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.]

That question gets a bit of silence out of her. She turns her head a bit, as one might do to glance around the room. Then she gives a shrug, and a closed smile.

"It's not really my place to say."

"I see. Well, I wonder if you'd want to take over Panem anyway. We're a small country in a broken world."

"If we did, it definitely wouldn't be for the people!"

Humans aren't exactly slave material by Alternian standards. Terezi could estimate that they would probably be listed as "expendable", but even she knows when to spare the bluntness.

"How is your world broken?"

"Oh. Do you have much experience with the world called Earth?" he asked. "Because we used to be more than just one single nation. War tore apart the world and Panem is all that is left."

"I know of Earth! But the last time I heard of it, there was a lot of people and a lot of nations and a lot of really weird things." She's a little surprised to hear of this war. As far as she heard from Dave, there was nothing like that in his timeline. She can only assume that this must be some sort of splintered timeline, though doomed or not remains to be seen.

"You did manage to create orange creamsicles, though, so at least you were a civilized society. Let credit be given where credit is due, etc etc." In her opinion, orange creamsicles deserve a lot of create. They're pretty damn amazing.

"Why was there a war in the first place?"

Cinna shrugged. "Why is there ever a war?"
