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.]

Eliot's face darkens a bit as she talks about Montparnasse. "I'm glad he's not here," is all he says about that, though. She deserves better.

"You or one of the other kids. Parker. My brother. Anna."

She grins. "As I am, Sir. He would eat Howard alive and slit Valeria's throat. He is not a nice man - but perhaps he would help me in the arena."

She laughs at who he wants to win. "I will not win, Sir. But perhaps Parker - she is nice, you know? At the party with Timaeus, she let me wear her princess dress - and we took golden doorknobs, Sir. I do not know Anna though - but if you say that she is to win, then I believe you. But me - I shall help Marius to win - and Howard."

He's not surprised at Parker's antics. His thief has a soft spot for young girls like Eponine. "She's like a little sister," he says quietly. "I wish I could send her home. She's not made for places like this. She's too naive." He has no better way to explain it to Eponine. "I don't know Marius yet." Even if they're in the same District. "But Howard... I wouldn't mind seein' him win."
