Re: stormie!
Yes, I wanted to comment about that earlier but ran out of time before having to head out the door! WORK IS ALWAYS IN MY WAY. Regardless--I think there's definite potential there for rubbing shoulders, or whatever else may occur. Elijah already has a certain dislike for snakes, shall we say, and given Apep's original incarnation, that's already going to weird him out (should he ever find out about it, that is). But since he's such a high energy dude and loves ALL THE THINGS! and sunshine, I can definitely see him rubbing Apep the wrong way. Like. So bad. But it'll be hilarious (for us).
Nereus is the older mentor figure already to all the people!!, and I think his association to the sea would make Jack feel a sort of kinship for him, were they to meet in person. But they get along decently well over the forum anyway, and I enjoy watching them interact. It is a tentative acquaintanceship (maybe that's what you'd call it...) and I like it!
