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.]

"No," Other people might say exactly, but Parker has different standards.

"I don't want to kill Eliot when I see him. I always want to kill Lindsey."

They differ in gut reactions.

"Oh." She wonders how that works, if they're supposed to look the same. "How else do you tell them apart?" she asked, a little confused. She couldn't really imagine such a gut wrenching reaction, in honest. Except maybe when she saw her sister. That was love, though, not hate.
whosalicewhite: (Eliot whatever)

"I just know it." It's the truth. She looks at Lindsey and sees Lindsey. Only for that brief time in the first arena, when she didn't know of Lindsey's existence, was she confused. Even then, she knew something was wrong. For someone as impulsive as Parker, gut reactions are a way of life.

And Parker loves Eliot, in her own, twisted sibling-esque way.

Now, Parker has to think like she isn't Parker, which is difficult, given she's Parker. "Shorter hair?" It's a question as it doesn't factor into things, for her, "and he looks weaker."

"...You must spend a lot of time with them," she said, thinking on what Parker had said. It didn't make a lot of sense to her, really. She did't get how someone could want to jut hurt someone else.

She supposes maybe she'd recognize Katniss, or Buttercup, or Lady...

"Not with Lindsey. Not a good idea. Eliot'd get mad."

She thins her lips and nods her head, she can all but hear the dammit, Parker.
andproper: (what is it?)

Re: Oops. >,>

"Why would he be mad?" she demanded, not liking the sound of that. "Aren't you the one who doesn't like her?"
whosalicewhite: (Eliot)

There's a snort of laughter. "Lindsey's a guy. Eliot's twin."

Although: "I don't really believe that. Lindsey's too awful, unless he's Eliot's evil twin."

Oh. Right.

"...I've never heard of a man called Lindsey," she admitted.
