The Crowning of Albert Wesker

Who| Everyone in the Capitol.
What| The Crowning Ceremony
Where| The Victor's Complex
When| Day of the Crowning
Warnings/Notes| None yet.

The theme of the ceremony is clearly black and red. A crimson carpet stretches out across the room. The long table for feasting seems to be made of a single slab of dark obsidian, something that couldn't possibly be found in this size naturally. The chairs are wrought iron with red cushions, and embers burn under personal barbecues at each seat. Red wine, red juice, slabs of red meat to be cooked (or eaten raw) - the details are all perfected. Even some of the Avoxes have received black tattoos for the occasion, the number '11' permanently marking under their eyes like grotesque twin tears.

For a crowning, the ceremony is rather intimate. Only a handful of guests have been invited: the usual Capitol VIPs, the Mentors of each District, and a few of the stars of the last few Games. Karis Needleteeth, Aunamee, Dr. Alastor Grey, Alpha, Lindsey McDonald and Hyperion Crius each have a seat at the table. A few Peacekeepers sit off to the side, sipping wine. A few of the Mentors are conspicuously missing.

And Wesker's throne sits at the head of the table; it's made of the head of the dragon that destroyed so much of Disneyland and slaughtered so many Tributes. The head has been dried, the tongue replaced with a plush velvet seat and back the color of blood. The eyes have been replaced with glass that stares at each side of the room. The fangs, however, remain intact.

Downstairs, the rest of the Tributes and their Escorts and Stylists can partake in a more Disney-themed affair. Everything is still sleek, and tends to veer more towards Maleficent and Jafar then Cinderella and Ariel, but the punch bowl is Mickey Mouse-shaped. There's a dance floor, and a string quartet, and all sorts of lavish foods on tables with red cloth. It's a night for mingling, at least.

[OOC Note: Part one of this is going up tonight in the first two subthreads. Part two will be edited into the last two subthreads tomorrow evening; you'll see why. Go forth and mingle! Tributes from downstairs can go say hello to the Victor, although they won't get long before the Peacekeepers escort them back down.]

"Oh yeah -"

She fidgeted again. Damn dress. "Just didn't think this one through, did I? No wonder she were bloody grinnin'. I swear, it's the only time the woman's ever actually smiled at me."

Cal is, of course, referring to the stylist for District 8.

"The hell are you wearin'? Did they dress you in this? Did they not get the memo of what the victor was wearin'?"

"No." Deadpan. "You didn't."

Another person came up asking for his autograph. When he signed it, there was surprised 'oh' followed by a sheepish retreat from the celebrity seeker.

"I'm sure they got the memo. That was probably the point." At this, Jack crossed his arms. "Of course, the eye dye was maybe a bit over the top if you ask me. But I have no real reason to complain!"

She rolls her eyes when the autograph seeker wanders off again.

"You're such a tool. You're gettin' these idiots all excited an' they ain't here for you."

Why does Jack ALWAYS have to steal the limelight? He's such a douche.

"I hope that bloody dye is stingin'"

"This wasn't even my idea!" Jack huffed. "I just told them to put me in red and black and to make it look presentable!"

"And that's what you get for askin' the stylists for help." Calico snorts.

"Next time, come to me, okay? I'll dress you right."

She'll dress him as a clown and teach him a good, proper lesson.
