Prologue

                                          "The Hunt Finds Us All".

                                      October 1954 new Orleans.

 "I see you've made it my boy." Says the man releasing flam with his breath, then slowly dragging his cigar. "Its been a long time" the man pauses sitting up with the crackle of his barstool he commandeered. With the flip of his wrist and the release of his palm a shining piece if metal makes its self known. He slams his piece on the bar smiling and with just a laugh looks up at the once young lad "joseph you fucker get over here."

Joseph walks over to the old man with a grin " Old Man Midnight ." The old man pulls his old friend into a hug before they both hop on their stools taking in the the shine of the thousands of bottles in the bar, almost seeming magical with there glow, the and playing in the background and the couples dancing. "So what you want to drink its on me tonight? After today though your fucked" Midnight grumbles with a black toothed grin before he starts laughing loudly as the bartender walks up.

The bartender steps up to ask the men what they'll have but Joseph puts up his palm to him and stops him "I need him sober for for the moment if that's ok". Midnight shrugs "So..." Midnight take a long drag from his cigar before continuing "You here for information aint ya?" Joseph nods "I wanna know what happened to em old man" Midnight sighs the air becomes cold and fringed and the bar quiet. "Alright I guess ill tell ya but..." he pauses for a second contemplating if he should actually tell Joseph or not. He then looks at the once young boy he knew turned into the man he sees infront of him now and smirks to himself "don't be falling asleep on me now I'm not telling ya again."

Midnight begins by asking if joseph still believes in "him" joseph begins laughing as midnight begins to turn pale. "well" midnight gives a grin with his teeth now falling out and his eyes turning gray. "we both know he aint watchin". Midnight giggles "any last words my dear boy" joseph unfazed smiles his teeth black as night looking like a vortex "nope you already know ill be back."

midnight begins breathing heavy coughing deathly ill before grabbing joseph by his jacket he felt cold. Ice cold! Joseph looks down his jacket freezing to old man midnights hands midnight now cackling and giggling as a hole opens up in the floor filled with neon and ash. The rest of the building disburses except for there stools as they drop into an unknown domain. 

The domain suddenly starts out as gray then quickly becomes beaming with life. As joseph looks around he notices there now in a city booming the streets a sleek shade of green and pink. Street lamps begin popping up glowing a looming shade of purple . Midnight looks directly into josephs eyes "you ready"? joseph smiles "only one way to know".

Mr. midnight grins his teeth returned now golden "amen then lets begin."
