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

"Hm," the look on Tony's face makes it pretty obvious that Lindsey's answer was not what he was expecting. "You study at Hollywood School Of Voodoo or something?"

He's not originally from the L.A. area, but he's lived there a while now. He doesn't say so though.

"Nah, just joined a law firm," Lindsey answered with a laugh after seeing the other man's expression. Let Tony try to figure out if this answer was serious or a joke.

"That's okay though, most of the world's not supposed to know magic exists. I mean, some obviously do, you have your Wicca and shamans, but people make up what they want to believe to fill in for things they can't explain."

"Naturally," Tony just shrugs. Isn't really sure what he's supposed to believe about anything Lindsey says at this point, but a magical lawyer seems just as plausible as anything else to him. When you're friends with a mythological Norse god, he knows he can't go back to thinking he's got the universe figured out.

"You knew though. Apparently. Unless you've been taking a crash course down in the Training Center I wasn't aware they were offering," there's a smile on his face, but he's not fooled yet, Lindsey. If he's really just some Oklahoma-born human guy, he's picked up some knowledge along the way Tony's never heard of. And that's frustratingly curious to him.

"Nah, knowing came with the job. You know, you have your share of dragging monsters out of the hole they dug themselves into and then a side of magic and sacrificial rituals." The way he kept smiling, he might have been talking about the weather for all Tony was concerned. It said: this was my job, I do this everyday, so sue me.

"I wouldn't count on them having a crash course though, magic doesn't work out here."
nightlightheart: (hey there buddy)

"No," Tony agrees. "But sometimes it does in there. Its nice to know who's got something up their sleeve."

"I'm sure everyone has something," Lindsey answered with a shrug. "The question is 'how much' something." He doubted he was the only magic user here, and for all he knew, some of these guys could be demons or had innate powers... or both. Lorne was.
