Apparently Elliot's an adult now? Ha, that's funny. At the very least, he's finished college and is gallivanting around Japan for a year of "grad school" (defined loosely) before starting work at a Japanese corporation in the fall.
He's fluent-ish, or at least enough to get into trouble. He's gangly tall and blonde. He enjoys both natto and umeboshi. He only sings the most shameful of songs at karaoke. He fights blackbelts at judo though he himself is a n00b. He is Eli.
