[Accidental Video]

[The camera comes on crookedly as it hits the ground, showing a frantically struggling and squeaking mouse being held up to Apollo's face in both fists. He grins.]

Gotcha.

[The mouse's squeaking and struggling abruptly ends when Apollo bites its head off. There's the faint sound of crunching bones as he stuffs the rest of it into his mouth with both hands, finally slurping up the tail like a noodle before licking his lips contentedly. He starts to bound off on all fours, then stops, pats a pocket, and returns for his D-Comm. The feed ends.]

It was a mouse.

[He finally digs out the booger and... eats it. What were you expecting him to do with it?]

They're great. You just haven't tried one have you?

Dude! Were you...raised by wolves or something?

Stupid. How can an animal raise a human?

I raised myself and my friend Baron helped.

That...makes no sense, yo. How'd you raise yourself?

I just did.

...Baron saved me when I was starving to death in the internment camp. We escaped together and found places to sleep and steal food from. Baron taught me all kinds of stuff and I taught myself how to hunt and get food for us. We survived on our own and took care of the kids.

Oh dude...I-I didn't know...

[Crap. Now he feels bad.] ...Sorry.

[Why did he get all mopey in front of some random kid? Overly-aggressive reaction time!]

Don't assume stuff.

I wasn't trying to assume anything, yo.

Hmph.

[He sighs.]

How about we just forget all that and just start over, okay?

My name's Jake. Jake Long.

Apollo.

[Still a little annoyed.]

Nice to meet ya. So...besides catching and eating rats, what else do you do?

[He shrugs.]

Explore the cities. Eat. Sleep. Whatever I feel like.

[Apollo: Freeloading bum. Includes frequent bouts of hobo stank and disregard for authority figures.]

...Anything else. Video games? Skate boarding? Going to movies?

I've snuck into movies a few times.

Cool. Still though, don't you have friends to hang out with?

I sometimes hang around Tenenbaum's place. None of my friends from home are here though.

Then you need to make some new friends, dude.

I'm good.

[No, he's kinda lonely, but he's too proud to admit that.]

What if I said I'd get you food if we hang out together?

[Be proud all you want. He'll go for what he is pretty sure if a sure fire way to get you to hang out.]

[A moment's pause and then...]

Where are you?

[Success! Hope your wallet's full, Jake. You have no idea how much Apollo can eat.]

[Score.]

Silver Dragon Inn, Tetha. Need a location marker?

I know where it is.

[Action? Or Log?]

Alright. See you in a few.

[Action is easier unless you wanna set up a log.]

[Apollo will wander up to the entrance with poor posture and his hands in his pockets, looking around for Jake.]
