Sponsorships
Roux was uncomfortable, then again who could blame him? He had the incredibly bizarre gamemaker hovering uncomfortably over his shoulder staring at the blank form that he clutched in his hands. "Why haven't you filled it out yet? I already gave you like five minutes." Chess spat irritably getting a few dots of spit on Roux's face.
Roux was feeling one of his signature tantrums coming on, however he tried to hold back. The gamemaker held far more political sway than he could ever dream of obtaining. "Chess Winchester, could you please stop spitting on my face? You'll smudge my makeup." Roux said tightly looking down at his paper again and then to the list of tributes, trying not to feel overwhelmed.
"Well you are 'smudging' my scheduled! My beautiful color-coded schedule! I have to be sipping coffee and pondering the tributes individual psyches in two minutes!" Chess stood up and covered his face and let out a long whale like moan.
Harlow pursed her lips and leaned back in her seat that surrounded the long white table taking in the whole scene. Neith sat beside her unfazed by Chess's unusual behavior while Ravena and Dare flanked Chess with expressions of irritation plastered over their faces. Her eyes stopped upon Dare. He had actually become rather handsome ever since he had dropped his previous look and gone for something more natural. She had heard he was the passive one out of the lot, maybe he was her way in. "Perhaps if Neith and I tell you who we sponsored it will help Roux with his decision."Harlow said innocently tucking a curl behind her ear.
Neith let out a snort, "Yes, I agree with Harlow, I have places I have to be. " She glanced down at her paper where she had scribbled two names in thick black ink. "I am sponsoring Shadow Skye, she seems like victor material, not to mention she is from my home district. My second choice is Waye Tidal. I am rather drawn to his dark persona."
"All careers this year, eh, Neith?" Roux said uncomfortably, looking down at his paper and then to Harlow, obviously concerned she would beat him to sponsoring someone. "I think I've decided-"
"Finally." Chess cut him off looking at his watch.
Roux pinched his lips together tightly and ignored him. "In previous games my tributes haven't really made it that far, and I think I know the reason why. I always sponsor people I think can win, what I should really be doing is sponsoring people like me because I think we all know who would win the hunger games out of everything in this room." Roux smiled and pointed at himself as everyone in the room attempted not to laugh. "I am sponsoring Jem Darling because I see myself in him. I am hot. He is hot. My logic is flawless. Likewise with Mye Bentler. We are all undeniably handsome." He clapped his hands in an accomplished manor and sat back with a grin.
Harlow looked down at the names on her paper, truth be told she wasn't overly concerned about the fate success of her tributes. Her motives for being here purely circled around revenge, however she did think she was sponsoring good tributes. "Nevia Sallie and Phoenix Miller. Both are incredibly strong contenders, I can't believe you two chose otherwise." She smiled smugly and folded her paper and slid it across the table to Chess.
She was going to kill that man if it was the last thing she did.
