In 2001, Andrew took a trick into a Boston alley. The money he'd get from the guy would pay for that month's rent. He never emerged from it. Fourteen calendar years later, Andrew staggered out of an alley on the opposite side of town, bleeding superficially but broken much more deeply. The Dusk Court was a perfect fit. While time doesn't heal all wounds, and for some it doesn't heal any, in Andrew's case it did. His beliefs slowly evolved away from Dusk and toward Dawn until he left one for the other, without drama, and maintaining his friendships. But Boston held too many memories and he left the city. He wandered through New England, staying weeks or maybe months in those towns where he could perform, usually in strip clubs or gay bars. And then he arrived in Fort Brunsett. (All of the above can be discovered ICly with a little research.)
