Midnight EST is 5am for me, so I'm not sure I'll be up at that time. Might be. Ping me anyway--I'm almost always around, though invisible.
Eli's met both Jonah and Eppie. As far as I can tell timewise, Jonah was earlier, and while he's talking with Eppie, Jonah and Aurora were out doing their supply mission. So any time after they get back is fine with me.
If I'm still up, I'll watch for you signing onto AIM, and we can chat. If I'm not, then just toss out anything, and I'll pick up on it. Eli's pretty flexible.
