[ ❀ ❀ ❀ ] [ ❀ Ten Minutes until the interviews. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai glanced over the curtains looking at the crowd who roared widely as the interview asked the current tribute questions about the training centre with interest. They seemed to be enjoying it which brought spirit to Kanai. ❀ ] [ ❀ Nine minutes. ❀ ] [ ❀ The molly's dress was covered in beautiful blue crystals shifting into a pastel purple. Her blue eye had blue crystals near it, looking as if it was almost stabbed into the eye- she looked stunning- she looked like a goddess. As if nothing would be able to stop her. The collar, earrings, wristbands and the crown were all a perfect touch to her outfit and it made her stand out. Even maybe… glow? ❀ ] [ ❀ Eight minutes. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai glanced down at the colorful smoke bombs in her paw with a grin, sliding them into the hoop in her Earrings, now looking like the planet Saturn formed in there with just one touch. The bombs were awfully small, but could cause so much smoke it would be able to cover the whole entire stage. It would be a wonderful way to step onto the stage excitingly. Possibly even impress the capitol. ❀ ] [ ❀ Seven minutes. ❀ ] [ ❀ The smell of the smoke bombs was a lovley refreshing lavender and the color was a beautiful silver. The scent filled up the backstage even when kanai barely touched them. ❀ ] [ ❀ Six minutes. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai was confident, she was doing great- better than most tributes. Thoughts swarmed over kanai and it took over the time- [- How is Atticus? How is Azymodias? How is Tanner? Tanner… -] she flushed at the name and sat in the seat beside her to calm down. Five minutes wasted thinking about tributes- and even the questions- what if she asks kanai about her past? About her loved ones? Or even worse? Kanai gulped that thought down deep inside of her feelings and put on a confident smile. ❀ ] [ ❀ One minute. ❀ ] [ ❀ "Well ladies and gents, That's the last District one lad! Please wait patiently while I call out the next tribute, my Darlings!!" Called out a friendly female French voice from behind the curtains and Kanai stepped up ready for her entrance. "Now Darlings, please welcome to the stage Kanai Bulbanov of District two!!" Introduced the Molly and the orange pelted cat smirked, taking the smoke bomb from her earring and hitting it harshly against the marble stage floor. ❀ ] [ ❀ BOOM. a Silver, almost white cloud of smoke filled up the stage room, and the crowd gasped curiously. Kanai crept stealthily into her soft purple Seat across from her interviewer. The cloud of smoke disappeared quickly and the crowd screamed in shock and joy when they saw kanai sitting in the chair with a smile. "Oh my- what an entrance!! Absolutely gorgeous, Ms.Bulbanov. no wonder you're quite favored by the capitol, mademoiselle~" purred the interview, her voice with a strong accent. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai placed her paws onto her cheeks as if she was blushing. "Why thank you~ I clearly appreciate that lovely comment, Miss." She said in a kind tone, flickering her tail at the interviewer's direction. "Where was I- aa! Yes, onto the first question. Kanai, how do you enjoy the food in the training centre? Any favorite dishes?" She asked, looking closely at Kanai. ❀ ] [ ❀ But kanai couldn't lie- the capital's food was amazing. She came to the Cafe and Cafeteria more than actually training- "Well, I can't lie, all of your food is absolutely amazing. From the salads to the chocolate donuts- they are delicious, rich, flavourful- Honestly I just can't believe it's possible to make such amazing meals. I don't even know how anyone choses!" Pointed out the she-cat with a laugh, waving at the crowd as they cheered after she answered her question. ❀ ] [ ❀ Her interviewer laughed, setting a paw onto her lap. “Thank you Dear, The cooks do amazing, I know darling. Onto the next question. Do you like your outfit? I mean it's a gorgeous look, mademoiselle." Asked the interview, her French accent filled the air even more than before. ❀ ] [ ❀ "I think it's out of this world. With a touch of my creativity and my designers it turns out perfect. Just, perfect." Kanai started with a purr and with a push of a button on her top her whole dress lit up in purple and teal pastel colors making her outfit even more stunning. The crowd roared astonishingly and one male Tom even threw a rose as the she-cat. ❀ ] [ ❀ "I can tell you absolutely are one of a kind, any cat would fall for you~ and look at that that leads us to your fifth question! Are you in a current love life right now? And of course you can't leave us without the name." Chuckled the interview with a small grin as the crowd laughed curiously. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai gulped nervously but it didn't show and she giggled. [- Tanner. -] "My, of course I am." She said playfully, twitching her ears from side to side. "The name, hm? Well, I'm a generous cat and won't leave you without a hint~ blue eyes. I won't tell you if it's one blue [+] [ + ❀ + ]
[ + ❀ + ] [+] eye or two, that's the point of a riddle anyway. To solve it." Kanai mewed with a smirk and the crowd giggled silently. eye or two, that's the point of a riddle anyway. To solve it." Kanai mewed with a smirk and the crowd giggled silently. ❀ ] [ ❀ "I clearly understand mademoiselle, you are beautiful naturally. Onto our next question Darlings!! Would you prefer to use claws or weapons to battle?" Purred Kanai’s interview with large eyes. ❀ ] [ ❀ "Of course using caws to fight is very impressive, using weapons while fighting would make a bigger advantage in winning.” Purred Kanai, lashing her tail as she Said this. her expression had a calm look- a calm but beautiful one. ❀ ] [ ❀ The crowd clapped loudly filling up the room with echos- The Molly smiled at Kanai and continued. “Last question for you my darling. May you tell us about your family?” She asked curiously and the crowd fell silent. ❀ ] [ ❀ Kanai’s face froze but she was able to slide out a small smile. [- she did NOT just ask that. She did NOT. -] she let out a sigh but still kept a smile on her face. “Well, I have a lot of relatives from the Bulbanov family of course, but I also have a sister. Moxie Bulbanov, she participated in round five if you didn’t know.” Kanai mewed in a professional tone, keeping her cool as much as possible. ❀ ] [ ❀ The interviewer nodded and smirked at the crowd. “Now please, give an applause to Kanai Bulbanov!” Purred the cat. The crowd roared like crazy and Kanai waved with a grin, walking off the stage. Her face melted into a slight frown and she stormed out of the backstage into the training center with a growl. ❀ ] [ ❀ She did good. ❀ ] [ ❀ But was it good enough? ❀ ] [ ❀ No. ❀ ] [ ❀ They asked the question she feared. ❀ ] [ ❀ Just like Kanai said- ❀ ] [ ❀ “Some cats say it’s power, some say it’s luck. I in fact think wisdom is what strucks.” ❀ ] [ ❀ ❀ ❀ ] [ Credit ] [ Music: Animal Jam, Mt. Shiveer ] [ Art/character: @Ostrid1 [ me ] ] [ ❀ ❀ ❀ ]
