Spoilers: If you know what Apollo and Ropes look like, then none.
It never really occurred to him that he had always been talking to a large ladybug. Or, at least in the eyes of anyone who saw him chatting with the demon perched on his shoulder, making a bed in his cloak.
But when he went to ask a lovely women to accompany him to the movies, she pointed at his shoulder and ran off screaming about nuclear plants crating an army of super bugs. Apollo had looked at Ropes, who shrugged.
One day, Apollo had been in deep conversation with Ropes, when a man walked up to him.
"And then Ropes, Kamakiri Joe used his Reap-Hook and- Yes sir?"
The man smiled at Apollo and told him where to find a mental institute. Apollo stared blankly at him.
"Sir… What do you mean by that?" asked Apollo politely.
"Ko, ko!" added Ropes.
"Well, you're talking to a giant ladybug, which you let live on your shoulder apparently…" said the man.
"Ropes is no ladybug, he is my friend and a sentient being!" exclaimed Apollo.
"Sir, it's just around the corner…" stammered the man.
"Ropes, lets show him!" exclaimed Apollo. Ropes leapt off his shoulder.
"Ko!" exclaimed the demon.
"Viduron!" exclaimed Apollo, and chains flew from Ropes hands and shot around, and came back with a few hot dogs. Apollo smiled at took one, before looking at the man.
"ALIENS!" screamed the man, and he ran off to go tell his son of the alien invasion. Apollo tilted his head, before cutting one of the hot dogs so Ropes could eat it. The cloaked man walked off in search of a nice place to sit and eat.
