Without any further ado...

The Capitol is rarely dark. Yes, each evening Night would throw it's dusky cloak over the city, holed with icy stars, yet the sprawling balance of metal-glass buildings fought hard against this tide of nature. Each night as the sun turns it's brilliant face against the sky, Light is reborn in Panem. It grows slowly, humming it's steady orange glow from lamplight and street corners, and waxes slightly, glittering lanterns ebbing their diamond luminescence into the dim alleyways of every turning, every junction. By the time the moon arcs high over the atmosphere, she is shamed by the iridescent glory that the city boasts. Facets of broken rainbows beam from every room, buildings transformed into a palette of coloured squares. Clematis watches the splendour as it unfolds in the reflection of her shop window. It seems to her as if the light of her city beams onwards forever into the night, immortal, unstoppable. Infinity is easy ground for this place. Shivering slightly, the glass cool and hard against her fingertips, she wonders how the Districts even see at night with their naked skies. She wonders what it must be like to feel the cold glow of a full moon, to be chased into the night by strange and elusive shadows, counting myriads of stars on unaccommodating fingers. To lose oneself, in silver half lit hideaways, never claimed by lamplight.

A faint tinkling noise drags her from these ponderings. Turning her head towards the smooth glass door, she watches in childlike awe as it pushes gently against a metal bell, and finds herself lost and naive. The sound was actually rather beautiful.

"Ma'am?"

Reality dropped slowly, like thick cream tipping into coffee. It pooled in her head, and all her lovely thoughts were pushed unelegantly to the back of her mind, left to grow stagnant and old without her. Imagination was smothered by the urgency of the present, and the moment slipped from her, tumbling unrealized into the past.

Walking towards her, the man skirts the crystal cabinets with familiarity, his well soled boots make no noise as they press measuredly against the hardwood floor. Curiosity colours his heavy brow, his eyes fixed with determination, as they look to Clematis for an answer.

She smiles gracefully, shaking her head slightly. She knows this gesture will make her long glittering blonde curls bounce attractively, and the man's returning twitch of the lips affirms this.

"My apologies Sir, we were about to close for the evening."

He smiles overconfidently this time, shrugging off his expensive fur coat to reveal an even more costly suit jacket underneath.

"I won't be long."

He moves towards the counter, placing a pile of coins almost carelessly on the glass counter with a clatter. Clematis stands with uncertainty, taking in the scene before her of what must be a very blatant bribe. She considers in her head the skirt that she saw walking to work this morning. She thinks of the shoes she has which will almost certainly match, and places a well manicured hand patiently on what must be at least three weeks salary.

Her pretty face lights up, and she throws what she knows to be a very charming smile to the red haired man. He nods in silent agreement, his eyes conveying some kind of petty amusement at the ease of money.

Exhaling deeply, he places a hand on the counter, leaning slowly towards the shop assistant. Clematis smiles professionally, but can't help but feel slightly intimidated by somebody with such obvious and substantial wealth. The man's face hardens like frost.

"I'm here in the recommendation of Plutarch Heavensbee. I believe he has a gift for me?"

Clematis glows with inner joy, Plutarch Heavensbee? In her head she spins gleefully in a brand new dress, dancing in a circle of gold to the tune of her admirers singing their praise.

"Let me just check in the back!"

"Of course."

She has to stop herself running, her heels clicking against the floor cleanly as she walks to the back room. Heavensbee, Heavensbee... It had to be around here somewhere. Here!

Grabbing the velvet box, she skips gleefully back to her waiting customer. Everything seems a little brighter, as she opens the box for him to see. Looking down at the watch encased in inky black suede, she can't help but sigh a little. It was so... plain. Reigning in her disappointment, she lacquers herself with the girlish merriment that a store assistant of her calibre is required to provide.

"Is it to your liking Sir?"

He looks measuredly to the timepiece, the glistening gold bracelet reflected in his pondering eyes. He opens his mouth, considering his reply.

"It's... Perfect."

He probably won't even wear it, Clematis thinks spitefully as he walks from the store. She stands in the pool of sparkling lamplight, and suddenly realizes how deflated she feels, like a pretty balloon that is weeping helium from a tiny hole. She shrugs slightly, brushing these thoughts from her shoulders, dusting herself free of melancholy. She wasn't surprised at his disappointment really. Gold wristwear was on it's way out, and the artistic design was practically ancient. Birds were so outdated.

There we go, I hope you enjoyed it. If you want to submit another tribute and you have already done one, there is plenty of space left! You can submit two. I already have a bounty of morally sound characters so don't be afraid to mix it up a little with the crazy and the weird! Also I have a lot of 17/18 year old tributes, so for diversity's sake I would love some younger ones too. Thanks for your time!
