Adghjs what a thing to threaten! I bet that helped their relationship grow real well.

Yep, that's totally good with me! It's actually a canon plot point that Apophis is radiating dark miasma pretty badly, be it for dimension hopping from place to place, attacking, or outright forcing other living creatures to turn into horrible monsters that are at his beck and call. So he's pretty used to showing up as a pretty bad case of 'evil spirit' on most people's radars as long as they have some kind of 6th sense. If John asks him about it he'll just roll with it and blame it on Imhotep and his botched rescue attempt, since that left his and Djoser's shared existence kinda undead~♫

Can Apophis sense anything about John in return?

[thetatters]

You can lie to John about lore pretty easily bc he remembers very little from his eldritch deity days. He'll distrust this guy on vibes alone.

Definitely! Other powerful characters can sense that John is an eldritch entity possessing a human body (but he's a podcast character, so we don't know exactly what they see). Feel free to use any of this:

John is anchored primarily in this body's eyes. He's specifically a piece of "the King in Yellow," who is twice the size of a human and cloaked in trailing, tendril-like tatters of beautiful amber light. John normally has the ability to project that form beyond this human body, though he hasn't regained that power yet in the jamjar. His only permanent, visible monster transformation in-game is a yellow radiance in his eyes when he's startled or emotional.

Haha, it's gonna be fun since Apophis will have zero qualms tossing those vibes around just to mess with John, yet scramble to put them away and stick 'em in a pocket the moment Imhotep looks because he's going to pretend to be his BFF Djoser once again. (Also have a sneak peek at what Djoser's body looked like back when Apophis fresh got it, but CW GORE.)

And that sounds interesting! Apophis won't be able to pick up on the Eldritch thing (unless you want him to) since he'll be strongly nerfed, but he might make out that there's something dark going on and maybe that the soul doesn't match the body once he regains some of his powers. (Again only if you're cool with that, ofc.)
