After being abandoned by not one, but two women in the span of five minutes, King was feeling rather unloved. Nevermind the fact that he had no idea where he was, or what was going on, or why he was here, or where here was... The most important thing was that he had no guns. He had no stakes. He had no bullets, no knives, and no weapons of any kind. All he had were the clothes (and the target) on his back. Oh yeah, and that stupid box full of crap, minus the tube socks he'd given to.. what was her name? Kimberly. Yeah. Kimberly.. he'd known a blonde Kimberly once.. she'd been trouble, that one. She'd bitten a large wound into his shoulder. He'd loved every moment of it.

A smirk found his face at the memory, even as he stepped out of the forest and into the town. It took him a while to walk along the road, looking around, catching his reflection a few times in the dirty windows of shops. It was a ghost town. Where had everyone gone? For all he knew, those two girls he'd met were ghosts themselves.. but it didn't seem very likely.

"Hello?" He called out, cupping a gloved hand against his mouth as he did. There had to be someone here.. and he certainly wasn't worried about it being a town of vampires. Maybe he'd been knocked unconscious or something..? Really, it didn't matter how he'd gotten here, it just mattered where here was, and how he was going to get out. "Anybody home?" He shouted out again.

She noted his expression but made no show of smiling back. Sorry, natural suspicion and all. She did notice the curious holders on his front and wondered a moment what they had held before he arrived here. Her own thigh holsters and various pockets were quite empty as well, and though she was used to it she still lamented the loss. She was more than familiar with the methods humans, but mostly lycans, used to kill her kind. Hell, vampires staked each other from time to time when they needed someone to hold still long enough for a beheading. But slayers and the like hadn't been a big problem in her world, thanks to Corvinus and his Cleaners. Pity the ship blew up and they were all dead now. She could have learned quite a bit.

Selene opened her mouth then paused when he tossed in another comment, and she let out a quiet borderline frustrated sigh. They were from similar times then. He reminded her of young humans she occasionally encountered when having to track lycans through the streets. "I wouldn't say comfortable, just slightly used to how things carry on. And this is the fourth day of no sun, so yes, I've had time to get comfortable with the dark." A slight twitch of her lips as she fought against a smirk. Oh yes, she was quite comfortable in the dark.

She spared an absent glance around, no longer worried about zombies but there seemed to be a high amount of insect activity today. Something told her it had to do with the corpses but she hadn't explored the matter. Had no reason to, really. "As for where this place is? No one knows. Though a few seem to think we're on another planet. Don't ask me how that's supposed to work." All the space talk was completely over the vampire's head. "It's a prison, more or less."
