Among the unaffiliated, Apollinaire stands out as a Poodle who is decorated like a walking gallery and twice as opinionated. Apollinaire oils every wheel within walking distance, even ones that do not turn. There is a long running rumor that Apollinaire once swapped a ribbon faded by ocean salt for a better story and called the trade fair. On clear nights Apollinaire stares at the sky as if waiting for something that hasn't come back yet, and probably will.
