A/N: This isn't an interlude. This has no substance; this is just the sponsorship info! XD I'm halfway through writing the District Four post-Reapings but I finally decided on how to do this sponsor system, so here it is. There's a little bit of story worked in 'cause, well, this is a story, and it needs some actual writing xD

Lights

Camera

Struck a pose

And if someone help you

Put lipstick on

Yeah

High heels now you're

Six feet tall

And everybody knows

Who you are

Marionette Brocklinde, 24

Capitol Resident

Model and Avid Hunger Games Fanatic and Sponsor

Soon the Twenty Second Games will begin, and I can't sleep. The tributes have been Reaped and are on trains at this very moment, swiftly chugging down the railroads and heading towards the Capitol. I have front row VIP seats for the Parade and the Interviews and I've been trying to get my step brother Darion to let me sit in on the Private Sessions. I love to gamble; it's my addiction, my one and only. Alcohol and drugs just don't sit well with me, and sex...I've just never felt comfortable about it. I don't exactly think I'm asexual, it's just that I don't really have a need for it.

Leaving the casino two hundred richer (did I mention I'm also a great gambler?) in my high heels and newest addition Cravat Lumbroux cocktail dress (did I mention I'm also a great model?), I head over to the Tribute Center. Before the tributes get here in a couple of hours, it's open to the public like it is all year round. The Tribute Hotel floors are closed off since Avoxes are preparing them for use at the moment, but the training room is open. In the training room, my usual Hunger Games betting crowd is waiting. As I push through the doors into the training center, I see that I'm the last to arrive.

"Marionette, come on over! We're wasting away our time with solitaire waiting for you!" Adoria Chalice hollers. She and our two other betting buddies, Aurorius Kaimis and Angelico Baublyn, are sitting in the Gamemakers' Loft with a deck of cards. I walk quickly across the training room, admiring all the stations, like exhibits in a museum right now, around me. I go up the stairs set into the wall that lead up to the Loft. They're usually obstructed by a curtain that blends into the wall. I sit down with my three friends, and Aurorius hands me a pamphlet.

"The new sponsorship rules. They told me 1 point equals one hundred in currency," he booms. I open up the pamphlet and read its contents carefully.

NOTES:

Locks will be placed on tributes if they receive too many sponsor gifts that will give them a very unfair advantage (AKA one tribute getting a dozen weapons and no one else getting anything). This rarely happens.

You can only send gifts listed here excepting the various food/accessory option, and those have to be approved. No clothing or weapons or water or shelter not listed here will be approved.

IMPORTANT: Each day, the cost of every item will increase by two points. If a Games were to last 12 days, a 3 point flare would cost 27 points on the last day of the Games.

Enjoy sponsoring loyal Capitol citizen, and Happy Hunger Games!

A/N: I hope that was self explanatory! :) I was going to wait until the end of the post-Reaping chapters to post this, and I'll probably move this chapter after we've finished the whole story so the chapters seem to flow more, but for now here it is. I just wanted you guys to have this so you have an idea of what everything will cost, and so you can decide if you want to do trivia or not based on what is here.

So at first I was going to calculate your points for you. Then I started on it, and I spent a half hour on it and I'd only gotten through like 50 reviews. I don't know why, I was just really being slow at it. I'm sorry, but it would be a huge help if you guys could do it yourselves. And, anyway, those of you who calculate it themselves will be the ones that will actually be reading in the Games and be sending gifts anyway. Sorry, I just honestly didn't want to sit at my computer for an hour and a half calculating points and wasting precious writing time.

Just add up 1 point per review and 1 point per correct trivia answer and either put the total on your review or PM it to me. I'll keep a running total after that myself. Please be honest about your points.

Here are the trivia answers so far:

Who placed second in 21st Games - Bastian Semptus, 2M

Why was Fulmia refused - So what I was trying to hint to in the POV was that she was a rebel, because I sort of just added that, sorry Nemris xD But no one got that I guess, I guess I was too sneaky with my secret message, so I'll give it to anyone that said she was unpredictable, etc. because that is also true.

Ardin's generic angle - The Swan

Millard's middle name - Garrick

Cartenya could - she could tell you a story from looking at an ink splotch

What tea - Earl grey tea

Until Next Time (probably tomorrow with District Four, if not tonight xD),
