Invictus de Mountford's POV:

The limo driving me to the game centre pulls up a few feet away from the entrance and I look up at the grand building, somewhere in there the audience is taking its seats and the tributes names are being put into a large glass bowl ready for me to choose them. Its perfect timing as usual as the limo pulls up just as the car in front of it drives away after the first of the gamers had entered the centre. It was probably Impala, he's always first. As my car pulls to a stop an Avox in a smart suit opens the door and bows to me as I step out. All around me camera's flash and the crowd of fan girls screams and shouts my name.

"Oh my, it's Invictus" one girl screams as her much hotter friend flashes her boobs towards me.

"I love you" she shrieks, "I want to have your babies"

I laugh and pull out my signing pen from my pocket, "Shall I sign my name" I say to the topless young woman.

"Oh yes please" she sighs and I scribble my name on her soft breast, nice.

"I'm gonna get that tattooed" she screeches

"Promise me?" I say as I run my finger along my signature much to her pleasure "and it'll work as you're ticket to every single one of my parties."

She screams again and I move onto the next few fans, they're a bit more conservative unfortunately and I sign some head shots and pose for some pictures before moving inside the centre. Here I mingle in the foyer for a few minutes before meeting up with my Mom and saying a polite hello to my current step-father.

"Good luck tonight boy" he says with a little nod "May the odds be ever in your favour." It's an old saying but he's a kind of an old guy, so I let it slide. After saying goodbye to them and greeting Dad and his new wife I make sure my parents are seated as far away as possible from each other before finally feeling able to converse with me friends.

Making my way over to my ex-stepbrother Atticus I slap him firmly on the back, barely noticing his conversational partner Kingston Hatter.

"Atticus my main man" I cry, "Missed you at the gym yesterday."

"Had a babe with me didn't I?" he chortles as I barely notice Kingston give a quick polite bow and scuttle away.

"Oh who?" I inquire "Anyone I know?"

"Nah just some babe I picked up in a club. You excited for tonight?" He changes the subject quickly I notice, making me conclude that it was probably one of my exes that he was seeing. I decide to leave him at that and not embarrass him about it, but I'd send out a few feelers tonight and find out who it was soon enough.

"Course, pissed I didn't make top billing but you know, this could still be my year." I tell him, scowling at the thought of Impala "notice you didn't make the top twenty four though, again." I'm a little bit pissed off by this, always wanted to beat him in a public field.

"You know I'm not as keen as you bro, anyway I'm just in it for the parties" he laughs as an announcer calls for the top twenty four to make their way to back stage.

"Hope you get a good tribute" Atticus says "Not like that weak chick you got last year."

"See you on the other side" I say as head over to join twenty three other gamers, standing at the front of the line and still surrounded by a throng of admirers is Maximus Impala, the bane of my life.

I elbow some groupies out of the way to get to my place behind that insufferable prat as a flustered production assistant shoo's them all to the audience.

"Good to see you still know your place" he laughs "After all these years you're still behind me" a few people back I hear the chortling laughter of another player. He'd better watch his back if he didn't want to finish in last place and be a laughing stock of the whole damn country.

"I hope you get District Three" I respond as the red live light shines above the doorway between us and the stage. It's show time.


A/N: One last short POV to introduce Invictus as I've a had a few other gamers mention him and was building a good image of him that I wanted to share. I'm going to close the submissions now and get on with the games, first things first though, the results show.
