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:

Atticus Bell
Draco Malfoy
Chibi-Usa
Dr. Grey
Adel
Tony Stark
Howard Bassem
Javert Neeshka
Vanessa Carlysle
Lindsey McDonald
R
Albert Wesker

Eponine wasn't amused. She was embarrassed - and upset at herself for showing her embarrassment so clearly. She didn't think Barbara's to be worse than her own - it wasn't much better - but it did not look as if it would fall apart at a touch, leaving the girl in a see-through net skirt. So Eponine said nothing, and instead knocked back her brandy, gasping a little as it burned her throat. She wasn't even on her way to being drunk yet - but it wasa start.

No, there was that much at least. Though Barbara didn't think anyone would be that interested in what laid beneath hers.

"I'm Barbara," she offered by way of peace offering, holding out her hand.

"'Ponine." She took the proffered hand cautiously. Nobody had ever offered to shake her hand before, and she awkwardly bobbed a curtsey as she shook. She didn't really know what to do, what to say then, so she half smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her hand away.

Barbara let it go, head tilting a little. She'd spoken t one person out of time already. she wondered if it couldn't be...

"You're not exactly from around here, are you?" she was hoping for a few details mixed in with the woman's answer.

"I do not think many are, Madame."

Eponine carefully hugged her chest once more.

"I am from France - from Paris, Madame. I do not even know how I came to be here really.

"You randomly wake up here, too?" she asked, arm resting on her hip now. She was thinking about her meeting with these game makers. So not her idea of a good time
