It's almost 8 AM by the time Alex is done with his three-bus journey... one Greyhound and two SACRT. He's running on only three hours' sleep, but after the unexpectedly sumptuous in-flight meal he's brimming with nervous energy. Standing on the sidewalk he checks and re-checks the list of names and addresses written in his notebook. Things to do, people to see... Like the Forge (nope, that doesn't sound too ominous, not even a little bit) where he'll be expected to report for football tryouts or pistols at dawn or whatever it is that the Summers do to break in new recruits... There's a list of the other Court headquarters and a few other public meeting places. But first things first. Edna's Boarding House and a place to settle down, if only until he can find (and afford) something better.
He looks up at the house and back down at the address in his notebook several times until he's really sure that this is the place. It reminds him more than a little of the house from The Amityville Horror, complete with windows that seem to stare out at him like glassy eyes... Creepy. But creepy is supposed to be Autumn's thing, after all. And as walks up the path he can feel a faint tingle of the Wyrd. He pauses one moment more on the porch before approaching the door that marks his entry into the wider world of Changeling society and... OK, no need to be so dramatic. There's just lots to do. And it ain't gonna suck itself...
Alex opens the door and steps inside.
