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
Draco Malfoy
Chibi-Usa

"Ah." Some's posture eased a bit further, and he repeated the word quietly to himself. But...

"... Are humanitarians like vegetarians?"
battroll: (at this point i gotta choose)

"You mean, do they only eat vegetables? Well, I guess some of them might." Bruce is just not thinking along those lines.
gruesome: (Grue - What?)

He shook his head, but didn't press. It couldn't mean what the word suggested to Some, the context didn't make sense.

"I like the sound of people who live to do good for others. I think I have known a few."
battroll: (it's complicated and stupid)

Bruce wasn't an expert at reading the body language of... whatever this thing was, which put a damper on figuring out immediately some of what it meant. Still, if any of the cues stayed consistent, they seemed to suggest Bruce had missed the point. He considered it.

... oh.

"You might have. They're wonderful people, some of them. They're just people. I'm fairly sure the word for what you were referring to was cannibal, or maybe man-eater. It's not common."
gruesome: (Grue is serious.)

"I know those words," he said flatly, with a little shrug. "It was only the humaniword I didn't know. It is tricky to be both."
