6:00 PM In the Capitol
''Tributes and capitol people. If you had tickets to come watch the 1st Annual Hunger Games Interviews for the tributes, come down to the capitol arena and watch as they are all asked questions. See which one you likes, and see what personality type they are.''
As all the tributes were walking to the capitol arena, some had a couple of things to say. They all spoke together in one group, and it seemed as if they were all actually getting along for the thirty minutes that they had with each other before the interviews. Every tribute was given an outfit to try on by their stylists that would make them look well in front of the capitol.
''WELCOME ALL TO THE FIRST ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES TRIBUTE INTERVIEWS!'' Said a well known commentator in the capitol, Teddy Mirane. ''I hope you special people are ready to see your favorite tributes answer the questions asked to them. I sure am interested.''
''Whoo, I'm first.'' Pia whispered nervously.
''Introducing district 1's sweetheart, PIA JACKSON!'' Teddy yelled.
The audience clapped as the shiny beautiful young girl walked up to the stage. Wearing a short dress with rings all around her wrist, she was the lady that everyone was looking at in the capitol.
''Wow, look at you young lady. How do you feel?'' Teddy asked.
''Great! I'm ready to compete.'' District 1's Pia smiled.
''Good, now what is your strategy towards entering these games?'' Teddy pondered. ''Will you stay at the blood bath? Run towards the cornucopia? Or try to wait out the first day?''
''Bloodbath? What's that? Cornucopia?'' District 1's Pia said confused.
''Oh please. A lady like you doesn't know what the bloodbath is? Haha, I know that you're just kidding but I'll say it for those in the back who don't know. The cornucopia is the center of the arena that you will be fighting in, and that is where all the bags, weapons, and other useful items are located. The bloodbath is when all the tributes run towards the cornucopia, and they all fight and kill each other. Those who survive run away, and try to win for the rest of the time left.'' Teddy stated.
''Haha, I knew that. I would run towards the cornucopia, and fight my way through. If I see anyone near me, I will strike. I'm a snake hiding in the grass waiting to poison my next prey.'' District 1's Pia said in a cute manner to get the audience to love her.
The audience clapped, and cheered on for her because they wanted to see more of her. ''I love you Pia!.'' ''I can't wait to see you win!'' ''You're my favorite!'' The capitol people yelled out as the female from district 1 was being interviewed.
''Thank you young lady. We'll see you in the next two days in that arena.'' Teddy laughed.
''Here is her district partner, Cartier Porter!''
Loud cheers and claps were made for the good looking man from the luxury district.
''Cartier, tell me. How do you feel about your district partner getting all the attention?'' Teddy questioned.
''I feel happy for her. I love how she's being applauded, it's nice to see a teammate get credit for what they deserve.'' Cartier said even though he did not mean any of it at all.
''Wow! This is the most humble you've been in the short week that we've seen you. Haha well, I wanna see what you can provide in the arena.'' Teddy said.
''Trust me, I'll be very good in the arena. You can almost consider me as one of your favorites if I'm honest. I can't wait until Pia and I get out there and destroy the other tributes.'' Cartier stated.
''What happens when it's down to you both as the final two?'' Teddy asked.
''Our love will take over, and we'll die together.'' Cartier said sadly to get the attention of the capitol.
Awes were heard all around the capitol. Cartier was now definitely one of the favorites, everyone loved his attitude. ''I love you Cartier!'' ''You're my favorite'' ''I WANT YOUR BABIES!'' were squealed all around the capitol arena.
''District 1's Cartier everybody.'' Teddy shouted.
''Up next was Claudia Vernice of district 2.'' Teddy announced. ''Well someone came today to show how beautiful they are. That dress is lovely, it really represents your district. I love how lethal you look. What is on your mind sweetie?''
''I'm just thinking about how me and Byron are gonna do in these games. I'm kind of worried about all the other competitors.'' District 2's Claudia said in puppy eyes.
''Aww you're the sweetest little thing I have ever seen for your age.'' Teddy said. ''I really hope that you do well in these games.''
''Up next is Byron Monin of district 2. So Byron... How do you feel about entering these games, and what is your strategy?'' Teddy asked.
''I will crush any opponent that gets in my way. I will team up with my district partner and protect her(lies) . Anyone who messes with Claudia will have to deal with me, and they'll suffer for the price of it. I'm going to win these games, if I don't, Claudia will. And that's a promise to you all.'' District 2's Byron smiled.
''Thank you Byron!'' Teddy shouted.
''District fours Isaac Fisher. How you doing Isaac?''
''I'm doing well, how about yourself?'' District 4's Isaac replied.
''I'm doing well, thank you for asking.'' Teddy responded.
''So Isaac. What is your plan for these games?''
''Don't die.'' Isaac responded.
''Haha, everyone in this building is laughing because of you, you funny little man. So tell me, that bruise that you have on your right cheek. Is that from fighting with another tribute, or?''
''Oh this? Yeah, well it's not from a tribute here, but. See it's from a bully of mine back in district 4. He wanted to pick a fight with me because of a girl that didn't like him, but she liked me. He tried to attack me, but if you knew me, I taught him a lesson or two. But, I'm not to type to fight without a reason.'' District 4's Isaac replied..
''Well, you sure are the tough one. The females seem to be loving you as well.'' Teddy said. ''I'm glad to have interviewed you Isaac.''
''Thank you, it's always a pleasure to be anywhere in the capitol.'' District 4's Isaac said.
''So, you're from district 7 right?'' Teddy asked.
''Yes sir!'' District 7's Rosewood answered in an optimistic voice.
''You are very pretty, I bet a ton of boys go for you back home huh? The ones in the capitol seem to like you.'' Teddy said.
''I guess you could say that.'' District 7's Rosewood blushed.
''Haha, I love it. What is your strategy in the games?'' Teddy wondered.
''To run to the cornucopia, grab a hammer and a bag. If I try to run, and bump into another tribute, I'll attack. I'll hide out and try to survive for the first couple of days, and surely make my way to win.'' District 7's Rosewood stated.
''Any allies?'' Teddy asked.
''My district partner.'' District 7's Rosewood answered.
''Thank you Rosewood!'' Teddy yelled.
''So Blaine, you're the male tribute from district 10. People were really fond of you ever since the chariot rides. You've managed to hold their love, how?'' Teddy pondered.
''By just being me. I'm here to compete, even if it means losing my life, I'll do it for the capitol people. I've grown to think of the capitol people as my family, and they will continue to be. I'll win for you guys!'' District 10's Blaine told the world.
''THANK YOU BLAINE!'' Teddy yelled on the mic.
As Blaine walked out, Heidi stopped him. ''Hey, don't let the fame come to your head. Just because some stupid chariot rides got you the attention of the capitol people doesn't mean you'll win. Sponsors won't always be there for you, and they sure as hell won't make you win. Your choices do...'' She said in jealousy.
''See your just jealous, but I understand what you're saying. I won't let it get to my head, I promise.'' He told his partner.
''Chisholm there fearless girl from 11. How have you been doing?'' Teddy asked.
''Well, I miss district 11 a lot! But, besides that, I've been doing really well. I've become kind of accustomed to the capitol life style, and it's really nice to be honest.'' Chisholm answered.
''Nice. So, do you think you have a chance?'' Teddy questioned her.
''If I'm honest, yes.'' Everyone including her and Teddy in the audience laughed. They all knew that the she was honest, and they loved her for that. ''I can't wait to compete.'' She squealed.
''Thank you miss Cherrybottom.''
''No problem my good man.'' Chisholm smiled.
''Our last person of the night, Colton. Young man, how do you believe you will die in this competition?'' Teddy asked.
''I'm not gonna win if I'm honest.'' He replied sadly.
''Now what type of answer is that? You surely must be joking.'' Teddy jumped.
''No, I'm serious.'' Colton sighed.
''Well now, capitol. Why don't we give our young tribute a cheer up. What do you say Colton?'' Teddy asked.
''I guess.'' He looked tired.
''You heard him capitol! Let us all cheer him on!''
''Colton, Colton, Colton, Colton, Colton...'' The capitol people all said. They loved this young guy, but he wasn't confident in himself. He smiled at their effort to bring him up, and it worked. He was happy and announced to the capitol people that he would win for them.
''FINALLY! You have given us what we came here to see. Thank you Colton, and have a nice day.'' Teddy exclaimed. ''Well everyone, the interviews are all over. I hope that you enjoyed this fantastic bunch of tributes that we have in stock for you. Let's see if one of your favorites could win. Just to make this interesting, let's have a vote. From now until the day before the games, we will have a vote for these 24 tributes on who you guys believe will win the games. The person with most votes will win, thank you all for joining Capitol TV once again, we'll see you all next time; have a wonderful day!''
''You guys are some lying ass people. You with your love for Pia, and you with you and Claudia will win, it's all bull.'' District 5's Oswald stated.
''Obviously. I'm gonna win this for myself.'' District 2's Byron said.
''Yeah, and my love isn't fake for Pia ok? It's real, it's really real.'' District 1's Cartier joked.
''Oh get the hell out of here!'' District 1's Pia yelled.
''Plus I do it to piss her off.'' District 1's Cartier snickered.
''I thought it was fun!'' District 7's Rosewood told the rest.
''Well time to head back to the hotels. At 8:00pm, they will be giving you your scores. I love how most of you handled these interviews. Colton, I love the way you dealt with that situation. You made it seem like you weren't sure what you were doing here, but I knew that you were just kidding.''
''Yeah, I'm glad you noticed.'' Colton answered nervously.
Everybody finished taking a shower and it's 8pm the scores have come on
''Welcome all to the 1st Annual Hunger Games tributes scoring grid. For those of you who don't know, all 24 tributes went to the training hall, and had an independent practice section with the head gamemakers and they scored them on the way they dodged attacks, used their weapons, and their other abilities. So, to not waste your time any longer, let's get to the scores.
District 1 Pia Score of: 9
District 1 Cariter Score of:10
District 2 Claudia Score of:10
District 2 Byron Score of:9
District 3 Lectra Score of:5
District 3 Arthur Score of:4
District 4 Nila Score of:3
District 4 Isaac Score of:9
District 5 Amell Score of:2
District 5 Oswald Score of:4
District 6 Helen Score of:7
District 6 Jet Score of:5
District 7 Rosewood Score of:11
District 7 Ewan Score of:9
District 8 Calico Score of:5
District 8 Denim Score of:3
District 9 Senwe Score of:11
District 9 Dagan Score of:7
District 10 Heidi Score of:8
District 10 Blaine Score of:9
District 11 Chisholm Score of:10
District 11 Ackley Score of:9
District 12 Allison Score of:6
District 12 Colton Score of:2
''Well, aren't those some interesting scores. The scores that stand out to me the most are Rosewood, the female from district 7, and Senwe, the female from district 9. The both of them must be really good with weapons. I would see these two as a HUGE threat. I could probably see most tributes wanting to team with the two because of what they might've shown the gamemakers. Well anyways, congratulations to the tributes for making it far.
''Aww wow, a score of 2?'' District 12's Colton sighed.
''Hey, at least no one will find you as a threat!'' Allison jumped. ''You could be the small guy that nobody even notices. No one will pay attention to you, and think that you're dead or something in the arena. Then, you could surprise attack everyone if you're lucky enough to get the chance. Who knows, you might even win.''
''She's right.'' District 12's escort, Xinia said.
''Thanks guys.'' Colton was relieved.
They all hugged each other. Colton was the least of anyone's worries. He could probably pull of an easy victory if he's lucky. Colton, the man of district 12, the one everyone is looking at. The one that everyone wants to cheer on, is finally positive about his chances.
''Congrats Rosewood.'' Ewan congratulated.
''Thank you sweetie.'' Rosewood jumped.
The both hugged each other, and Ewan was confused at what was going on, but he just let it be. They both laughed and talked for a while.
''So, I'm the one who's gonna die first in our district?'' District 1's Cartier joked.
''Shut up, it's just a score. Scores don't mean anything. Just wait until we get into the arena.'' Pia said as she was standing right in front of Cartiers face with her nose touching his. ''I will destroy you...''
''Mwahh!'' was the sound Cartier made.
Pia jumped back, turned around, and smiled.
''You both got really good scores, I'm proud of the both of you.'' District 2's escort Cherese said.
''Thank you, I think mine should've been higher though.'' Byron angrily muttered.
''I'm perfectly fine with mine.'' Claudia laughed. ''What did you do in your practice time?''
''I switched from weapon to weapon over and over again.'' Byron told them.
''That's why, they probably don't like the idea that you're indecisive about which weapon to choose. That's what could cause you to be killed, and that's what they thought about the most.'' Claudia stated.
''You're probably right, I'm gonna go to sleep now. Have a good night the two of you.'' Byron said.
The both looked at him because they have never seen him anywhere as polite as that. They went back to eating their dinner and watching capitol television.
''Well, I'm glad that I got a high score.'' District 4's Isaac told his teammate and escort.
''I'm not, I got a low score.'' District 4's Nila said.
''Well you probably did something wrong, don't you think?'' Isaac commented.
''No, I was perfect.'' Nila stated.
''That's what's gonna get you killed darling, that attitude of yours.'' Isaac got up. ''I'm gonna go to bed, night guys. And Nila, be careful honey, it's not that simple. Your attitude won't get you sponsors, and it definitely won't get you and partners in these games.''
''Not even you?!'' Nila yelled.
''I don't know, let's see.'' Isaac snapped.
Every tribute went to sleep. Tomorrow would be the day where they all got to roam the capitol, and do anything that they wanted. They would eat as much as they wanted to fill them up. After two days, they would finally enter the arena. The Hunger Games is just about to begin. Trust Me...
