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:

"Exactly," Callista agreed. "Hyper space cuts down on the time, but you're still spending a lot of time housed in a tiny ship."

[splendid_roman]

"That doesn't sound terribly appealing." Not for long distances anyway. A ship bigger on the inside was a vast improvement on that front. "How long did journeys take?"

[morethathityou]

"Most only take a hours, but you can be in space for longer than that. There are many traders who spend most of their lives inside of their ship."

[splendid_roman]

He couldn't imagine spending his whole life on a ship. He would miss being on a planet, he was sure. "I suppose it's the same for people at home who work on sailing ships. Some of those don't have much more space to sleep, but at least they have an open deck."

[morethathityou]

"That's probably a good comparison. Though you wouldn't want an open deck in space." That last part was teasing, seeing as they had already gone over the effects of being exposed to space.

[splendid_roman]

He laughed. "You couldn't have all the crew and passengers being blown out into space."

[morethathityou]

"Exactly. It would completely defeat the point..." She tried not to think of the time that she and Luke had been stuck in a broken ship. It had been so cold and so miserable, and yet she hadn't let that keep her out of space. It was still important to travel.

"Space is dangerous, but it's also beautiful. There are a lot of things in the all of the worlds that are both of those things."

[splendid_roman]

"The best things are both," he said, grinning.

[morethathityou]

"The best things are that and worth it."
