The Crowning of Cullen Rutherford
Who| Everyone who's anyone.
What| The Crowning of Cullen Rutherford.
Where| The new Rutherford Castle.
When| Friday, late afternoon into the evening.
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| Please warn appropriately in headers.
The crowning ceremony takes place in an approximation of Skyhold, a large fortress with a castle with a sweeping main hall, gardens, and two levels of courtyard. Flags and banners hang everywhere, some with heraldry of the Inquisition, some with the heraldry of the Templar Order, a nod to Cullen's old days as a Templar. And of course, just as prominent everywhere you look is the seal of the Capitol. Just in case anyone forgot where they were.
The medieval fashion (or as close of approximation to medieval as the Capitol as gotten) that had come in with the 13th arena is back in full swing. There's plenty of fake armor to be seen, and foam swords resting on Capitolite hips. Sweeping ballgowns can be spotted as well, and a few more savvy people seem to have come dressed in a strange red and gold uniform. The avoxes do their best to blend in to the environment with drab brown peasant outfits.
In the main hall, tables filled with medieval food have been set up on both sides of the walls, filled with approximations of medieval food--As far as the Capitolites are concerned, that means normal food, but with a tendency for venison and large turkey legs. There are even dainty little cakes for dessert. Along the walls, above the food tables, hang multiple pictures. Featuring in this galley are every native of Thedas that had come to Panem at one point or another, all of them dressed in dour blacks of funeral wear, save the four remaining Thedasians. But of course, there are plenty of pictures of the Victor, starting with Cullen has a chubby blond child, going into him as an awkward young Templar (there's even a picture of him talking to a woman that the title identifies as Warden Amell), going through unfortunate hair cuts, and of course, various pictures of him in Panem, capturing a variety of touching and painful moments.
It all culminates when you get to the end of the hall, where there rests a massive throne just for Cullen. And behind it, the largest picture of them all, a massive portrait of Cullen. Adella stands next to him, holding an infant in her arms. Maxwell and Tabris are, for some reason, also featured in this family portrait, and you have to wonder if the artist in question didn't perhaps ship the ever popular Maxullen, because Maxwell's hand was looking awfully chummy on Cullen's shoulder.
The bottom courtyard has been set up with stalls, where you can buy foam swords and shields, little mabari plushes, and even a lion helmet. There's also little wedding toppers, shaped just like Cullen and Adella, and framed pictures of most of the art that hangs in the main hall. The nearby stables have been stocked with a variety of mounts, from the standard horses to more exotic harts, a strange dragon-like creature, and...no one is really sure what this is, but it...looks interesting?
In the upper courtyard, there's the Herald's Rest, a real, rustic tavern, with a woman playing a guitar and singing various songs. All the songs seem to revolve around how great the Capitol is, which kind of offsets the mood, but it's the thought that counts, right? It doesn't help that the bar has been outfitted to serve all kinds of modern drinks, but who wants plain ale, anyway? Outside of the tavern is a practice ring, where people can put to use their fake swords and shields, either trying to maul each other, or a target. Several peacekeepers offset the aesthetic feel in uncompromising white, carefully watching all participants to make sure that everyone is playing nicely.
If everything is just a little too busy for you, the garden is left in quiet peace. A woman dressed in red and white robes will occasionally begin speaking, extolling the virtues of the Capitol, and President Snow in a lengthy monologue.
There are a few actors wandering around, appearing as various people who have made an impact on Cullen's life. There's the mysterious Warden Amell, a man in full armor, and a woman dressed similarly. These two will wander around, swords in hand, ready to smack anyone with foam swords and accuse them of being blood mages. One actress is dressed like a certain Marian Hawke who had at one time been a tribute. She darts around the fortress, stopping people and regaling them with highly exaggerated tales of things that Cullen has supposedly done. There's even a few creatures running around that people may recognize from the last arena, such as the tastefully almost-nude desire demon that will occasionally try to sidle up to people--usually to be driven off by one of the people in armor.
There's one more addition to the party--dogs! A very specific kind of dog. Several dogs simply wander around Skyhold, trying to steal people's food and begging for attention. Next to the throne are four particularly handsome ones, each one with a collar baring the name of one of the four Thedasians left.
If wandering around Skyhold and competing with swords leaves you dry-mouthed, you're in luck! Dotted around the area are fountains that all pour a strange, bright blue punch. Listen closely, because the fountain seems to be humming a strange tune. If you have a careful eye, you might even find the one that has red punch pouring out if it, humming an oddly sinister tune.
Well, what harm could there be in going ahead and trying it out anyway?

James Sunderland | Open
At least the District 3 stylist took pity on him this time around and dressed him into what he thought was a mage's outfit. It wasn't a coincidence that Vivi's strange ways influence the designs and for once, Sunderland didn't complain about it. His only issue had been what the Stylist replaced the staff with. Shoved into his hands was a harmless replica of the Great Knife...was the blood splatter really necessary? This is the blade that impaled Maria and that was screwed up.
He's found in the Herald's Rest, downing the third glass of bourbon and avoiding the Arena screens as best he could. "Oh God, I felt all that...goddammit, I'm gonna need more therapy after this," he groaned into his drink and kept his head down. The man is not a happy camper.

Ermac takes a seat near him, taking care to leave a seat between them. He might not be able to grasp why the man was so disturbed, but he could understand needing some space. It probably wouldn't help his stylist had decided to dress Ermac like a kind of executioner, though.

Ermac waves to the bartender and orders them both beer. James was indirectly responsible for his windfall, so it only made sense to share some of it.
"Yes. We have many new Sponsors. Panem natives do have a certain bloodlust to them, do they not?"
Not that bloodlust was an inherently bad trait, in his opinion. It just tended to be misdirected.
"The medics seem to have done some truly amazing work on you. We can't even see any scars."
no subject
Otherwise why reap so many different Tributes from different world. "I still don't know what I will be doing with what my reputation has gained me." He's not particularly enthused with the Miramutt ad that's shown up.
no subject
He raises a brow.
"Oh? You have gained a reputation?"
He's been rather busy with the attention he's been getting. Or rather, he's been busy isolating himself and hiding from said attention whenever possible. He was a warrior, not a celebrity. Where invaders, civil wars, supernatural foes, and actual monsters had failed to keep him indoors, the media had succeeded.
no subject
There was no respect or accountability here, was there.
"And now dying filleted and gutted. I'm pretty sure this," he pointed that Great Knife replica "is going to net me a sponsor that wants me to be cleaved or something." Pyramid Head kill him now.
