Cedar: Most are apparently found, but often not in good condition (though I swear I will rebuild the milk machine if it's at all possible, I love that stupid car), so I'm holding out some hope but not a whole lot. I'm also particularly ticked because my car was Jan 12, 2021 15:17:44 GMT -4
Cedar: parked directly below my apartment window, locked, with multiple security safeguards on the vehicle since it was broken into last year and I am a step shy of paranoid, and none of that stopped them. It's not like I left it running while I ran back inside Jan 12, 2021 15:19:27 GMT -4
Cedar: to grab something real quick, which is apparently how most cars (particularly in Minnesota in winter because people will leave their cars running for a bit to heat up) get stolen. Jan 12, 2021 15:20:46 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: Hopefully it gets found sooner rather than later, and it's still okay! That really sucks though, I remember you saying that you'd made it pretty hard to steal but I guess the assholes were just really determined. Jan 12, 2021 16:44:20 GMT -4
Cedar: They found it! And it is apparently unharmed! :D :D :D Jan 12, 2021 17:27:40 GMT -4
Cedar: I have to go pick it up and sign a bunch of paperwork (and pay for the towing service because of course they make the victim pay the cost of recovering the vehicle, this is the USA), but it shall soon be returned to me. :D Jan 12, 2021 17:28:51 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: Yay!!! :D I'm glad they managed to find it, that was pretty fast!! Sucks that you have to pay to get it back, but Coche de Leche will be home again soon :D Jan 12, 2021 17:49:14 GMT -4
Cedar: Yep, my girlfriend is on her way to drive me to pick it up, and then I will THOROUGHLY search it for any internal damage/needles/drugs/anything that is not supposed to be there before I bring it home because I don't want to, you know, find cocaine in the Jan 12, 2021 18:02:37 GMT -4
Cedar: trunk when I get home. Jan 12, 2021 18:02:50 GMT -4
Cedar: "Undamaged" wow the cops sure have a funny idea of what an undamaged car looks like. It's definitely banged up, they cut through the steering wheel to get my steering wheel lock off, they stripped some of the floorboards, it won't start and a cursory Jan 12, 2021 19:48:32 GMT -4
Cedar: examination did not reveal why, so I'm having it towed to my mechanic tomorrow morning and we'll see what can be done. Hopefully it can be fixed for a reasonable amount. It really is bullshit though. Jan 12, 2021 19:49:26 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: Yeah, that's not how I'd use 'undamaged' either. Fingers crossed your mechanic can fix it relatively easily and doesn't extort you for it. But at least it's back, that's something. Jan 13, 2021 3:20:02 GMT -4
Cedar: He's good, he's done work on the car before and charges very reasonably. I'm waiting to get his repair quote before I decide whether/how much to invest in fixing it. In much better news, though, the baby Noodle is 25g now (she was like 7-8g when I got her) Jan 15, 2021 15:45:41 GMT -4
Cedar: and has become far less skittish so now she is perfectly calm while I handle her and takes naps on my shoulder while I'm working. She is a perfect gecko. Jan 15, 2021 15:47:04 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: That sounds fair *nods* Oh wow, she's grown so much!! That sounds really really cute :D Jan 15, 2021 17:01:51 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: I have some small good news, I started posting my stupidly long Persona 4/5 on Ao3 and someone said it was one of their favourite fics ever, so I've been clinging to that high for days XD Jan 15, 2021 17:10:01 GMT -4
Cedar: She is the cutest gecko and I love her ^_^ Oh nice! I am not surprised but those sorts of comments on your work are still awesome to get. Are you posting it as you're writing or did you finish it and then start posting it in increments? Jan 17, 2021 18:48:24 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: She sounds adorable and good :D Thank you! I wrote a good chunk of it before I started posting it, but I thought I'd be done by now so I'm trying to stay well ahead of what I post. I'm getting closer to the end, but now all the Big Drama is looming so it's Jan 18, 2021 4:22:33 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: exciting but also I need to tie everything together and this is like the most plot intensive thing I've ever done so it's a lot :P Jan 18, 2021 4:29:25 GMT -4
Cuppy/Wonders: So at the end of March all the Kingdom Hearts games are coming out for PC on the Epic Games Store, so if you're interested in trying any of my favourite series... :P Feb 11, 2021 16:18:26 GMT -4
