It is a grand spectacle  today on the stage of the Capitol's own Block I stage. Lights are  flashing left and right, almost blinding to some of the tributes, though  the Capitol citizens are used to it. So are some of the Careers, but  they still feel slightly dizzy and woozy.

The interviewer for  three years now, Helvetica sits ahead of you, her upright posture  completely unchanged by the plush couch she is sitting in. Her fire  truck-coloured curls are completely untamed, giving the young woman the  appearance of being maybe twenty-five years old.

Her eyes turns to you,  and she smiles, waving each tribute on the stage on their turn, one by  one. "Hurry up, will you? I'm not going to kill you!"

Pause.

"That will come tommorow."

--------------------

THE TASK:

-This is a basic interview tasks; answer the questions asked by Helvetica. The questions are:

1. "Representing your district is a great honour, isn't it? How did it feel when you heard your name announced?"

2. "Personally, I believe you always need a game plan to succeed anything. What is your strategy?"

3. "Every Games has  tributes who you know won't live past the bloodbath. Do you believe you  are one of those tributes? How far do you hope to make it? What makes  you think you can go all the way?"

4. "Now, we all have  someone back home cheering us on, or at least something we would do  anything to come back to. A motivation, of sorts. Personally, mine would  be Cap Center Fries - the best fries in all of the Capitol, you simply  must try them! What is yours?"

5. "You can't go  anywhere if you don't do some analysis of the situation you're in and  your competitors. Who do you believe are the biggest and smallest  threats?"

6. "Darling, your outfit is simply beautiful! How did your stylist possibly come up with it?"

7. "I do believe you've  had your fair share of attention tonight, don't you? Of course you do.  What do you think of my coat? It's real fox fur, you know; pain to come  by!"

-You must answer five of these seven questions, in any order you would like, as well as add one question of your own.

-Entries will be scored  out of six by both Gamemakers for a total score of twelve. There will  also be bonus points - worth three points each - for the best entry, the  best characterization, and the most memorable quote. These do not NEED  to be funny, but they tend to be.

-One bonus point will be  given to the first entry. One will be taken off every entry handed in  an hour before the deadline, and an additional point will be lost for  the last entry.

-Hand in on Tuesday,  July 23rd, via Private Message. If for some reason that isn't working,  email it to herecomesghostie@gmail.com

-Word Limit: 800 words.

-The tributes with an immediate extra point on their interview are:

1. Alea Welsh

2. Ripley Stark

3. Tobias Kraynor

4. Stu Misterpot

5. Leaf Wintergreen

6. Enver Code

(Since there was a tie in scores, there are a few more tributes with an extra point)
