[color=ed1c24]Axel J. Black[/color]

Axel gave out a long yawn. He was tired. He has been up for about 72 hours straight and he was feeling it. He picked up a large tomato, inspected it for a moment, and placed it in the basket. He was in the middle of grocery shopping for his landlords. They were a nice couple, and very sympathetic towards Axel's story, and they allowed him to live in their guest house rent free if he did all of their chores and errands for them. He didn't actually mind, but the part that made him unhappy was the fact that he had to do everything they asked during the day. Everybody knows most vampires are nocturnal, and he was no different. He grabbed a few more fruits and veggies and went on his way.

He stepped out of the marketplace and instantly regretted it. The sun was out in full force and it took almost an immediate toll on Axel's body. He could feel his strength leaving him, and the bag of food that he had just bought instantly got heavier. Another negative thing about having to work during the day. He slowly moved through the streets, dodging the people, when he came upon the local inn. After a moment of debating, he decided to drop in and have a quick bite to eat. He walked in, grabbed a chair, and asked for a Blood Mary. Once he had received his order, he reached into his pocket and pulled out some little red pills, Dehydrated Blood Substitutes. He dropped them in his drink and began to stir. He took this  time to skim the room and see who was there. He saw two other people, a female and a male with longish hair, sitting at the bar. A guy wearing a skull mask and a scythe, and a few others. He had actually stopped paying attention to others when he saw a girl instantly sculpt a giant ice statue of the reaper striking a cool pose. She asked if everyone was 'cool'. Axel didn't find a lot of humor in the pun, but decided to humor her. [color=ed1c24]"Oh yes, very cool. You do this often?"[/color] He asked walking up to the statue. He saw his distorted reflection staring him down against the ice. His tattoo on his face, the one that is a symbol of him being exiled from Gortana, was highly prevalent in his reflection.
