Well, he had survived and was still kicking. At least that was what Vayne thought as he walked slowly down the street. He was in the open though, and it made him pretty uncomfortable, but things needed to be done, and he was going to look for some supplies. The down side to it all was the dead still roaming and trying to eat him, and those darned thorns that seemed to want to drain the life right out of him, or do whatever it was that they did to grow so massive.
The blond shrugged and rubbed the back of one of his hands, fingers running over the metal studs embedded there. It was as he was doing that, that the noise shocked him. Something loud, and loud spelled danger... or did it? Fireworks? Who the heck was doing something that dumb? He could almost feel his jaw drop as he thought about just how bad things would be over there. Someone may need help or something.
Vayne started walking almost against his will toward the lights of the fireworks part of his mind wondering if there was anything alive over there. What he saw was more shocking than he could have anticipated. The bright lights were hard on the eyes... and... wait, was that a damned Casino? The hell?

Well it was a Casino, there was no taking that away from it. The blond sighed and stepped inside, and was instantly hit with a smell of alcohol which made him feel kind of nauseous. He hated that smell, it made him think of dark things. Vayne looked around around slowly and his eyes widened, people, so many people all playing games. How did they gather so many in one place?
It was so bewildering, but not as much as the coins pushed into his hand. It seemed they wanted him to stay and play some of the games too. 50 of the tokens were in his hand, and Vayne just kind of blandly nodded as he started to walk around. Blackjack.. a game he sucked at. Poker, even worse than blackjack because there was no real luck involved, more strategy.
He knew that many slot machines were rigged in some way, but still it was the only thing he really felt comfortable trying, so that was where he sat down.
Vayne pulled the handle, and half closed his eyes as the machine made its clinking sounds coming to an end of its spin. Each reel slowly settled in place, and he opened waited to see if he had won anything.
He blinked a bit and gave a tiny quirk of a smile. He had won, he was up by 4 coins. Okay this wasn't so bad, still.. it was all just luck.
Hmm, well he had won some coins so there was no reason not to play a couple more spins, seeing as he was up now. A little nod was all it took from him to make him slide a second coin into the slot and wait to see what came up.
Well he had won one more coin, not a major bonus bit still it was an amount going up rather than down. Pretty good. He wouldn't have minded winning something a bit more substantial though.
This was going to be his last pull for the time being. He didn't want to risk losing any big amount so it was best to just stop while he was ahead. Pulling the handle a last time he waited to see what came up on the reels.
Another two coins. Nothing to write home about but any winning was a good thing. He scooped up his winnings and pocketed them looking around to see what else he could do.

He had only just decided to leave the machine when he felt a sudden giddiness. His head was spinning, he felt like he was going to throw up. Something was not right. He hadn't bought any drinks or food, he didn't smoke though some around him seemed to be doing so. Was it in the air, on the machine? Maybe it was the air conditioning after being so long without? There had to be some reason he felt so.......
......
As he came to, he felt his head throbbing, he was dizzy still and there was noise. Clapping, murmuring. He wasn't alone, but.. what was going on? Had he fallen into some elaborate trap? As Vayne heard the sounds on the speakers he knew that was the case. New players... Casino Games. He was screwed. What had he done? How the heck would anyone find him? Maybe he could get away to some panel in here and ******** with the security? Break himself and some others out?
He had no choice but to listen though as rules were spoke aloud. Given a number, buy our way out. Buy?? s**t he knew he was really in trouble there. He didn't have anywhere near enough money to get himself free.
He sighs weakly and closes his eyes again. This was hell. The voice on the speaker asks if there are any questions and Vayne decides it is best to keep silent. If he needed to know something he was sure to find out at some point.
He wasn't planning to speak anyway, but if he was going to he would have been silenced by the sudden movement, not just of him, but of his whole chair. Damn this person was strong, overpowering was not going to be an option.
He opened his eyes and noted two people in front of him. A weepy boy and a pretty young woman. He was being given the choice to set one free as their patron. Patron, how odd, if he got free they would too. Who to pick though, he felt bad for the boy who was probably a bit younger than him, but the sheer weakness of him was a bit off putting. The boy felt more like a liability, someone who would cling and hold him down. Sure he was cute... quite cute.. almost his type but no... he didn't need a clinger around.
The woman was not his type at all, but she at least seemed to have some spine. If he was going to get out of there he would need that help. Someone that can stand on their own despite being terrified. He knew what he had to do.
Nodding toward the woman, he waited to see what he would have to do, to become her patron.

Not surprisingly at all the woman seemed more than a little relieved that he had chose to set her free along with him, should he manage, but he felt terrible for the boy who was cut free and dragged off. He could only assume that he was going to be auctioned for that nights..... wait... did they say that nights dinner? Oh crap, had he just designated someone to become food? He didn't even want to think that way.
He watched in mute horror as the boy was dragged into the room, a small trail of blood leading and going through the door to the next room which he had not seen really. He sooo didn't want to know what was in there, if they were going to eat the boy he wanted to be able to deny all knowledge.
This was another one of those, shut up and concentrate on being free moments.
Vayne was more than a little taken aback by the whole situation, he looked at the girl and checked to see if she was okay, but it seemed she was more shell shocked than he was. Not surprising, she was on the verge of being dragged into that room where the boy went. He closed his eyes then looked about the new room they were taken into. This was so not good. They had given him a chance to clean up, which he did, a bit grateful for the chance to be clean after the last horrific month, but it seemed that the horror was far from over.
He looked again at the girl, but before he could even ask her name she was whisked away, leaving him standing in confusion in the room. What in the world was going on here?
When he is removed from the room, it is to see the same casino floor, only now he could see it for the trap it was. Guards stationed around the room, he had not took note of them before, it wasn't unusual for guards to be in a place with money after all, but there were also members of the prison there, people who were going through the same hell he was, and he couldn't even warn them. It would do no good, they would only get themselves killed if they tried to run. He could only hope they could escape.

Vayne's punk style shows just how much he disdains mainstream, and his attitude fully reflects all of that being rather cold. He ignores anything that he doesn't like and has snide comments ready. He is very attentive though, taking notes in his mind and paying attention to details that most would care very little for.
