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.]

"Getting caught is always bad."

It's unlikely Eponine's ever seen Parker this serious.

"Then they know to watch. They can use you. Don't be used."
gardienne: (come on)

"Madame, for now they will be watching me. I am sorry."

They had told her as much. But Eponine didn't have a great sense of personal danger, especially where Marius was concerned, and she shrugged now. She was in trouble. They knew it. She knew it. And they'd kill her if they caught her acting out. And Eponine didn't want to get Parker into trouble.
whosalicewhite: (Wait a minute)

Trouble: Parker's usually in that, but it's the whole caught and punishment thing she's not going to tolerate.

"We need to get you out of trouble."

Unfortunately, she can only think of one way. "Which is do what they say. That SUCKS."
gardienne: (shy triumphant smile)

"And you do not think that I thought of that too, Madame?" Eponine chuckles her rasping laugh. "I am not as stupid as I look. I have brains too, you know? I know I must behave well - and I will. Unless they will be hurt. Then I will do as I must. But I do not want to die here. I have had enough of death."

"Didn't think you're stupid. I wouldn't talk to you if you were."

Seriously, she would've dismissed her as a terrible thief, an embarrassment to the title, and moved on.

"And I don't want you dead either." Did she say that? Sometimes, she's not so sure what's in her head and what's real.

gardienne: (happy)

Sorry - I was on holiday

Eponine grinned.

"I am glad you think like that, Madame. It is nice to have one person who does not want me dead."

"If you know people who want you dead, find better people."

Parker found better people, but Eliot's in the other arena.

"But don't die. Maybe we'll win."
gardienne: (smirk/ wondering)

She laughs.

"We cannot both win, Madame. You will win over me - me, I am already starving this time. I have not had time to eat, you see? I am unhealthy."

As if to prove the point, she coughs her harsh, chesty cough.

"You will win, and then you may help me win the next time, yes?"
whosalicewhite: (No plotting here)

"Too many rules in a fight to the death game."

Still, it's a reasonable suggestion. If Parker wins, she won't have to go back, and can send those ridiculous presents to people. Would Eponine know what to do with C4? Is it allowed?

Wait, Parker doesn't care if it's allowed.

"Deal."
