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.]

"If I'm not very much mistaken, we are in America now." Or at least, that was how it appeared from the limited history books and maps he'd been able to scrounge for in the Capitol. They weren't overly interested in the geography of their world, and, to be honest, neither was he, but Enjolras liked to think he could at least recognize the shapes of the continents when they were presented to him.

"It is far away from Paris, though, and so I thought I might never get the chance to see it for myself."

"I did be thinking we did be being in Panem." She wrinkled her nose. "Do this be being your world then?"

"I think, perhaps." It probably was, but lingering on that thought was uncomfortable to him and there was no reason she needed to know his thoughts on being tossed forward centuries in time. "As I said, though, it's very far away from Paris. Very different, as well."
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

"It do be being very different from Gauig as well, and much more stupider."

"Agreed, Mademoiselle. Agreed." Which perhaps wasn't the most open-minded of judgments, but while he prided himself on acceptance of diversity, Enjolras was perfectly alright with rejecting tyranny in all of its many shapes and sizes.

"But we will be getting back, don't you be worrying." There weren't many Pruna would bother to save, but she thought this man might be one of them. he was one of the least stupid people she had met so far.

"Oh, I have no worries about that." He would do his best to protect her too, given the opportunity. He just hoped the Arenas wouldn't come to that.

She just grinned at that. "I do be wishing you luck then, and I will be seeing you again I do be thinking."

"To you as well, Pruna. I hope we do have the chance to see each other again." Just, under the correct circumstances.

"I do be hoping that too!" She grinned again before turning to go and find someone else interesting to talk to.
