It's all it will take, we'll go down in history

Who| Everyone in the Tribute Center (plus various Capitol citizens are in attendance)
What| A Saturnalia inspired extravaganza!
Where| A large, festive ballroom
When| Tonight!
Warnings/Notes| N/A? Let me know if this needs a warning!

Jennifer had spent weeks on the preparations for this glorious night, arranging for the food and gifts and music and dancing. Everything would be perfect, and she was certain all the attendees would have a marvelous time. And besides all that, this would be a perfect way to celebrate her husband's return to the Capitol! It had been weeks since Arturas had any time off to spend at home. Surely he'd be delighted by the fanfare and revelry.

The invitations stated that the party began promptly at 6:30, to bring an appetite, and be ready to dance. The attendees were instructed to dress in costume, to participate in the role-reversal theme of Saturnalia. Capitolites were to dress as Tributes while the Tributes were to dress in the most outlandish Capitol fashions imaginable. Jennifer herself was wearing a replica of the District 2 space costume, bedazzled and covered in crystals, for an extra glamorous kick, while her stoic husband sat at his table with his politician friends, dressed in an ice skating costume, a throwback to Arena 11. Clearly he had business to attend to, so it would be up to her to see to the party.

She made her way toward the entrance and prepared to greet everyone.

He gave her a charming grin of his own, "If she comes heehawing around your District, surely it is because she is trying to steal some of your secrets, no? I can spot a jealous woman a league away, and Sebastiana is nothing if not incapable and driven to pettiness."

He then bowed to Jolie, looking up to give her a wink. "And you, my dear, are a gem. I thank you for the dance. It was a sincere pleasure."

"I'm sure it's the least I deserve if I'm snapping her Tributes out from under her." She admits with a snigger, gladly allowing herself to bask in the flattery when it keeps coming.

She steps back, nodding her head in place of curtseying. The restrictiveness of the dress isn't conducive to it and it's a culture she's not strongly familiar with. "Keep talking like that and the pleasures all mine." She winks, flourishing a hand as she waves and moving back into the crowd as the music starts to change.
