The Victor is...

Who| EVERYONE. IC participation is mandatory (OOC is not, you may handwave)
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:

She preened. Something she did quite a bit around Blaine.

"I think I'd theme is like a big ole' Mardi Gras parade! I doubt they even know what Mardi Gras even is here."

They sure hadn't celebrated it.
mediumdrip: (LOL)

"Oh wow, that's a really good idea. Mardi Gras is made for the Captiol and we could use a real party." He really liked the idea. "Though they probably celebrate it a little differently when you're from than they do in my time."
needsaprince: (Charming and graceful.)

"When are you from?" She asked. They were, clearly, from similar enough worlds. And the thought of that was a little comforting. She adored Some and Adel, of course, but a little bit of home would be nice.

"2012, so pretty far in the future from you..." This whole thing was pretty confusing for him. "At least we're not as far as others. Some people are from the 1800s."

"Oh, I know. Some of the places people come from..." She trailed off, and her brows knit together. "Then again...I can't imagine home ever becoming this place."
mediumdrip: (at gap so not sure)

"Me either. It seems kind of crazy."
needsaprince: (This isn't how this story goes.)

A look of sorrow crosses her face.

"I suppose that history changes a great many things..."

"I wonder how different my time would be from what you're used to."

"I think, from what I have heard....very different in many place. And sometimes, in good ways."

Lottie had caught bits and piece of things that made her happy, of the way people were treated, medicines, and the like. And some...not so happy. Like radiation.

"I think we've made a lot of headway with things like equality," he said thoughtfully. "Though we're not done yet."
