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:

"Yeah, that's true!"

He grins. "So are you?"

"I'm one of the best."

"Then we should be awesome together!"

"We need to find out if we can test that theory."

He looks over at the band with some longing.

Atticus nodded, looking over to the band as well. "Yeah..."

"I wonder if we can play something here... I bet that's bad form though."

"...I don't know who we'd ask."

"Probably one of the Capitol citizens..." And that idea just doesn't sound appealing at all.

Atticus makes a face. "Yeah, probably..."

"Later might be better..." As much as it pained him to say it.

"Yeah, you're probably right."

"That gives us time to figure out what music is popular here."

"Totally! Maybe learn some songs for karaoke. Do they have, like, radio here? Or something like Pandora?"

"I bet they do. I'll have to ask my Escort."

"Oh, yeah. I...keep forgetting about them."

"Yeah? They can be a pretty good reference for navigating this crazy place. I think they're a little overworked."

"Yeah, there's so many of us now. I guess there used to be just two for each district?"

"Yeah. One boy and one girl."

"Must be a hard adjustment for them."

"They probably have to do four times the amount of work. And when you think about it they also have to get us used to this world. It has to be weird to explain even the most basic things."

"Right? We're basically, like, aliens or something."

"Well, we are..."

He laughs. "Yeah, I guess so, huh? Awesome."

"Too bad we don't get a cool space ship with it."

"Right? That would be fucking perfect!"
