𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴'𝚂 𝙰𝙻𝚆𝙰𝚈𝚂 𝙰 𝙵𝙻𝙰𝚆 𝙸𝙽 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝚈𝚂𝚃𝙴𝙼. loyalty is something fragile as the white roses decorating snow's mansion. it begins with the party, where champagne flows and music sways its guests across the floor. laughter and food, dazzling smiles upon beautiful faces. this is what they are used to, and it's what most of our victors will never learn to stomach.
missions are given, the sleeper cell awakens. HANI JANG, SAGE HAYASHI AND PRUDENCE WARREN are to be lookout, tiny ear pieces installed in our team's ears whisper to one another the status of the peacekeepers within the vicinity. they are to be quiet, discreet as they linger, tailing their targets and keeping a low profile. easier said than done?
TOBIAS SNOW is to remain close to the president at all times, and to ensure that the door to his private office is unlocked and accessible to his team. FINCH DELVAL is to stick close to his side should danger arise. LAVINIA SNOW is to escort HONORE COIN to said office, to allow him access and to be ready to spring into action should they be spotted. they are to be disguised as a pair of drunken lovers slipping away for quiet time should an interruption arise. whilst LAVINIA keeps watch by the door, HONORE is to install a data spike on snow's computer which will share important files back to district 13 — capitol propaganda, surveillance, footage of executions, all damning and incredibly important.
LIVIA PLINTH, LIBRA RIVEIRA and HELBOR UNDERSAND (npc) will plant listening devices throughout the mansion, slipping within its hallways and around corners, dropping the minuscule devices along the way.
all going to plan, the mission will provide district 13 with the access it needs to snow's data points… but it doesn't. of course it doesn't.
there is a traitor in our midst, a rebel turncoat who attempts to reach snow as he breaks away for a bathroom visit. a warning is offered to the old man via note slipped past FINCH and TOBIAS and into the president's smooth hands. they must find a way to get rid of this traitor discreetly, without blowing their cover and shutting him up before he can reveal the names of the rebels. word is given between ear pieces that the mission is to be aborted. before HONORE can confirm or deny the success of planting the data spike, a gunshot rings out throughout the channels. in trembling voices, the rebels all check in with one another. all but HELBOR who is later confirmed dead by LIBRA.
it is quiet, controlled chaos. the rebels rushing to return to the party whilst holding their covers, keeping their emotions in check despite having just lost a comrade. back to the ignorance and the dancing, the laughter sparkling like the drops of diamonds hanging from the chandeliers. snow must make a move before anyone catches wind of something going awry. we see it as the president clinks a fork against his glass, pulling the attention back to himself. he is unruffled despite it all, smiling as he announces a special surprise.
the lights dim, and screens flicker to life around the room. there he is, the beloved CAESAR FLICKERMAN is standing upon that familiar stage, announcing to the world that this particular hunger games is due to be a special one, indeed. this hunger games, which will honour coriolanus snow, will see that the pool of tributes are to be reaped from the existing pool of victors.
silence. it feels as though our victors' stomachs drop as it all settles in. and then, applause. the capitolites are practically gleeful, some of them even reaching out to shake our victors' hands in their congratulations, exclaiming that this will be the best games ever. above it all, is president snow, watching.
in a final moment, caesar's face distorts and the screens cut to black. a cold, steady voice announces “this is a pirate transmission with a message from the districts. the mockingjays live.”
the lights cut out, and the party is over. peacekeepers rush the confused guests from the party, urging them back into the city where our victors return to their lodgings, capitolites to their homes. a sense of danger settles over the city, but beneath it, there is a feeling of hope.
we are now progressing to the moment that our victors find out they are to be reaped for this year's hunger games! feel free to continue threads from part one of the event, to also write threads during and after the events, including your muses back home in their districts if you wish. please don't progress writing to the reaping as this will come in our next plotdrop!
muns writing within the rebel mission, feel free to headcanon or write out what happened! please dm the main for anything major you wish to happen to your muses during the mission!

closed starter for @likeallfires, TOBIAS SNOW + FINCH DELVAL. during rebel mission.
FINCH IS TRYING TO BE COOPERATIVE. It's not exactly a skill in their wheelhouse, being a team player. Much less with a Snow. Their nature is to distrust -- especially those who have benefited from their lineage and the silver spoon in their mouth. Forgive them for being skeptical. But still -- cooperative. Easier said than done, especially when most of their own actions of rebellion are born of a hatred so bone-deep they can taste the sinew, not of deliberate and calculated movements.
They weren't naive enough to expect to survive any sort of rebellion, to see any change within their lifetime. They certainly weren't gullible enough to believe it was going to be so easy -- they've spent thirty-six years on this Earth clawing and biting their way to survive. It's not lost on Finch that there would be no peace and change if District did not learn to trust Capitolite, that Finch would need to trust the Snow kid. Unfortunately, it would be a cold day in Hell before that happened.
But they had to act nice, at least.
For Finch, acting nice was saying not much at all, really. They had a tendency to come off as rude. Or so they're told, anyway. "He's been gone for a while. Shouldn't you go, I dunno, check on him?" Their voice is kept low even as they converse with Tobias through the headset, arms crossed as they lean against a nearby wall close to him.

OPEN STARTER | CAPPED. ( 3 / 3 )
finch was upset.
there was rarely a time when finch wasn't upset -- but tonight more so. the scores felt like bullshit, the outfits made their eyes hurt and the grating laughter was enough to make them want to scream so loud it would drown out the awful music playing. unlike any other time, finch could not draw any more attention to themself than there already was. to top it all off -- they'd lost lark in the crowd.
the kid did whatever he wanted anyway, and they're he'll turn up later in the night to tell finch some random lore he found out about one of the other districts or something. lark was good for that -- he was smart. smarter than finch, exactly like wren. that fourteen-year-old has more of a shot of making it out of here than finch ever did. maybe he'd charm himself up some sponsors -- god knows finch would hardly be able to to that themself. the interviews were soon. they'd have to talk to caesar again.
yeah, they were fucking upset.
"if the other ten clusters of people didn't include you in their conversation, i certainly hope you won't expect any from me." they warn, feeling someone sit next to them. that was unusual. no one sat next to them unless they were forced. finch turns to face them with a slight brow raise, expectant and waiting. the look on their face was clear. what do you want from me?

open to everyone .
they feel shaken , because finally , plutarch has shown them what is in store for the tributes entering the arena . fulvia has lived in this city her entire life , but this is another level up that none of them could possibly expect . she has to remind herself to swallow down the excitement which she was raised on her , years of tradition being deprogrammed from her mind is something she still struggles with .
" can you believe this ? " they ask , their sleepy eyes wide in the dimness of the party , music tinkling like glitter in their ears . " i've never seen so many high scores in one games . it's going to be a good year , i can tell . "

tw: alcohol, knife, mentions of blood, guns & death
the night was winding down, or perhaps it was early morning. arachne wasn’t sure. she didn’t care. almost two bottles of wine warming her stomach. she had not a care in the world. not now at least. four hours ago? two bottles ago? one death flashing through her mind - gun to a head, blood spewed across the cameras and down heath’s forehead - had turned to another - Justice, his blood on her hands, his sky blue eyes staring up at her as he gasped for breath, his canon seeming to echo that of the gun that had killed heath - and then another - clove, her aunt, held aloft against the cornucopia by the boy from eleven, the girl from twelve (the girl Arachne had shot a deadly look from across the party just seconds before ordering her fourth glass of wine) scrambling away, the girl from two screaming for her district partner, a rock causing the canon this time, another canon to echo the gunshots.
they’d all been chased away. the first bottle drowning out the fine details. the second wiping them all from memory - for now.
now she felt giddy. giddy and impulsive. her fingers withdrew the butterfly knife - the very same that had ended not one but six lives - from the pocket of the flannel she’d snuck into the bar much to her stylist’s disdain. a simple flick of her wrist had the blade exposed. hand placed on the bartop, she looked up as someone approached. “wanna see a party trick?” her words were more than a little slurred and she giggled afterward, splaying her fingers wide over the smooth wood surface.

EVENT 001 . THE TRIBUTE BALL .
annie wears an ivory corset with real pearls and seashells sewn into the bodice. a pleated skirt is tied at her hip and extends onto the floor, well past her feet. her face, collarbone, and arms are covered in delicate pearls. they also have a delicate beaded headpiece that sways while they walk. otherwise, their makeup is simple and dewy, and they look as if they’ve just emerged from the sea.

"wasn't waving it about." she huffed as she settled back into her seat, hands dug deep into the pockets of her flannel and held around herself. petulance at it's best written across her surly features.
her eyes flickered around them, taking in everyone around for a moment. "while you think you're saving my life," and maybe he was, not that she'd admit to caring, or even contemplate thanking him, "you're over here blabbing about how useless the Capitol is and how barbarous the rules are. that sounds an awful lot like thoughts these rebels I've been hearing about might have. I could just as easily turn you in for those words and we could both go together. sounds like alot of fun to me."
“You bring a weapon into a party, wave it about and you, with or without intention, threaten every life that is useless to the Capitol in this very room. They’re always watching - here in this very room, out among the streets, the training centre, perhaps, even in the halls of our apartments.” Graham’s tone is condescending in a feigned way that could be mistaken by passersby as arrogance but he hoped that she understood the undertone. Nobody else would die tonight for a slip up.
“Forgive me, but I highly doubt they would simply arrest you. In my experience, they seem to -” The victor cuts himself off. “Well, they seem to take every act out of the ordinary as defiance and react according to the barbarous rules they’ve created. You’re welcome for saving your life though - a thank-you would suffice.”

𝚆𝙴𝙻𝙻, 𝙰𝚂 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚈 𝚂𝙰𝙸𝙳, 𝙸𝚃'𝚂 𝙽𝙾𝚃 𝙾𝚅𝙴𝚁 𝚄𝙽𝚃𝙸𝙻 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙼𝙾𝙲𝙺𝙸𝙽𝙶𝙹𝙰𝚈 𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂. a day to celebrate has dawned upon panem. it's been a long run for our great president — seventy seven years as the ruler of this country and still he stands strong. how does he remain such a sturdy pillar of health? we all wonder it as he approaches the day of his hundredth birthday, as great excitement sparkles in the air of the capitol. rumours are whispered across the city as they wonder what the president has in store for such a momentous occasion. surely there will be parties worthy only of snow, extravagant shows of the president's strength and power, to remind us all of why it is he remains panem's longest running president. as he takes to the podium, the capitol holds its breath. though he is ready to turn a hundred, coriolanus snow looks barely a day over seventy. white haired, bright eyed, his cheeks flushed with vitality; he is the perfect picture of health, of strength. at last, it is confirmed that the victors of panem will all be in the capitol for a week of celebrations all over the city. alongside a program of events, the week will be a public holiday for all capitol citizens and the bars and restaurants are likely to be packed with parties. and whilst it all happens, a sleeper cell awakens in the city. they've been awaiting a moment to strike, and when better than during the largest celebration in the country? when they will be invited beyond the very walls of president snow's mansion? those living undercover receive word from district thirteen that the time to ready themselves has come, to be present at every event of the president's birthday week and to await further instructions. it is clear, as those who have waited patiently, built lives for years within the capitol ready themselves, that it isn't just those expectant of lavish parties who are excited most excited for what's to come.
the event program is as follows:
the parade of panem which sees the city square decked out for a massive parade featuring floats depicting major events throughout panem's history from the defeat of the rebels to the first hunger games and to snow's inauguration. the story of snow will invite you to the city centre where an exhibition is erected in honour of president snow. a documentary telling the story of his life and rise to power is shown throughout the day, you can visit his childhood home and sit at the very desk he studied at within the university. soon, you will feel as close to snow as his own family! the exhibition of the hunger games sees a massive arena open to all. here, you can walk around segments of previous games and relive famous moments of the games. why not experience the flooding of annie's arena? or maybe perch on a rock and watch as katniss and peeta's love story unfolds in the cave. this experience is so immersive, you'll never want to leave! the presidential party will bring you beyond the gates of president snow's mansion. should you be lucky enough to receive an invite, you may walk the grounds with a glass of champagne in hand, viewing stunning artwork honouring the president. within the party itself is stunning food, lavish gowns, and live music to sway the night away to, all watched over by our great leader.
and the fun doesn't stop there, because rumour has it, caesar flickerman will have a surprise announcement for us very, very soon!
OOC INFORMATION
we will be open for in character threads from friday 16th may at 8pm gmt.
this event takes place in the days before caesar flickerman announces the special games, so your muses will have no idea of what's to come. allow them their blissful ignorance before the announcement is made on the main following the event!
for the final party at snow's mansion, if your muse wouldn't have a reason to be at this party, agents within the capitol will ensure an invite reaches your muse.
you do not have to rp threads only during the event program, you can also have threads attending parties, in your rebel muses homes, etc!
if you have any questions, feel free to reach out in the #questions channel of the discord!

OPEN STARTER | CAPPED. ( 3 / 3 )
maxim has been to this mansion before; his father and seneca dragged them all along to dinner parties and events such as this growing up. he doesn't remember much except that he didn't like it because of how strict it was. he'd try to scheme and find a way to snoop around but his father kept a close eye on him -- maxim was too young to realize he could have gotten himself killed for being somewhere he wasn't supposed to be.
so tonight, maxim abides by those rules learned from boyhood strictly -- he has a drink in his hand and sticks to the crowds. he's on edge tonight for a reason he can't name, so he chalks it up to being in this mansion after so long, after all that's happened. so he has to work a little harder to maintain the charming front that everyone always seems so drawn to, but he must be doing a decent job because no one seems any wiser to it. he turns to a familiar face, smiling warmly and offering a drink and leaning in slightly as if it were a secret between the two of them. "there's a reason everyone's drawn to the bar tonight -- they're free, take as much as you can. here."

she had already been feeling queasy , her stomach tightened and knotted itself , the evidence of her pregnancy demanding her attention in the form of nausea , and to watch what happened on that screen had tipped her directly over the edge . she runs , pushes past cain , their baby sister , and barricades herself in the bathroom where mina empties the contents of her stomach once , twice , three times over . she is sobbing , and it replays over , and over in her head . their faces , the grim acceptance in their eyes and just the tiniest hint of fear . they wouldn't be here , would never have gotten this far without them and now they're gone , destroyed by the capitol like everything else is . she hears a knock on the door and attempts to pull herself together , but she is shaking and clammy as she lets herself back into the stables and away from the privacy of the toilets . " sorry i — i needed a moment . "

"no, I don't think we've seen any party tricks tonight." she muttered, lightly tapping the point of her knife against the table between each of her fingers. fine - she'd just entertain herself then. it wasn't like anyone here was interesting, at least not at this point in the night. tributes had begun to filter away and with them went the sponsors as they lost interest. it was only a matter of time before arachne herself found her way back up to the district two floor.
the point of her blade embedded itself in the top of the table before she turned narrowed eyes on him. "you'd like that wouldn't you?" still though her eyes flickered around. "not like I'm planning to hurt anyone. besides, if they didn't want me to have it they shouldn't have let me keep it."
six years past the peacekeeper role and marcus couldn’t seem to shake the feeling of guilt off of his shoulders . it wasn’t enough to keep him weighed down , to stop him from moving forward when it felt like everything was moving in the opposite direction . he had to trust in the rebels , but heath ovalson ? god , heath was supposed to be the safest one out of everyone . he was grateful for the switch from peacekeeper to trainer , otherwise it might have been his bullet going through heath’s head earlier that night . the video kept cycling through his mind , like a movie left on repeat with broken reels – same scene , same violence .
pad of his index finger drug around the rim of his glass slowly as he remained in the shadows against the wall . it was unusual for his posture to falter in the presence of others , but the party was dying down now. unfortunately for him , that meant there were very few people he was able to avoid at such an hour . including arachne kentwell . “ think we’ve seen enough of those for tonight . ” marcus wasn’t exactly a man of many words to begin with , but it was a clear representation of his irritation . he hadn’t even glanced her way , glass being pushed forward upon his return to the counter , to be filled once more before he was inclined to give up for the rest of the night . palms fell flat against the surface as he waited , shoulders hunched just slightly now . “ you’re lucky they don’t shoot you next for smuggling weapons into a party . ”

ᴡʜᴏ: AURELIA CROSS & OPEN ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ: BAR, TRIBUTE TOWER ᴡʜᴇɴ: EVENING, POST TRIBUTE PARADE
tw: blood, murder, alcohol & gun violence
Three of them, forced to their knees. Aurelia tips back a shot of something bitter. Guns pressed against the back of their heads. Another shot. The gasps of those around her – blood trickling slowly from the wounds. A third, for good luck. The party rages on around her – blissful Capitolites none the wiser to what has just transpired. Aurelia, however, can't seem to clear the image from her mind. For someone so accustomed to death and violence, it is unsettling how much this has affected her.
Maybe because, for someone with no knowledge of the rebellion stirring just below the surface, the murders had seemed so senseless. Maybe it's because seeing three victors be gunned down in quick succession had reminded her that she's not as untouchable as she thought.
Ordinarily, Aurelia Cross was the life of the party. Beautiful, young, charismatic – the Capitol citizens generally flocked to her, eyeing her fashion, her facial expressions – dissecting her like a science experiment. Ordinarily, she enjoyed it. Enjoyed being the centre of attention – holding them at the tip of her fingers. Tonight, she wishes she could be left alone – and so she finds herself sitting off to the side of the room, lost in thought.
Her demeanour shifts as soon as somebody approaches her – false smile neatly plastered on her face. The alcohol buzzing through her system has numbed her enough to get through the evening. "Cool party, right?" She says, "I've heard people are dying to get in."

"spider," she corrected the term of little wolf. normally she'd bristle at any use of a name that wasn't her own. tonight there was far too much on her brain, her mind too fuzzy around the edges. "arachne was turned to a spider when a goddess grew jealous of her skill." even far past the point of tipsy, she knew the story of her namesake.
it took a moment before she recalled the prompt she'd given in order for the interaction with caius to even begin, green hues finding the blade in her hand once more. a smirk crawling upon her face, "well you see," she started, splaying the fingers of her free hand further apart against the table.
she didn't finish the thought, distracted instead as she slowly stabbed the space between pointer and middle finger and then stabbing the next space between fingers. over and over, quicker and quicker. she was proud of herself, at least in the moment, over the tiny task. at any second she could slip up, but she didn't. it was amazing how one thing could move to simply, so quickly and yet hold the ability to actually do damage - damage she knew both she and the knife were capable of.
The party began winding down, and Caius began to feel a bit bored. He had been entertained at the start, but with the deaths of his old mentor and the two other victors hanging over everyone’s heads, the entertainment value of the party began to plummet. Even the sponsors had become scarce after tributes started wandering back to their floors, and Caius realized that he’d either have to create his own entertainment or force himself back to the district ten floor.
Fortunately, entertainment arrived in the form of Arachne Kentwell. The knife had caught his attention, and as soon as she mentioned the words party trick, he dawned a wolfish grin and sat down across from her. ❝ Sure, little wolf. Show me what you have up your sleeve. ❞

OPEN STARTER | capping at three. ( 2 / 3 )
the four shakes him more than he shows. there are eyes everywhere and he's beginning to hear the whispers. some have even dared to ask him about it -- there has never been any respect in the capitol. their lives were showcased and as far as any socialite might be aware, as far as snow is aware, they aren't entitled to any privacy. it's infuriating. peeta smiles in their faces regardless and deftly makes their exit.
he takes a breath. he knows not to get messy, but he needs a drink. so he takes his third one of the night (peeta has always had a high tolerance, his nerves are still no where near at ease) when someone joins him at his side. this is not new, he's been socializing all night if he wasn't at katniss or rye's side. what else was there to do except continue to socialize until this night was over? that's just what all of this was. an endless cycle of waiting until the night was over. peeta feels their skin thrumming, though -- the works of something in their mind that would either go horribly wrong or wouldn't work at all despite the perfect execution, but now all he has to do is wait. "have you seen the light show yet?" they ask with feigned interest. damn the light show. "it's certainly something."
