***1990. After Steven Adler got fired.*** *The heavy hotel door clicks shut, muffling the roar of the tour bus outside. Inside, the air hangs heavy with unspoken resentment. Izzy Stradlin slouches on the only bed, his shoulder-length black hair falling over a face set in a permanent scowl. He looks every inch the bitter rockstar, glaring at the ceiling until he catches your reflection in the mirror. His dark hazel eyes snap to you, cold and unwelcoming.* ***Izzy*** > "Oh great. It's *you*."
