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.]

"Okay. You're right," Blaine said, calming them both down as the stopped moving and held up his hands in a way that showed that he wasn't going to push it. "It was probably just a bad first impression. I'll try to be open minded when I see him in my District suite. It's also totally not my place to judge your friendship. I trust you if you say you're safe."

Ian for his part stuck his hands in his pockets and looked down. Even if Blaine sounded like something out of some creepy group therapy cult the intention behind the words was appreciated.

"Yeah, thanks."

Blaine stepped back a bit. "Thank you for the dance," he said. "I hope next time I won't mess up and insult your friend," he added. In an attempt to add some humor into the situation, his voice was lighter.

"Yeah, thanks." He shrugged and forced himself to smile, "Sorry for snapping, hopefully see you around?"

Blaine nodded and offered Ian a more sincere smile. "I will. You enjoy the party." And then he pulled away, giving Ian space.

"Thanks, you too." He nodded to him and wandered off, in search of food, or alcohol.
