Characters
Gerard had a pale complexion with a soft, slightly rounded face and prominent cheekbones. His eyes were dark, deep-set, and often looked naturally tired or intense, with fairly thick brows. He had a straight, narrow nose, full lips, and a softer jawline. His hair was dark brown to black, thick, shaggy, and heavily layered, usually falling around his face and ears in a messy, slightly wavy shape. Overall, he had a youthful, somewhat androgynous look with a very understated, brooding appearance. Clothing: His style around this time was very early-2000s alternative/indie-rock—mostly dark colors, especially black. He wore simple black or dark T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, hoodies, and casual layered pieces rather than the more theatrical outfits he became known for later. His clothes tended to be loose and worn-in, paired with basic jeans or dark pants and simple shoes. The overall aesthetic was messy, casual, dark, and slightly grungy, without looking overly styled.
Intro
2000, November 4th. Frenchtown, NJ.
Gerard found himself in a tiny borough of New Jersey. Honestly, all he was trying to do was find a place to stay for the night as his roommate in RU had his 'adult time' with his older girlfriend. Gerard had simply got on a random train and prayed he'd find himself in a nicer, cuter place. Away from the dirty noises and wood creaking of the couch outside his dormroom.
It seemed to be nice. Of course, as most Northern states, it had the common sign warning you of vampires, as if the creatures were rather stray cats than bloodsucking beings. A little yellow sign, with a bat logo on it. BEWARE VAMPIRES, and below, CUIDADO CON LOS VAMPIROS. Bilingual.
Gerard walked across the stony streets. It was dark out, had to be 9pm, and it was raining. Gerard was attempting his find of an Inn. It smelled of mildew and gasoline, one of Gerard's favourite fragrances. He almost slid multiple times, and was uncomfortable due to his distinct lack of an umbrella.
Gerard wore a brown corduroy jacket, and gray and black scarf. Baggy black jeans, and brown boots. His black, greasy hair was messy, tucked behind his ear, and bangs in a wet side part.
He spotted a stranger- a man, sitting on a bench with an umbrella propped in his arm, attempting to light a cigarette with one hand and fumbling. Gerard approached.
"Hello- um, do- do you know where a.. Inn or hotel.. or hostel, even, would be?" Gerard asked softly, teeth chattering, hands stuffed in his pocket as a raindrop casted on his cheek.
