XxxInterviewsxxX
Caesar sits in the velvet chair and fixes his tie. "Hello Panem, welcome to the tribute Interviews!"
The crowd cheers like crazy. Caesar shushed them and continues. "We're going to start out with the lovely Glint Sparrow!" The crowd goes wild as the Career girl walks out in a form fitting black dress with matching heels. Her hair is left down, it has grown out a bit since the reaping, in curls.
Glint shakes Caesar's hand and takes her seat.
"So, Glint, what do you think of the competition this year?"
Glint smirks. "Did you say competition? What competition? I sure don't see any." She says slyly. Caesar laughs.
"So, you think you'll win without any difficulty?" Caesar asks.
Glint smiles. "No, Caesar. I don't think I can win." She pauses. "I know I will win."
The crowd applauds loudly. Caesar hushes them so he can ask his last question.
"One last thing. Have you ever been underground before?"
Glint raises her eyebrow. "I beg your pardon?"
"Have you ever been underground before?" Caesar asks, slower.
Glint wrinkles her eyebows. "I.. can't say I have."
Caesar nods and the buzzer goes off.
Mila Aaron Interview (District 2)
Mila walks on to stage, in a mid calf length, flowy sea blue dress. Her hair is in a bun and she has on white heels.
"Good evening, Mila, how are you tonight?"
Mila sits down in her chair. "Fine." she says quietly. "Yourself?"
Caesar laughs. "Good, but I believe I'm the one asking the questions here."
The crowd laughs and Mila forces a small chuckle. "So, Mila, what's your thought on the tributes this year?"
Mila thinks for a second. "They'll be tough, I'm sure, but I know I have a chance."
"Oh, what's your strategy to beat them?"
Mila rolls her eyes. "And, why would I give that away?" she says with a laugh. Caesar chuckles.
"One more question." Caesar says. Mila raises her eyebrows to signify that she's listening.
"Are you good at mazes?"
Mila contemplates her answer for a second. "Well... I guess so, I rarely have time to do anything like that with fe-"
The buzzer sounds and Mila leaves.
Kendrick Reddwillow Interview (District 2)
Kendrick walks on stage in a gray suit. He shakes Caesar's hand then takes his seat.
"So, Kendrick, how are you tonight?"
"Pretty good. Quite nervous for the Games tomorrow, really."
"Isn't everyone? Speaking of the Games, what do you think of the tributes this year?"
"Well, I can't at all say that it will be easy to win. You have the Careers, for one thing, with Glint's confidence, Serena and Azgaro's experience, and Acacia's skill, and then you have the littler kids, Spiral and Orchid and them, who I don't know if even the Careers could kill, and you have the one's going alone, Brook and Julius, who are, for all I know, pretty considerable threats. And then there's me and my alliance..." Kendrick trails off. Caesar leans in, interested.
"You and your alliance? I would guess you were a Career."
"Oh, no. Mila and I don't like the Careers. Me, Mila, Tasi, Callum, and Azura made an alliance to get rid of them."
"Oh, that's something new! Well, how do you think that will turn out?" Caesar asks.
Kendrick thinks. "I'm shaky on that. It might work, but if I go down, at least I'll be fighting."
The buzzer rings and the crowd cheers as Kendrick walks out.
Serena Dragimir Interview (District 3)
The crowd goes crazy as Serena Dragimir walks in. She has on a blood red dress with black lace sleeves that go over the shoulders. She has on matching red heels and her hair is held back in a hight ponytail.
Serena takes her seat.
"So, Serena, just to start things off, I see you're a Victor?" Caesar asks. Serena nods, stiffly.
"Then why, may I ask, did you volunteer?"
Serena sighs. "A little girl, about two years old got picked. So I went in for her. I can do it again, I don't want to, but I definitely can." Serena responds. Caesar nods.
"And, I see you're a Career tribute?"
Serena nods. "I was planning on going alone, but they asked me, so I joined."
"Mmhm.. Last question. Have you ever been underground?"
Serena raises her eyebrow. "No, why in the world do you need to know tha-"
The buzzer sounds and Serena leaves without an answer.
Acacia Yandalu Interview (District 4)
Acacia comes in wearing a light, airy blue flowy knee length dress, her hair left down wavy. She has a head piece made of nets.
Acacia takes her seat. "So, Acacia, how do you feel about the tributes this year?" Caesar asks.
"I think I have a good shot at beating them." Acacia responds. Caesar nods.
"With what? What's your best weapon?" Caesar asks.
"Well, I guess I'm pretty handy with a sword. Tridents too." Acacia says simply.
"Ah, I would think so. Last thing. You like mazes?"
Acacia wrinkles her eyebrows. "I guess, I don't do them very much though..."
The buzzer goes off and Acacia walks off, confused.
Azgaro Ice Interview (District 4)
Azgaro walks on stage in a blue suit with a black bow tie, his hair slicked back neatly. He waves his arms at the crowd and gestures for them to applaud more. Azgaro shakes hands with Caesar then sits down.
"So Azgaro, how are you doing tonight?" Caesar asks enthusiastically.
"Pretty good. Not exactly happy about tomorrow, but pretty good." Azgaro answers. Caesar nods.
"Now, Azgaro, you did this all before, do you think you can do it all again?"
Azgaro hesitates then nods slowly. "I think I have a shot. It's different every year, really, but I do have a shot."
"A pretty big one if I do say so myself. Now, last thing. I understand you have a sister? What did you say to her before you left?"
Azgaro raises his eyebrows at the quite personal question. "Yes. I told Avery that I would do my best to win. That I would try even hard then I did last time. She wants me to come home, Caesar, and I want to get her what she wants."
Caesar nods and the buzzer goes off. The crowd cheers like wild as the former victor walks off stage.
Orchid Whishart Interview (District 5)
Orchid Whishart walks on stage, looking at the ground and smiling shyly. She tucks a piece of curly brown hair behind her ear and sits down.
She smooths the creases in her flowy baby pink dress as Caesar shakes her hand.
"Hello, Orchid, how are you tonight?"
Orchid smiles shyly. "Good, I guess." she says, knees shaking.
"Now, don't be shy! We're all friends here, right?" Caesar exclaims. The crowd cheers their approval. Orchid nods and smiles.
"So, I see you're one of the younger tributes. Do you see that as a disadvantage?" Caesar asks.
Orchid thins for a second. "Kind of... It's not quite fair, we're little kids. Pre-teens at the most. And we are being put up against people who have won before already. I'd say, yeah, it is a bit of a disadvantage."
Caesar nods, interested. "Do you have allies that are your age?"
Orchid nods. "Dixie, Ribbon and I are allies, we might pick up Spiral, Ben, and Motrid."
"Oh, that's interesting. Quite a big alliance. Last thing, have you ever been underground before?"
Orchid wrinkles her eyebrows. "Can't say I have, why do you keep asking this questio-"
The buzzer rings in mid sentence and the crowd cheers as Orchid leaves.
Ben Striker Interview (District 5)
Ben Striker walks in, wearing a black suit that's a bit oversized on him. He shakes Caesar's hand then sits down.
"So, Ben, how do you feel about tomorrow? Are you ready for the Games?" Caesar asks Ben.
"Scared... I don't wanna die..." Ben answers in a quiet, shaky voice.
"Oh, don't be scared Ben! You'll be fine, I'm sure!" Caesar tells him reassuringly, patting Ben's back. Ben smiles.
"And, I'm sure you'll have allies protecting you?"
Ben nods. "Me and Motrid are teamed up and maybe Orchid, Dixie, and Ribbon." Ben says. Caesar nods.
"I'm sure they'll keep you safe." Caesar says. "One more question. Do you like mazes?"
Ben nods. "I've only done them a little, but they're fun."
The buzzer goes off and the crowd cheers as Ben exits the stage.
Brook Phillips Interview (District 6)
Brook walks on stage in a small electric yellow dress, her hair let down and very curly. She sits down and holds out her petite hand to shake Caesar's .
"So, Brook, how are you tonight?" Caesar asks.
Brook nods and smiles. "Good."
"How do you feel about going into the games?"
Brook thinks for a second. "Given the circumstances of the situation, I am quite nervous, yet I will do what I need to do."
"Ah, I see. Do you think you can win?" Caesar asks, leaning in to hear her.
"Possibly, I guess. I have a shot. My goal is to stay clear of them all. If they can't find me, they can't take me out." she says carefully.
The buzzer goes off, and Brook exits as the crowd roars.
Motrid Twil Interview (District 6)
Motrid walks on stage in a electric yellow suit to match Brook's dress. It's a bit big on him, though, so hen her goes to shake Caesar's hand the sleeves cover his small hands.
After saying hello, Caesar goes to his first question. "So, Motrid, how do you feel about tomorrow?"
Motrid thinks. "I'm a little scared, but I'm tough! I'm gonna go and stay safe hiding in the dirt!"
Caesar chuckles. "Shh, Motrid, don't go giving away your strategy!" Motrid clamps his hand over his mouth.
"Oh no!" he says. Caesar laughs.
"It's okay," he says, laughing. "So, what do you think of the tributes this year?"
"They're nice! I talked to all of them, and the weird girl with red highlights- I think her name is Serena- told me really nicely to get lost!"
Caesar chuckles once more. "Lastly, have you ever been underground before?"
"No, but I want to! It'd be really cool with all the dirt and rocks, and I bet my friend Hyedrik back home would love it, an-"
The buzzer goes off and Motrid leaves the stage, the audience going crazy.
Tasi Merkava Interview (District 7)
Tasi walks onstage in a grreen and brown suit. It somehow resembles a tree. He shakes Caesar's hand and sits down.
"So, Tasi, what do you think of the competition this year?"
"It'll be tough. But I have shot. I can beat them if I really try, and really try I will." Tasi responds, making sure not to give away any of his strategy.
"I see... So, I hear you're in an alliance? To take out the 'Career Tributes'?" Caesar asks excitedly. Tasi nods.
"Yes. We will try to take them out of the Game." Tasi says. Caesar raises his eyebrows, expecting a longer answer, but it seems as if Tasi is going for the 'silent power' angle.
"And how do you plan on doing that?"
Tasi smirks. "Watch and see."
The buzzer goes off and Tasi leaves to the sound of the audience roaring.
Ribbon Lakey Interview (District 8)

Ribbon takes her seat as Caesar starts to come down on her with questions.
"So, Ribbon, what do you think about the tributes this year?"
"Hm, I like most of them. Me and Dixie and Orchid are ginna hide together and stay away from everyone else." Ribbon says happilyy. Caesar nods.
"Do you like your little alliance?" Caesars asks. Ribbon nods her head.
"Yeah, I like it a lot. They want to keep me safe from everyone." she says sweetly.
"Ah, isn't that nice. One more thing. Have you ever been underground before, Ribbon?"
Ribbon shakes her head no. "No, I haven't. Why do you ask?"
The buzzer goes off, coincidentally, to Caesar's relief. The crowd cheers as the small girl walks off stage.
Callum Grell Interview (District 8)
Callum comes on stage with an outfit on that looks a lot like his chariot outfit. He takes his seat in a red velvet chair and the interview starts.
"So, Callum, you're a volunteer, I see. But you're from District Eight, and it's not common for a volunteer to come from there. Can I ask, why exactly did you volunteer?"
Callum sighs. "My sister, Grace, she's sick in bed with the flu. She's near death now, I bet, and she's only seven. I volunteered so I could win, so I could go back and get her expensive medicine, so I could get her a better life. If I don't win, then I know someone will tend to her, but I really need to be there for her." he says sadly, his eyes a bit teared up. Caesar nods, understanding.
"Oh, that's terrible. But we all know you have a chance." Caesar says. He turns to the crowd. "Right?"
The crowd roars in response and Callum grins.
"Ah, we're losing time. One more question, Callum. You afraid of mutts?"
Callum shrugs. "I haven't really encountered one myself, and I hope to keep it that way..."

Azura takes her seat then the questions start coming.
"So, Azura, let me take a second to honor you. Audience, Azura Night is the youngest Hunger Games Victor EVER!" Caesar shouts to the crowd. They cheer.
Azura smiles. "Yep, you got that right."
"So, do you think you can win again?" Caesar asks.
Azura's smile falters. "I guess. It will definitely be tougher than last time." she says.
"What do you think about competing against former Victors, and people of any age?"
Azura frowns. "It's cruel. Evil. I hate it. i'm completely against it. You could have an old ma- senior citizen, I mean- and a baby, facing off in the end. It's absolutely horrible."
Caesar nods, and frantically searches for a question to ask in his head. You can't really turn an interview around, back in your control, when the interviewee has insulted all of you.
To Caesar'a relief, the buzzer goes off and Azura leaves, grinning.
Dixie Therpast Interview (District 11)
Dixie comes on stage in a dress that looks like it's made completely out of plants, it looks amazing. Her hair is left down and she is wearind a crown of vines.
Dixie takes her seat. "So, Dixie, how are you tonight?" Caesar asks.
"Fine," Dixie replies. "A bit nervous, but fine,"
"How do you feel about being one of the younger tributes? Do you feel you stand a chance?"
Dixie sighs. "Maybe. I don't know. Only time can tell. But, really. I just want to go home, Caesar, to my family. Is that really too much to want?" she says. Caesar sighs.
"I really don't know. In some cases, you just don't get all that you want. But, you stand a chance, that, I am sure of." Caesar says. Dixie smiles.
"Maybe I do."
The buzzer goes off and Dixie leaves, smiling and thinking.
Bradley Scale Interview, (District 11)
Bradley crawls on to stage in a cow costume...
"So Bradley, what do you think of the tributes this year?" Caesar asks helplessly.
Bradley just shrieks and cries in return. The whole interview goes like that, but Bradley would occasionally laugh and clap happily, makingg the audience gush over him.
Spiral Blue Interview (District Twelve)
Spiral skips on stage in a princess styled poofy pink dress, her stylist obviously wanted her to go for the cute angle. She accomplishes this easily.
"So, Spiral, how are you tonight?" Caesar asks. Spiral grins.
"Great! My mentor gave me candy before I came!" Spiral says happily.
"Oh, candy? What kind?" Caesar asks.
"Gumdrops! They taste so good!"
"Really? Wow. Last question, Spiral. Have you ever been underground before?"
"No, but my mommy and daddy have! They go in the mines and look for coal!"
"Oh, really? Will you ever work in the mines?" Caesar asks.
Spiral nods. "When I go back home after this, 'cause I'm done being made pretty. I have to be eighteen though."
The buzzer goes off and Spiral leaves as the audience cheers.
Julius Pow Interview (District 12)
Julius comes on stage in a coal black suit. He strides arrogantly to his seat and shakes Caesar's hand.
"So, Julius, what do you think of the competition this year?" Caesar asks. Julius smirks.
"It'll be so easy to take them all out. Games'll be done in less than a week." Julius replies cockily.
"So, what you're saying is that you're one hundred percent sure you'll win?"
He rolls his beady eyes. "Exactly. There's no way I won't win." Julius says. Caesar nods.
"Who do you think is the toughest contender?" Caesar asks.
"Me. But, other than that, maybe Azgaro. Though, I want him to be my first kill." Julius says, smirking.
"Last question, Julius. Are you afraid of mutts?"
"Mutts?" Julius asks, as if he didn't hear him correctly. "'Course not. I've encountered enough tracker jackers to last me a life time."
The buzzer goes off, and Julius leaves to the sound of the crowd roaring.
Azgaro Ice POV, Backstage.
First kill, eh? That knucklehead wants me as his first kill? Hmph. I'll definitely be showing him a lesson tomorrow..
Glint Sparrow POV
Ah, how I love to learn about my fellow tributes...
Cliff Hanger! *kind of*
Next is the GAMES! WOOT WOOT!
