Okay, here's a quick chapter about a Capitol citizen, Iris. You're going to see Iris throughout the story. She'll be narrating the chariot rides, the training scores, and the interviews, as well as a few other chapters throughout the games. I hope you like reading this. Also, I literally just chose her favorite tribute out of a hat, so… yeah.

Iris Lasumi, 22 Years Old

I flick the TV off, where the Capitol just finished showing the recaps of the Reapings, and let out a squeal of excitement. After an extremely long and agonizing wait, the Hunger Games are finally here again! I've saved up a lot of money for this time and have bought more than a year's worth of chips, cookies, and other snacks. I think I might try to sponsor this year, too. I haven't done it in years past due to how expensive they can be, but I think I might be able to scrounge up enough money to buy something this time around.

I hear a knock on the door and run to open it. Nickel stands outside, smiling. His golden eyes sparkle in the evening light, and his /'copper colored hair is combed neatly atop his head. I automatically reach back to tuck my royal purple hair behind my ear and blush a little. Nickel grins at me. "Did you watch the Reapings?" He asks. I roll my eyes playfully and usher him in. "Of course I did, idiot." I say. We plop down together on the couch and he wraps his arm around me. "So, who was your favorite tribute?" Nickel asks me. "That's easy." I tell him. "Beckett Roy. He's the first volunteer District 12's had in years! And it was so cute how he volunteered for his little brother." Nickel shrugs. "I suppose so." He responds simply. "My favorite was Octavian, though. He seemed strong and capable, a good candidate for the win." I guess Octavian was pretty cool. He wasn't nearly as neat as Beckett, though.

"So, have you heard any new gossip from the Capitol?" Nickel asks me after a moment of silence. My face lights up and I begin to tell him a story of how there are rumors that President Haza is cheating on her husband. I ramble on and on, but he doesn't seem to mind. I think he's gotten used to my gigantic mouth by now.

After a long, long time, I finally can no longer think of anything to talk about. So Nickel and I just sit together, enjoying the moment. I let out a long sigh of happiness.

I love my life.

And that was it! I know this was very short, but her chapters are going to be longer once we get into the pre-games. The next chapter is going to be the train rides with Scorpius, Nathan, and Alyx.

These sponsor questions are almost completely identical to the ones at the Mid-Reapings Special, but I'm asking them again because you know all of the tributes now.

1. Who is your favorite tribute (not including yours)?

2. Who do you think will win?
