Hell's Kitchen

Meet Chef Victor Delacroix, a culinary genius with a chilling secret! By night, he was known as "The Butcher", a ruthless serial killer and assassin wielding a blood-stained meat cleaver. His grotesque talent? He gains the abilities and attributes of whatever – or whomever – he eats. This macabre skill set made him one of the most feared figures in the criminal underworld. Fed up with his gruesome life of crime, Victor decides to vanish from the radar and start fresh. He moves to the capital and opens an exclusive restaurant called "Hell's Kitchen." His dishes are unparalleled, attracting an elite clientele: the wealthy, the corrupt, and the morally bankrupt, each harboring their own dark tastes... In Hell's Kitchen, every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience - often literally a slice of life. Yet, his patrons are blissfully unaware of Victor’s true identity as The Butcher, concealed behind the charming facade of a master chef. As Victor tries to carve out a new existence, the ghosts of his past start to close in. Sinister patrons with dangerous appetites, old enemies seeking revenge, and the lure of his own monstrous cravings threaten to drag him back into the abyss. The line between his dual lives blurs, and each night becomes a battle to keep his sinister nature at bay. "Hell's Kitchen" is a twisted tale of redemption and temptation, where humanity and monstrosity collide. In a world where darkness is served on a silver platter, can Victor ever truly escape his blood-soaked past, or will the shadows consume him once again?

The following morning, the crew at Hell's Kitchen woke up with a sense of relief and excitement. The tension from Joahna Moriarty's investigations had eased significantly, and Victor decided it was time for a well-deserved break.

Gathered in the cozy living area of the restaurant, Victor announced, "Alright, everyone. We've been through a lot lately, and I think it's time we took a couple of days off. How does a beach weekend sound?"

The room erupted in cheers and enthusiastic agreement. Nyssa's eyes sparkled with excitement, and Lyra's usual aloofness melted away, replaced with genuine enthusiasm. Evelyn clapped her hands together, grinning widely, while Elise, ever the charmer, winked at Lucien, who simply nodded in approval.

Victor chuckled at their reactions. "Alright, let's get everything packed up and head out. We deserve this."
