[Apollo had made it to his apartment, a little shell-shocked and pushing himself along in a daze. Getting whisked away to some weird, futuristic city was... well, it hadn't quite sunk in yet. It just had to be a dream, right? He had fallen asleep watching old sci-fi shows and this is just what he gets for doing it. That just had to be it. It was that kind of thinking that brought Apollo to the apartment suite, and the room assigned to him, where he had found the letter explaining the existence of the coven. That he had some kind of magic now, after just being told that magic wasn't allowed in this city.
This... had to be a joke. It had to be. All of a sudden, the fact that he had just let himself be lead to this apartment is starting to leave a bad taste in his mouth. Apollo makes it down to the lobby before he realizes that something feels weird about his neck... he has to loosen his tie and undo the top button of his shirt to get at the problem, but he can clearly feel the hard metal of the signet lodged at the base of his throat.
And that's when Apollo starts to panic, with full Chords of Steel level shouting involved.]
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
D. [Some time later, Apollo has mostly calmed down. It was partially curiosity that had him venturing outside of the apartment building, but also because he just needed some breathing room to think about this situation he's found himself in now. ... And really, this city didn't seem like all that bad of a place. It was actually kind of nice, when he could make himself forget that he wasn't where he was supposed to be.
It's as Apollo is walking past a bar and grill that he spots a sign advertising their holiday dinner specials. The reminder that food exists is making his stomach growl. Yeah, eating at some point was a good idea. He steps into the restaurant to discover that it's awfully crowded... was there even any seating left?]
