Caeasr: Welcome, welcome! Tell me, Ethan. How did you like staying in the desert?

Ethan: Oh fantasic! I got some amazing tan, can you tell? But yeah but lonely out there.

Casear: Mm, I'm sure it was. Difficult finding water, no?

Ethan: Not if you spent 3 hours before you went into the arena learning about food and water sources *smirks*

Caesar: Well, we had plenty of that here! Now, how hot do you think it was there?

Ethan: Wow it had to be 40C. gotta' be

Caesar: I'll let you in on a little secret-- it got to the triple digets while you were out there. We're all very glad that you survived the heat!

Ethan: Holy Cow! No wonder I got a tan!

Caesar: Could you tell us what you had to do? I'm sure we're all dying to know.

Ethan: I just staked it out, stayed near my water source ate my roots. God Caesar, if I have to eat another root I will kill myself!

Caesar: And being without the other Victors.. How was that?

Ethan: It was lonely, I think I'll have to make some sort of ally for the next task. Just finding the right one isn't it.

Caesar: Oh? The heat didn't get to you? Make you want to.... Kill any of the other Victors?

Ethan: Not really, made me want to sleep to be quite honest *laughs*

Caesar: I see, I see. Well, Ethan, thank you for your time! Ladies and gentlemen, Ethan!

Peeta's "Talent"

Peeta's palms were sweaty as he ran them over his pants. He knew why he was nervous, only one person had seen his paintings and that was Katniss. She had hated them. Ever since then, Peeta had kept them to himself but now, he was about to reveal them to the Capitol and all of Panem.

"So Peeta, tell me, what do you have to show us?"

Caesar's voice made him jump, he had forgotten they were live, too busy trapped in his own thoughts. He forced a smile on his face, trying to stay in the good books, trying not to reveal what was coming.

"These are just a small collection of the paintings I've been doing since we arrived in the Capitol." he told Caesar.

The time had come, he started slowly, revealing the least dangerous of paintings.

First,

His father, a big grin on his face and handing out sugar cookies to Seam children.

Next,

Haymitch with the geese and a bottle of whiskey in hand.

Next,

Effie without her wig and make up, showing how truly beautiful she was.

Next,

Artie, with his legs hanging over the edge of a couch and a mouth full of cake balls.

Next,

Lavinia reading a book, with Pullox's lying down, his head in her lap.

Next,

Laurel, looking up at Titus, her face shining with love.

Next,

Buddy and Viola curled around each other.

Next,

Johanna, just smiling.

Next,

Jameson, carving out in the woods.

Next,

Gale and Peeta, heads close together, plotting.

Next,

Katniss and Prim, in the forest, a pure look of happiness on Katniss's face.

Next,

The fire in the Victors village.

Next,

A self portait, Exactly half of Peeta's body. Showing the red, angry scar where his leg used to be.

Next,

Rue, on the roof of the training centre, holding Cato's knife, smiling down at everyone.

Next,

The girl Peeta murdered.

Next,

The blood on Peeta's hands.

"Time to go to commercial."

Caesar Flickerman: Welcome, thank you. Thank you. Now, I’m sure you have all been waiting /such/ a long time for the Capitol’s announcement. Don’t worry, I have too. But! Tonight we have a special treat for your patience. So, please, help me in welcoming our lovely guest, Miss Amelia Pierce!

Audience: *applauds and cheers*

Caesar Flickerman: You never cease to amaze the crowd and take their breaths away with your beauty, do you Amelia?

Amelia Pierce: *laughs and shake her head* Oh, stop, Caesar. The citizens are graced with the beauty of your family all the time. I'm sure they're just admiring the way I always find your hair to be so perfect.

Audience: *cheers again*

Caesar Flickerman: She's a keeper, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get started, shall we? Tell us. How has your stay been in the Capitol so far? Have you gotten into any trouble with any of the other victors?

Amelia Pierce: It's been pleasant, thanks for asking. Ahaha, I have gotten in trouble with the others for going missing too much. I've been hiding behind bookshelves and spending time with Tyler.

Caesar Flickerman: /Really?/ I don’t think any of us saw that coming. Hmm, have you gotten along with a lot of the victors? I’ve been hearing it’s been like a big family in the time you’ve all spent here. Am I right?

Amelia Pierce: I did before we moved back into the Capitol. I barely talk to the others anymore because they all seem so busy, you know? And with the information we just received, everyone is probably writing letters back to their loved ones and getting as much sleep as they can. It's funny how things change so quickly......

Caesar Flickerman: Aw, Amelia. I'm sorry to hear that. Don't worry about a thing, okay, dear? When this is all over, I'm sure things will go back to normal and you'll be a social butterfly again.

Amelia Pierce: *nods and forces a smile onto her face*

Caesar Flickerman: So in this family of yours is there any special someone that tickles your fancy? Rub you the right way? Catches your eye?

Amelia Pierce: *laughs* Nahhhhhhhhh. I can't afford to think about things like that. If anything-- I'd be depressed about "fancying" anyone if I barely talk to them, you know?

Caesar Flickerman: We've been through this so many times and you choose tonight to be shy. We’re all friends here, right?

Amelia Pierce: *nods and laughs again* It's nothing personal, Caesar, I'm just being honest. I don't look at anyone that way.

Caesar Flickerman: Alright, alright. We can talk about it in private. *winks* On another note, I heard all the victors were required health checks. You came up clean, of course- right? No problems or difficulties? Any tumors or growths we should know about?

Amelia Pierce: *shifts around in her seat and fixes her dress* Actually, I was told that I was suffering from Caesar Flickerman withdrawals and that's why they rushed these interviews!

Audience: *laughs and cheers again*

Caesar Flickerman: *laughs with the audience* Well, good thing they did, right? I wouldn’t want to be the reason why you couldn't complete your tasks. Or suffer tonight either! I hear you have a special performance tonight, correct? What exactly will you be doing?

Amelia Pierce: *whispers her talent into his ear* Sh, it's a secret though. The audience will just have to wait patiently!

Caesar Flickerman: Sounds fantastic! Well, we won’t keep you waiting any longer. There’s a side stage right over here, and you can begin whenever you’re ready. It was good seeing you, my dear.

Amelia Pierce: Thank you, Caesar! It's always a pleasure chatting with you.

Interview

Cesar Flickerman: Welcome, thank you. Thank you. Now, I’m sure you have all been waiting /such/ a long time for the Capitol’s announcement. Don’t worry, I have too. But! Tonight we have a special treat for your patience. So, please, help me in welcoming our first guest Ethan Michaels.

Cesar Flickerman: Ethan, tell us. How has your stay been in the Capitol so far? Have you gotten into any trouble with any of the other victors?

Ethan Michaels: *shrugging, looking to the audience pulling a bemused face* Not at all, just been chilling with my puppy, talking to people, chilling. It’s all sixteen year old’s really do nowadays. *smirking* :

Cesar Flickerman: Really? I don’t think any of us saw that coming. With that aside, have you gotten along with a lot of the victors? I’ve been hearing it’s been like a big family in the time you’ve all spent here. Am I right?

Ethan Michaels: Exactly right, I’ve got on with everyone and we’ve all been through the same things. You know, it’s hard to talk to other people about your experiences because they never really know what you’re talking about, so it’s nice to be with people who know exactly what you are talking about. Everyone is just waiting to get back home really *using his hands to animate his speech*:

Cesar Flickerman: That’s touching really. I’m sure we’re all happy to hear that! So in this family of your’s is there any special someone that tickles your fancy? Rub you the right way? Catches your eye?

Ethan Michaels: I’m sixteen. Of course, I do pretty much get my eye caught 24/7. Pretty much no one is safe from me. Even you, man. *laughing pointing at Cesar*:

Cesar Flickerman: Aww, come on now don’t be so shy. We’re all friends here, right?

Ethan Michaels: No really, of course there is someone but I’m trying to play it cool, so doing a Mellark would blow my coolness a bit don’t you think? *blushing but grinning stupidly* :

Cesar Flickerman: Alright, alright. We can talk about it in private. On another note, I heard all the victors were required health checks. You came up clean, of course- right? No problems or difficulties? Any tumors or growths we should know about?

Ethan Michaels: Nope, I work out all the time did you know that, I mean look at me *flexes arm* plus I eat really healthy so I’m all good. Plus I don’t think I’ve ever been sick, ever so it would be like, stupidly bad luck. *smirking again at his small joke*:

Cesar Flickerman: Good! Good! We’re glad to hear it! Wouldn’t want anything to stump you during your tasks. Or tonight either! I hear you have a special performance tonight, correct? What exactly will you be doing?

Ethan Michaels: When I started this whole journey I thought my strongest talent was wiring and programming, since I come from District 3 I’m pretty good at that, not that I could really show that off. But when I started training I realized I have this amazing talent at throwing things. Pretty much anything, any weight, distance, target. I can get it pretty much first time. And I can definitely show that off so that’s what I’m going to show everyone.:

Cesar Flickerman: Sounds fantastic! Well, we won’t keep you waiting any longer. There’s a side stage right over here, and you can begin whenever you’re ready.

Ethan Michaels: See you later, man. *flashes his signature smile to the crowd before standing up and striding over to the stage*

Tournament interview.

Cesar Flickerman: Welcome, thank you. Thank you. Now, I’m sure you have all been waiting /such/ a long time for the Capitol’s announcement. Don’t worry, I have too. But! Tonight we have a special treat for your patience. So, please, help me in welcoming our first guest ,Riley Hunt!

Cesar Flickerman: Riley, tell us. How has your stay been in the Capitol so far? Have you gotten into any trouble with any of the other victors?

Riley Hunt: It’s lovely to see you again, Cesar. Looking as dapper as ever. But my stay, it’s been colorful? Yeah, it’s very different from back in district 5, but my stay has been okay. As for the fights, I’ve been very much to myself since I arrived here. I’m not the most ‘in your face’ person to begin with, but not that long ago my sister back home fell sick and I’ve been quite guarded about that.

Cesar Flickerman: /Really?/ I don’t think any of us saw that coming. With that aside, have you gotten along with a lot of the victors? I’ve been hearing it’s been like a big family in the time you’ve all spent here. Am I right?

Riley Hunt: I think I’ve gotten along with most of the victors I’ve spoken to, yeah. I think that since we’re all in the same boat we just all cling together. We’re very much like a family, you’re right. It’s nice for a change.

Cesar Flickerman: That’s touching really. I’m sure we’re all happy to hear that! So in this family of your’s is there any special someone that tickles your fancy? Rub you the right way? Catches your eye?

Riley Hunt: Oh wow, hah. No no, no one like that. No one ‘tickles my fancy’.

Cesar Flickerman: Aww, come on now don’t be so shy. We’re all friends here, right?

Riley Hunt: Right, but there really isn’t anyone. I promise.

Cesar Flickerman: Alright, alright. We can talk about it in private. On another note, I heard all the victors were required health checks. You came up clean, of course- right? No problems or difficulties? Any tumors or growths we should know about?

Riley Hunt: Nope, no problems at all. Everything came up completely clean.

Cesar Flickerman: Good! Good! We’re glad to hear it! Wouldn’t want anything to stump you during your tasks. Or tonight either! I hear you have a special performance tonight, correct? What exactly will you be doing?

Riley Hunt: I’ll be singing! Which I haven’t done in front of an audience this big.. so I’m a little nervous. But I’m really excited at the same time. It being a song I wrote myself is just adding to the excitement.

Cesar Flickerman: Sounds fantastic! Well, we won’t keep you waiting any longer. There’s a side stage right over here, and you can begin whenever you’re ready.

Peeta: Caesar, it's so good to see you again. How's Chelsea?
