WHO| EVERYONE!
WHAT| A party. A big one. 1 is cheering Max on and going all out.
WHEN| The day before the end of the Games.
WHERE| All the open banquet rooms in the Training center.
NOTE| Party post tag in.

The acid rain theme was still going strong.

In the main banquet hall a light rain feel over the whole room. Tents and awning were set up all over, and each guest was given a clear umbrella, the handle and ribs lighting up a rainbow of colors.

Light caught the rain, turning it colors as it fell, and huge ice sculptures dotted the rooms, "dissolving" as the way ran over them. District 1 had decided, at least, to aim for abstract sculptures, feeling replicas of the tributes might go a bit too far.

The food was, as always, extravagant and over the top. Blues and greens, fruits, juices, and succulent seafood's.

And, as always, everyone who was anyone was there.

Comments

Tony reciprocates the handshake, nodding as he tries to recall any information he can remember about the man. It isn't much.

"Tony," he introduces himself and sips more at his own drink.

"And clearly I didn't fare much better," he makes a vague gesture to his own person. Wants to say something about the fact that the fact that he's attending a party themed after the very event that killed him seems a bit fucked up. But that probably doesn't need said. Or maybe he'll just say it later after a few more scotches and some time to get even more worked up of it.

[the_marshal]

Wyatt looked back over his shoulder, eyeing the party and its goers, whiskey in hand and halfway to his mouth.

"Oh, I don't know 'bout that... they did theme a whole shindig after you."

He glanced over at Tony, the tilt of his head and the bemused expression saying it all.

Yes sir, he was definitely going to need something stronger than whiskey. Or just lots more of it.

[nightlightheart]

"Yeah, I'm flattered," he says flatly and drains what remained of his drink. All he does is tap at the bar top and there is another drink ready for him in just a few moments.

"So. What's you're story, Stetson? Seems like most of us have some pretty interesting ones. What's yours? Cowboys and Indians? Brokeback Mountain? The Good The Bad The Ugly?"

[the_marshal]

Swallowing his second drink slowly, Wyatt blinked at Tony, most of what he said obviously lost on him.

Luckily, he was getting good at letting things like that slide by him.

"I'm from Kansas, if that's what yer askin," he said finally, setting his once again empty glass back on the bar. "Dodge City."

[nightlightheart]

"Ah, Kansas," Tony nods as if he should have expected that. Kind of did, just maybe not Kansas specifically. And as for Dodge City? Well, Tony knew where Kansas was, at least. "I've been there. Twice, I think. I have a few wind farms out there. Or did? Do? I'm not sure how that works exactly; the whole being pulled into another reality thing."

[the_marshal]

Wyatt's head tipped, looking thoughtful for a moment.

Windfarm... was that like a windmill?

"Couldn't say," he admitted. "I was last there in 1878, somethin' tells me you're a little later on."

Just a guess.

[nightlightheart]

"Whoa damn. 1878? Really?" Tony isn't sure why he's surprised. Its just one thing to hear about and another to be actually talking to the guy. "Yeah, that's a bit before my time."

"What is that even like?" Sure, he knows his history well enough, but that doesn't mean he can really imagine himself in a time when the most exciting thing around was a the light bulb.

[the_marshal]

"It's..." Wyatt glanced back at the bright lights, the flashy capital citizens. "Quieter."

Even on his busiest nights, the saloon got never got anything like this.

"Not to say we didn't have our troubles, but even the worst of them low-some cowboys wouldn't fathom anything like this."

And he didn't mean just the party.

sorry i am sloooooow D:

[nightlightheart]

Tony set to work on his fresh glass of scotch, and can't help but find himself agreeing with the man. "Yeah, I thought my time pretty was messed up, but we don't really hold a candle to these guys."

Re: Lol, you're fine, bb! :D

[the_marshal]

For a moment Wyatt was afraid to ask - thus far every place he'd heard, every future he learned about, was more assed than the last - but curiosity eventually won out.

"Where are you from?"

The when being implied he imagined.

<33333

[nightlightheart]

"New York, mostly," Tony says with a shrug, but hardly so much as pauses before he continues. "You know what is frustrating? I was about to put the finishing touches on my brand new building. Do you know how many building permits I had to get to re-purpose a Manhattan high-rise? I hate paperwork. Quite passionately. I guess that's one nice thing about this...charming place," Tony waves his hands in the air as if his sarcasm needed punctuating. "I haven't had to sign anything."

Re: <33333

[the_marshal]

Wyatt's brows quirked and his lips twitched in amusement.

"Sounds like you do mighty important work."

Re: <33333

[nightlightheart]

"Sometimes," Tony says with a shrug. "Well, most of the time. Yes. Important is good word." He raises his glass and drinks again. Before all this, he was trying to, but it's taken a little bit of adjusting.

"What is it that you do again? Is cowboy a legitimate job description?"

Re: <33333

[the_marshal]

Wyatt put down his glass, a confused frown pulling at his mouth.

"Why does everyone keep callin' me that?" he asked. "I'm Wyatt Earp, a U.S. Marshal; I ain't no mangy cowboy."

[nightlightheart]

"Time-gap, probably," Tony offers, because hell if he knows. If it walks like a cowboy and talks like a cowboy....

Not that he's actually ever dealt with one beyond dinner parties with Clint Eastwood.

"I'd blame Hollywood."

"Do they even have a Hollywood here? Like, movies and stuff. For once, I would like to watch something on television that isn't live death matches."

[the_marshal]

Wyatt just looked at him.

"What's a movie?"

And 'Hollywood' too for that matter.

[nightlightheart]

Ah yes, time-gap thing. Right.

"Motion pictures. Stories, on screens, like these," he gestures to the screens around them still airing the Games. He catches a glimpse of Max again, and smiles slightly despite himself. "Without all the actual dying."

[the_marshal]

He glanced at the screen, then back again. "So a play. We do - or did, I 'spose - have those."

He may not have seen as many of Dora's performances as he'd have liked, but he had managed to take in a few.

[nightlightheart]

"A play. Yes. Exactly," Tony nods and raises his glass in a congratulatory toast then sips at his drink after toasting nothing but air. "They should have more of those around here, probably. Haven't heard about a single one since I've arrived."

[the_marshal]

"What would they be about, I wonder," Wyatt said conversationally after a moment's thought on the matter. He nodded at the screen, "Seein' as that's how they have fun and all."

Or most of them, at any rate. Somehow he figured that red-headed woman would some much more noble, if just as wrong, name for it.

He sighed, motioning to the barkeep with a quick gesture of his hand. "Somehow I 'spect even if was something you wanted to see they wouldn't let ya. Too much 'trainin' to do, er too many 'events to attend.'"

[nightlightheart]

Tony just shrugs at that. "I think, if I really wanted to, I could manage a way. But you may have a point about the content. If this is their average every day television... man, I bet there is some kinky business around here."


He's pretty certain about that, even though he's not yet taken the time to look into it. Not sure he wants to, and he's pretty sure that's saying something. A lot.

[the_marshal]

Wyatt snorted and gave a bemused sort of shake of his head.

"I think I'll stick to cards, myself."

[nightlightheart]

"You a poker man?" Tony takes a stab in the dark.

[the_marshal]

"Among other things," he replied. "I had a keno table back in Dodge."

He nodded at Tony. "You?"

There may have been a small thread of hope buried in there. What he wouldn't give for good ol' fashioned game of cards.

[nightlightheart]

Tony grins wide, full of teeth and charm, "Are you kidding? Man, I can't even count the amount of times I have been to Las Vegas. Poker, blackjack hell, even keno; get me a good cigar and a bottle of Jack Daniels and you have yourself good time in the making right there."

If that didn't sound a hell of a lot better than this stupid ass acid rain themed party, he didn't know what did.
