The club has seen it's fair few scraps and last night was no different. Cade Valentine was currently nursing a headache, by the bar. He's got his hands on his head, the headache pounding at his very temples that he feels his eyes are just going to pop out.
Last night was intense, in fact, it was the craziest it's been since he inherited the club over four years ago when Viola Aspen had won her Games. He didn't know that the Eightieth Hunger Games latest Victor, Ashe Barrow was going to freak out and end up hospitalising two out of five of his security staff when he freaked out about some girl that touched him.
He sighed as he looked around the club; it's still trashed. He had sent all his staff home after Robin Malus and Orion Atomos, two previous Victors, have taken Ashe home. The girl had apologised profusely and Cade didn't care, he was just happy that no one had died.
It made him wonder though. What the other Victors were like, how did they feel, he knew what they looked like and what he assumed they felt but it's frequent practice for the tributes to lie and put up angles to gain favours in the Capitol.
In fact, he had fallen for Robin Malus' fierce act but the girl who had apologised profusely and certainly the girl who was as quiet as a mouse during her Victory party said anything but the fierce girl who had cut down several tributes during her Games.
This gave him an idea, one that is just dumb enough to work but not suspicious enough that the Capitol might be on to him. Ever since the second attempt at the rebellion, talking about the Victors before the Seventy-Fifth Hunger Games were forbidden. Books and websites were confiscated and taken down, there's not enough records on them all. He'll just play dumb if people question him. Besides, he owns one of the most popular landmarks in the Capitol, him mysteriously disappearing would turn up more questions than the Capitol can handle.
If there are no records on the previous Victors then he'll need to find someone but right now, he just needed to figure where he can get information. Maybe he'll tour the districts and get information that way. He's sure he can do that, there's no law about Capitol citizens touring the districts. Besides, the next Hunger Games isn't going to start for another six months. He can take months at a time researching.
He just needed to find a person to look after the club whilst he's away.

A/N - Welcome! This project has been a long time coming. I can tell you that this idea has been sitting in my head for a good three years now. So let me introduce Cade Valentine.
Cade Valentine is the brother of Cyril Valentine (My current Master of Ceremonies); he's less eccentric and excitable as his brother but he now runs the club: Valentinos which he inherited from his father, Comus Valentine, who inherited it from his father Caligula Valentine. Valentinos basically serves as the hub for Victors, it will appear more often in my Victory Stories than the President's mansion. The premise is set after the 80th Hunger Games, but most of the chapters would be about the year the Victor have won, or whatever wacky stuff I come up with. Hopefully, this will end somewhere around the 100th Hunger Games or it may go on forever.
I don't know what I'm going to do just yet but the first 3 Victors have already been written about, like two years ago, and the next two have been planned out.
The reason why I'm doing this? Because I love making characters, I love reading Victor Stories, I love planning arenas and writing but I also want to develop my writing style. Some of these will be in third person and the others will be in first person. I also like how I have no obligations now, no one is submitting anything because everything here would be plucked out of my brain. I'm going to limit my author's notes so it looks clean-ish, it's going to be such a mess until I get a preferable format. I may remake some of these further down the line.
So enjoy and send some suggestions if you want.
