Time, he wondered, what is that anymore? So much had passed down here in this dark place. But was where he was actually dark, or was it just dark within his own mind. That he could not answer yet. Sorrow had known him when he walked above with the living. Due to what he was everyone he knew had passed away and turned to dust long ago. Ad he didn’t want to risk a battered heart after it happened for the third time. He always out lived those around him and it caused him a lot of pain. So he decided to move under ground where he couldn’t be found and build his own life away from it all. What he hadn’t counted on was his home ever being found by anyone. He had sealed the cave that headed down into this unknown world. The dark trees had adapted to grow with little to no sun, the moss giving a soft colored glow to everything around him. And even animals had learned to live down here with him. And he had been happy, even as the living for company started to eat at him over the years. He sighed, his mind Tossing the idea if leaving and traveling up above to find out what if anything had changed. Though he doubted humans had changed much in the last few hundred years. But how would he know if he stayed in this hole in the ground the rest of his life. And he needed to get a few minor supplies to keep things moving though almost everything could be found within the hallowed walls. He reached up pushing his dark hair back from his face revealing dark almost a purple shade of eyes within his pale face. “Man I need a cut” he muttered his deep voice echoing back to him actually surprising him since he didn’t have a real reason to speak. He wondered if hunters were still a thing as he started towards the outer exit grabbing a light black coat on his way and pulling it over a more gothic style black shirt. Figuring he would find out one way or the other he began the long walk up the tunnel and to his new fate.

The night was cold, yet the streets of New Orleans were as bright illuminated as day. The night was still young, the streets crowded with people dressed all fancy to visit one of the many casinos or brothels that could be found around every corner od the street. The life in New Orleans was bright, the nights long. Days were used to sleep out the damage from the night before. It wasn't necessary a life that Laurent chose for himself, but he had accepted it a long time ago. He tucked his hands into the pockets of his coat as his eyes skimmed over the people on the crowded streets until he found himself standing in front of one of the many casinos that lined on besides each other on this street. Laurent was a regular by now in most of them. Today was no different. Letting out a small sigh, he pushed open the doors to the casino, the scent of smoke and booze lingering in the air, filling all the man's senses. He went over to get himself a few chips before he walked over to one of the poker tables. "There you are Laurent!" One of the man waved at him. "We've been waiting for you bud!" Another one exclaimed, furrowed looking at his cards. "Hope you don't mind that we're already playing a little warm up." The last one chuckled, taking a pull of his cigarette. "No problem Gentlemen. Just deal me in." Laurent gave them a confident smile before settling down to join them for a few rounds. @Lil Terror
