Caesar Flickerman

Caesar: It's time to meet the girl everyone is talking about! Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the stage, Sloane Oleksei! *crowd screams*

Sloane: *walks out onto stage, head held high and shoulders back. Waves to the crowd before taking her seat* Why hello Caesar, I must admit you are rather dashing up close.

Caesar: Oh, why thank you Sloane! You look rather dazzling yourself! *crowd cheers* Let's cut right to the chase, you scored higher than anyone else. I think everyone is dying to know, how did you do it?

Sloane: Now if I did that I'd be giving away all of my secrets. *crowd laughs* I did something no one else could do. *crowd whispers* I showed everyone that you don't have to be a brainless brawny serial killer to win this thing. Let's just say, I know how to adapt.

Caesar: Well I know I can't wait to see what you do in the arena! Speaking of the arena, who will we be seeing you with? Have you made any friends in the Capitol?

Sloane: Speaking from experience, you and I both know that friendships can be dangerous in the arena of all places. I haven't got any concrete plans for an alliance but I think from my score even if I manage to go it alone I'll be a force the big bad Careers will be crying into their pillow over. *crowd laughs*

Caesar: I couldn't agree more! I'm sure any tribute who crossed you is shaking in their boots right about now! *crowd laughs* What about back home? Who is rooting for you?

Sloane: I would hope so. I heard a certain blonde haired Career had labelled me a Career killer. I'd hate to prove him wrong. *winks at crowd* As for those rooting for me back home, my family are eagerly awaiting my return and just between us... *leans in to spill this secret* there's a diamond ring with my name on it waiting for me.

Caesar: *crowd oos* Oh! How absolutely delicious! So after you become Victor, will we be watching your wedding?

Sloane: Watching? I'm sure some of you will be invited! After all, if I secure the support of Mr Hannan he will be my most honoured guest. Otherwise, I'm sure the Capitol will be eagerly watching me trip down the aisle.

Caesar: *crowd cheers* Well I certainly hope I'm on the guestlist! I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding! Is there anything you would like to say to your husband-to-be? Or your family?

Sloane: Of course you would be! *looks straight at the camera* I promise I'll be home soon. I love you all so much, I'll use everything you taught me to make sure that I'm home really soon. Don't worry about me, an Oleksei never fails.

Caesar: It's time to meet the girl everyone is talking about! Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the stage, Sloane Oleksei! *crowd screams*

Caesar: Onto the next tribute, here comes quite a handsome one, if I do say so myself. Let's here it for Arland Keaton from District Five! *crowd cheers*

Arland: *waves to the crowd and extends a hand before sitting down next to Caesar* It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Flickerman, sir.

Caesar: Sir? Why so formal, son? You can call me Caesar! After all, we're friends, right? Are you enjoying your time here in the Capitol?

Arland: Of course, Caesar. It's very...grand. A lot nicer than what we have back in Five. I think one of these showers costs more than my entire house! *crowd laughs*

Caesar: *laughs* They probably do! *crowd laughs* So Arland, you must be missing home then, despite being here. Who've you left behind? Anyone at home rooting for you to return?

Arland: Not many people, really. My family, friends. I mean, the Capitol's great, of course, but it's not the same without them. They'd like it here, I think, especially my sisters. They'd love your hair. *laughs*

Caesar: *shows off hair* Well my son, if you win, you bring those sweet little girls here and we'll have a night on the town! *crowd cheers* Is there anything you'd like to say to them right now?

Arland: Of course! Sounds like fun. *pauses* Mom, Autumn, Waverly, Ariadne, Aerin, Aston, and Adrian...I love you all. Even if I don't come back, we'll meet again someday, and I'll still love you just the same. *crowd awws*

Caesar: *smiles widely* So Arland, I am sure you have some sort of strategy in place. Any alliances? Anything you can share with us?

Arland: I've met friends in training, and I've gotten asked about alliances, but I can't confirm anything yet. I'm going to speak to some people tomorrow at the ball, and we'll just have to see how it all plays out.

Caesar: That sounds like a fantastic plan, Arland. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we'll be watching to see how things end up for you. Speaking of, maybe you'll end up with a sponsor. Have anything to say to sway their opinion?

Arland: Oh, yes. Miss Star, I promise you every penny you spend on me will be worth it, and I'm going to try my best to make you and my District proud, whether you choose to sponsor me or not. It's an honor to even be considered.

Caesar: That's such a nice attitude to have, young man. I'm sure that'll help her make that decision! Well, Arland, unfortunately we're nearly out of time. One last question. Say you win? What will you do next?

Arland: If I win? I'm going to go back home and enjoy my new home with my family and friends. I don't think I'll be doing anything grand; just staying back in Five until I have to come mentor. I think Capitol life is a bit too extravagant for me. *laughs*

Caesar: Alright folks are you ready? Excited? Let's get this show on the road. First up is the obviously feisty and extremely sexy Mika Valentino from District One! Give her a hand! *crowd cheers*

Mika: *struts out confidently, waving to the crowd* Caesar! Be still my heart, it’s such an honor to finally sit out here with you! *rolls her eyes without him seeing and takes a seat*

Caesar: *blushes* My my you devilish woman, better watch out! You might turn me straight! *laughs* Now, this isn't your first time in the Capitol, is it dear?

Mika: Devil woman! *giggles and smacks Caesar playfully* You have no idea! And no, no it's not. It's been years, but I used to visit quite a bit when I was younger.

Caesar: You're the spitting image of your mother, darling! I imagine you had quite the magnificent childhood. Tell me, has she wished you luck or given you any advice?

Mika: *sighs and crosses legs* I've not seen or heard from my mother in like 7 years so... no. But thank you, I suppose. I don't need any advice from her nor do I need her well wishes for me.

Caesar: *laughs nervously* Oops, seems I hit a tender spot. Sorry about that. We'll move right along, alright? Let's talk about that reaping... you left quite an impression on everyone. Any thoughts now that it's behind you?

Mika: I have nothing much to say on the matter. I'm here and there's not changing the past. I just wanna look towards the future and trying to get back home.

Caesar: Fair enough. Speaking of trying to get home, you seem to have a lot going for you so far. A healthy 9 in Private Training and the attentions of a sponsor. Should we expect to see you team up with your District Partner, Elias?

Mika: *shakes head adamantly* No, I will not. *sighs* A lot of people here have been assuming that I'm a Career, but I'm not. Elias just... don't get along. I'm unsure of my plans as of yet, Caesar, but I do hope that I'll be able to earn the support of Saxon. After all, he's good at predicting the winners.

Caesar: He certainly is! *laughs* Now, it's no secret that you spent a little time in juvenile detention... at least now it isn't. *chuckles softly* Do you think that experience will come in handy in the arena at all?

Mika: I guess a girl can't have any secrets anymore, can she? *laughs a little, tyring to bring back a positive mood* I'm not ashamed of that, in fact, it's something that helped make me into the girl I am today. The JDC has prepared me for many things, and yes, even the arena. But I guess you'll just have to wait and see how. *winks at audience*

Caesar: Well I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we just can't wait to see what tricks you have up your sleeve! *crowd cheers* The sad truth is, however, that we're running out of time. Anything last words, perhaps to leave a lasting impression? Or to your family or friends back home?

Mika: *smiles and faces the camera* I do. First, daddy, I love you and I'll do whatever it takes to come home. Whatever it takes. To my girls at the JDC, stay strong and keep your eyes on me. And that goes for the rest of you! I guarantee I will not disappoint! *crowd cheers as she flashes a smile*

Caesar: Alright folks are you ready? Excited? Let's get this show on the road. First up is the obviously feisty and extremely sexy Mika Valentino from District One! Give her a hand! *crowd cheers*

Mika: *struts out confidently, waving to the crowd* Caesar! Be still my heart, it’s such an honor to finally sit out here with you! *rolls her eyes without him seeing and takes a seat*

Caesar: Let's welcome our next tribute to the stage, the spunky Lizzie Nicholson! *crowd cheers*

Lizzie: *walks on stage confidently, glancing at the crowd with a little smirk before taking a seat* Well hello Caesar. Nice hair.

Caesar: *blushes* Oh, why thank you Liz! May I call you Liz? Anyway, how have you enjoyed your stay in the Capitol so far? Have you met anyone interesting?

Lizzie: Of course you may. Being in the Capitol as been... strange I guess. A new experience. Unfortunately, no one really caught my eye though. That's a shame.

Caesar: That certainly is a shame, but I hear you will be joining your District Partner in the arena, is there anything going on between you two? *wiggles eyebrows*

Lizzie: Yes, yes I will. *leans forward with an over dramatic frown and takes Caesar's hand* Oh Caesar... We were going to be so happy, you know? Have so many kids, a perfect little family. Maybe a dog too. This is a tragedy!

Caesar: Oh, my dear, that is so sad. Well um, *clears throat* perhaps you can win, and carry on his memory? Do something spectacular as a Victor to celebrate his life?

Lizzie: *chuckles and looks at the crowd* That's the plan. But I don't know what I would do yet. Maybe there should be a suggestions box so that people could give me their input, while I'm the Arena.

Caesar: We will definitely give that strong consideration, Liz. I am a powerful man, I can make that happen for you. *laughs* Let's move on and talk about that Private Training score. It's been awhile since I've seen someone get a 4. Reflect on that.

Lizzie: That would be fantastic, I'm sure everyone in the Capitol as such amazing ideas! Oh, that... I just like to stand out. There's nothing to reflect on.

Caesar: Well stand out you did! By that answer, I assume that was your plan? To underperform in efforts to, as you said, stand out? Do you think that effects your chances of winning over a sponsor?

Lizzie: Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I guess you'll never know. I don't know if it does actually. A number shouldn't mean anything, but that's just my point of view.

Caesar: Well Liz, you certainly are quite a mystery! I like that in a girl, you know. *chuckles* Well, we're almost out of time, any last words before we move on?

Lizzie: Aw, you certainly know how to make a girl feel special. I guess I should be wishing my opponents good luck? *stands up and smiles at the crowd* I hope everyone enjoys seeing us kill each other.

Caesar: Onto the next tribute, here comes quite a handsome one, if I do say so myself. Let's here it for Arland Keaton from District Five! *crowd cheers*
