Caesar Flickerman sighed and looked out of the window. He was exhausted and tonight was interview night. Another night of listening to dying tributes trying to survive by making the audience like them. Another night of trying to help them survive. This year his hair and lips were pink and he was having his blue suit ironed at three o'clock.

The show was about to go live and he was made up and was waiting for the tributes to enter. The tributes seemed a very varied this year but they had to be really. This was the first Quarter Quell which signified the twenty fifth year of the Hunger Games, in which the tributes were chosen by their own District. District Ones tributes were a pair called Fragrance and Flick, District Two; Maximus and Sitania, District Three; Calcus and Lethe, District Four; Ocena and Portus, District Five; Polla and Tecby, District Six; Cruise and Gypsy, District Seven; Ivano and Jana, District Eight; Augustus and Cotton, District Nine; Nebula and Neptune, District Ten; Sali and Jonsy, District Eleven; Pomme and Cricket, District Twelve; Willow and Ash.
