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

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

"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."
kind_of_a_nerd: (pensive looking down)

[personal profile] kind_of_a_nerd 2013-04-16 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, there's so many of us now. I guess there used to be just two for each district?"
mediumdrip: (getting the move right)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-04-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
"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."
mediumdrip: (at the party; grinning)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-04-18 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, we are..."
kind_of_a_nerd: (drunken laugh)

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

"Too bad we don't get a cool space ship with it."
kind_of_a_nerd: (dorky smile)

[personal profile] kind_of_a_nerd 2013-04-20 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Right? That would be fucking perfect!"

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-04-20 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I bet we could ask for one, but there would be strings attached."
mediumdrip: (tie and hat)

[personal profile] mediumdrip 2013-04-20 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"There are string attached to everything."

"I guess I...haven't noticed that."

Blaine rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Yeah, I never used to think like that," he admits. "I just keep listening to people around here and it makes me a little paranoid."
kind_of_a_nerd: (bowties are cool)

[personal profile] kind_of_a_nerd 2013-04-21 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know...like what kinda strings?"

Congratulations, Blaine. You have thoroughly destroyed his buzz.
mediumdrip: (prom; dreamy)

"I don't know yet," Blaine admits. "But I get the feeling the Capitol just doesn't give out favors without expecting something." He moves closer to Atticus. "We could stop talking about this?"
kind_of_a_nerd: (pulling a face)

[personal profile] kind_of_a_nerd 2013-04-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah..." He makes a face. "Maybe we should..."
