Karina: Let's welcome the boy with the golden eyes, Genesis Roux of District Eight, to the stage one last time before he's off to the arena!

Genesis: Hello, Karina. And this won't be the last time I'm on stage, not by a long shot. Beautiful people like me just don't die, after all.

Karina: Well we sure hope not! It would be a travesty to see someone as attractive as yourself no longer with us, but that's the nature of the games, I suppose!

Genesis: I know. I literally just said that. I really don't need you reaffirming my beauty, sweetie. I have a mirror. That's really all I need.

Karina: Wow, you're a bit testy tonight! Does something have you down in the dumps, Mr. Roux?

Genesis: I mean, it's hard to actually feel upset about anything when you look like I do, but I find myself thinking about the punishment I just received from the Gamemakers for my private training session, you see.

Karina: Ah, a punishment! So we have a bad boy in our midst? Please, do elaborate.

Genesis: I wouldn't exactly say that I'm a bad boy, more of a boy who is simply better than everybody else here. Is it so wrong for me to show that I'm aware of this? Anyways, the Gamemakers made a tragic attempt at dragging me, but failed of course, because I naturally outsmarted them. Because here I am, as beautiful as I've always been.

Karina: *feels slightly anxious at the insulting of the Gamemakers* So, this all happened because of private training? Tell us, what are your thoughts on your score?

Genesis: My main thoughts are why didn't I receive a twelve? Like I honestly cannot even fathom why I was awarded a measly six, considering what I did in private training. Maybe the Gamemakers were embarrassed in their trash security system? I really don't know. Oh well, I'll let them sort out their little problems.

Karina: What could have been so bad that you deserved a punishment?

Genesis: Clearly, my level of perfection and intelligence was just too much for them to accept. Instead, they had to try to tear me down, lower my confidence. It's sad that they thought altering my eye color would work. But if I've learned anything here in the Capitol, it's that nothing is permanent. Especially not the highly coveted position of Gamemaker. *smirks*

Karina: You may want to calm down a bit if you actually want to make it to the arena! The Gamema-

Genesis: Yeah, no hun. That won't be happening. I'm tired of acting civil. That's just not cute or fun, or my personality at all.

Karina: Well, okay then, Mr. Roux! *rolls eyes in annoyance* As you know, sponsor Valour Delarosa is very interested in you! Do you have anything to say to her in hopes that she'll choose you to sponsor?

Genesis: At this point, I'm 8000000% sure that Valour will not be sponsoring me. We just don't fit together well, at all. She values beauty, and I'm beautiful, but she also values kindness, and that's just not a trait I possess, thankfully. So she can look elsewhere, because I don't need to be receiving gifts from someone who I'm nothing like. If you had seen my private training session, then you know I can handle myself without being showered by pity gifts. You'll see in the bloodbath.

Karina: Well, that's a mighty promise!

Genesis: I know. I'm the one who promised it. Just because I'm gorgeous does't mean I forget everything ten seconds after I say it. Everything about me is beautiful, including my mind.

Karina: It seems that we're out of time! Mr. Roux, if you'd kindly exit stage left! I think it's safe to say that Panem learned who you really are tonight!
