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.]

"I'd be more pleased if the understanding ends in an ax for the next game," she said, face breaking out into a wicked grin.

His teeth flashed, white and strong.

A shark's grin.

"Noted, Miss Greyjoy."

"I'm a woman wed," she said automatically, as if commenting on the weather. "Though I prefer my lord ax to my lord husband."

"Wise," he nodded, caring very little as to her martial status. "As the former is what you'll be needing to worry about in the arena, not the latter."
doesnotsew: (now you gotta kick the guy)

"Fear not, as I've never worried for him and won't start now." She had when it was her ax that was her only husband, but the flesh-and-blood one put a stop to that nickname.

Fear was not the word he would have chosen, whether or not she allowed her emotions to get the best of her would matter little to him.

But he did rather like the idea of having a tribute who could do what needed to be done without getting tangled up in all that right and wrong, morality nonsense.

"Good." Another nod, a quick elegant bob of approval, before he began to turn away again, attention returning to the commotion beyond the glass. The conversation, at least for him, seeming to reach it's natural end. "Perhaps District 11 will have soon have another victor to celebrate."
doesnotsew: (but he don't hear so well)

She was finding here that her perspective towards killing didn't match up with anyone else's; they were all either entirely against it or having no qualms at all. It was the same feeling she got with regards to how the others looked on the arena they were in.

She smiled at his reflection, inclining her head forward in a lazy stab at a bow back. "I'll have better drinks."

And with that, she slunk off towards her own room.

He could only hope.

They all tasted like ash to him.
