*hearts the radish spirit* Completely nonsensical for anyone who's not seen the film (and, perhaps for some who have), but I realized that I was doing him a disservice by leaving him out. Hopefully, he is not too jarring for those who don't know who he is. The references to the film and the Greek Underworld, they are numerous and not so subtle.

I feel like everyone is a bit too busy right now to be reading (or, at least, that's what I'm telling myself to feel better), but I'm glad that you have some lovely comments also. Here's hoping that people will drop by in the next little while to say nice things to both of us! *grins*
