* Music plays, Avox behind the camera signs for 3... 2... 1.... Snap!*
Good evening everyone, and welcome back from our break! (waits for crowd that has gathered near the stage to quiet) I am coming to you live from the Capitol, and am here to introduce each and every tribute to you this evening.
At this time I would like to call District 5's tribute to the stage.... Alledra Riddle! (waits for them to come in) Good evening Alledra, and I am sincerely sorry for under which circumstances on which we are meeting. However cheer up son, you may bot bee a career, but you certianly are a beautiful young woman. Who knows you may beat the odds! Please sit down, just try not to disturb your costume too much, it could sell for allot of money later on if you win.... (waits for Tribute to sit down)
Now I have a distinct set of questions to ask you. These are be generic questions I will ask each tribute, just so that everyone gets to know you. Who knows some of this information could get you some extra nice things in the Arena. However be warned, I may throw in a random question just for you.
We all know that all the tributes will be fighting for their lives, but there is almost always a driving force behind the winners. Tell me Alledra, do you have anything, or anyone, really special you will be fighting to come home to?

Alledra knew that she would've stayed put, in that exact spot, waiting in the wings of the stage. When someone finally gave her a little push, Alledra gasped in surprise. Her muscles sighed in relief when she started moving, it was only then that she realized she'd been standing so tensely, completely nervous for the interview. Like the entire population of Panem, Alledra had watched the interviews thousands of times before, but nothing could prepare her for her own. Hell, she was still in shock that her name had been pulled during the Reaping. Blinking furiously at the bright lights, Alledra did her best to present a happy, calm and collected smile. If not for herself, then for her family and friends back home.
Easing herself into the chair, she was able to get a good look at Sweeny. She gently smoothed out the folds in her dress, folding her hands in her lap to keep them from shaking. Her stylist had given her a sort of wildlife, nature look. The dress, which was strapless, was a deep, forest green in color with sparkling, silver leaves crawling up the fabric. On her feet were a pair of sandy colored high heeled shoes which had been killing her feet while she'd been standing off stage. Her hair had been curled into ringlets, which her stylists had placed gently on her shoulders. They'd gone the extra length to place green and silver clips in the shapes of flowers among her curls. Silver earrings in the form of rabbits hung from her ears, matching a silver chain with a single charm around her neck.
She tried to keep her thoughts focused, trying to force herself to appear as if she were actually having a good time. She could feel her knees trembling under her dress and fought to keep them under control. Turning her attention to Sweeny, she took a deep breath and focused on what he was asking. She nodded slowly at his question. "I do, Sweeny." She glanced at the audience before looking dead into the cameras. She could make her promise here to her family, the promise that she'd return. "I'll be fighting as good as I can, as hard as I can so that I'm able to go home to my family. My dad and my little brother and sister need me. So, they're my determination." Even the very thought of their faces made Alledra's heart sink.
