Author's Note: I feel like the worst person in the world for taking SOOOOOOOOOO long to update. So sorry. I tried to make this longer, but interviews are so hard for me to write, just like reapings, because there aren't a lot of questions you can really ask. RedRoses1000 finally guessed at my favorite tribute, but was sorta wrong, guessing Coralie, Courtney, and that my favorite tribute was at least a female Career. It's out! I LOVE Luster, but FYI, this WILL NOT affect the ending. I had a storyline planned out BEFORE all the tributes were submitted, and I am sticking to it. ALSO, I have decided to have a review contest, with more details at the end of this chapter. Okay, well, here is my attempt at writing interviews.
Colia Peridon
The Capitol
Mom raced to the tv to turn on the interviews as the doorbell rang. That was my friends. We were meeting up to talk, watch the interviews, and have a sleepover. I wrench open the door and look at my friends. They race inside and we start setting up. I looked online for the best things to do if you are having a party to watch the interviews of the tributes. And the training scores. I didn't watch them last night because they show them right before the interviews as well. Claire, Sophia, Alyss, Katarina, Lorraine, and Winter watch the screen intently, as do I.
Caesar starts announcing the training scores.
Luster gets a 11, but Hale gets a 9. That's okay. Courtney gets a 10, while Jacob gets a 8. Akina and Grayson both get 5s. Coralie gets a 11, as does Cruise. I barely pay attention to the rest until I hear that Primrose got a 12. And Aaron gets a 10. That is CRAZY! What happened during those private sessions? Well, onto the interviews. Caesar begins interviewing.
"To start off this magnificent night of getting to know our tributes, the lovely girl you all know as the younger sister of the brother and sister duo Cashmere and Gloss, while we know her as the amazing Luster Roxen!" The radiant, beaming girl comes on stage, looking beautiful in a grey silk dress with spaghetti straps that falls down to her knees with a revealing slit up the left side and a sweetheart neckline.
"Thank you Caesar," Luster tells him as she sits down. "For that amazing introduction."
"Well, I think we all want to know, what is it like being the younger sister of not one, but two, victors and being in their shadow?" He asks.
"Shadow, Caesar? I don't think so. I will come out of that arena alive, just as victorious as they were, and since I'm younger, I'll kinda outshadow them," she answers. "And as for having them as my older siblings? I know they will try as hard as they can to get me out of the arena alive."
"You clearly know what you want," comes Caesar's reply. "Now tell me, how did your parents and siblings react to you being reaped?"
"Well, Mom is very excited, because she wants another victor in the family," Luster replies. "But Cashmere and Gloss are nervous, and scared, because they don't want me to die in the arena."
"How did you feel when you were chosen at the reaping?"
"I was proud, to represent my district, but I am nervous and hesitant about the prospect of the approaching games." she replies, sounding a little hesitant.
"Would you like to tell me how you're finding the Capitol?" Caesar asks.
"It's so cool!" she gushed. "All the people here are definitely very different from home, but they're all really nice, especially my stylist and prep team, oh, and the food is really good."
"The food? Please tell us, what is your favorite food that you have tasted here in the capitol," the interviewer replies.
"Oh, it would have to be the... " Luster trails off, deep in thought. "Tangerines, because they are just so sweet and juicy, and I never had one until I came to the capitol." The buzzer goes off, telling us that Luster's time was up.
I put the tv on mute and set a timer so we can watch Courtney and Coralie's interviews. We play games, test each other's knowledge with trivia questions, and make predictions. Finally, the timer beeps, but sadly we missed Courtney's interview. I unmute the television and watch.
"As we are moving on to the lovely District 4, some of you may be getting bored of this. However, this girl is so beautiful, clever, and witty, she will make you stay tuned. Introducing the lovely, Coralie Odair!"
Coralie walked onstage in a dress where the top part is an almost but not quite see through nude material with a huge amount of diamonds beautifully placed on the top, while the back of the dress is low and the skirt is a floor length silky white material that flows gracefully with her whenever she moves. Also, she has on silver jewelled 6 inch heels. Her hair is down and in gorgeous voluminous soft curls, with a natural smokey eye.
"Thank you so much for that lovely introduction Caesar," Coralie says, batting her eyelashes.
"So Coralie, is coming into the games a concern of yours, or are you filled with excitement as to perform as many of us are?" he asked.
"Mostly, just excited, but a few butterflies," she paused for a moment, "I also just want to get back home to my loving and caring family."
Awws arose from the audience.
"Do you have a special somebody waiting for you back home?"
"No; my brothers are very protective and rarely let another guy near me. Also, I'm not ready for that kind of thing yet." she replies. "Finnick, Aquarius, Caspian, and Jorah would barely let me look at the guys my age that they thought I might take a liking to."
"Now tell me Coralie, what was your initial reaction when you got reaped?" Caesar asked. A question for all tributes, but still a good one.
"At first, I was scared, but moments later, as I rose up onto the stage, I looked into the eyes of my district, and I knew that I could win. I would win for my district."
Another set of awws rose from the audience.
As he opened his mouth to ask another question, the timer rang, ending Coralie's time.
I set the timer to watch Primrose's interview, and we continue to try to guess what will happen in the games.
"We're almost done folks, but you wouldn't want to miss this; Katniss Everdeen's sister, the girl who glowed, otherwise known as Primrose Everdeen."
She came onstage, looking radiant in a beautiful white dress that flowed to her knees and had a slightly shorter front. It was made of a silky, almost wispy-looking fabric and accented her curves. Her hair was wavy, coming down past her shoulders, and wearing a soft pink lip gloss and light gold eyeshadow.
"Now Primrose, last year you were reaped, but your sister volunteered. This year, you volunteered for your mother. What did it feel like, being volunteered for by your sister, and volunteering yourself?" That is an interesting question to ask.
"It felt scary, at first, when I was initially reaped, and then when my sister volunteered, I thought, I can't let her go into the games because I was reaped. She couldn't go to the games. When she came back, I was so happy." she replies. "Until the Quell twist was announced and I had very high odds of being reaped. But then at the reaping, mom was reaped, and I knew I had to go instead. She couldn't go to the games, either. And, well, now I'm here."
"Do you feel you would win ?"
"Honestly, I don't think I will win, but I have hope, and faith in my sister Katniss." Primrose said. "I just wanted to save my mom."
"Your sister found love in the games with Peeta last year: any chance you are in love?"
"Not really, Caesar. I'm not actually allowed to date until I'm older," she replied.
"Well, is there any chance you will be making allies in the arena?" Caesar questions.
"I think so, honestly," Primrose answers. "It always makes it easier to survive."
The timer rings. "There goes our time. Well ladies and gentleman, Primrose Everdeen," Caesar announces.
I turn the tv off and mom makes us get to bed. The games start tomorrow! YAY!
Author's Note: This chapter was SOOOO pathetically short, but I wanted to show Colia's bias in only liking the female Careers and Prim. Plus, the interviews were REALLY hard for me to write. The games will not be up tomorrow, but I will start trying to update on a weekly basis. About the contest: currently, there are 48 reviews. If by the time I post the next chapter, there are 60 reviews or more, I will pick a random reviewer and I will PM them more info(so, NO guests can be in the running-sorry, just get a account). What will happen is that I will give that person 100 sponsorship points to give to tributes in the PM ONLY things during the first chapter of the games(which NOBODY ELSE can), and they can use the rest of the points they have. More info on sponsorship points another time. No questions today. I am looking for a beta, so PM me if you are interseted. Also, credit to my BFFs Katie and Mia for helping me with this chapter(they told me they would kill me if I don't give them recognition)Thank you guys so much for reading!
