Maya Gomez || Psychological Evaluation

[Arrows]

From the Desk of Dr. Imogen Lapointe
Evaluation 10: Year of the 7th Hunger Games

Her pen makes several final flourishes on the page marked for Alexson Knox before flipping finally to something fresh. A new page meant for a new tribute. Placing both her pad and pen down on the table, she takes it upon herself to step out of the cell for a second to get a freshly chilled bottle of water to place alongside the muffins. She has already gained more information than she could have imagined and she still isn't done. There's a lot to be said about data derived from such a statistically young age group. 

Returning to her seat, she takes one last look at May Gomez's file before slipping it away into the bag by her chair. As with any visitor of her's, she has to try to find the best way to approach. Often times the initial impression is what everything else is based on. Naturally, she can't account for everything but she can be as prepared as possible for what they may or may not say. Reactions are supposed to be her specialty after all. This next tribute though, Maya, may prove to peak such reactions. Compared to others, her record is intensively well kept. Incarceration of treason for an eventual trial as an adult... where to even begin. Well, probably with not pissing her off too much.

The sound of the holding cell's door squeaks and she stands sparing a soft, yet considerate smile. "Hi, I'm Dr. Lapointe. I just have a couple questions for you, please have a seat and you're welcome to the water or muffins." She waits for Maya to take a seat before sitting down herself picking up both the pen and the notebook before her. This is the beginning. "Before we begin, I just want to explain why you're meeting me. I'm a psychologist and I really want to get to know each and every one of you. To me, you're so much more than just numbers. You're unique individuals." Her fingers clicks the pen softly as though a prelude to the flowing ink that is to follow. How many times will she repeat this speech today? Another pen click. Many times, of course.  "Since there really is no great place to start considering the circumstances, Maya you were already incarcerated. Do you view the Games as a potential way out of that? You can use as little or as much detail as you'd like. This is your time, I'm just here to listen."
