The Crowning Of Tom Cassidy
Who| Everyone who's anyone. (Tributes, Staff, Capitolites, and anyone else in Capitol.)
What| The Crowning of Black Tom Cassidy.
Where| The New Cassidy Keep of the Capitol!
When| From noon to the late evening, Friday.
Notes| This event is mandatory for all Tributes to attend. Even if you do not tag in, your character will attend this party. Peacekeepers will be on high alert, so no funny business.
WARNINGS| Blatent irish stereotyping. Remember to put any relevant warnings in headers!
The dress code for this crowning is certainly a strange one. Greenery, burlap sacks, and "Irish" themed outfits which many a confused Capitolites has take as to simply be the color green. Among them can be found the sorts of ridiculous bright costumes as could be found in a 1970's comic book-- not that the 1970's are even a real time period. Spandex, V-necks, and popped collars are going to be a common sight tonight.
Guests are brought out to the stunning blue-green bay. There's a new feature there, a great big replica of Cassidy Keep. And it's been built upon a rock. How it stays up is a mystery, but it's no doubt a stunning site as guests are brought in on boats to a grand staircase that leads to even bigger doors.
Guests enter into a beautiful castle and garden both. Trees grow through the stones, vines climb over the stair railings, flowers bloom on the walls, and in some place the castle gives way purely to nature with small ponds set in. Like an internal rainforest (though the temperature is comfortable and cool) there's greenery everywhere soaking up the light that shines through the high windows. Statues stand tall of Black Tom Cassidy, Molotov Cocktease, and Arya Stark, sometimes all of them together. Then are more of an imposing man named Unstoppable Thuggernaut, a young girl named Theresa, the same girl older with the plaque deeming her to be "Siren", and statues of the the three of them together, both as a family and posing to fight. And of course, one can't forget that grand paintings of infamous arena scenes featuring Black Tom. Paths are set around to help guide guests, the main path leading into the biggest room of the keep.
Sponsored by Below Timberline, a temporary dining area has been set up within the castle-- high above the ground! All along the treetops that shoot up to the ceiling are the vine and wood woven nests for guests to be seated in. Waiters, waitresses, and Avoxes make their way along thick branches and rope bridges. But despite appearances, there's no chance of falling! Forcefields have been put up around the whole area to prevent such a tragedy from occurring to guests, waiters, and waitresses.
There are Avox operated lifts to help guests up to the tree tops, and though this might be an eyesore for some, they've all been dressed pleasant green, some with little hats. All the better to match the theme and blend into it!
That's not all that's gained the Irish theme. The menu consists all of foods that would be found in this mysterious off-world residence. Corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, colcannon, black pudding, crubeens, shepherd's pie, champ, boxty, shelfish, Blaa, Goody, and Barmbrack despite it being out of season. There is even a cereal dish of what may very well be Lucky Charms. Drinks include "Irish" Whiskey, ales, porter, coffee and cream, and cider both alcoholic and not (for the kids). There is significantly more whiskey with Tom's face upon it than not and much of the drinks are served in large mug glasses.
Down below the dining area are two clear spaces for dancing, one for the professionals giving performance, and one for those seeking to try on their own. The show isn't just an entertaining watch, it's dancers bring more to the music as well, tapping out a beat. Mixed in to shake up the river dancing, Irish-styled folk songs play, generally regaling tales of Black Tom Cassidy and his exploits, but occasionally playing a song or two about other Tributes.
In between floors is a stand where cotton candy makers craft giant colorful flowers. On the far end of the room, set up high, sits Tom's throne. Torches crown the top of the wooden throne, vines woven over the arm rests, a strange metal meant to visually mirror that of vibranium, shines in elegant swirling detail over and around the whole chair. A soft black material is stretched over the back and seat of the throne, marked in red on the back with Tom's symbol. Tom's crown features flowers and shining rubies set in the wood.
Set up in another room is a shillelagh game of shooting water out of the staff at the targets and winning a prize. Prizes include real "authentic" Shillelaghs, and ones that light up and show fire at the end thanks to an internal projection mechanism. And it's perfectly harmless!
Another room winds and twists through a dark torch lit tunnel in a guided tour through a replica portion of Cassidy keep that's been filled with amazing info about Panem's new Victor! Pictures of his life, his youth, his loves, and his adventures. There are replica vibranium pieces, models featuring Tom's many outfits, a pretend prison for guests to have their picture taken inside of, and on-wall descriptions of his villainous escapades. Both those and the tour guide tend to loop back to how he's found redemption here in Panem, now a model citizen.
A third room has been cleared for allowing a giant game of cops and robbers, which Tom has exemplified in present and past respectively. Those brought in to play are dressed in villain's outfits for the "robbers" and all Peacekeeper white for the "cops".
One door leads out to a bridge, connecting the island to the chasm edge across from it. There's a section of rolling hills there where guests are encouraged to seek out four leaf clovers and have them exchanged for engraved gold and bronze rings, flower bouquets, a free meal courtesy of Below Timberline, or even Limited Edition Black Tom Cassidy memorabilia. The white bridge across is lit underneath like that of the ha'penny bridge in the exotic offworld Ireland, but unlike ha'penny, the bridge's lights form beautiful moving pictures of various arena scenes, particularly the finale.
Saddened these scenes are out of sight? Fear not! The wide bridge has a second function: bungee jumping! Overseen by an attendant, with the proper equipment fitting, you too can take a dive into a chasm. Like Black Tom did, only on purpose and absolutely injury-free! The bungee is perfectly secure and safe with more attendants waiting below to pick up those... at the end of their rope. Boats waiting along the far edges pick up the guests again to bring them back around to the Cassidy Keep party. And what a party it is.
But it's not all fun and games at this crowning. Come evening, the dance floor is cleared and a stage and podium are swiftly set up. All the guests are sat. Tributes are sat up front, Capitolites and other guests in the back. Peacekeepers line in rows on the back and sides of the stage. Those still on duty situate between the Tributes and guests. Dead-center, with the rows of Tributes on either side, are two Peacekeepers that some might recognize as being one of the more heavily afflicted Peacekeepers on the day of the Medieval Games-watching Party. Though the offworld "sickness" vanished shortly after the first arrest was made, these two still don't look so hot, one nursing what might be a headache, and the other just plain looking ill.

Excellents, maybe.
"Doesn't matter except for social purposes, though. Well, and the Arena, I suppose, not that I'm going back in."
no subject
His brows furrow. "Not goin' back, huh? They let you out?"
no subject
Molotov nods, crosses her legs at the knee and bobs her foot. "Petitioned out. I can't work as a commentator if I'm actually in the Arena, can I? Like I said, not my career of choice, but it pays well."
no subject
"Petitioned out," he repeats. "Huh. Dunno if I have anything useful they'd want, but it's an interesting fuckin' idea."
no subject
She points at him with her cigarette. "You were only in there for what, two weeks? Three? They haven't see enough of you. If you're smart, you'll get yourself plastered on every possible surface as soon as you can. That's what I did, and being a media darling helps you out in a lot of ways around here."
no subject
"And when they're ready to let me out? The people will love me so much they'll be fuckin' clamoring to see what I do next. It'd be fuckin' stupid of these Capitol fucks not to show me off."
no subject
Her face is turning slightly red.
"And the first three or four weeks are the worst, that's when everyone is hiding and cowering and there's too many to bother chasing them. All you can do is find someplace sort of comfortable and wait it out until the numbers come down. And you might have to do it with a fatal wound going septic on you."
She takes another drag off her cigarette and blows out a heart-shaped ring, though it would be upside down to him. "Going to be a lot harder to carve out your fanbase now, since everyone and their mother started actually wanting to sign to Sponsor deals. Fucking assholes, they're all too high and mighty before, flaunting their morals, but the second someone tells them they have to work for a living, they leap on the contracts like a Kardashian on any marginally famous black man."
no subject
He huffs, jabbing a finger. "Oi. Them girls're nice, alright? An' I happen to know they're not that picky." He gives her a toothy grin. Oh, Khloe. He'll never forget you.
no subject
One of her feet jiggles thoughtfully. "Well, everyone would see it, you're probably going to get sick with a crotch disease because everyone and everything is filthy, you're burning up energy reserves that you probably won't have the supplies to replace... and the people here, the Capitolites? They like everything to be like a soap opera, so unless it's sex as some grand gesture of love and romance, they'll most likely look down on it. The idiots fuck more casually than bonobos, but they want us to all constantly be caught in dramatic love triangles, or on the verge of getting married. Because I suppose that's more interesting to them. So Sponsorship loss is a real possibility if you go around slutting it up on camera."
She makes a psshh noise and waves her hand dismissively. "I didn't say they aren't nice. I'm sure they're perfectly nice. They're just... well, as you yourself said, not picky. The hallmark trait of a family that got famous for a bad sex tape."
no subject
But he has to admit, she has some good points against Arena sex. He shrugs. "Just wonderin', I don't have any particular plans to actually do it. But fair enough."
Ford shudders a little. "Terrible fuckin' sex tape, I have to agree."
no subject
She is very slowly sliding down the throne, her hair piling on the floor as her head nears it, though she doesn't seem to notice any of that.
But now they're talking diamonds, and she sighs, looking wistful. "You know what I really want? The Centenary Diamond. Not even to sell, just for myself. Think about that, a ring with that diamond on it. I even hacked into De Beers's records, but I can't find any information on where it is now."
no subject
He scoffs. "I could get it for you easy, if it weren't against my extensive code of honor and would also lose me my fuckin' job." Also a lie, he doesn't have any idea who the hell owns it. But it's a good enough sentiment, right?
no subject
She pretty much immediately slumps down to sit on the ground, her legs stretched out in front of her while she leans back against the throne. Another drink is brought to her, no matter how terrible of an idea that may be. "Pssh, doesn't matter now. We're stuck here. I can have all the diamonds I want, get them stuck in my skin, even. Like a tattoo made of precious stones. Except I was thinking maybe a ruby, shaped like a heart? Right... but I don't know really, I hate to think how they might try to take it back."
no subject
The idea of diamond skin implants has him furrowing his brow. "Reminds me of the time I was forced to take on a robotic skin implant in order to infiltrate a secret underground society of Illuminati ninjas," he rattles off, voice slurring.
no subject
She looks confused again, taking a deep drink from her glass, and squints at him. "Why did you need to be a robot?" She honestly sounds really puzzled. "Ninjas aren't robots. They're usually assholes, but not robot assholes. I've met those too, totally different."
