(nodnodnod) poor messed up kids. Did I mention Cloud is going to run into Kadaj in the 25-streetsigns universe and (after the expected explosions, trauma, and wtf) start sorting out what it actually means for the two of them to be almost-family and stuff? 'cause they both need clues in that area and I can't resist...
(on the other hand, I am completely shamelessly delighted about this. ^________^ I think I need to make myself a ficbunny pimpin' icon...)
Yep, basement fixings going on apace! They're tearing out revolting paneling and demolding and later on they'll be crack-sealing and repainting and maybe they'll put in drywall if I can squeeze that out of the budget or get a loan from my parents... :D It's great for a sense of 'omg getting on the road back to normal,' but not so great for the 'auuugh too much noise to think' here and now. ^^;;; But in a couple weeks, it should be better! Not back to normal yet -- that's going to take refinishing the floor, getting drywall in myself if I can't hire it done, and so forth -- but getting there...
