hee hee hee--Aerith's is going to tie into these, BTW. And Zack's. They both hit me and hard a couple days ago--I just have to read through a game script for settings and watch a couple clips from CC to get myself back up to speed, and then. >XDDD I also got plot-bunnied today for something for fictunes that's going to be Aerith/Cloud and has to do with the whole idea of Cloud having bits of Zack in his head that he doesn't know aren't him. Whether or not it'll be in the same 'verse as this, I dunno, but it might just because of spillage, what with me having all this in my head.
And god, I feel so sorry for Cloud--I kind of figure that, in order for Seph to be able to take someone over, like happened with Kadaj, there's a process of sort of having to empty, so to speak, the person it's being done to--they still have to be there, mentally speaking, and whole enough for Seph to fit himself into, but Seph and Jenova didn't quite know what they were doing the first time and how much someone actively fighting the process would, well, result in something completely unusable--even in the game, Sephiroth was never able to completely take Cloud over. I'm going with the idea that being fractured like this actually kind of helped Cloud after he was "fixed" since there was still, well, leakage out--he was a leaky vessel, and Seph couldn't stay in.
And the new apartment! It's like camping, only indoors. And with no fire, because I don't want the fire department to show up. It will continue to be camping (yay, sleeping on the floor with a blanket! Yay no fridge or way to cook!) until, oh, May. *cry* But! The place is gorgeous and I can't wait to be able to actually buy stuff for it.
