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:

The best that could be done was to stick to crowds and keep quiet. And, especially, keep conversations away from here - because if there was one building in all the city that was all but guaranteed to be bugged, this was it.

There was only so much that could be hidden when you were constantly on camera, and Bruce had already accepted certain inevitabilities - the gamemakers knew more about what he could do than he'd have liked, but it couldn't be helped.

It was an interesting question, because there were two different meanings to the answer that could be given. Both were, however, the same, which made the answer itself easier. "I'm afraid I haven't had much time myself - I haven't been here long, and have had even less time to explore the ins and outs of all this place has to offer."

"Then perhaps we could discover those ins and outs together?" Diana offered, only realizing after she'd said it how euphemistic it sounded. She sent up a thankful prayer that Hal or Ollie or their like weren't around to hear that and let it go. She was supposed to be flirting, after all.
