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.]

"Someone got to her... blackmail maybe? Or plain greed?" Sorry not helping much. He chuckled at the bear. "Naw, looks like you need the comfort. If we had the stuff up here I'd make hot chocolate, think all of us could use some."

"This was my best damn kill in the whole arena. And it were asleep." Calico hugged the skin back around her. She hadn't grown much, height wise, since she was fourteen, and she still fit rather nicely beneath it.

She shook her head as he offered Eva excuses. "She wouldn't... not for blackmail. She's stronger than that, Eva. She wouldn't go for it. She's just a DAMN Capitol mole and I'm a damn fool for not seeing it sooner. Sod the hot chocolate. Find me some wine, love."

Alcohol. Sweet nectar that had got her in trouble before, that she had avoided since. But she needed the relief. She needed to forget.

"And without a gun, not bad. See you are dangerous, remind me never to really piss you off Cal." He smiled a little at her.

"Hey everyone can get blinded. The cap... I mean Wesker I know from home, I'm pretty sure he's the one that slammed the door on my face when we were chased by the..." He shook his head, he still wasn't sure what to call them, but they had eaten Bravo team... The dogs." And no way was he describing them, she didn't need those added to what ever nightmares she'd have.

"How about we screw the wine. I have a bottle of whiskey, this... is more a whiskey night than wine." He stood. "I'll get it, we have cups around."

Didn't take him long to get the half empty bottle and two cups.

She grinned back, just briefly. "You never know - I could have your skin hanging up in my room too."

She sat up eagerly at the mention of whiskey.

"You are BRILLIANT, my lovely. I've been dying for a drink since I got out - and not a single drop have I touched - I've been so damn good, but it's nearly killed me! Gimme gimme GIMME!"

"Aw come now, wouldn't you prefer me as is?"

Chris chuckled at her antics and handed over the mug with the alcohol in it. "Here ya go." He took a seat on the coffee table in front of the sofa pouring himself some.

"So, whatcha think'll happen? Seems to have settled down some."

She raised the mug to her lips and downed it in a few gulps. Smacking her lops appreciatively, she grinned.

"Man, I needed that. I've been so good."

But she sobered up at his question.

"You wanna know?" She traced her finger around the edge of the mug. "I think I'm gonna be needin' a bit more of the stiff stuff first, love."

He poured her a bit more.

"Not really, just, something like this happen before? Though get a feeling the half bottle's not gonna be enough."
