I agree completely; when I said "the sooner the better," I didn't mean in the timeline of the RP itself lol. Sorry if that was misleading. 

Skips will be necessary, I guarantee it. Though, maybe we could do some of Rena trying to get Jeremy out of his comfort zone instead? Bonding with the video games is important I agree, but it would still be nice to see Jeremy get some growth & development as well and we'd still be able to get them to bond in that regard.

Also, it may take me a bit to reply. I've recently gotten pretty swamped.
