The Tribute Parade & Caesar Flickerman Show!

[etcircenses]

For the first time, you're all about to get a taste of what the true Hunger Games are like. Since the quell began, there have been a lot of new and interesting events and showings to match that of the Capitol's new guests. But now, for the fifteenth arena of the seventy fifth quater quell, it's time to call back to the roots of the Games to remind our Tributes and us all what these Games really mean.

For the first time in the quell, all of you Tributes will be participating in the pre-arena chariot rides, hearing President Snow's speech, sitting down for the Caesar Flickerman show, and witnessing a very special surprise that may change how you view this next arena.

You will learn more about your Districts than you've gotten to thus far, and moreover, you will show how YOU as a Tribute, have come to represent your chosen District, as a person, the District's service, and the District's key trait and value. Key values are as follows:

1 ~ Luxury ~ Loyalty
2 ~ Masonry ~ Allegiance
3 ~ Electronics ~ Qualification
4 ~ Fishing ~ Endurance
5 ~ Power ~ Strength
6 ~ Transportation ~ Unity
7 ~ Lumber ~ Courage
8 ~ Textiles ~ Duty
9 ~ Grain ~ Commitment
10 ~ Livestock ~ Compliance
11 ~ Agriculture ~ Service
12 ~ Mining ~ Obedience
You will all ride out upon matching chariots for the Tribute Parade, Panem's anthem playing loud and fans screaming louder. This is your first chance to make a statement to sponsors. Rumors have it that there will be a later voting poll where the winning District or Districts will recieve special reward. Voting will be based of a rubric of:

-Most exemplary of District
-Best Tribute performance (putting on a good show)
-Best outfit
-Best in Parade
And of course, there will be a prize not only to the Tributes but to the District itself!


Escorts, it will be your job to make sure your Tributes are appealing to Capitol audiences You will need to help them prepare for this glorious event. Mentors, you will need to use your experience to help in ways just the same, both working to get you sponsors and give you the best chance in arena. Stylists, of course, will be responsible for the outfits made and worn.

More rumors tell of a secondary voting round where individual tributes will get a chance at receiving help from a very generous sponsor, following the Caesar Interviews.

Remember this is your chance to make a statement. It can mean the difference between life and death in the arena, and also, the difference between peace... or rebellion. All the world will be watching.



[OOC: If your characters choose to rebel, there will be consequences and ripple effects that carry through the rest of the game. Escorts, Mentors, Stylists, and other staff may be at risk of torture, avoxing, or even execution. Rescue will need to be arranged unless these consequences are fine with you. Tributes may be met with these or any number of other punishments.

On the flip side, chosing to be pro-capitol or pro-rebellion now will have lasting effects on the Game's outcome.

Choose wisely. Afterall, the Games are just games. Would you like to see what a real war is?

~~~

You are getting the chance to plan early. The final decisions post will be on August 24th at which point voting will open. The voting will close August 31st for the Chariot winners. The IC parade will not be occurring until September 13th.

It looks as though AU Steve and Psii are going in one chariot, so Sayaka and Daryl could go in another as a pair?

She'll be wearing this with a matching crown - I went with the south asian theme too.

[weaintashes]

Sounds good to me! And I'm down with each D9er wearing a crown if you guys want to do that, it's a nice way to tie all their outfits together. I really like your choices, too.

I found this in my sherwani search, it would fit the grain-theme rather nicely as well, if you're interested. Just another idea. :>

[alittleknightmusic]

Yeah! Crowns for everyone!

Aw, that dress is really nice, but it's orange and Sayaka has blue hair and it would clash quite a bit >: I was looking at that green one you found though, and there's a matching one here! It even has grain patterns, so maybe we could use that instead.

[weaintashes]

No worries! Miso has a good point about chariot outfits following a theme, so for the sake of keeping D9's a bit more coordinated, let's go with your first choice. I found a full view of it for better reference. I'll try to hunt down a sherwani that will hopefully match it well enough without overpowering it.

[weaintashes]

This shows the dress detail, it has a lot of pretty silver/copper/gold accents. I found a jacket that matches elements of the dress (I'd just handwave it being wheat-coloured instead of ivory :v), or this that even looks grain-ish if you squint. Shame I can't seem to find a jacket with a more similar design.

[alittleknightmusic]

Oh my god, how did you find all those? Those jackets are perfect, too! The second one really matches.
