I literally put my sassy, sarcastic self in Crystal

Interviews

Crystal Flickerman

I smiled once I got on stage. I really loved this job as it was quite fun and very relaxing to see all these tributes before they were sent off to go to the Hunger Games. I really was excited for that and see who the next victor of this year would be.

My dress was a short, light blue dress with sparkles that was seen to the stomach all the way so the elbow-length sleeves with frilly light blue material to the bottom. It only reached to my knees that were matched with matching high-heels that were quite sparkly. Yes, I love things sparkly though. My hair was half put up the same way I liked it. I like the dress I picked out. It really wasn't that special.

"Our first tribute… Brooklyn Velvet!"

Brooklyn came out all smiling and standing up quite confidently. Her dress was a short blue dress that was plain though but at least it was nice though.

"So, Brooklyn. What do you like about being in District 1?" I asked her while Brooklyn smiled her sweet smile that really didn't fool me but I hoped that the Capitolites would. They usually did. She played the sweet and innocent card from her posture and her voice.

"It's not much different about the Capitol but I guess it's the houses, Crystal," Brooklyn told the audience which made the audience clap and whistle once the buzzer went off. Nice.

"Jasinta Brooke!"

Jasinta came out with a grey high neck dress that reached all the way to the gown. It was longs sleeves and able to look at her shoulders with sparkles on the top off. It looked nice, not really showy though and maybe fade into the background if I have to do seventy more tributes.

"Jasinta, do you plan to follow your parents footsteps of being a victor?"

"Of course, I am," Jasinta's voice was laced with innocence but with a bit of confidence and venom. It sounded force but I didn't miss the wink that was directed towards the audience. Acting flirty too just like all those other kids.

"Alexis Rain!"

Alexis came out with a gold dress that reached to her knees like all the other dresses. There's a thing called long dresses, not knee-length stylists. Oh and please don't make the tributes wear the same thing. It looked tight looking which almost made me what to gag. Oh why do I do this job? Does the stylists have no imagination at all?

"Hello," Alexis smiled, batting her eyelashes. Oh god, here we go again.

"So Alexis, what are your thoughts about the Capitol?" I really need to find more questions that weren't so lame and eye rolling but it was the only thing that came to mind.

"Oh it's so wonderful. I just love the fashions… Everything!" Alexis purred making me want to gag. How many more tributes? I think I might need whiskey or maybe something stronger.

"Shane Thompson!"

Hey look it's a grey tux. It's super plain and it's fabulous. Not really but. It's something.

"Do you miss anyone at home?" The obvious question. Of course he does. Gosh I need more good questions besides these.

"I miss my family and friends a lot though… But I'm hoping that I could come back, Crystal," Shane smiled, looking very composed. He played the nice guy card really well I'm impressed. Even though the fashion sense was a little bland though but still.

"Maverick Silver!"

Maverick waves. It's not a tuxedo, I really applaud the stylists creativity! He had a white shirt with three buttons open and black trousers which looked very nice on him though.

"So…" Before I could start someone shouted.

"Pull down your pants!" A capitolite-a woman from the sound of it.

Maverick smiled and stood up and lowered his pants to reveal his member. Yeah, this is going well. He played seductive right after that.

"Duncan Gloomberg!"

Duncan wore a suit with a navy blue jacket with a white shirt and black dress pants. Well doesn't that look charming.

"Do you have any plans for the games?"

"Of course like all careers do," was his answer which sounded so smart though.

"Did you know that your dad played a part for you to volunteer?"

"What?" Duncan was confused. Oops, I guess he didn't know.

"Virginia Valor!" I ushered him off the stage.

Virginia wore a black dress with gold swirls on the bottom with matching earrings. Kinda cool though.

"Do you have a favourite sister?"

Virginia laughed, "Nope, I love my sisters equelly."

She made a few witty remarks and always responded in a love voice every time her sisters were mentioned. I guess that was nice.

Sabina came on with only a grey dress with the matching gold jewelry just like her sister.

"What about you, Sabina? Which sister is your favourite?"

"I like both, Crystal… They're both something special and we're happy to be sisters," Sabina replied in a sweet and loving tone which made the Capitolites swoon.

"Livia Valor!"

Livia came on with a white dress with the same jewelry like her other sisters had on. It seemed the stylists wanted them to be in the exact same thing just different colour dresses. So original… NOT!

"So that five… What happened out there?"

"I don't know what you're talking about though… I tried my best though," Her voice sounded so innocent and held a little ignorance in it. But something told me she knew what exactly happened out there. Who gets a five from a career district? That's practically unheard of. Maybe she was under the weather and had a fever?

"Jason Bridges!"

A simple suit that was just plain. Not creative.

"Did someone special came with you?"

"My girlfriend, Sabina… I'm going to protect her as I'm being honest with you," was his reply. I guess that's fair.

"Nolan Argent!"

And nothing knew just a black suit. Stop with the suits. Have a guy dress in a girls dress.

"So do you plan on winning the Hunger Games?" No, of course he does. Like every single tribute like they were going there for dying.

"Of course… I'm confident that I could win this," he said with his voice strong of confidence. "I'm strong also."

"Bodhi Miller!"

Different coloured, you guess it! A Tux! With it being navy blue. I really love this job so much and I'm still on District 2 ugh, this is going to take me all night and I need my beauty rest.

"Do you plan on killing any tributes?"

"I can not say, Crystal," Bodhi said, he batted his eyelashes towards me which I really didn't find it cute but my job is to please and make these tributes presentable.

"Avery Jackson!"

Avery wore a tight, miniscule dress that looked practically see through and from her tense body language that she looked uncomfortable in it which hopefully I could cheer her up.

"What do you like about your family?"

"It's kinda diverse as my siblings and I are originally from African Americans and our stepmoms are white so it's really cool," poor Avery batted her eyelashes and smiled at the crowd but it seemed that she didn't want to and she sounded like her voice was kinda causal with a little forced seduction but it sounded like she hated it.

"That's cool," I answered before the buzzer went off.

"Jesse Mackintosh!"

She wore a blue dress that was very sparkly which almost made me want to touch it. What's with blue this year? Am I missing something like a trend or something?

"You look beautiful," I commented.

"Well, Julie and I are the same thing so it's hard to identify us though but we could beat this hopefully," Jesse replied in a determined way.

"Julie Mackintosh!"

"Your sister said you two looked the same, I guess she was right," I joked which made the Capitol laugh.

"We usually dress the same as we always preferred each other's company," Julie replied, smiling. "We both have our strengths and weaknesses that makes us who we are."

"Say hello to your sister for me," Crystal laughed.

"Kolt Stants!"

Kolt, yay it wasn't a bloody suit. It was something more phonmenal than boring. He wore a prism screen that changed every few seconds that it covered his body which was actually cool and flashy.

"What are you grateful in your life?" It's a decent question, wow.

"I think that I may have a tough life but I'm probably am lucky; I have skills that probably aren't-" Kolt cut off before he started again only sounding a little meaner or a little rude. "Maybe you shouldn't poke around in other people's personal life, Ocean freak."

Well then…

"Kane Jane!" I silently snicker to myself at the mention of his last name. Jane, that's a first name but well Panem was crazy so yeah.

He wore a silvery suit which really wasn't anything special though as it was lame, lame and more lame. I'm only concerned how well he played his part and get my job more easier though so it shouldn't be that bad.

"Kane, what an odd suit."

"Yes, well it's not like I like the colour," Kane told me in a stiff manner. "It was a good colour but after my sister died it was just a constant memory of her."

"That's terrible," I commented, "Isn't that right?"

The audience cheered just like they always did. It seemed that Kane composed himself more and became more opener.

"Denzi Mallokov!"

Denzi wore a green jacket with a sapphire shirt with black trousers. It wasn't a suit, woah.

"So Denzi, did you leave someone behind when you got reaped?"

Silence and that was how it ended also. He probably didn't talk (couldn't be avoxed though they never allow avoxes as tributes.) or was very uncomfortable to talk. I seen many things during the Interviews.

"Delta Pikes!"

Delta came out very composed wearing a lace shirt with a sea green skirt with brown woven accessories which really was cool though. I liked it.

"What's your family like?"

"This and that. I have a father and a sister so it's not too bad," Delta replied, vaguely. Well, she sure played that card right.

"Pearl Never!"

Pearl wore a violet dress with bell-shaped sleeves. It looked kinda nice on her though.

"So why did you volunteer?"

"Wouldn't you if you knew your life was crappy and this is very grand of going to the Hunger Games," Pearl's answer was definitely sarcastic.

"Yeah," I agreed. I tried playing the naive card about her sarcasticness which probably failed.

"Andromeda Waters!"

She wore a mermaid like dress that was all blue, probably a shade darker than what mine looked like but at least it wasn't like mine.

"Are you allying with the careers?"

"Well, since I'm young and it's a little chaotic, I doubt they would have accepted another fourteen year old and I'm perfectly happy with Pearl though she can be a bit crabby," Andromeda replied, in a carefree manner.

"Triton Wells!"

Triton wore a blue suit with a white tie, it really was so creative. What's with blue?

"So is it true that the careers are being chaotic?"

"We were a little rocky due to our size but I'm confident that we will rock the arena," Triton replied.

"Justin Shore!"

Justin came on wearing a blue suit which really was getting a bit old though but that's just my opinion.

"Do you have a special girl?"

"I do… I have a crush on a girl that came with me but I doubt she realized I exist but I saved her from drowning once which was completely stupid of me though but an act of heroism though."

"Luke Cahill!"

Luke came on, wearing a simple suit which really wasn't anything special. I think I'm sick of all these boring suits as if I was going to be dead soon I would wear a t-shirt and and pants and maybe glare at people but like that would actually happen.

"How are you Luke?"

"I'm doing fabulous," he responded.

"Are you prepared of going into the games?"

"I'm prepared of what I know but I still have skills to show for it," Luke recited almost like a robot. Mysterious really did him well.

"Zippina Lumen!"

Zippina wore a midnight black dress with more wires just liked her parade outfit or so I'm told but it did look like it so it looked cool.

"What's your plan during the Games?"

"I have a good few backup plans but that's all I'm going to say," Zippina replied.

"Sabrina Snider!"

Sabrina's dress was a blue, periwinkle which looked pretty on her but it's blue. That's like the 10th one I saw or more now.

"Anything you like to do at home?"

"Run around a lot, Crystal," Sabrina responded with a bit of cheerfulness and some friendliness to it.

"Pepper Aspen!"

Pepper wore an odd dress that was yellow with a black ribbon it. Supposed to look pretty or something but at least it was different.

"Any allies?"

"One, her name is Sabrina and we made friendship bracelets."

"Martin Tesla!"

It's another tux, I really think I may need something strong tonight. Just keep it together, Crystal. Just seven more districts to do. If it was a normal year than I would be done but I could do this, I hope. At least it wasn't blue but it was yellow with a black tie. So creative.

"So are you excited about the Games?"

"I'm just a little nervous about tomorrow but I'll do just fine I hope, Crystal," Martin said.

"I have hope for you," I commented.

"Poseidon Norkwood!"

Poseidon was actually hilarious and I really wanted to burst out laughing until my ribs cracked. It wasn't a suit thank goodness. He was a unicorn and looked very happy about it. He had a white-pink tint for gis onesie pjs with a wild mane and tail that had multiple collars that looked like a rainbow. He also had a horn which really looked cute on him.

"Are you looking forward to be in the games?"

"I'm not that scared besides what did the vampire say to the dentist?"

"What?"

"I have a terrible pain in my fang," Poseidon said, making the audience and I crack up. Nice…

"James Attwood!"

James wore an orange tux with a black undershirt that was barely noticeable but I could still see it with an orange tie, pants and black shoes. Looks like a pumpkin.

"Hi, I'm James," he introduced.

"Crystal," I said before I asked, "Why do you look like a pumpkin if you don't mind me asking?"

"My stylist picked it out claiming it looked cute," He said. Charming…

"Emmy Feilds!"

Emmy was in a silky pink dress that looked like a good fit that it reached to her knees. It brought out her innocence a lot though.

"So Emmy, is anyone rooting for you at home?"

"My brother Oskar and Olivia who's too young to know about this," Emmy replied.

"What about your parents?"

"Avoxed," was a the reply.

"Rebecca Angel!"

Rebecca was decent in a silver dress that was a bit lose on her but I doubt she noticed or she was hiding.

"Feelings about the Hunger Games?"

"It sucks and I hate it," Rebecca replied, getting a bit angry. Weird...

"Bianco Valet!"

Leather, how quaint. It was definitely something interesting and less dressy though but it was relief to see something new.

"So are you scared about going into the Hunger Games?"

"Should I? I see thrill," Bianco exclaimed. Okay, than…

"Walter Angel!"

Walter look was different; probably it was just a grey bodysuit with his name in the corner which looked weird but okay.

"Do you think you're able to win?"

"I have a good fighting chance," he said in a confident manner.

"TJ Vitras!"

"It's good to see you," I said. He wore a black and white tux; the left side being white and the right black.

"You to," He said, smiling warmly.

"Have any allies?"

"Yes, Crystal," He said. "My buddy Carlos and my a few girls." A little charming and still a bit secretive though.

"Carlos Grigori!"

Carlos looked about the same as TJ and wore the same but different outfit. The right side white and the left black.

"Your friend mentioned that you're allies with him, is it true?"

"Of course, Crystal. TJ and I grew up together and have a few other allies too," Carlos said. The same secretive but yet charming on him also.

"Mollie Plover!"

Mollie came on wearing a short, lace, white dress with long sleeves and an open back with a high neckline in front with heels and a messy hairstyle with a small flower crown woven in.

"What do you miss back home?"

"I miss… my family and friends though but if I didn't get reaped than I wouldn't met a few of my allies but I'm hoping to stay alive, Crystal," Mollie replied.

"You'll come back."

"Silvana Daphne!"

Silvana walked on with a black tank top and a forest coloured shirt, which looked decent not forced. I liked it.

"Any game plans?"

"I don't have any games plans currently but I'll make one up," She replied, her voice full of confidence.

"Silvia Johansson!"

Silvia came out wearing a soft, green dress with a halter top and a full skirt that reaches to the ground. The hem and waist are embroidered with a vine design in tiny crystal leaves. On her feet she wore brown flats with leaves embroidered into them. Her long hair hangs loose in soft curls with natural makeup.

"Don't you look dashing," I commented.

"I like the dress a lot. I got a good stylist this year," so innocent but being vague at the same time.

"Tim Hunter!"

Tim came with a grin on his face as he sat down on the other chair. He wore a simple outfit; a grey button up and black trousers.

"Who's in your family?"

"My sister and my parents," He said. "I was being blue so I turned into a comedian."

I laughed even though it did not make sense though but at least the audience loves him.

"Birch McCray!"

Birch came on wearing something dark and cold with an angry expression. Someone is not happy.

"What's your favourite thing about the Capitol?"

"Save it sunshine, you won't be in the games so don't," Birch replied.

Yikes...

"Gareth Barkley!"

Gareth smiled once he got on stage with his composed posture and his smile; he looked happy despite wearing a plain cream suit which at least it was a different colour besides blue. Maybe it was time to retire my outfit and find something else though but who knows.

"Do you have any friends or allies?"

"One but I'm not ready to discuss that yet has people could be quite angry though," He purred, casting a smile at the audience. Flirty, nothing new.

"Chantelle Lace!"

She had a long dress that reached to the floor that had multiple colours on it. Making it colourful with silver accessories.

"Any thoughts about the Capitol?"

"I like the fashions in fact I am a fashion designer and I have a notebook to prove," she said, handing me a notebook which I gladly took a peek. It was cool.

"Esther Loom!"

Esther came out to reveal a short, tight, blue dress with a silver collar that looked a little cool though but she looked extremely uncomfortable in it.

"So, how's your stay at the Capitol?"

"It's pretty special, I like the food as I never seen so much and everything looks delicious," Esther replied in a sweet manner. "So how are you doing?"

"I'm doing fine, just asking questions and hope they love you," I replied back. I really like this girl.

"Twyla Sheathes!"

Twyla looked good, wearing a long black dress with a sky blue trimmed with sky blue. Her hair put up in a swiss crown braid and threaded with blue ribbons. She looked nice.

"How do you think about going into the Hunger Games?"

"I'm angry at it. It's quite stupid and very idiocy. Blame the Districts for trying to voice our opinions and advocating for ourselves but this is a little pathetic," Twyla hissed. A little feisty now.

"Burton Weaver!"

He wore a red tux with a lighter matching tie. Gosh, where is the creativity. You know where people dress differently? I'm in land of stupidity.

"What's your family like?"

"My parents work a lot to keep food on the table so I don't see them much but I have a younger brother named Reese whose pretty cool and a damn good brother, Crystal," Burton replied.

"Tatter Ruch!"

Tatter wore a white suit even though it really wasn't much and was kinda plaid though but he had an expression on his face that looked like he was thinking about something.

"How do you like the idea of going into the games?" Not really a good question.

"I have the same amount of odds going into the games so I could be the lucky one," Tatter responded, sounding like it was a real simple problem.

"Ivan Tribble!"

Ivan wore a red devil parada which looked creepy on him though.

"Anything that you like about being in the Capitol?"

"I really like the fashion that the Capitolites wear, it's really unique and I wish I had more time in the Capitol to explore," He added.

"Sande Ze!"

Sande wore a grey dress that reached to her knees with beige woven accessories which was a little plain though but probably something someone would totally wear before dying but that's my opinion.

"What's your homelife like?"

"I usually work a lot to take care of my family but it's pretty nice though," Sande replied. She is a hard worker…

"Aluma Blue!"

Aluma wore a black dress that was plain with nothing on it. Meh.

"Have any family members at home?" Of course, she does. I really must be running out questions without repeating some.

"I have a few sisters and a father whom I miss dearly, Crystal," Aluma replied.

"Sunny Ackerman!"

Sunny came on in wearing a wispy greek dress with a sun motif. Sun ray makeup was seen around her eyes and gold lipstick.

"Are you a trustful ally?"

"I consider myself a trustful ally as I won't betray them and stick with them until the very end," Sunny said, "So I'm a good ally to keep around."

"Cyrus Tormius!"

Cyrus smiled and from his stiff posture; he looked scared do to his hands shaking. He wore a tux with it being black and white. A little plain though.

"Are you scared for the games?"

"O-Of Course I-I-I am," Cyrus stammered.

"You should cheer up, it's not that bad," I reassured him.

"Trish Granger!"

Trish wore a grass skirt just like he did with the parade which is totally odd but okay.

"Please don't ask," Trish said quickly.

"Okay."

"Jeff!"

He wore a dentist like outfit which almost had me laughing and he was throwing the floss like a fishing line.

"Don't talk to me."

That continued on until the end of his interview.

"Bronwyn Vespasian!"

Bronwyn came out wearing a white dress with the front part of the dress being shorter reaching to her knees while it was longer in the back, only reaching to her ankles. She wore white fishnet tights and boots.

"So what do you like about being in the Capitol?"

"There's tons of stuff that are new to me and I like it though. I just wish I could spend more time here," Bronwyn said.

"The Capitol's amazing," I said.

"Leslie Avaniana!"

Leslie smiled, and waved a lot, sitting down and crossing her legs. I could see a lot of skin but less clothes. She wore a pink, gemmed dress that was clearly see through and very very short. She was either forced or she wanted to.

"What do you think your greatest skill is?"

"It's obvious, my body of course," was her reply, she blew kisses which made the crowd go wild. The seductive, flirty or ditz it didn't matter.

"Saya Beckett!"

Saya came on with a black, mini shift dress and black pencil heels. Those looked painful though, I could barely bare my high heels which thank god I'm sitting down. I pity those who are still waiting.

"Anyone special at home?"

"No," Saya replied. "I'm a lone wolf but I could do stuff."

"David Hild!"

David looked like a doll but at least he wasn't in girls clothes. He had a kilt on which was kinda cute.

"Stylists have an odd amount of imagination," he told me.

Indeed they do. Sometimes they did cool but they also did terrible outfits.

"Cleve Morrish!"

Cleve wore a tux with different wires, animals and plants. Crazy and extremely weird but the stylist had an imagination even if it wasn't that great.

"Think you can win this?"

"I could as I'm dangerous," He replied. Tough indeed.

"Corvin Bram!"

"What's with that tux?"

"You have a problem with that?"

"No." sheez this guy is acting strong.

"Aria Liliac!"

Aria came on with a short, magenta dress that looked beautiful on her though.

"Why did you volunteer for your sister?"

"I saved by sister because I loved but she's too sweet though but I would die protecting her," Aria responded.

"Kicho Mutsu!"

Kicho wore a long, flowy dress that was deep violet with deep hues also. It was pretty.

"Are you able to kill to get back home?"

"Of course, I have someone waiting for me back home. Don't count me out yet," Kicho said. Fierce and determined, I like her even though I'm not supposed to really play favourites.

"Isabella Mason!"

Isabella looked beautiful. Never wear pink or blue until next games because that's what the dress was. A pink one. It had jewels covering it though with two french braids in her hair and plain scandals on her feet look nice.

"Did you get a first kiss yet?" That's personal.

"Actually I have, my friend named Shane back home kissed me before I left." (Too much confusion on that)

"That's cool."

"Hazel Montana!"

Hazel wore a blue suit which I'm sick of now. Stop with the blue, please. I'm dying here.

"Do you think you have the same amount of odds as the others?"

"I believe I do… 1 to 72 but is simple math really," Hazel replied, probably trying to act smart though but didn't succeed.

"Cameron Axion!"

"What's your opinion about the Capitol?"

Cameron laughed, "I hate it. We need a rebellion and this treatment is stupid including the Hunger Games so fuck you."

Someone kill him tomorrow.

"Moore Livingston!"

Moore wore a funky purple suit with a yellow bowtie which looked silly on him but he looked like he hated it.

"Are you missing anyone?"

Moore cried a little before she said, "My family, I really want to be back at home now."

"You'll see them soon," I reassure her.

"Laiya Ore!"

"What's your favourite thing about the Capitol?"

"The food," Laiya said after thinking about it. "I haven't seen anything good like this before."

Vague, very vague. At least it was an answer.

"Peach Brooks!"

Peach came on, a little confused but she looked brave. She wore a baby pink dress with light blue flats. Odd shoes for a dress though.

"Do you have someone waiting for you at home?"

No answer, I continued to try but it sadly failed. Perhaps she didn't talk or she couldn't hear. A Capitol assistant went towards us and told her in sign language which she gladly answered. Maybe the poor child was deaf.

"She said she misses her family and friends but she isn't someone who is weak though." I nodded. Poor lad, deaf and about to go in the games.

"Rosalinda Sand!"

Rosalinda came on, waving and sat down crossing her legs. She wore a tight, black dress which she probably loathed but she seemed to be hiding it.

"What's your favourite hobby?"

"Being outside if I had to choose," She purred. So much tributes flirting, why can't we get a different strategy but sexy or flirty.

"Flint Sallow!"

Flint wore a black tux with a white bow tie which was a little plain but still decent. Two more tributes right after this and maybe get myself a drink right afterwards. I think I need it, I was becoming extremely parched.

"Do you see yourself as victor?"

"Of course I see my… myself as victor," Flint murmured the end part starting off strong but sounding more tired and afraid as he went along.

"Derrick Undersee!"

He wore a black and red suit which made look totally evil but that just my opinion which probably didn't matter though but still.

"Do you have anyone you prefer in your family?"

He looked at me as if I was crazy and took a defensive tone, "I prefer a lot of people in my family but I don't like to be asked about for personal questions."

"Nathan Dorsett!"

"So, what are your thoughts about the games?"

No answer but he collapsed onto the floor and started choking and breathing irregular. Officials ripped open his shirt to reveal something black all across his torso, stomach and now on his neck. Yikes, that's something odd.

They took him away and I screamed out, "Well wasn't that something. This is the seventy-two tributes for the Fourth Quarter Quell!"

I applaud anyone who read the whole thing, since it was 72 tributes I tried to keep it short but nothing good happen besides Kolt so yeah. I spent all damn day working on this and I'm finishing up the story this week. Updates will be a bit crazy.
