."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus picked up his glass, filled with something pink and bubbly. "I'm definitely gonna need another, then."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine chuckled a bit. "You take as much as you need to dance with me."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Grinning, Atticus finished his drink, and before he could even think about asking for another, it was refilled.

"This is pretty good, actually," he said as he took another drink.

[mediumdrip]

"Yeah? Is it strong?" Blaine tended to act rather foolish with alcohol and he was the lightest light weight he knew. He picked up the drink to sniff at it before sipping it.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"I don't think so? It tastes like lemonade."

Atticus' favorite drink was tequila, so this would best to take with a grain of salt.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine ends up drinking a little more. "It is pretty good."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"It's all...fizzy," he said, finishing his second glass, and grinning a little when it was refilled again.

[mediumdrip]

"Are you sure it's not alcoholic?" Blaine asked as he watched how much of it Atticus was drinking.

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"It's a little bit alcoholic, I think," he said, turning to Blaine with a smile. "Not too much, though. I think."

[mediumdrip]

"How long does it usually take for you to get drunk?"

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"Like...six or seven shots?"

This was since he was turned, of course. It had been less before that.

[mediumdrip]

"Wow. I think if I drank that much I'd end up passed out on the floor."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

Atticus giggled a little. "Kind of a lightweight, huh?"

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded and managed to look embarrassed. "Yeah. A few beers and I start doing really stupid things."

[kind_of_a_nerd]

"That's what alcohol is for, dude!"
