If you did not submit an interview then your tribute will not have one. I did not write family interviews for anyone, this was 100% optional. Those that submitted, I did grammar checks but other than that, left the interview how you wrote it.
Maximus Lexington's family, District 1
"So sweetheart tell us what do you think is going through your father's mind as the finale to the Games approaches." The interviewer starts off.
"Well, I..." Sapphire starts but is interrupted by her Grandmother Mrs. Lexington oblivious to fact that the question wasn't directed towards her.
"Oh I know he has to be just positively thrilled. I'm sure he would've volunteered if hadn't been reaped. Maximus being in the Games have been the time of our lives. I always knew he'd be the special one of my two boys. And very soon I'll get to be the only mother in Panem who can say her boy is the Victor of Victors. I just wish his father was still here to see it."
"And Sapphire what do you think of your father's odds"
"I think his odds of winning are good. But my dad once told me that even best-trained tribute chances aren't greater than the field. So I hope he just keeps playing the Games smart. So it's important that he still stays cautious. When there's still Careers like District 2 and dangerous mutts in the arena. Plus there has been no need to rush anything. This year's Games are moving fast enough already."
"What do you believe is the reason for that"
"It's lethal arena this year and these Victors are all desperate and dangerous. Everyone remaining has killed someone before and many have spouses and kids waiting for them to come home again. But I just need it to be my dad."
"Is there anything you would want to say to him."
"He knows."
Sebastian and Alyss Runne's family, District 2
The people there are their children, Kaetlyn, Slate, and Mark, who are all in the house when the interviewers come. Slate is making a cake in an effort to keep distracted, Kaetlyn is trying to knit with her mother's needles but is failing miserably, and Mark is watching the Games, cheering on his parents and Maximus.
"Did Seb and Alyss say anything to you when they left?" The interviewer asks.
Kaetlyn responds, "they talked to us about making sure we clean the house and keep on staying fit, and not to mourn too much about them dying." She wipes away a few tears.
"They also told Mark and us not to volunteer." Slate looks at Mark.
"Oh please, if they make it back, they can stop me. The only thing that they really said is I love you." Mark replies.
"Any favourites other than your parents in the Games? Anyone you're close to?"
"I've admired Rivera for years, and we all know Maximus, Anastasia, Lea..." Kaetlyn begins to trail off.
Slate picks up the silence. "Callum has a good chance if he can manage to bounce back and get ready to fight. I like Claudie as well. She seems like an interesting person."
"Maximus all the way." Mark grins. "He's probably taking home the victory if our parents don't come back. The others might have won their games, but they don't have the fierceness that a career has. Maximus, Mom and Dad are the only ones who will win."
"Shut up, Mark! You'll jinx it!" Kaetlyn yells, "remember what happened when you said Dad wouldn't be reaped as well?
"There's no such thing as jinxes! You shut up!" Mark yells back.
Slate whispers fiercely, "no, you're the idiot here. Shut your mouth and get ready for the cameras. We're trying to impress the nation on how Mom and Dad are great! So, shut up and just fawn to the cameras!"
"What do you think their chances are at winning? And who would win?"
"I don't want to answer that." Kaetlyn mumbles.
Slate chimes in, "Me neither."
"Dad unless he dies in one of the clocks." Mark says, "Mom is too smart to die in those. They're likely going to the finale together."
"How dare you favourite one of our parents! Both of them are equally precious to us!" Kaetlyn screams.
"Oh, please." Mark brushes her off. "You know that you want Mom to come home so that you don't have to cook some more. A man who marries you is going out for dinner every night."
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"Both of you shut up!" Slate interrupts.
Smoke begins to bellow from the kitchen. Kaetlyn gets up and storms off. Slate saying that they have to cut the interview short.
Hayley Rowan's family, District 9
How did it feel when you found out she was going to the games once again? "
Hayley's family is sitting un the living room. Her parents and 3 younger brothers: Garth, Fernir and Brandon.
The mother "to say it broke us would be an understatement. Last year was Brandon's last reaping so we thought our family was finally safe.. And then they just take her away like that!.."
"But she can make it!" Garth interrupts before his mother breaks down. "she won before and she can do it again. Our sister is tough. I still remember how we used to wrestle back when we were kids. I can assure you, you don't want to be on the wrong end of her left hook." he cracks a sad smile along with his brothers.
"Oh, I bet. After all, she is known for her brutality during her first games." says the interviewer " yet she always maintained a smile on her face... How did that affect your family?"
The air becomes tense after this question. It clearly affects all of them.
Fernir is the one to respond this time. "that was 8 years ago. We've moved past it... At first, it was... Well... A shock. I couldn't understand how she could act like everything was fine after all that happened. We could barely look each other in the eye..." he looks guilty but is able to maintain composure. " but I get it now. I just wish I had told her sooner. I don't care what she has to do come home. We can't lose Hayley"
Hayley's mother starts crying while Garth hugs her. her Father remains silent and so does Brandon.
"But we are getting close to the final 8. Every day she is closer coming home."
"She is. We just hope she can be the final one"
Callum Andrew's family, District 10
"Why is Callum so torn with Harmony's death deep down?"
Maise takes a moment to answer. Coddling her and Callum's son, AJ. "I've known him since we were both 13, childhood sweethearts. I know exactly why he feels like this, he feels he has let absolutely everyone else down. Me and AJ, his parents, Harmony's family. Anybody watching could see that he made sure Harmony was cared for before he even thought about his own well being. She was too young, too gentle, so alike and now that she is gone, he feels like it was him who caused the hail, no one else. That's why he is taking his fury out on trees in the arena, he does so much for everyone else that he hasn't got no one to care or protect for in that arena, his friends are dying left right and center around him. Only one person can care so much, that's why I love him. "
"Why does he deserve to win and return home victorious?"
"Out of everyone left in that horror of an arena, Callum is the only one has a real, true heart, he wouldn't sit around and watch innocent people, his friends die. He knows as well as everyone that there is only one victor, but he only killed one person in his last games and that was to get home to his family. He wouldn't dream of killing his friends he has known for years. That is why he deserves to win, he is not as evil or twisted as some of the people in there, even that woman from district 5 can see that she had the chance to kill him but didn't because she could see he was hurting and is a good person inside and outside."
"Why does he care so much?"
"He is so selfless, he is never satisfied until everybody else is happy and cared for, he always makes sure that I am coping with our beautiful baby AJ. He never asks for anything in return, every month he donates lumps of money to the poorer families of District 10. He never wishes for anything awful to happen to anyone else. His heart is so content and I think he proves that with his relationships with the people around him. He never makes time for himself, he works so hard. The reason he cares so much? Because he wants the best for everyone else and thrives for everyone else's happiness, rather than his own. "
Laura Grace's family, District 11
"Now for Laura Grace from District 11! She is our most recent victor, having to go to the games twice in a row! Even if she doesn't win, her name will go down in history! Let's begin with her parents. Hello, you are Laura's parents?"
Her mom, April, answered, "Yes. We are super proud of our baby for making it so far. Please fight hard and come back to mommy!" She directed that last part to the camera. Laura's dad, John, chimed in, "We love you, Laura! Please come home!" John's face showed the toll the two consecutive games have had on him.
"Now for Laura's sister, Sarah! Hello Sarah, how are you? Anything you want to say?"
Sarah's face showed enormous maturity, especially considering she is only ten. "Laura, I know you can do this. You continue to amaze us all every day. Please, come back." She whispers the last part.
"Okay..., now for the only other female District 11 Victor, the victor of the 30th Games, June Wilson! Anything you want to say about Laura, or a message to her?"
June thought and decided to make it very clear to the Capitol the pain they had forced onto all of the Victors, especially Laura. "I consider Laura to be my closest friend. I didn't get to know her for long, but we went through many hardships together. We comforted each other after nightmares, I was the one who taught her how to get focused on her surroundings to escape the dreams. This hasn't been easy on Laura, or any of the other victors. While we may not all carry visible scars, we all have numerous scars. Now to Laura, I want to say that I miss you terribly, and I hope you can get home safely. You're doing amazing, and everyone back at District 11 is cheering for you!"
The TV announcer seems lost for words, then seems to be gestured to by someone behind the camera to wrap up now. "Those were Laura Grace's family and friends! Maybe Laura will be the first consecutive winner of the Games ever! This has been the Hunger Games Interviews, good night!" The camera quickly was shut off.
