None of us are promised to see tomorrow, and what we do is ours to choose
Forget about the sunrise, fight the sleep in your eyes
Glamour was Annoyed, Capital A, with the delay in his dinner plans. An hour past his intended cocktail hour, he deigned to bestow his grace upon the staff of the Training Center. His butler had accompanied him from the luxury high rises in the Capitol, and he was the only one Glamour would hold responsible.[/color]" he purred, and then smashed the glass.
It can't be helped, his butler informed him. His lower lip twitched as he faced Glamour. The Games, they are the only clock we know.
Glamour sneered. "Was I not the god of time two years ago? Our guests are not going to tolerate such a disrespectful delay. You can be sure I'll find a way to return the favor, in time." He cackled at his own cruel joke, and waved his middle aged butler off to organize the details. He had more important matters to attend to. Namely, his guests, the true gods of Panem, the only men and women who ever won when the Games rolled around. He had already sent along a package of rare cured meats with a note of apology about the delayed start time for their evening. Glamour thought it was a modest gesture, and he had ordered twice the number of bottles of champagne to be sure that all quickly forgot the faux pas.
He allowed his own army of stylists to fuss and preen. Every so often he snapped and corrected, but mostly he reviewed the events of Day 2. It was obvious why there had been a delay; too many large muttations which had taken too long to bring down. Visually dynamic, but two of them had been unable to take down a quartet of tributes. He felt almost gleeful as the news anchor lambasted the muttation's design, saying that it had fallen an elephant's lengthy shy of its potential. Glamour ordered a glass of champagne for himself at that point, and even let his newest stylist weave a few streaks of electric blue into his flawless hair.
Despite the perfectly controlled temperature of the Training Center, Glamour snuggled into a cropped fur coat. Layers of obsidian and iron necklaces draped from his neck, down his bare and waxed chest. His pants, leather of course, squeaked with every movement. He stared at himself in the mirror, laughed at the dashing and fierce man in front of him. A sweep of his arm and a tilt of his glass, he clinked his flute against the mirror. "May the odds be ever in your favor, Glamourous,
Bubbles floating through his system, Glamour made his entrance onto the balcony of the Training Center. It was only slightly disappointing that the crowd - entirely comprised of avoxes - clapped instead of cheering. He threw back the curtain and circled the dinner table. The stemware gleamed, the silverware shone. He had chosen a palette of pale rose and dark silver for the night. Nothing too significant. Tasteful. It was the entertainment that he wanted to steal the spotlight, even though he was known for his fashion and decor expertise. Everyone would expect his table to be outlandish, bright and obnoxious. Everyone would expect a dinner of Gamemakers to discuss the deaths of countless tributes.
But they would be talking about another death tonight.
The avoxes assembled themselves along the edge of the balcony, their backs to the grey training center. Glamour put his manicured fingers to his polished lips. His butler had finally done well; each of the avoxes, tongueless as they were, was bigger than the next. He cackled, just to hear the sound. It was his butler who interrupted him, with a nod to the door. His guests were just on the other side, offered champagne flutes on a red carpet, and each had been handed a different type of flower.
Glamour dabbled his fingers over the plates as he passed, dipping them into one of the pours of olive oil. He smeared it over his exposed abs, wiped his fingers on the wallpaper, and then plucked his flower from a vase. A moon flower, of deepest indigo, which he twirled despite the poison latent in its petals. He flirted with it, passing it under his nose, within a whisper of his lips, as the doors finally opened.
Glamour flung open his arms. "Finally! You cannot imagine my remorse at the delay. But here we are, and I can promise you, this night none of us will forget." He winked and smiled a snake's smile. He could hear their thoughts echoing inside his skull. Hadn't they all promised Panem the same thing over the last decade? And who was he to promise such a thing to the gods of Panem?
Well, that one's easy. I'm Glamour Kinkade, bitch.[/size][/blockquote]
