"Next! I called out, almost routine now. Every single person we had interviewed was wrong. We'd had 7 so far.
"Ma'm! There's no one left!" I sighed dramatically.
"Who was the best?" I asked, gesturing for him to give me the notes.
Rubilia Bolt
6 out of 10
Pros:
Loud voice.
Cons:
Uninteresting
Janis Smith
4 out of 10
Pros:
He could be funny
Cons
I'd be surprised if he knew what one plus one was.
I glared at the intern. This was no place for sarcasm. This was serious.
Kariss Backs
6 out of 10
Pros:
Clever and loud.
Cons
She scared most of us.
Basin Gones
1 out of 10
Pros
He was... imaginative
Cons
He was convinced we were vampires and brought in garlic. One of the staff is allergic to garlic.
Ellis Hawk
5 out of 10
Pros
Pretty.
Cons
Annoying voice.
It was true. She sounded like a foghorn.
Aima Gyuis
7 out of 10
Pros
Loud and likeable
Cons
Would constantly stare into space for no reason
Bonji Xors
3 out of 10
Pros
She was better than Basin
Cons
She was convinced she was a psychic
Note to self: Check the water supply.
I sighed. "This is all well and good but who do we use? The best fit is Aima but she isn't quite perfect."
Everyone nodded. "Basin would add humour." Someone said doubtfully.
"The games aren't about humour!" I practically yelled. "They are about passion. About love. About unity!"
"And about revenge."
A woman, about 5 foot 6 stepped in. She had shiny blond hair, so different from my short red bob. Her eyes were a deep blue, almost like gemstones do,pared to my dull green. Her skin was smooth and clear whilst mine was slightly blotchy abd I had a face full of freckles make up couldn't hide.
Our basic features were the same though.
"Hello sister." I said cautiously. "What are you doing here?"
She could have become a gamemajer if she wanted to but she went into advertising. Her voice was famous across the Capitol.
Oh no.
"Isn't it obvious?" she purred, easily making me feel inferior. "I'm here for the job."
3 hours later
She had the job. Meli would always find a way to ruin my life.
We would be working together and I knew the respect I had worked my ass off would be gone in minutes. Melior meant better in Latin and it was cruel irony that her name was Meli.
If you haven't submitted already, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
