Of course, he never showed this around the cameras. Not in the days leading up to the interviews. And now the big day had arrived and it was once again time to get the viewers going wild about the tributes. This year, Caesar had gone lime green, his hair and lips a neon shade of it. His suit was a complimentary black, fitting him perfectly as it had for ages. As he stepped onto the stage, he flashed a brilliant smile at the crowd, waving as he went. Once reaching his cue, he gave a salute to the camera and chuckled into the microphone. "Well, good evening Panem," Caesar said happily, looking out at the crowd, "it looks like we are in for a treat tonight! Twenty-four lovely young boys and girls were to let us know a little bit more about them, and quite the lot we have this year! We have the teeny," he placed a hand at what he expected to be Tabby Herringbone's height, "the brutishly large," he moved the hand to be at the height of one of the taller contenders. We walked across the front of the stage as he continued, "And this year we are certainly blessed with some of the most attractive tributes to date, am I right, folks?" He waited a few moments through the reaction to continue. "We also have more of the older kids this year. Only two under the age of fourteen, can you believe? Alright, you've had enough of my yapping, haven't you?" he chuckled, retaking his mark center-stage. "Then let's bring forward our first tribute, shall we? Ladies first, as they say! Ruby Opaline, please step forward!" ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

[atrb=width,240] Standing in line with her fellow tributes, one couldn't deny the fact that the girl from District 1 was stunning standing against the other tributes. Not that they weren't all a good looking bunch, they were without a doubt, but ruby with her dark hair and blue eyes would like to think that she made a statement, no? Standing up straight (like shimmer had instructed her to) the bright fuschia of her dress contrasted well with her porcelain skin, and she was adorned in golden accesories hanging from her body. With her small smile on her face, she strode over to Ceasar after he called her name, extending her hand for him to kiss on the back of her palm, not shake. "Hello Ceasar", she said with her smile, giving him a quick and sneaky wink. The crowd, she expected, would love that- but Ruby wasn't forcing an act, she was being herself, as opposed to the miscellaneous strategies she had. Her top one- she was forced as a playing piece into a game. The only way to win? Play the game. That would be exactly what she would do. Stroking a lock of hair behind her shoulder, she moved closer to Ceasar, the dress swaying with her movements as if moved by a subtle and soft breeze. "It is good to be in your company- good company", she smiled, turning to the side slightly. "such a rare things these days, isn't it? Bad company isn't unfortunate, but finding...diamonds in the rough certainly is exciting", she moved closer, "Wouldn't you say so, Ceasar?" Her tone held the same level of mystery it always did, and the slightly flirtatious edge that she had was ever-prominent.	[atrb=width,140] words , --- words outfit , Here. notes , Nope, got none.

This hadn't been done in a few years. No, the last one to do something like this was Ruby's mentor, Shimmer. She'd been playing the hopelessly romantic girl with edge. Silly, if you asked Caesar, but he'd played to it, like he played to every tribute. "Hello, Ruby," he replied to her, letting go of her hand and giving the audience a gleefully shocked look after her wink. He started to try and analyze her strategy as she spoke again, moving closer to him as she did. Her compliment brought another grin to his lips. "Why thank you, Ruby. I'm glad to be in your company as well. Though I wouldn't say it's rare. It's always exciting to be among such charming young people." he chuckled. "Though I would say some of these diamonds are rough around the edges," Caesar went on. He glanced at the other tributes, then back at her, "How many rough diamonds have you met in the Capitol, Ruby?" ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

[atrb=width,240] She nodded back to Ceasar's comment, staying slightly still, only moving when she needed to and when she talked- one thing was certain, Ruby was one of the few young adolescents that existed that had mastered the art of speaking to people, face-to-face, in one homogenous and smooth conversation. Withdrawing her hand fron Ceasar's, she placed it gingerly at her side, not wanting to distract. Noticing his gesture to the tributes, she smiled an open-mouthed smile, "enough to be counted for", she whispered into the microphone, pleased with hearing her voice echo around the interview area. "A diamond in the rough is not bad", she said, her smile still dancing playully on her lips as she lowered her tone, "it's a diamond, just the same." She kept her eyes intensely focused on Ceasar, occasionally flicking five-second long glances at hte Audience. Enough to hold their attention with her eyes, and long enough to not give off the look of nervousness. If there was one thing that Ruby was not, it was nervous. She had been trained for these moments in District 1, she was not scared.	[atrb=width,140] words , --- words outfit , Here. notes , Nope, got none.

"And we love our diamonds, don't we?" he asked the audience at large, listening to the applause that followed. He couldn't help but note her skill with conversation. Either she was natural ability, or she'd been taught very well on how to carry herself and conduct herself. "Now, Ruby. You've left quite the buzz among here among my friends in the Capitol. And I must ask you, is there anything you'd like to tell the men and women who have so quickly become your fans?" It was hard to get things out of the mysterious types. They were always so busy trying to be vague, trying to keep people guessing. It was hard to get to know a person when they wouldn't give you direct answers. But the crowd loved them. They were intriguing, they were thrilling. They didn't have to try to coax them out. It was a challenge. And when Caesar was younger, he'd welcomed a challenge. But know there were so many different types every year, so many different varieties on each personalities, that he sometimes hated trying to banter with them. But he'd never let it show. Heaven knew how many times he had to deal with the girls done up to be "sexy" or "alluring". They were so easily picked off in the arena sometimes. It was always the pretty-boys you had to watch out for, he'd found upon watching the Games. After Ruby had time to respond, Caesar asked his final question, "And finally, Ruby, before we run out of time, if there is anything you want the folks here and back home to remember about you, what would it be?" ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

[atrb=width,240] The girl thought quietly, taking a glance out and facing the crowd in her full stature. Smiling with a slight hint of elusiveness, she spoke to her 'fans', aka, the people who were hoping for her to kill, maim, or injure, or to be killed, maimed, or injured herself. "There will be more of me, you need not worry about it ending anytime soon. Although, you might have to compete with my fellow competitors of you want some sort of affection", she spoke clearly and precisely, not stuttering or pausing. The golden accessories she wore picked up little flashes of light, and helped bring out the blue of her eyes (she had to remember to give her stylist a thank you afterwards for that), and it was true- the prettier tributes always pulled in more dough. Unfortunately, the people like beauty, and as it stood, there was no fun in rooting for the ugly duckling. The last question. The very last thing the Capitol would hear of her in person, face to face with them, up close and personal. What would she want them to remember about her, "I think that all one would need to remember is my name- the rest will follow with it. But if you will remember one thing, let it be this. Bodies decay. Souls move on." She smiled and winked to the crowd, "though, if you could remember my beauty, I think that will be just enough for you."

Caesar laughed in response to Ruby's first answer. He was still wearing that positive smile. This girl was lucky she had a decent stylist and had natural beauty, if she hadn't been so blessed, the responses he had been getting may not have done her any good. Maybe even sunk her as far as sponsors were concerned if her personality was off. But because of how she'd played it off, Caesar knew for a fact how quickly someone would sign up to be her sponsor. Her last answer received a sly smile from the man. "Oh, yes. What wise words to leave us with, Ruby. I'm sure we in the Capitol will remember them…and your looks." he couldn't leave those out. His acquaintances would despise him if he forgot to point it out. They always did when he didn't compliment the "pretties". Shortly after Caesar spoke, the signal for the end of Ruby's interview sounded. He gave Ruby a small pat on the shoulder before politely shooing her back to her seat. "What a gem, folks. We've certainly had a great start to our interviews this year! Now, up next is our boy from District One. Would you all mind helping me welcome Atticus Kai?" ♥ ♥ ♥ template by hay shay ! @ caution 2.0 LYRICS BY PANIC AT THE DISCO

[atticus savoy kai]

Atticus was one of the taller tributes, so with his height and his hair (which he had staunchly refused to let the stylists touch), he certainly stood out. Atticus rose from his seat to the polite smattering of applause and passed Ruby without comment. He walked straight, with his shoulders back and his head up. His eyes were slightly narrowed, but not in a frightening type of way. He was merely being himself; distrustful of all things Capitol.

He nodded to Caesar once and then sat in the interview chair. "Hello." He said. It wasn't loud but it wasn't quiet either. His voice carried throughout the studio. It was flat, devoid of emotion, but it drew you in. "How are you today?" Atticus asked just because he knew Shimmer would want him to be the capitol's darling. Well, he would be the Capitol's something alright.

Atticus flipped his hair over his back and played with a feather that the stylists had been allowed to put in it. His whole demeanor cried boredom. He just wanted to start with the games and finish this quickly. He hated all the parading around.
