    Ji Ho plays ‘Grim Fandango’. It’s a game about the Dia de los Muertos:
    ‘Something's rotten in the land of the dead, and you're being played for a sucker. Meet Manny Calavera, travel agent at the Department of Death. He sells luxury packages to souls on their four-year journey to eternal rest. But there's trouble in paradise. Help Manny untangle himself from a conspiracy that threatens his very salvation.’ (says steam)

    It’s a masterpiece of a game. Check out on steam: Grim Fandango

    It’s already the last day of the festivities. Since they are very busy today, Ji Ho is packing the car (with the decorations and food for the party at the graveyard) in the morning. After the Diner closes this evening, they will leave.

    Ji Ho can’t get his brother out of his head. It must have been very important that he visited the diner. He never was able to leave the slums at Sulani where he died. He’ll discuss that with the others and Ms Coombes when he gets back home.
    703a5a535d7faa361aaea29b2de268dd16f8824c.jpg

    Going home also means he has to leave Luci. Which is breaking his heart too. He grew fond of him even they just spent a few days together.
    fd53e6b66cf3f19d0c8f3b1430589a169251cf42.jpg

    And he feels bad that he prejudiced Luci and was afraid of him because he eats strange things. Luci was nothing but quiet and friendly (kind of) and just a little bit scary. But he never did any harm. Luci and Horatio are kind to everyone and he can’t imagine that there are humans killed to feed Luci, right?
    Plus - he lives together with werewolves and vampires, who is he to judge others eating habits?
    5b23b090cc36ce4ed0a174c55ac804fae571ffe1.jpg

    And it felt good to give something back after all the help he received from Ms Coombes and the others at the Space Bar. He will miss Luci. He doesn’t even know if they will ever meet again after they left the limbo the ‘Diner de los Muertos’ was in :’(

    The whole Graveyard is decorated. It’s November 2nd, the main event of the Dia de los Muertos.
    bb8b3c4833cfdd9078aa72b727fafc2f56433d3b.jpg

    Ji Ho is the DJ and Luci is in charge of the bar.
    86e735898def1dc7ae7c3bd3e58a26ab222dcb15.jpg

    The guests are adviced to help themselves, if necessary ;)
    They invited even Mr Lum, the janitor! How sweet :3

    Everything was prepared in advance so they can all enjoy the festivities.
    Soundtrack on youtube:

    All Night Long - Lionel Ritchie

    Francine dragged Jeb to the graveyard, she even combed him and forced him to dress up properly.
    5b00f5a3e049d08eb1630783e9f6e1980dadbf6a.jpg

    He barely leaves his room these days. First person Jeb spotted was Giga. He didn’t know he would be here too. He wanted to go back home immediately but Francine urged him to stay.
    401a6080ae501133d8d70e72e0e5e227f89e5b47.jpg

    It’s embarrasing for Jeb to be here where everybody knows that he fell in love with Jack while dating Giga... Barfolomew thinks it’s best to give things some time. It will all be well. But Jeb is still not over it ^^’
    de1f1d8497f800487e694141a0d67b07b60622b2.jpg

    Meanwhile at the other end of the graveyard. Giga is crying. He too wasn’t aware that Jeb would be here and it hits him.
    20c4b642b7af171cfbb2d14cedaaf4ee72dc99b9.jpg

    But Ji Ho tells Giga that, after all the sad stories he’d heard at the Diner de los Muertos, one should be happy to find someone to love and that Giga should forgive Jeb before it’s too late.

    Kiyoshi: “Hey.”
    3c60b8ad4c1178976ccbe92a1089fc26cdb8fa1b.jpg

    Kiyoshi is here. He tells Jack, that today, since they are all covered in limbo, it is not necessary for them to hide!
    308fb7978b0e9bc8076256fa84d42fcacfc333c1.jpg

    Giga watches them and he ponders about Ji Ho’s words. Maybe he was right.
    Soundtrack on youtube: And we Danced - The Hooters

    Ah I’m so happy for them. After all they went through and all the things they may have to face in their future. They deserve a happy moment in time.
    c4c52b32d2693a9f85ad460baa7bab24a9c1ad7b.jpg

    Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.
    The festivities are over and they are tidying up before they return to San Myshuno.

    Ji Ho is tired. He was up all night.
    And even Luci seems to be sad that they’ll have to part soon.
    003e9580f1810fc402260234ef7a38fa04c600ee.jpg

    The Diner is now empty too. It looks so different.
    f1b401c5418dc5c873025f4ba7272a58c95d138b.jpg

    Horatio: “Ji Ho - you’ll have to leave soon. You must reach Copperdale before the magic fades.”
    Ji Ho: ”Oh ok...”
    f1d6b45d8727e2aa026b82f17f796485fdd57121.jpg

    Horatio: “And Ji Ho... I hate to ask you this - but you know how lost Luci is... we can’t leave him on his own and I can’t take him with me...”
    Ji Ho: “Ok! I’ll ask Barfolomew if it’s ok that Luci stays with us!”

    Ji Ho: “Thank you Barfolomew!” and to the others: ”Barfolomew says it’s ok!”
    That was easier than Horatio had expected ^^’
    5d9af794fb7a94a1bd29897cee9f8448764922f1.jpg

    Oh the colorful facade of the Diner already vanished!
    Time to say goodbye to Horatio.
    Horatio: “See you two next year!”
    Sure - if Luci hasn’t eaten Ji Ho until then...
    e42304db3083d71e7bedd481d0d60bf8c69bfb0a.jpg

    They’ll have to hurry to catch the last bus out of the limbo.
    There’s not much with ‘hurry’ when you’re with Luci hahaha

    And this is how Ji Ho and Luci left the Diner de los Muertos.

    And back again at the bus terminal in Del Sol Valley.
    e3e419847a378a1e694267c33802579694f50aa6.jpg

    I have the suspicion that Copperdale is closer to San Myshuno than to Del Sol Valley, but they say it’s the only connection to travel to and out of limbo. Don’t ask me ;)

    The bus driver looks a bit sad because the festivities are already over...
    ba707ff986f42739f698bd53d7d9adfd9dcabf7c.jpg

    Ji Ho: “Do not worry. I’ll stay by your side. And the others will like you too. Just please, do not eat them, ok?”
    Horatio packed the leftovers of the sweets from last night for them :3
    Luci looks a bit hungry, though - but he doesn't crave sweets as it seems.
    When was the last time Horatio fed him? ö.Ö'
    f59623ec36b89c925a4b78bc8ae3fcc7546e6081.jpg

    Back in Copperdale at the Space Bar.
    9848c51aa364ac16d803379ee02cc7ab790f9d74.jpg

    Here they are.
    22ee690e68599d7f20f1631eb9a3543ea030e314.jpg

    I really like the concept of the Space (Balls) Bar. When Ji Ho arrived a few months ago, he was the one who received help and shelter and now he’s at the point to help others.

    But what’s with their faces? ö.ö
    8a7ab455dd8fa432cd6f9080a9307ddda6801e19.jpg

    Giga: “Hey welcome! Ji Ho, you can bring Luci to Vlad’s room after you showered.”
    a66460f5992103598b74cef91f3a2d58a67440e1.jpg

    Jack: “No! I said I won’t allow it! We can’t give up Vlad and let someone else live in his room just like he never existed!”
    Barfolomew: “Jack! I already told you to put yourself together!”
    Oh my - they had an argument about Luci before they even arrived :(
    4754888775c5389163f312f435d00bdf3b1cd8b5.jpg

    They’ll have to remove the magic makeup before midnight to cut the last connections to the limbo they were in. So they went to the big (and ugly) bathroom in the basement.
    Ji Ho: “I’m sorry... when I arrived here, it was even worse. It will get better. I’m by your side, you know that, hm? No need to eat them, ok?”
    9c645ddb6e80aac295f08de9361f3ee330f002cc.jpg

    Uh - that was unexpected. Ji Ho usually doesn’t like to be touched because of his traumatic childhood. And Luci’s embrace feels so different from the hugs from Giga or Horatio. His pounding heart demands to hold on and give in to wherever this may lead but his head is spinning with memories of all the madness he had to endure or to witness at 'The House of the rising Sun' in the slums of Sulani. Eventually he let go of Luci. Because it was easier to let himself fall back down into the abyss than to cling on him to climb out. :’(
    4294fe60c0db8d659c2292c2f5b2c15b287c11ec.jpg

    It’s steamy...
    a923cde530fa428336bf433a09052a1ba098e166.jpg

    While Ji Ho and Luci shower, the others continue to argue about Luci.
    Jack: “What kind of thing even is Luci?”
    2d492bbc076003307ab8bc5c2ff64160da8a9be6.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Horatio sent me everthing we need to know. He thinks he’s a kind of ghoul or zombie ... and we shall feed him regularly. If not he will...”
    Oh no! Did Luci really eat Ji Ho because he wasn’t fed in time? ö.Ö

    They ran in the basement as fast as they could, just to find...
    19ab14b2766304686a29ffd03a6d8f9cea29cccc.jpg

    Giga: “Vlad?”
    Jack: “This is not Vlad! His hair is totally different!”
    Barfolomew: “Ji Ho! Omg is he dead?”
    48c58f095591b3943422ff5b44ef6cffd697ee16.jpg

    Giga: “If it’s Vlad, he must have the... you know...”
    ce718b1fcd9ca296e8266412e1f898590a385209.jpg

    Jack: “The scars!”
    (The scars Vlad got from his fight with Jack. When he stopped Vlad from killing the guy who wanted Ji Ho to work at the 'House of the rising Sun'.)
    59a0aa4a4ae8b03c3390c5f4be49715518d0c3be.jpg
    (Do vampires that turned into ghouls or zombies have a reflection in the mirror?)
    So Vlad was Luci all the time? But how is this possible? Where did Horatio find him? And why is he acting so strange?
    Hey, if you like, tell me in the comments or via PM if you had a suspicion that Vlad is Luci or not.
    And if yes, when it became obvious/suspicious for you.
    We thought it was, because of his eyes and the long black hair (and his name).
    I chose the name Luci because he came from hell -> Lucifer ;)

    After Ji Ho recovered from the shock, he took Luci to Vlad's room, he still has to care for him after all.
    441a4027c36e2c79617c31d87ac87da60b597ef3.jpg

    Ji Ho: “You don’t remember anything, do you? These are your clothes and this is your room, Vlad.”
    b1fa61111431cdca6705f090369608a6cfba21f5.jpg

    *sigh* “What crazy fate lead us here?... "
    c283ca0f63f1ccc6b7a6ff9795fe6c05d8ae03b6.jpg

    “... oh my god... I bathed you and dressed you... we shared one bed and we even had a moment in the bathroom a few minutes ago... better you’ll never remember this...”
    Giga: “A moment? So so... ^^’ But Jack... you are Vlad’s best friend. Now it’s up to you to care for him.”
    Jack: “Tch... this maybe Vlad’s body but this is not Vlad as we know him. Plus - if Vlad remembers, he will kill me if i did such things as bathing and dressing him. Let alone sleep with him!”
    Barfolomew: “He will kill Ji Ho too for this.”
    Jack: “Probably. But Ji Ho already did, so he can go on with it. One dead one is enough as it is.”
    Uh-oh. That are great prospects ö.ö
    9e8b981e27fa5a8987bbdc8aad7cba0aeb9a46d0.jpg

    Ji Ho zoned out. Still processing what happened the last days since he met Vlad at the Diner de los Muertos. He isn’t even aware that the others are here. “oh my god ... I bathed him ... “
    f89a3e20c96aa3eb98e9b4a407340b1bace6cfe5.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Giga, put Ji Ho to bed. He’s through. I’ll call Ms Coombes and Jack will have an eye on Vlad.”
    cfae4143929d60d8d605ae8b663e52ae2d78afe2.jpg

    Barfolomew: “We can’t risk him running free and eating us. Or worse - the neighbours! They were never happy with us living here - let’s not give them a reason to be upset... Maybe it's better to lock Vlad away - until we can be sure he does no harm?” (I think they’d be more than just a bit ‘upset’ Barfolomew...)
    Jack: “No! I was right beside him when he died - locked up in the dungeons... I will not let that happen ever again. I’ll switch to wolf - he won’t get past me.”
    Barfolomew: “I’ll take your word for it. So! Let’s get some sleep. We’ll meet in the morning to discuss our next steps... oh my - what a kerfuffle...”

    They finally get some sleep.

    Giga: “ So DEATH told us that Vlad went to hell. We don’t know why... Then Horatio found him, but only his body as it seems. Did they steal his body and revived him as a zombie or a ghoul? And is his soul still in hell?”

    Can Luci understand what they are saying? Or is he feeling through the bond that Ji Ho is needing him?

    they are finally quiet... *phew*

    They didn’t feed him since he left the Diner, right?

    He’s leaving! Is he now about to eat one of the neighbours because he can’t eat Ji Ho since the bond is so strong between them? And ofc he can’t eat Jack as he is currently a wolf.

    Let’s hope the car is not gone!
    But it’s cute that Luci/Vlad made the bed before he left to eat a neighbour

    They gathered in the yard. Jack only had one job...
    Barfolomew: “I swear, as soon as we’ve found Vlad, I’m gonna kick you out of your pants!”
    Jack: “But Giga already kicked me!”
    Barfolomew+Giga: “Shut up!”

    “VLAAAAAAD!!!”

    Ji Ho didn’t even put shoes on. He’s running to the town square where some people are already out and about. (When I spotted them, I thought ‘omg how are those townies dressed again!’ - but it was Kiyoshi!) And, as a little outtake: Ji Ho immediately fell in love with Jeb! Even though Kiyoshi is there! (’Woo’ is Ji Ho’s last name. In Korea the last name stands first: Woo Ji Ho).
    This is so cute that Kiyoshi and Jeb autonomously spend time together when I don’t play them!

    Ji Ho asked Jeb and Kiyoshi for help to find Vlad/Luci before he eats somebody...

    They ran back to the Space (Balls) Bar.
    There he is!

    Vlad didn’t eat a neighbour, he painted! *phew*
    (Let’s hope he didn’t paint and eat a neighbour Ö.ö)
    Giga: “But - what is this?”
    Barfolomew: “Looks like a scepter or a wand maybe?”
    (Editor’s note: We all know that Vlad likes painting. But he’s also really good at writing. He even earns money with writing. Why(!) is he painting mysterious riddle stuff instead of writing a proper note about what he wants to tell us?...*sigh*)

    Barfolomew: “As we are all awake now - thanks to Jack - *reproachful look*
    I suggest we meet at 7 o’clock. Ji Ho, get Vlad and yourself dressed. After that I’ll make breakfast and feed Luci. We might have forgotten about that yesterday...”
    Jack: “What does he even eat?”
    Barfolomew: “That’s none of your business.”

    Jack and Giga are left on the rooftop.
    c1342a65a887f2288cad35039bb481bfb7c29d6e.jpg

    Jack: “Aren’t you concerned about the bond between Vlad and Ji Ho? Vlad seems to suffer! He follows him everywhere and even feels the pain when Ji Ho is feeling bad!”
    dcdef244dedd82e987b754b4f6b98fd174d9d432.jpg

    “His whole current existence is revolving around Ji Ho! He can’t even sleep without him! It would be better if you claim Ji Ho and create a bond with him. A bond that protects Ji Ho from other vampires but isn’t that strong, you know? To protect Vlad.”
    Giga: “Jack, I know you just say this because you love Vlad. You suffered the most when he died. Otherwise I would kick you from the roof. Look, this isn’t just the bond speaking between Vlad and Ji Ho. There is more. There was even more before the bond was engaged. Vlad decided to die for Ji Ho before he claimed him. Their love is the only thing that keeps Vlad connected to us and this world - even without his soul. If you want to protect Vlad and if you want him back as a whole - you’ll have to support Ji Ho for whatever it takes, ok?”
    Jack: “hmpf ok...”
    Giga: “Good boy!”

    TMI

    078250308dec62cb84db226adc8c0930f1768952.jpg

    From oldest to youngest.

    Giga is the oldest and Jack the youngest.
    Jeb is the tallest and Ji Ho the shortest :3

    Jeb is taller than his Giigs but younger ;)
    Kiyoshi is taller and older than Jack,
    same for Vlad and Ji Ho.

    As they are in the same year at school, their Zodiac Signs reach from summer to summer. Giga/ Leo is August and Jack/Cancer is July in the following year.
    So Giga is almost a year older than Jack.

    I’ve been doing this for a while in my head and it makes me laugh a lot.
    Age hierachy is more common in korean or japanese culture. The oldest of the group is responsible for the younger ones and you can clearly see that in Giga’s behaviour. And it is so very obvious that Jack is the youngest!

    b39e6de0830f49dc437fa924e0d62a04814a897c.jpg

    Under the cut: The Zodiac
    ♌ ♍ ♐ ♒ ♊ ♋
    Giga/Leo:
    ‘They're delighted to embrace their royal status: Vivacious, theatrical, and passionate, Leos love to bask in the spotlight and celebrate themselves. These lions are natural leaders and they enjoy cultivating friendships and romances that are artistically and creatively inspired.’
    (This fits very well to Giga, as he is the leader and passionate about fashion and his online store ‘Stawberry Cake Fashion’.)

    Kiyoshi/Virgo:
    ‘Virgos are logical, practical, and systematic in their approach to life. This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn't afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice.‘
    (Ou this is so Kiyoshi and it will reveal in Kiyoshi’s story! - coming soon -)

    Vlad/Sagittarius:
    They have zero filters, which makes them spontaneous, rude, honest, hilarious and challenging. They’ll have said things to you which ~scorched~, but five minutes later, all is well again. Sagittarians are lively, passionate, smart and more philosophical than their clown-y energy may hint at. They love to feel free and resist rules, regulations, constraints and schedules. They just like doing what they do, when they wanna do it. They're born travellers, adventurers, explorers and free spirits.
    (Yes, Vlad can be quite rude. Philosophical matches with his writing passion. Haha challenging - the duel! And he’s honest. Hilarious is maybe a bit hidden because they have so much troubles these days.)

    Jeb/Aquarius
    Aquarians are very upfront people, and they don’t do shenanigans or shady business. They’ll tell you how it is and feel no two ways about it if you don’t like it. Some people find them aloof or cold, but they just keep their emotions more buttoned down than most.

    This sign is the like the "eccentric professor" of the zodiac. Thinking outside of the box? What box? They are innovative and unique, they can dream up schemes and ideas the rest of us simply cannot. They also often wear really out there clothes or have bizarre hair dos. In our society, this typically marks them out as the eccentric of the group.
    (There’s not much to add, that’s Jeb for me. Eccentric -> he used to wear a bag on his head...)

    Ji Ho /Gemini
    Geminis are flexible, extroverted, and clever, and there's never a boring moment while they're around. Their flaws include indecisiveness, impulsivity, unreliability, and nosiness, therefore don't disclose a Gemini your innermost deepest fears.
    (Ji Ho in two sentences, amazing)

    Jack/ Cancer
    Typical sun in Cancer traits include being nurturing, sensitive, compassionate, self-protective, security-seeking and offering, loving, and displaying a goofy, ingratiating sense of humor. These characteristics reflect themes covered by the Fourth House of Home Life, which Cancer rules.
    (Later in the Story Jack will develop more into this, as I already mentioned. He is a bit different from his adult character, because he is still so young).

    Ji Ho: “I’m going to dress you now, ok? This is so strange... I mean, we never were that close and I even was a bit afraid of you... please don’t kill me if you ever find out, ok?” (Oh - if Ji Ho only knew. They never told him what happened when he was under Genji’s spell after he got bitten by him...and that Vlad brought him back after he won the duel and even died for him) :’( Ok that Vlad died because of him, he overheard the other day... but he has no idea, why.
    0eae3771d6b0c92c63741e5b385d4ef77cd2d027.jpg

    Ji Ho: “Uhm - and then I would like to take a bath. Maybe you remember, I’m a mermaid so I need to stay hydrated (?) Plus I ran barefoot through the whole town to search for you - I feel a bit sticky though. But don’t be afraid, I won’t bathe you today since we did that yesterday, right? ^^’ ”
    7bdd43fea419773ba468a178faf38af90124da8b.jpg

    *sigh* here they are - Ji Ho, Vlad/Luci and their new strange relationship...
    dff8fbef8979e73cf827094f28ef75d9d1619879.jpg

    This is awkward... (Ji Ho also doesn’t know that Vlad already watched him in his bath. That was when Giga tricked them ^^’... Vlad found that was so not funny ö.ö)
    f8046552b456f3e2065701b460c5cd8e0c58b3a5.jpg

    Ji Ho: “I was so scared today. Please don’t run away again, ok? You might get killed when someone witnesses you eating Sims.”
    So we already went from ‘omgomg he probably eats humans!’ to ‘don't get caught’ - wow.
    d72751b724d8b9917232e4f20b9aaf4befbf6c55.jpg

    Ji Ho never knows what Vluci is up to. He tries to see him as the Luci that he was when they worked at the Diner de los Muertos. And not as the unapproachable, frightening Vlad.
    Ji Ho’s knees went weak - why does it feel so good to be held by him? But as Vluci brushed his lips over the crook of his neck and inhaled deep, he let go - reluctantly. Was he about to bite him? ö.ö (Ji Ho might not remember this, but we do! It could kill Vlad - again! - if he drank from him. And it would kill Ji Ho if he ‘only’ tried to eat him -.-)
    c0d67a2008f9cc6eb880646fb961249dbebac195.jpg
    'Whoa, here it comes, that funny feeling again
    Winding me up inside every time we touch
    Hey, I don't know Oh, tell me where to begin
    'Cause I never ever felt so much'

    Why can’t this be love? - Van Halen

    07 am
    They gathered in the Space Bar. Barf eventually fed Luci - that was about time!
    The breakfast table is set and they collected questions for the meeting.
    Jack is still upset that Luci seems to take Vlad's place.
    da69a2932311cd1eb83327b0d0ddd53fd7d8d680.jpg

    He’s really on the edge these days...
    dd37b68e5e8dc681a6c15b97df8a421adf05ca45.jpg

    Ji Ho looks at the whiteboard and is confused. What does ‘the Bond’ mean?
    (and who even wrote it down? Are they going to finally tell him what happened, when he was under the spell of Genji? That would make sense. He is not the absent minded, lost boy he was, before Vlad healed him so I think it’s a good idea.)
    They carried the easel down from the rooftop so Vluci can paint while they eat and hold their meeting. Hopefully he paints something more helpful...
    3b04d520f5527dfa32b1decb97924d860c9476bd.jpg

    First things first...
    Jack: “Barfolomew, we finally managed to earn the money to repair your holy Star War’s tent that we destroyed!”
    Giga: “Ji Ho earned the money - and you destroyed the tent!”
    (wow ö.ö That’s finally off the table! I can’t believe it!)
    Barfolomew: “Thank you guys! *tears up a bit* and you even payed back with Sabacc chips! You are the best!”
    bf78b58eaa96f78f11fabfb6366661aa7c69f7d2.jpg

    Ji Ho: “Uhm - before we go any further - there are a few important things we should consider putting on the list...”
    85dc2947c0f2df0b9b859cfd8396cd499e2def1c.jpg

    Ji Ho: “See, I had this crazy prophetic dream about Hell-ena, Minerva and Vlad...*tells about dream* and so I thought I could try to drag Vlad out of hell with my magic...”

    Jack: “Ji Ho...”
    e622fb323696d06d880ab86faff90ae9b4610e6b.jpg

    Jo Ho: “Well, it worked! ... kind of. I dragged someone out of hell, but as soon as I saw that it wasn’t Vlad I let go and he vanished again”.
    “What? You could have been killed!” “Omg Ji Ho!” “You should have told us!”
    Ji Ho: “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to awake false hopes if it didn’t work - and we were so busy. I’m so sorry. I won’t do that again!”
    a255c23edc3446cb0f48584c0f48ba1827aa8cc6.jpg

    Ji Ho: “And while I was working at the Diner de los Muertos - my dead brother visited and put this ghost doll and a seashell on the altar.”

    uff ... and then they discussed the other items on the list...
    e06f569e8b58c7e5c5b6c452c3a6a7491add22cb.jpg


    And then Barfolomew told Ji Ho about the bond: Due to some ancient vampire laws, Ji Ho unknowingly agreed to be a ‘vampire servant’ because he moved in a ‘vampire’s nest’ (the Space Bar, where the vampires Giga and Vlad live... (I know... -.-). Since neither Vlad nor Giga ‘claimed’ him (drank his blood), he was free for other vampires to make him ‘theirs’. So he got claimed by Genji, who put a spell on him to make him willing. That’s why he only has blurry memories of this time. Vlad challenged Genji for duel, won, claimed Ji Ho, drank his blood and cemented the bond. But mermaids blood is poisonous for Vampires (sun+salt=certain death). So Vlad died knowingly to save Ji Ho. (How exactly Genji survived drinking Ji Ho’s blood is not yet fully clarified. He told Ji Ho he had to prepare. And i fear Vlad had far too much of Ji Ho’s blood because he couldn’t control himself.)
    14a2c70319a8a978edccf22c6c8af5333f231281.jpg

    That was too much for Ji Ho...
    “Ji Ho! Wait!” “Let him go.”
    abc0b4031f3c06632a9f39d4375bfb8784be6cad.jpg

    Ji Ho: “Let me...”
    *sigh*
    1faef5385c8eab3af2a51b3fec008574196e45fb.jpg

    Giga: “Even though Vlad has no soul, it’s quite remarkable that he remembers that he can paint and he kind of ‘remembered’ this wand he painted. And he seems to remember Ji Ho. This is so strange.”
    Barfolomew: “I think it’s a kind of ‘muscle memory'.”
    Jack: “For the painting - ok, but what has 'muscle memory' to do with his feelings for Ji Ho?”
    Barfolomew: “The heart is a muscle.”
    adccfdd44cf7f576ba4fd0692ba84ff615e3b528.jpg

    The results of the meeting with a convincing plan for the next steps:

    Barfolomew:
    - Jack stays wolf because he’s the only one able to stop Vluci if he tries to eat somebody
    - Giga and I will check Vlad’s coffin in Guidry’s Office, to find out what happened to his body and why he is in this state
    - I asked for help and someone will come over to look after you, especially after Jack... until Giga and I are back from San Myshuno
    - Ji Ho, Jack, Vluci and -> him will head for Plumbite Pier so Ji Ho can try his hell-drag again to see if it’s possible to get Vlad’s soul back. Your supernatural sitter is able to do average magic, so you should be safe
    - and the paintings... *looks at Vluci’s canvas and sighs* well... let him just paint until we get something useful
    - for the rest: we will see if we find a solution later

    ok Boys - we start right after school, take Vluci with you, he already missed a lot - let’s do this!
    716f4fb57cc13aec98ead6bd9b69e37c4d67c280.jpg

    Jack: “After school?! I won’t go to school as wolf!”
    Giga: “It doesn’t matter if Kiyoshi sees you like this - you don’t stand a chance anyway. Everybody wants him ;p”
    aaarrrggh and he can’t say anything because he promised!

    It feels so surreal to see them all together back at school.
    4b8de284080d3ff7d4e0e2bfa844f5b391441b8b.jpg

    Ms Coombes is in between shock and relief. Vlad is her favourite.
    And poor Jack is in a paranoid state, he always doublechecks if Kiyoshi is somewhere near so he can hide from him. He doesn’t want Kiyoshi to see him as wolf ever again!
    b26e1cb3bc1859a287e1b08c248b2520e8430060.jpg

    Morgan is so happy to see Vlad again, she can’t take her eyes off him.
    e69981e95fccbf6ca0331fc8ff76ecd260b02a60.jpg

    They gather in the art classroom during lunchbreak to let Vluci paint.
    Giga: “So Jack - I watched you and Kiyoshi on Dia de los Muertos... you’re on his hook now too?”
    Jack: “What? No!”
    Ji Ho: “Don’t get involved to deep. I saw him on a date with Jeb ...”
    Giga: ”What?”
    “...when I was searching for Luci. I mean we all have a crush on Kiyoshi, he’s just out of this world... (*Vluci growles*) but he never dates anyone for longer. Just don’t get hurt.”

    *social bunny buzz*
    2af8e540291e74cb8b0cf5b099b3faf0b4e5d7bb.jpg

    Jack: “Ah - you are right... seems they are at the Bubble Tea right now together...” ö.ö,
    Giga: “What?” ò.ó
    6ad6c05a0c9ad20a7fa509499aff7e923eba951d.jpg

    wow Jeb looks so good on the Social Bunny Photo! Even with his messy hair...
    Will Giigs loose his Jebs to Kiyoshi?
    Or is Kiyoshi just comforting Jeb? I mean, look at him. He still hasn’t combed his hair and wears his worn out clothes. He clearly is not over his Giigs yet.
    And is Kiyoshi even messing around with others? What kind of demon is he? And was he telling the truth to Jack, that there are no others?

    Jack growls.
    (I told them to just stand there, but Jack looks as if he’s about to kill someone. ö.ö)

    Jack: “What?”
    56c646d9100d927d541888ee1877da929d40aef1.jpg

    Giga: “You know how Jeb is. All helpful and caring. When he saw you so sad and wounded after Vlad died, he couldn’t help but to fall in love with you!”
    25a1fec75b1078fc225d552731d58f58e86211c6.jpg

    Giga: “Yeah you! You and your puppy eyes!”
    ef950ebfbad1cbd27724d8d2dda326a2f09a766b.jpg
    Yeah Giga, very mature... just like Barfolomew said the other day hahaha

    As the youngest it’s up to Ji Ho and Jack to load up the truck so Barfolomew and Giga can leave for San Myshuno to investigate what happened to Vlad’s body.
    Ji Ho: “I wonder who our magical overseer will be? Maybe Jeb’s grandmother?”
    dc518b769bd7679190f8c8cfebf2c7c3b8e2b36e.jpg

    *Jack runs* Why oh why is Kiyoshi seeing him again(!) smelly (from the rain) and ‘wolfy’? Why is he even here?
    babf8c482d04c487d9b0c479f4dd5cf2b6e0d21b.jpg

    Oh no! Kiyoshi is following him! He’s coming down the stairs!
    f57fef29faa402b6876efebd3303d2e06ed3a80a.jpg

    He still smells of wet dog but that’s all he can do for now ö.ö’

    “Jack, we go round in circles. I want us to move on - go deeper - go beyond.
    I don’t want to have secrets anymore from you. I want you as you are. As a wolf and as a sim - and with your past. And I want you to want me as I am - no matter what I am or what I did.
    There’s no need to be ashame or afraid or jealous - or to lie.
    Do you think we can go there? Can you trust me so I can trust you?”
    “...uh...”
    “Say it. Can you?”
    “...mhm...”
    “Is that a yes?”
    *nods*
    “Ok. I'll leave you now so you can change back. But this is the last time. You acting this stupid because of me has to stop. We meet upstairs.”
    cbb7b7f2d55c1c422962fdfc6a114850b7180664.jpg

    Come as you are, as you were
    As I want you to be
    As a friend, as a friend
    As an old enemy

    Take your time, hurry up
    Choice is yours, don't be late
    Take a rest as a friend
    As an old
    Memoria, memoria

    Come As You Are - Nirvana

    Seems the grace period is over now for Jack...
    9b950cf0e913a075e015b2a0f28df3457773d99e.jpg

    Jack changed to wolf just as Kiyoshi commanded...
    cd3f824e31070dfb7c9326e9a99a9cb657397f61.jpg

    Jack knows he has no choice than to obey to Kiyoshi for what ever he asks from him. Being with Kiyoshi feels like his whole existence gets sucked into a singularity just waiting for his command to expand again to bow to his will and there’s nothing he can do.
    e10afbb65666ee3e8a109f4ac5b83da7410d4fd1.jpg
    Kiyoshi is the ever enticing moonlight he is drawn toward to - like a moth. Even though he may just be a blazing flame about to incinerate him. There’s no way out.

    If there only was someone he could talk to without breaking his vow to keep the secret that they are together...

    Barfolomew: “Boys, Kiyoshi here will be your overseer while Giga and I are in San Myshuno. He will accompany you while Ji Ho tries to pull Vlad’s soul out of hell - again - and gives backup if necessary.”
    (Poor Jack can’t believe it... Kiyoshi will be here while he is forced to stay in wolf to keep Vluci under control... what a nightmare...)
    5f1e299d6d952f185197ba41a15a7bf270398712.jpg

    Barfolomew gives Kiyoshi a short overview (Kiyoshi’s face haha).
    The others can’t believe it. Kiyoshi of all sims... Ji Ho because he has a crush on him, Giga because he has a crush on him AND he’s upset because he caught him with Jeb ... and I can’t make out what’s going on with Vluci, he does his stare - but does he even look grumpier? Who knows. ^^’
    2e0d2d7ebeafd699b0f869da4d6f2d2a0e96fd3d.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Nice whiteboard... ;)
    Barfolomew: “Yeah, Jack liked it so much but all out of sudden he threw it out...”
    Kiyoshi: “Is that so...”
    7fbc515be614dce721819ec409b3aede2aae8ea0.jpg

    Barfolomew gives Kiyoshi last instructions before they finally leave.
    Barfolomew: “Ok, Luci is fed, this should do until I’m back. The food for you and the boys is in the fridge. Be careful they do their homework and let Luci paint. Don’t let them stay up too long ... oh - and you can sleep in Jack’s room as he is in Vlad’s room with Ji Ho to watch over Luci. Have an extra eye on Jack though.”
    Kiyoshi: “It’s my pleasure.”
    b2450e1a7af2c9945ee9cf12321a348af0a75234.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Thank you, Kiyoshi. Take care - good luck!”
    Minerva will be there for them too :3

    They were almost out of town as Barfolomew pulled the car aside.
    In front of the Burrow. Where Jeb lives...
    Giga: “What are we doing here?”
    82ff7c9a6efe4b748fc988628214b15f1820562a.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Get out of the car.”
    Giga: “hmpf.”
    7d7675b207a5263f2bdc93483b34559a9bea3c65.jpg

    Barfolomew: “In case you forgot: We are about to rescue Vlad - our friend -
    I have neither the time nor the patience to deal with you and your selfish behaviour! Come on now!”
    72fe9b18759f9745ef7de9bed7322ae8489b62b3.jpg

    Giga followed Barfolomew hesistantly. How will Francine react since Jeb and he broke up? She was so happy when they dated (and Jeb finally took that bag off his head...)
    da53a11628360fced82ef57e61216ae6199fa256.jpg

    Francine: “MewMew!” (She’s known him since he was a little pup ;)
    Barfolomew: “Fran - ciiiine!”
    Francine: “Giga, good to see you! I’ll call Jeb. I’m sure he can find the remnants of magic around Vlad’s coffin. He can sense vestigia better than I ever could. He’s a natural.”
    980731ebb61eeafc79a5777092c9b5aae15acbdc.jpg
    From the Follypedia: ‘ Vestigium (pl. Vestigia) is the imprint magic leaves on physical objects or places. Someone who encounters vestigia may experience smells, tastes, sounds, and feelings related to the original event.’

    from the ‘Rivers of London’ books by Ben Aaronovich (highly recommended!)

    baecb80fe3dfbc2f527671c83a01672643f6c7d0.jpg

    Everyone (except Jules, Francine's boyfriend) agrees, that Jeb is the hottest witch in Copperdale.
    8e1a441e07c50e4fb48978037160f9bff18a35a7.jpg

    It would be a greater achievement though if he and his grandmother Francine weren't the only witches in Copperdale. ;)

    Barfolomew: “Wow, look Giga! Jeb bulked up!”
    Francine: “Haha you noticed it ^^’ Yeah he was loosing his mind after he messed up his life so I put him in charge of the kettle. Moving this monstrum around gives you quite a boost!”

    Jeb came over and Giga got shy! omg how cute ^^’
    08d1316b5e441991056c3d044fb1cf75dfbab478.jpg

    Francine: “Jeb, accompany Barfolomew and Giga to San Myshuno. You’ll need to check Vlad’s coffin for vestigia.”
    Jeb: “What? Me? Now?”
    687a75816e8af944bb9096be6073ceb81fa57a17.jpg

    Francine whispers (a bit too loud) : “And here *hands him a condom*. You might need this *winks* ”
    Jeb: “...?”
    1e2af17b79cfffc4225e365c99624ebd211baa3f.jpg

    Ji Ho calls (perfect timing!) - he misses them already. aouw
    Giga: “Yes...we’re fine! Take care!” ö.ö’
    e62e9cd4fa2249f9ee2142a7ca8af6694d28c3fe.jpg

    Ready to go! Since Jeb is so bulky now, Giga is crammed in between him and the huge center console Barfolomew installed to make the interior of the truck look like a spaceship. Giga is now all surrounded by metal, muscles and the scent of fire, herbs and Jeb. And despite the chilling autumn temperatures it’s slowly getting hot in here. Why was it they broke up again? Oh! - Jack and his puppy eyes!
    a0b883a197cc6742517c544c75bb3e3e96c82985.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Thanks for coming with us, Jeb. I had no idea whom else i could ask. It’s not like everyone could sense vestigia.”
    ea83d2679ae5fbaceb00c1d0d67a402095c314c1.jpg

    Jeb: “Ah it’s my pleasure! Of course I do anything to help get Vlad back! And it’s a great opportunity to learn more about vestigia.”
    321968e3b604f55642a7060c76562db3caeec122.jpg


    Jeb sensed that Giga is uncomfortable and moved closer to the door to give him more space.
    Barfolomew noticed it: “Doesn’t it hurt with the speakers pushing in your side?”
    Jeb: “I’m fine.”
    f57a1611c2035da588eeeecbd63dfc539ec6e63b.jpg

    Why is Jeb so jebish? A wave of despair washes through Giigs. He wants Jeb back so bad and has no idea how to accomplish it. And even if, Giga has the feeling they rushed it. He has his traumatic past like all the boys at the Space (Balls) Bar and Jeb should know about it before they maybe start all over again. If Jeb still wants him then...)
    d8789e0e1ecbdf0a541aa890005f9c925011ac85.jpg

    And so they finally left Copperdale! The truck bumped through the many potholes along the road and Giga was pushed and jolted against Jeb and his broad chest and his strong arms... torture!

    Barfolomew, Giga and Jeb reached San Myshuno. Since it’s late, Jeb is in need of a few ingredients for his magic and they are short on money, Barfolomew decided to visit the STaCKs.
    a7e42ec5454932b0db679dec59621ab0d6202488.jpg

    The STaCKs are run by robots and it’s quite dangerous for ‘meatbags’ (how they call ‘organics’) - especially at night. So Giga and Jeb complained...
    22d02d29371717a79fa85494faad58946fd0fd72.jpg

    Barfolomew: “So tell me - where do you think you can go dressed like this in San Myshuno? Giga wears the same leisure suit for days now and you haven’t even combed your hair! All that’s missing is that stupid bag on your head and you’d be the same miserable Jeb from a few months before! I wouldn’t even wanted to be seen with you two on a cattle market! Anyway - I have a friend here where we can stay over night and right around the corner is ‘the Clinic’ where we can buy your magic stuff.”
    72d746398b1beae21be9bed57576aea999365912.jpg

    Barfolomew: “The doctor should have anything you need.”
    f850f0d3151fe1737b8a3a383ac3a1834f032e8b.jpg

    Then Barfolomew spotted his friend:
    “Hey athena! What are you doing at the Clinic? Circuits overheated?”
    d81765cff4a21e5b0b7ad03da3258418a1b8c07e.jpg

    “Oh - hey Barfolomew! Ah no - the rain, you know. A few drops - and tchwiingg -.- but it’s alright now, we can go up as soon as you’re finished here”
    dc296f765f79f296de9d8d40cd3b222a5d4f5f66.jpg

    The doctor handed Jeb his purchases and looked him deep in the eyes.
    “Really nice - think it over ;)
    8436cd814de6aba8209a203534bf3e7ba8155b07.jpg

    What does the Doctor mean?
    What happened before - Behind the scenes:

    Jeb really was so amazed by the STaCKS and the Clinic. A few times i watched him how he stood there and looked around in in awe.
    I could have used these pictures for the story instead of the outtakes but Jeb came from school and before I could dress him for the story, he ran around and was happily exploring the lot! <3
    6c1d3ecf6fc9cf20b5bedde76386393cdb601657.jpg

    Doctor: “Hey - you have nice eyes! What about I give you a pair of new ones? I can always use a good pair of young eyes.”
    Jeb: “uh - thank you, but - no thanks ö.ö’ “
    8dfa2900eda5dddb8caf88d4fe113ad2a6715a1d.jpg

    The doctor has a always a few ‘meatbags’ in stock in case he needs some spare parts for his customers.

    athena lives in the STaCKS with her girlfriend LY and their robo cat FEL-1x
    (she has quite a touching story in my game :))

    Giga was a bit cowed by the STaCKS but Jeb just stood there and was amazed :3
    b03110a543773d29ba3dc3c83a5d5eda9e7688c9.jpg

    His new gained muscles seem to give him some confidence, maybe this helps him when he tries to win his Giigs back.
    57a9e637e317fc311dd77e6985b980b4dda37a24.jpg


    For unknown reasons Barfolomew wanted to shoot swimwear photos for Giga's online store.
    It felt strange though, but they played along Ö.ö
    (I’m sure he hopes to bring them together again to end this madness ;)
    (Jeb is almost twice as broad now as Giga, thanks to Francine and the kettle hahaha)
    (sounds a bit like the story of Obelix and how he became so strong because of a kettle too! :D )

    athena suggested to pick her LY up from work and then go to the cantina for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (or three), before heading for their apartment. Jeb has never been to San Myshuno before and even though Giga is cleaning Guidry’s office here, he hadn’t seen much of the city either.
    6edac975d9c63fbf43d196cce621f614d773666c.jpg

    Next to LY’s shop is a pizza stand where they can ‘absorb nourishments’, as athena stated.
    Ah - the view! They are looking forward to dine out while looking over the sparkling city below!
    (yeah, nice try, ‘half a portion Giigs’ ;))
    da4dd9002a1c04f3d91f177ba6962de6508a1626.jpg

    As if Genji knew that they are about to shop ingredients for a spell! scary ö.Ö
    This message came just as they left the Clinic...
    7ff9bf98453abbdf2188b0289caab712047ec3c9.jpg

    Oh no - LY’s shop is in the sewers of the STaCKS... well, that’s a view indeed - let alone the smell! (but it is not as worse as you’d imagine. Since there are no humans - there is no human waste down here).
    a3604ebcb70f4de5a0b79bbb38b159332054dd0d.jpg

    athena: “Your boyfriend is very hot!”
    Giga: “Oh *awkward laugh* he is not my boyfriend.”
    athena: “Why not? Don’t you think he’s hot? And he seems reliable and caring. He reminds me of my sweet LY...ahh a buff chassis is the best to let your circuits hum, am I right?” *nudges Giga’s arm twice and winks*
    ac4fba5145ae6262aa64d5494b3bf1ab1f762e8f.jpg

    athena: “...But you two seem compatible though. You should lay cables to him before he plugs in with someone else and installes a LAN!”
    Giga: “Oh ... haha - ok I’ll think about it...” ^^’
    2c36bd35ce36034c24fc9bf8c5a0710015e52d14.jpg

    Meanwhile Jeb has other issues...
    “Some nice eyes you have there...”
    a2ec571b6de699c68cf3c258d6597439a0eae94a.jpg

    They went for a second slice of pizza - it was a draining day...
    5638225c916a4293a3678b57db894e2cd7880692.jpg

    They seem to have fun despite the location haha (plus Jeb still has his own eyes!)
    a9963cd4283f8b224a31d3a6a55705432a3b61d5.jpg

    And as soon as LY closed her shop they were ready to go to the cantina. But athena suggested that Giga and Jeb should look a bit more ‘appealing’ - since norobot here likes ‘meatbags’ very much.
    d9889f6b627a388257e94f7de733d2bb3418a388.jpg

    LY has a few leftover clothes from the Clinic (don’t ask ö.ö) in her storage and Giga picked a few for Jeb and himself. (And what’s with Barfolomew?...)
    d7b4e1c6d832f794a86db9674a9f625b1467d3e2.jpg

    A werewolf, a vampire and a witch walk into the cantina...

    Werewolf: “Dogs not allowed? Allright boys, let’s leave.”

    Barbot: “No! Wait! I meant: Don’t forget to close the door so no prowling humans can come in!”

    Jeb: “Sure, I can fix that!”

    Barfolomew: “Jeb is quite hot when he does his magic, huh?”
    909034f7ddb608b9e805ae067dc4ed48b96ba2ed.jpg


    Giga: “Please stop it. What could someone like Jeb probably want from a messed up guy like me? This has no future anyway and I’m sick of being chewed up and spit out again.” (this is a little spoiler to the upcoming background story of Giga ö.ö)

    They danced. It turned out to be fun after all ^^'
    91eeebdc16fe2b5dfcc0cb2f09f26aa81f3de0e5.jpg

    Ah they finally can enjoy the view!
    7a7d34052059672625d416dac063eeb6d5baa7fa.jpg

    It’s getting late and the boys are tired.
    232269d7060157ca227473bffed6a252f519b409.jpg

    LY and athena take them to their apartment. Jeb still has his potion to brew for tomorrow.
    Barfolomew stays for another round despite his fatigue, since there’s not often the opportunity for him to go out (because he has to care for the boys). Even though they are old enough to stay alone, it got worse since Ji Ho got bitten and Vlad died. He will never forgive himself for letting this happen. And so he orders another Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster...
    c6d8dfa963f111dd48e83c32c3bb78fea546333d.jpg

    athena: “Whew Jeb! You’re a dance machine! Just like my little LY here, huh?”
    12e1fba2b31cffa8644be238b4a9ceee119f1f95.jpg

    Giga is so tired and cold and the jacket he picked for Jeb looks so fluffy and inviting... if he’d put his freezing hands between Jeb’s chest and the fake fur lining and lay’d his head on Jeb’s broad shoulder...
    dfbfae566df573f0d8c14319b6d428d22a2c4fdd.jpg
    ... and then he’d scent him and he’d feel secure and content.
    After all these years being alone and then being the oldest and responsible for the others, Jeb was the first person in his whole live where he could let himself go, someone he could lean on, and depend on. But he knows that, with his past, there is no future for him and Jeb. :’(

    1fb027bfa5a2387645932667534abb4fed042a57.jpg

    Since Giga is so tired, they sent him to the bathroom first. LY ís setting up the beds and Jeb is brewing the potion for the next day (when they try to find out what happened to Vlad’s body at Guidry’s Office).
    dcb8070fab1c0ef345e9951c3e1b7c3cd3a5323d.jpg

    They also picked some leftover clothes from the Clinic for the night. Giga doesn’t care about fashion anymore - he’s already half asleep.
    3978212c2ead11f72e3fde6b4418cdde2a747b00.jpg

    athena: “Jeb, you can go to the bathroom now, we will watch over your brew.”
    Jeb: "..."
    athena: “Don’t worry, FEL-1x is heat resistant ^w^ “
    aef4585f03a15d651e7bb39698fe5e1dbbbe55f1.jpg

    Jeb was just about to leave for the bathroom when his phone buzzed.
    98720076ff880c698a0fd8a441264aba73e50773.jpg

    Jeb whispers: “Kiyoshi - wait a sec, I’ll go outside to talk.”
    28cfcaa7ce61a155b931abae1d3b312a16cc4d54.jpg

    Giga was still awake and overheard it. Kiyoshi calls Jeb... Jeb was on a date with Kiyoshi the other day -.-
    What athena said in the sewers came to his mind. That he should ‘lay cables’ with Jeb before someone else does...Giga knows, Jeb is better with anyone else than him - but it still hurts.

    Jeb: “Ok. I’m outside now. Giga was already asleep and I don’t wanted to wake him...” (the rest of the conversation is a spoiler and will be revealed when we switch to Kiyoshi and the others who were about to pull Vlad’s soul out of hell at the same time.)
    0eb8762e406cf912064ecc0949daeb1092c9231f.jpg

    My hands are tied
    My body bruised,
    he got me with
    Nothing to win and
    Nothing left to lose

    And you give yourself away

    With Or Without You - U2

    a35859c50bdb470a62e9518decbd8662f58668ae.jpg

    When Jeb came back from the bathroom, he saw that Giga was so tired, he fell asleep with his glasses on.
    And maybe, by taking them off, Jeb stroke tenderly over Giga’s cheek. Brushing a strand of his red hair aside that fell over his beautiful face.

    e6d1994d033c28e42a94b45a6ee9bb8ce49dacea.jpg

    Jeb noticed the desire in Giga’s eyes when he looked at him at the Burrow or down on the street. He hopes this will fade as time goes by. And he swore to himself that he won’t hurt Giga again. If this only can be done by avoiding him - he will. If they stayed together, the greatest pain for Giga would be, to eventually find out what a loser Jeb really is and why he had to hide himself under that bag...
    0bcc99db102209591206791e3de7c6352e56eacf.jpg


    Giga is - by far - the brightest star in his clouded sky. He should never have tried to pull him down to his mud. But he couldn’t resist. And after thinking it over and over again, he came to the conclusion that his subconscious forced the breakup with falling in love with Jack in front of Giga.
    Because else he never would have been able to let him go. :’(
    a7f2fa2c4fd40744e4d04f243c58132d2d83fca2.jpg

    But... but how Jeb looks at his Giigs in the third picture :’(
    (no poses used, I never do)

    LY and athena spent the night on their balcony, watching romance series :3
    4cd8cec2b9b946d5ecc5ab046015cf134e624cb0.jpg

    athena: “Let’s wake them up. The poor boys. What fate will lie ahead of them?
    We can consider ourselves fortunate, my dear LY.”
    LY nods.

    Even though FEL-1x doesn’t need to sleep either, he spent the night with ‘the boys’. ^w^

    And so they left the STaCKS early next morning. It was raining again.
    The doctor will have a busy day at the Clinic.
    57118114a098bb50964046883ef0ca473f20e9bc.jpg

    They can just walk over to the next building where Bofrost Skyway with Guidry’s Office lies on top.
    efe6ee634c53cc1fafbff07aa7ae7660f8f6a7da.jpg

    Bofrost Skyway - where Ms Coombes and Barfolomew stored the coffin with Vlad’s dead body in Guidry’s Office.
    7d027217e5e7769e8082cf1f23835afb99e6d36c.jpg

    Giga: “The door is open!”

    a3892831b37b2a16e12d4f62897c84667dd449fa.jpg

    Barfolomew: “What happened here? GUIDRY?”
    6507c4727e1918bc148a0761afd59bbe309f6854.jpg

    Oh no! There was a fire!
    Giga: “GUIDRY? - Where can he be?”
    Barfolmew: “He wasn’t there either when Ms Coombes and I brought Vlad...
    she told me she sent him on a job...but that was months ago...”

    be921cf11c072970a80d197f3939dd1a8fc10bb4.jpg

    Barfolomew: “There are other spells that could create a copy of Vlad’s body. We have to be sure and take a look... stand back. *sighs deeply* ”
    This is not easy for Barfolomew :,(
    And how Jeb looks at poor Giigs. After Jack, Giga was the closest to Vlad.
    80d8b4ec53401c1b9eddac26d4b3e672fae84aa8.jpg

    But the Coffin is empty. So it is Vlad’s body that returned as Luci to the Space (Balls) Bar, without his soul.
    38908b83b5169daed89227ac714073e989a920e5.jpg



    Jeb: “Death Flower, Death Metal ... this is a potion to bring a dead body back to ‘life’. Which one exactly I can’t tell. As there are ingredients that got burned.“
    2ba321426b1d63e50a93cd7a3e83705ac892734f.jpg

    “... my guess is, that whoever tried to revive Vlad’s body with this potion was no spellcaster. Otherwise he could have cast the spell directly - without any potion, right?”
    3bace104047c3e05bc0091a1b06fc5f27e3d345a.jpg

    I don’t know if it was a good idea to take Giga with them.
    He seems so lost and shocked. With all the madness happening all the time around them, there is not really the time left to contemplate.
    But here and now it hits Giga like a hammer what happened to Vlad :,(

    Jeb: “But if it was no spellcaster, where did the fire come from? There was a fight going on here, that’s for sure. Vlad was not as compliant as the offender hoped for...”
    Barfolomew: “And eventually Vlad overcame his offender and escaped. Then Horatio found him near the Diner de los Muertos and recruited him as a waiter...”
    Giga: “Where he met Ji Ho who brought him back home - oh my!”
    3eefcad707c0c67eff40b493d2170331213f0d2e.jpg

    So what is Vlad’s body now? A zombie? Or a ghul? Or Vlad’s raw nature driven by his instincts? Is he dangerous? And what does he eat?
    It seems a bit odd that Vlad/Luci went such a long way to the Diner, but I think since both - Luci and the Diner - were in limbo, the Diner was like a beacon who guided him the way.
    711d7c5e1943cc6754ca88be86734cf2cfd3957e.jpg

    Jeb swallows down the potion he brewed last night.
    It helps him to detect the vestigium and protects from any flashbacks of the spell or curses that might be left over.
    64b3346bf82919ebd4ac1e6a3c391c84095a6da2.pnj

    (Giga thinks Jeb is so cool :3 )
    4d5fb26cbd00ff458d11dce51983a86d560a8472.jpg

    Jeb: “Ok! Let’s do this!”
    73d60adccfa64a9cc779598ba72bad6bf4c322cd.jpg

    And Jeb casts the spell to detect the vestigium that reveals the remnants of the happenings.

    bfb58a73019fd253437953dcec6a2e163f2e53c7.jpg

    Giga: “Barfolomew was so right! Jeb is hot when he does his magic!”
    c98baa038af2bfbca6e949e028a9d6dc570aeee9.jpg

    Giga: “Oops - did I say that out loud? ^^’ “
    Barfolomew looks so fed up with their shenanigans...
    929f8ef15994576dcd7b992f6c2ec29a3a3b5916.jpg

    There it is! Above the lid of Vlad's coffin manifests a yellow-ish light and a wand.
    Barfolomew: “But this is the wand Vluci painted! What else do you sense?”
    d68bd865c940956e0eeff5619aadcd436dc57395.jpg

    Jeb: “Excruciating love, devouring jealousy, painful loss...”
    b77fb11286ef0d72342a1b005e10f7996a6a0c49.jpg

    Barfolomew: “You sure this is not about you two?”
    63d590ba3c9423efd3e5cbd2a0f42e0e3b02079a.jpg

    Jeb: “No! These are the strong feelings of the person who cast the magic here.”
    24e1585fc9444769d75c7bc68574202e2d410a3a.jpg

    Jeb: “It is overwhelming... the emotions are so strong! They lasted here at Vlads coffin for over a week! Well, that was when Ji Ho met Vlad at the Diner de los Muertos... maybe even longer. But who could it be?”
    7cb3503f706d2cc3e0e0e07168020a2e01dec91c.jpg

    Barfolomew: “Ok...someone who loved Vlad, was jealous and lost him...”
    421b36b6123bd0dd41911aced9e7aa40e718a5d2.jpg

    “MORGAN FYRES!!!”
    Giga: “She hated even me for hanging around with Vlad!”
    Jeb: “And she fought the other girls who wanted him!”
    Giga: “And she couldn’t take her eyes of him when she saw him back at school!”
    1bd0d04b87d17893e2c9edcdba9263fe60119eb6.jpg

    Jeb: “I’ll call the others to be careful! ... *tuuuuut*... Hey Kiyoshi! ...”
    8e01f95616f1cf76a168b2c35679b315b468f9ef.jpg

    Of course Jeb calls his Kiyoshi...
    ... nobody calls Giga ...
    Barfolomew: “Lets lock up and head back home.”

    But aren’t we a bit too quick with the accusations?
    If the offender was no spellcaster - then why the wand?
    4a31b865e34a41b9dfccd564842c116cff03cef4.jpg

    And then Jeb’s grandmother Francine called... she wants to marry her Jules!
    Will there really be a marriage in my game? ö.ö
    Can't remember I ever had one in all those years ^^'. The only married couple in my 'played sims' list are Jeb's (premade) parents, but I don't really play them.

    edited October 2023
    After we followed Barfolomew, Giga and Jeb to San Myshuno (where they tried to find out what happened to Vlad’s body after he died), we jump back to yesterday, a little while after they left and see what Kiyoshi, Ji Ho, Jack and Vluci are up to. PLAN says: pull Vlad’s soul out of hell (again)...
    5a513293a30498b0540e7b5040cd8b5a42b5ae88.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Uhm Ji Ho... why did you make Vlad wear a pullover? He can’t feel the cold...”
    Jack shakes his head almost unnoticeably at Kiyoshi.
    For Ji Ho, Luci is no dead body or cold blooded vampire...

    e611e3956b46b07e83ed998abf9c60899e803532.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Well then, here’s our equipment. Let’s get armed up!”
    The Four Horsemen and their pets (Jack is his own pet ;).
    (Vluci refused to line up in the correct order because he won’t leave Ji Ho’s side.)
    b2f73d08472858987ef701be2077495e1eb768b9.jpg

    The Four Horsemen (of the Apocalypse)
    (because we don’t go with less than that ;)
    the horseman with the white horse: Ji Ho
    the horseman with the red horse: Vlad
    the horseman with the black horse: Kiyoshi
    the horseman with the pale horse: Jack

    Kiyoshi/Lothario because of his reputation of being flirty...
    Ji Ho/Squishy is from ‘To The Beautiful You’ Drama, where the second lead called the (fe)male lead ‘Squishy’ because (s)he was so soft. Sulli, the actress, died. I love(d) her very much.
    Jack/Moonwalker refers to Skywalker/Star Wars
    Vluci/Hellhound because his soul was/is in hell

    We all know that... (at least every MMORPG player ;)
    edcd1b19d7c84f08c612abff274bf53616654769.jpg

    Jack: “I got pretty good boots with matching stats for Ji Ho from the last run. I can’t wear boots anyway.”
    Ji Ho: “Thank you Jack!”
    a671cd81b7ea56fa0ed41610b70a186b6c2bee02.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Let’s take a look!”
    60403b593b41e3b88b18833097647497d5857217.jpg


    Ji Ho is so happy with his new boots ^w^
    b06fcd4d04c9e8fd54998aaa35ffff2a2bc00756.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “So - we still have a lootbox here from the last run. Let’s open it!”
    cdfce2e1f66dc19c228fabe1beee1d951853e42f.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Ok, Ji Ho already got his boots ... I suggest Vlad gets the bracers and Jack the ring, since he has none.
    Ji Ho lend Vlad a hand with his new bracers. gz!”
    (Vlad/Luci only allows Ji Ho to touch him.)

    fda86f386bc59635786ac316274b7410166d305c.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Give me your paw, Jack.”
    32eec247685a5b0e4e787a599495b42985703548.jpg

    Kiyoshi: “Now you’re mine!”
    Ji Ho: “Ooh! Sparkling!”
    fb68225f2227d3684979b409feafd0e6464d96f5.jpg

    One ring to rule them all him,
    one ring to find them him,
    One ring to bring them all him
    and in the darkness bind them him.

    Am I the only one who is concerned about the relationship between Jack and Kiyoshi? Why had Jack to promise he won’t tell anybody about them? And why is Kiyoshi so dominating? And then this whole demon/Yokai thing ö.ö
    bb2ca140d5b5189140d4519417d62813624893e0.jpg

    Ji Ho: “Haha our Kiyoshi really has a groom in every harbor!”

    Ji Ho: “Hey Giga! ... Yes, we will leave soon ... ok! Tell Jeb he has aquired a rival! haha ... ” (refering to this call Giga received at the Burrow. ^^’ )
    Sometimes they surely wish the old Ji Ho back who didn’t talk :,D

    Ji Ho: “Hey Kiyoshi - cool pet! Is this a familiar? Looks a bit like Al’ar from World of Warcraft!”
    Kiyoshi: “Yes - are you familiar with familiars?”
    Ji Ho: “Oh just a bit. Jeb told me about them.”

    Kiyoshi: “But you are right. Al’ar here is my temporary familiar until I get old enough and mated with my fated familiar in a few weeks!”

    Kiyoshi: “This is a wonderful connection on one side - but frightening on the other. If it doesn't work and he leaves me, or one of us dies, we can get serioulsly hurt or even die!”

    Kiyoshi: “But most times it works just fine - as I've heard :)
    Ji Ho: “Seems like there will be another rival soon, Jack ^^’“
    Kiyoshi chuckles...
