Jack munched his food faster than the others and took a look around.
Jack: “It’s beautiful though. I’m glad we went out tonight.”
It would be better if Kiyoshi was still with him. He left without a word with his strange sister.
Does he have trouble with the council?
Jack tried to contact Kiyoshi but he got no answer.
Vlad is so cute when he laughs
They bought matching Festival Clothes and Ji Ho wanted a friend for his Simmie at home.
But the machine said no... (he seems to have no luck with any kind of these machines ^^’)
Vlad
Poor Giigs thought of his Jebs and had a moment of sadness :,(
It was far after midnight when they headed back to the tavern.
Why does Jack look so small in this pic?
Omg they look like Kili and Tauriel from ‘The Hobbit’!
‘She...she is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream. Do you think she could have loved me?’
Outtakes
Vlad brushes a snowflake from Ji Ho’s beautiful face...
Ji Ho is worried because the bond drags Vlad and him together. He knows that Vlad loves him and it must be hard for him to endure that Ji Ho wants to be around him all the time even though he does not love Vlad - but Luci. After Ji Ho used the bond to call Vlad for help, it got even worse. The bond wants them to get physical ö.ö They hugged - twice - at the snow festival. Even though they never really talked to each other or touched (only when Vlad claimed Ji Ho and when they tightened the bond).
Giga: “That’s nothing to worry about. The Bond needs to get charged. After such an extreme strain even more. That can be done in different ways. Usually with the love between the two bonded. Weaker bonds between vampires and their servants by drinking their servant’s blood. But that’s impossible in your case because it would kill Vlad. Since you don’t love Vlad, the only thing left is physical contact.”
Jack: “But don’t worry. Vlad likes it! Look, he didn’t even complain when I kissed him when we rehearsed. And? Did he complain after you tightened the bond?”
Ji Ho: “Uhm - no?”
Jack: “See! He’s quite a cuddler!”
(Jack’s logic is brain twisting... and Vlad did complain when Jack kissed him! omg)
Vlad is determined that the next book he’s going to read will be ‘1000 ways to kill your best friend’... (of course he overheard it - as always)
When they finally fell asleep (!) Vlad went over to bring Ji Ho his new Simmi figure. (Vlad often gives Ji Ho secretly presents because he knows Ji Ho would feel uncomfortable if he would give them to him openly. The Ewok on Ji Ho’s bed is a present from Vlad too.)
After all that happened Ji Ho worries about him and his feelings...
And since Kiyoshi burned the mixture, he can’t even bring Luci back for Ji Ho to comfort him.
TMI: Vlad got Yamachan Simmi first ö.ö
So he bought another one instead...
Poor Ji Ho. He evolved new fear thanks to Yamachan’s Party ;-;

They had started to clean the house. Next morning they were about to leave Mount Komorebi.
The others are tired and Giga has no excuse anymore to not read what Jeb had written...
This is the beginning of the Background stories of Giga, Jack, Kiyoshi and Jeb.
Dear Giigs, Ji Ho, Vlad and Jack.
Our friendship meant so much to me and I’m sorry I’m about to destroy it now.
But I couldn’t go on like this - hiding the shameful truth about me. I’m sorry.
Two years ago:
I was 16 and not the Jeb that you know now.
Rebellous and eager to prove myself - since I was the only witch (beside my grandmother Francine) in my family.
One day I happened to overhear a discussion between Francine and Ms Ngyen (Dtui).
They were talking about the Council and that they were expanding their tests on cowplants as weapons against supernaturals in an abandoned miltary base in StrangerVille.
(This is inspired by the history of Moonwood Mill. You can read it -> here)
Dtui: “... last night they kidnapped two supernatural students to test their augmented cowplants! But since it’s a council facility we can’t act. They already installed anti magic devices and it’s impossible to break in into a secured military base...”
I was about to explode. What was this resistance against the Council good for when our hands were tied anyway!
Francine: “Oh gods - when I imagine they are just the age of my little Jeb!”
I couldn’t keep my feet still and was determined to rescue them - no matter the cost.
The same night I ran away from home and headed for StrangerVille.
TMI: I can’t belive we finally got there!
But there are things that had to be told first and even for me there are parts I didn’t know yet ö.ö
And 16 year old Jeb is so cute - I can’t!
Saiwa kept on reading - in disbelief.
It took me almost two days to reach StrangerVille (I hitchhiked).
Since I had no place to go anyway and slept a lot during the rides, I went for the side streets of Strangerville with their long opening hours (for the more cautious people who only crawl out at night) to start my search immediately.
I’ve already lost too much time. What might those two kids already have to endure?
After I spent a few hours in the bookstore to gather information about the military base, I went over to the internet cafe.
The rest of the night I spent researching and sat opposite of a strange guy. We started to chat carefully but eventually he told me that his organisation knew too of the two students and were about to rescue them! I wasn’t alone! There were people actually doing someting!
Enrico - that was his name - and I doubled our efforts during the next day, while the rest of his organisation gathered information around the military base within the town.
We lived in the run down strange Trailer Park not far from the miltary base.
When we eventually gathered enough information and after I was lucky to find a hidden unsecured ventilation shaft in the blueprints of the base (a member of the organisation obtained them from an old construction worker of the base who investigates the cases of his co workers whom all had died due to unexplained reasons ö.ö') we made a plan.
Then I finally met the rest of the organisation: Aleki 🐸🐸🐸🐸, the owner of the curiosity stand.
This night I saw Military Base Area 42 for the first time.
We planned our break in for the following night...
It's breaking Giigs heart but he kept on reading. Poor Jeb.
It was the night of our break in. When we were sneaking along the fence, I took a look inside.
Portable cooler, campfire, candles on bottles. Were they chatting and laughing here while those kids were suffering just a few steps away?
Enrico: “Don’t judge them. Turning a blind eye on the grievances of this world keeps the most people sane. Think of soldiers or butchers. They are doing the dirty jobs for our comfort. Not everyone is as crazy as us to fight against the circumstances we live in. They might be even happy and proud. Help to keep the supes under control.”
I am so glad I had met those two men.
We eventually found the secret ventilation shaft down to the laboratory where the kids were kept.
Aleki: “If anything goes wrong - you run. Everyone is on his own then. Promise me.”
Jeb: “I promise.”
Aleki: “Behind this door the kids are kept. I’m going to hack the door code now.”
Even though we made sure that we picked a time where none of the scientists is on the corridors, one of them decided he had to go to the restroom - unscheduled...
Enrico: “RUN!!!”
Felix: “Hey!”
And I ran...
Enrico and Aleki got cought by the police (blessing in disguise not by the council!). Due to their long police files of crazy ‘offenses’, like glueing themselves on the entrance door of the ‘The ······ Lab’ or unauthorised demonstrations against the military, they were set free on probation after two months in jail, because they thought it was just another silly offense and no act against the council.
Francine told me, that after our break in, the security for the kids was aggravated. I can only imagine what they had to go through in addition after our deed...
I was so ashamed and rueful that, from that day on, I started to wear that bag on my head. Not only had I made everything worse for the two kids, I even dragged two innocent men into my abyss of thoughtless and stupid actions.
I shouldn’t have approached you in the first place and think it could all be forgotten.
(Editor’s Note: Ms Coombes - spinning her threads - told Ji Ho to join school activities. What he did. And there he had met Jeb and Kiyoshi! Jeb told Ji Ho once, how he had felt when he met him and what made him aproach Ji Ho.)
I’m sorry I lied to you and caused you so much trouble and harm.
Giigs, please forget about me. I’m a nobody.
What also happened two years ago around the same time at that Military Base...
- he woke up on this examination bed a few minutes ago
- he still feels dizzy from the narcotics
- he tried to open the door but it was locked
All he remembers is, that a white van had stopped by and he had been kidnapped.
While exploring the room he found a pile of documents.
Most of them with the header:
Prescott Labs
Strangerville
(Editors Note: Prescott? Like the Prescott Prescotts from Copperdale? ö.ö)
Then he heard the door open and slam shut again and a zombie attacked him!
A zombie with pointy teeth! A zombie-vampire?
Zombie-Vampire: “Why did you kidnap me?!”
Chubby Boy: “I didn’t! I’ve been kidnapped too! But how is it possible that zombies can speak?”
Zombie-Vampire: “Are you stupid? That’s my cosplay! There’s no such thing as zombies! I’ve been kidnapped on my way to the Geek Con!”
Jack: “You’re pretty cool then, huh? By the way: my name is Jack. And you are?”
Zombie Vampire: “Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath. This means: the red beauty who walks the night shadows.”
Jack: “Is this your D&D name?”
Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath: “No. I’m of dark elvish descent. The other half is vampire.”
(There is no such thing as zombies but dark elf vampires? Ö.ö)
Jack: “Your name is too complicated and long. Let’s see...You are a geek and you bite ... hmmm ... Oh! I have it! I’ll call you Giga Byte!”
Giga Byte: “Gods! You are so annoying! I hate you from the dephts of my black soul!”
Since their phone signals are disturbed and they somehow got strapped from their magic abilities, it got boring after a while and they chatted again.
Jack: “What could they possibly want from us? I have nothing and no one who would pay ransom money for me.”
Giga: “This is a high tech laboratory and we are supernaturals! They even have anti magic devices! And you think they’d kidnapped us for money?”
Jack: “Omg! You’re such an annoying know-it-all! I really hope we’ll never meet again when this is over!”
Giga: “If we should ever meet again I’m going to eat your stupid little brain!”
Jack: “I’d like to see you try finding it with your silly rotten pale eyes! :P ”
And this is how Giga and Jack became best friends forever...
And then the door opened and the lab staff said: “Follow me - and no fuss. Your abilities are useless here.”
Jack: “Oh there are bars! Thank the maker! Then it’s like shark cage diving, right? They can’t reach us!”
Giga: “You are really one of a kind...It’s just to get them accustumed to our smell. That’s how they train them to attack werewolves and vampires.”
Jack: “Oh... but why do they gather on my side?”
Giga: “Where shall I start? You are chubbier, weaker, you have less stringy muscles and I’m too pretty to be eaten! Omg - I can’t watch this. Step back!”
Aouw Giga protecting little Jack (he was 16 then and Giga 17). That’s when it must have started that Giga became the reluctant leader of them :,(
After a while they had been taken to another room. During the next days they spent a few hours every day with the cowplants. Giga and Jack did not get any food. Only water.
Jack: “Even though you are half elvish, you don’t have a reflection in the mirror... that’s good, so I can’t look under your skirt, right?”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack: “These mirrors are amazing! I really can’t see through! Do you think they watch us all the time?”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack: “I really want to change my clothes. I can’t even shift in my wolf. Then I could groom myself...”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack is like a little puppy. He distracted them from their fears and kept the spirits up - and even though Giga didn’t show it, he appreciated it.
He didn’t tell Jack, but he was really worried of the things to come.
Lab Staff is collecting the essences of Giga and Jack from the cowplants for further experiments and studies to modify the cowplants.
The next day - after they had been eaten and spit out by the cowplants again - Giga didn’t even wake up anymore and Jack is completely broken.
(That’s what Giga was talking about to Barfolomew at the Stacks! That Jeb would not want a guy like him - omg.)
Jack: “Saiwa - please wake up. I won’t call you silly names again and I will always listen to what you say. Just please - wake up.”
Giga: “Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath died in this lab, Jack. Nobody is going to call me by this name again. This tainted and befouled I can’t carry a noble name like this. Call me what ever you want. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
And just a little later Jack began to tremble.
Giga: “Jack! What’s wrong?”
Jack: “I - I can’t breathe anymore. *Gasps for air* Are they cutting us now from air and food? *gasps* “
Giga: “No, Jack. I can breathe just fine. Try to calm down.”
‘Try to calm down’ never works and Jack was about to collapse.
(This is how Jack developed his panic from being locked up!)
Oh gods, Jack :,(
But then...
Voice 1: “Behind this door the kids are kept. I’m going to hack the door code now.”
Voice 2: “RUN!!!”
Lab Staff: “Hey!”
(That was when Jeb and his friends were trying to rescue ‘the Kids’!)
Giga: “Did you hear that? Someone was trying to rescue us!”
Jack: “But they failed!”
Giga: “But they know that we are kept here! They will try again! There is hope, Jack! Stay strong! You promised to listen what I say! ^^ “
If Jeb only knew how he helped them in their darkest hour :,(
Still two years ago - Ito Residence
The same night Jeb and his friends failed with their rescue and Giga and Jack heard the sirens, Mr Ito got note from the Prescott Lab in Strangerville.
Mr Ito is the head of the laboratory and fired the Lab Staff in charge, who left his workplace, immediately. (lol if it wasn’t for him, Jeb and his friends could have successfully rescued Giga and Jack and he got fired for leaving his place...)
His son is 17 now and old enough to fulfill his duty.
Since many generations the Ito family proceeds with fervor against supernaturals.
Mr Ito even invented the anti magic device!
Mr Ito: “I want you to work at the laboratory together with the new lab staff. Have an eye on her and report anything suspicious to me.”
(Mrs Ito is not happy about this, but she would never speak up.)
Kiyoshi: “You will be proud of me, father.”
Ms Ngyen: “You can count on me Mr Ito. We will weed out those creatures from this world.”
Mr Ito: “Very well then.”
The former, undependable Lab Staff had to be superseded asap, so Dtui and Kiyoshi reached Area 42 only a few hours later.
Kiyoshi wanted to take a look at these foul creatures. His father did not allow him near them in the past so he hadn’t the opportunity to face them often.
Jack and Giga were sleeping and Kiyoshi was not afraid at all, since he fully trusts the anti magic devices his father had invented.
And then Kiyoshi saw Jack for the first time.
A bolt had hit him right in his chest.
Kiyoshi: “Aaaargh!”
Kiyoshi: “This filthy beast attacked me! How is this possible with the anti magic devices? Did someone turn them off?”
Dtui: “The devices work just fine. And he is a - sleeping - werewolf, they can’t cast ‘spells’ like this, even when they are awake.”
Kiyoshi: “We should kill them immediatly! They are more dangerous than expected!”
Dtui: “If we kill them now - we kill two of them. But if we succeed with the augmented cowplants - we will weed them from this world. All of them.”
Dtui: “Let’s check the CCTV and see how dangerous they are. And - just in case - we will numb them. It’s better anyway, if someone tries to rescue them again. They won’t be able to run away.”
This is very clever of Dtui, because it prevents Giga and Jack from additional mental damage :,(
Kiyoshi wanted to know how Dtui was able to resist the ‘attack’.
Dtui: “There are many ways to protect yourself from attacks and tricks on your mind and body. Best thing to start with is meditation. A clear mind, mindfulness, awareness - these things are incredibly valuable in any situation.”
Kiyoshi: “Meditation? Isn’t this magic?”
Dtui: “No ^^. Rather the opposite. Magic tricks you - meditation leads you to you inner self. To awareness. To trust your very own perception. To look behind the things that are blinding you.”
The following days Kiyoshi spent meditating. And watching the foul creatures.
And he watched the CCTV. Nothing his father told him about them was true.
Could they really be fake 25/7? Everytime he looked at the werewolf his chest ached though.
And then it was time for their first test they had to observe.
Jack could keep himself barely on his feet because of the narcotics.
Dtui is closing her eyes, she can’t watch this :,(
Kiyoshi: “Stop it!”
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
Kiyoshi: “Ms Ngyen. I can’t do this. Report me to the council.”
Dtui: “I won’t do that. You can leave, if you like. I won’t tell anyone.”
Kiyoshi: “I want this to end. I want to help them. But how can I be sure I do the right thing?”
Dtui: “Does it feel wrong to help them?”
Kiyoshi: “No.”
Dtui: “This isn’t a decision to make easily and no one can help you with that. You are about to act against the Council. You will lose your home, your family and maybe even your life. Take your time. I will be with you - whatever you decide.”
Kiyoshi went to the desert. He sat there the whole night and mused about his possibilities. But with all the things he saw and learned at the laboratory, there was only one way left to go for him. There was no turning back anymore.
And so he went back and stood at the same place as Jeb and his friends a few days ago when they planned their break in.
Kiyoshi: “I’m up for it. I will pay the debts of my family for doing wrong and causing so much pain. Let’s invert the mutations of the cowplants so they can do no harm anymore and destroy all the documents and logs.”
The Lab Staff, who had been fired, hadn’t left the Military Base. He felt treated unfairly and watched Dtui and Kiyoshi to find anything useful that would get him his job back. Seems he was lucky...
(TMI: The name of this Sim is -> Felix ^^’ ‘felix’ is latin and means ‘lucky’).
Dtui: “I’ll call my partner to get Giga and Jack out of here. She will be here in a few hours.”
And at the same time Felix called the council. A race against time had started and Dtui and Kiyoshi didn’t even now they were participants...
Dtui’s partner arrived! Just when they were about to set the cowplants free.
Dtui: “Kiyoshi, this is my fated mate, Rita. When I first saw her, it hit me like a bolt in my chest.”
Rita: “300 million volt ^^ “
Kiyoshi: “... ö.Ö’ ...”
It had hit him like a bolt in his chest when he first saw the werewolf...
Kiyoshi packed Giga and Jack on the truck. They were still so numb, they didn’t see him clear.
TMI: It’s still the same blanket Jack had been lying on when / after Vlad died and when they drove him to the temple to recover
Rita: “Take care. I love you.”
Dtui: “I know.”
And then Rita had left with Jack and Giga.
TMI: Ms Rita Coombes is the future teacher of the boys and will later be involved in the rescue of Ji Ho and Vlad too
(later in time, their background stories have already been told at the beginning of this story.)
The council arrived just a little later. Dtui got arrested immediately. And Felix got his job back...
Councillor: “Kiyoshi, get in the car. I’ll drive you home.”
Kiyoshi: “No. I won’t be part of the actions of the Council anymore.”
Councillor: “You know there’s only one way to part with the council.”
Kiyoshi: “Yes.”
The Councillor is sure Mr Ito will kill him for bringing him those news...
(Editor’s Note: Their faces! I’m always amazed how well fantastic they play along! Without poses! I didn’t have to do anything.)
And this is how Kiyoshi’s spiritual journey had begun.
It is inspired by ‘The Fool’s Journey’ described in the Tarot.
And I’ll never get over how handsome he is for being a premade sim ^^
Councillor: “Good morning! This is CBC News.
We are live at the Council’s High Court!
In about five minutes the execution of two traitors is going to occur.
They pleaded themselves guilty of high treason. Sadly one of them is Kiyoshi Ito, son of our valued councillor Mr Ito.”
Councillor: “Mr Ito. How could it come this far? Your son wasn’t bewitched and acted on his own free will against the council. He confessed everything. Any comments?”
Mr Ito: “I don’t have a son anymore and i will prove to the council that I entirely approve their verdict!”
Councillor: “I’ll hold you by your word, Mr Ito. Now - I see the executioner has stacked the logs neatly, the anti magic devices are at full load output - we can look forward to a nice, smooth execution!”
Councillor: “And here they come! The foul witch and her henchman! The Council is going to make an example here today. Everyone should know what happens when one acts against the Council!”
Councillor: “Mr Ito was speaking no empty words - he himself lights the pyre of his putrid son.”
Councillor: “Very well prepared, executioner! He is truely a master of his trade! The fire burns quick and bright!
... uhm ... I’m not sure what’s happening at the moment... the flames can’t touch them!”
Councillor: “The fires are about to extinguish by themselves! This can’t be done by magic! The anti magic devices are at full power!”
Councillor: “They are leaving! No one is stopping them! I can’t move! I can’t.... chrglchrrr!”
And then the broadcast ended... ö.Ö
This was a black day for the council. Not only had the son of a valued council member betrayed them. They had either to declare that their praised anti magic devices are worthlesss or a wonder had happened to save Dtui and Kiyoshi.
Dtui and Kiyoshi had left quiet and peaceful.
The council had lost many followers and supporters after this broadcast.
Many just supported the council out of fear.
They overthought this after they’d seen that is wasn’t impossible to escape the grasp of the council.
How they survived:
Dtui had decided she was too young to die and touched the ley lines.
(And no proper witch let’s herself get burned on a pyre!)
(wikipedia: ley lines
a supposed straight line connecting three or more prehistoric or ancient sites, sometimes regarded as the line of a former track and associated by some with lines of energy and other paranormal phenomena.)
As fortune would have it, there even was a conjunction of major lines under the high court!
There are always some deities hanging around when a sacrifice is offered.
And so Dtui made a deal with Kōjin - the god of the hearth and the kitchen.
She promised that Kiyoshi and her would build a temple for Kōjin and serve him.
And this is how Dtui and Kiyoshi ended up at the temple as fire Yōkai.
The council raids the temple every few weeks, but they never find anything suspicious.
They also put Sebastian in charge to observe Kiyoshi - futile.
It’s safer, though, no one knows that Kiyoshi and Dtui are demons so the council has no additional reason to be after them.
They live quietly so they can act in secret and people started to think that the council maybe is not always right and true with their actions.
(Another reason why Kiyoshi insisted to date Jack in secret was that, thanks to Dtui’s and Kiyoshi’s spectacular escape from the pyre, no one took any interest in what happened to Jack and Giga after they vanished from the lab. It’s safer for them if the council does not have them on their radar.)
Dtui spotted Kiyoshi’s scary sister during the execution! ö.Ö’
We are still 2 years ago in their background stories.
After we accompanied Dtui and Kiyoshi to their execution yesterday - we are going to look what happened to Jack and Giga after Ms Coombes rescued them from the laboratory.
Giga: “Wake up, Jack.”
It’s cold in Moonwood Mill! And they are so hungry.
Ms Coombes: “Giga, Jack - this is Noxeema. She will give you some clothes and then we can eat!”
Noxeema: “I’m sure we’ll find something for you.”
Giga: “Are these all your clothes?”
Noxeema: “Uhm - yes. The manager scolds me all the time. They take too much space and I don’t wear most of them anyway.”
Giga: “Why don’t you sell them?”
Noxeema: “I don’t know how and I don’t have time between my shows and rehearsals and dance lessons :,( “
Giga: “I’m good with computers. I could maybe code an online shop and help you?”
Noxeema: “Oh - aren’t you the sweetest thing! We need a name though... hmmm...”
Giga: “What about Strawberry Cake Fashion?”
Noxeema: *claps hands* “That’s marvellous!”
And this is how Giga started with his and Noxeema’s online shop:
Strawberry Cake Fashion!
Noxeema is inspired by Noxeema Jackson from the movie ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything - Julie Newmar’.
Noxeema is played by Wesley Snipes in the movie and in my game by Wesley Kareem (who also plays Vlad’s first love, Wesley ^^’), whom is inspired by Wesley Snipes ^^’
(Who is in my top 5 list of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen )
Patrick Swayze played Vida!
Then I'm-a tell ya like this, and I'm-a tell ya this way
My body's beautiful, that's all I'm sayin'
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes
You're beautiful, too, just realize this
Can't you see the beauty in me?
Open up your heart and set your mind free
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Express yourself every day
And when you got joy on the inside it shows on the out
Be confident and you're beautiful without a doubt
You're absolutely gorgeous, don't ya know?
So you got the body beautiful glow
Noxeema: “Don’t you find anything you like?”
Giga: “I’m not sure...”
And then Giga told Noxeema what had happened to them and how much he hates himself now and how much he abhors his filthy body after the cowplants had eaten them and spit them out.
Noxeema: “How about being someone else instead - until you are ready to deal with it?
Good friends of me once said:
Carol Ann: "I do not think of you as a man and I do not think of you as a woman. I think of you as an angel."
Vida: "I think that's healthy!"
(this is an original quote from the movie)
And this is how Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath finally became the Giga Byte we met at the very beginning of the story!
Knowing this adds another pint of sadness to Giga’s relationship with Jeb. Because just when Giga was about to open up to Jeb and changed back to his real self and maybe wanted to work things up together with Jeb - Jeb had a crush on Jack and they broke up :,(
(Giga didn’t want to be fake to Jeb and started to show his true self and after they broke up, Giga thought it was because of him. That Jeb didn’t like him as he really was.
And when it got serious between them, Jeb thought he wasn’t good enough for Giga because he messed up with the rescue... and he even doesn’t know that it had been Giga and Jack who were held captive there! - omg)
But it maybe was for the best. After all we know now about their past in the laboratory, they’ll need to take their time and think it over if there is any chance at all that they can be together again...
And maybe Noxeema was Jack’s very first crush!
Which is funny because Wesley, who plays Noxeema, was also Vlad’s first love!
Jack grabbed two slices of pizza. After their traumatizing time at the laboratory, where they had nothing to eat for days (only the cake from the cowplants...), Jack developed a bunch of fears and panics and strange behaviours.
A few of them we already know.
His paranoia and jealousy and his fear of being locked up.
Additional he doesn’t want to be chubby anymore to be unattractive to cowplants and other things who maybe want to eat him.
But on the other hand his fear of not getting enough to eat... They resolved this by taking long walks with him in his wolf.
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
And then Noxeema entered the stage!
First song is: Drink it from The Boyz
(Noxeema sings the original version, lyrics are translated from Korean)
My thirst is only filled with you
Can't take it no more
For the first and last, quickly, before the sun rises
Drink it, get drunk for me, tonight
Uh, beg forgiveness
In the night when I stab my heart and hide
With just the two of us
Feel my breath on your neck
After the concert they were allowed to sit at the same table as Barfolomew!
Ms Coombes: “Do you still own that bar in Copperdale?”
Barfolomew: “Sure.”
Ms Coombes: “Any spare rooms there?”
Barfolomew: “Sure!”
And this is how Giga and Jack ended up at the Space (Balls) Bar & Grill (and now ‘& Residence’)
The ingame photos we took:
Outtakes: The manager was not satisfied with the soundcheck and argues with LY (Athena was there too but she had short-circuits all the time due to the snow...)
This is the last part of ‘The Story of Kiyoshi and Dtui’ (two years ago)
Dtui and Kiyoshi had risen from the ashes like a phoenix - stronger, smarter and more powerful.
But Kiyoshi’s first months at the temple had been very hard for him.
For the first seventeen years of his life he’d been raised in the beliefs of the Council and now he had lost his home and his family (and almost his life).
His whole life until now had been a lie.
The guilt had been eating him up.
And Dtui had been full time busy with keeping him stable.
He had so much to learn.
And the studies and his duties at the temple distracted him and kept him from overthinking too much.
There was a whole new fascinating universe to discover he barely ever heard of before!
And then there was this subliminal longing for this werewolf.
Could it really be possible that he was his fated mate?
Like Dtui and Ms Coombes had implied?
What crazy fate thinks it’s funny to make up a pairing like the two of them?
So in addition he started to study werewolves in his free time.
And what it takes to be mated to one...
And additional to all this studies he had always been the best student of his year at school. He really gave himself no time to breathe...
Kiyoshi waited for almost two years before he made his first move on Jack.
Jack’s zodiac sign is cancer, so his birthday is between end of june to end of july. And on august 7th (i checked my tumblr archives lol) Kiyoshi asked Ji Ho if he can take Jack to the prom! Just a few days/weeks after Jack’s 18th birthday!
Kiyoshi was just another premade then and neither part of the household nor was it planned to add him to the story.
(And I learned about their zodiac signs in November ^^’)
(crazy ö.ö)
So now we know:
- why he is so dominant in his relationship to Jack
(because he prepares to become Jack’s Alpha. Even if it’s not his nature.
But after all Jack went through plus the damage he took from the laboratory plus his puppy nature make Jack a omega through and through. He needs protection and someone to look after him - and a strong hand...)
- why they date in secret
(because the Council is regularly raiding the temple and sent Sebastian to spy Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi does not want the Council to be overly interested in the boys to not put them in jeopardy.
Plus the council is not aware that it had been Saiwa and Jack they had kidnapped and tortured in the lab. Kiyoshi does not want to draw the council’s attention to them again.
This counts for Vlad too. Kiyoshi seemed to know about Vlad and his connection to the Council and that they were about to kill him earlier.
Plus Kiyoshi feels guilty. He fears if Jack ever finds out about Kiyoshi’s family and that they are involved in the Council’s machinations, Jack would turn his back on him.
- why he pretends to be interested in other guys and girls (see above)
This is the last part of ‘The Story of Jeb’ (two years ago)
After he ran away from the laboratory where he failed to rescue the kids that had been held captive there, Francine urged him to come back home.
He did - reluctantly.
(He was only 16 then and had nowhere else to go anyway...)
He refused to live in the house together with the rest of the family, though and moved to the shed and put that bag on his had - he was so ashamed and felt so guilty.
(It looks so different from how we know his room almost two years later. After he had met Ji Ho and Giga. So Ji Ho really brought back the light in Jeb’s life, like Jeb confessed to Ji Ho the other day at school.)
Minerva (Ms Coombes) and Francine knew that it was useless to tell him that his actions, as silly as they were, helped to rescue the kids (he never knew that it had been Jack and Giga).
In his state he was in then, he might have thought they just tell this to him to make him feel better.
(You possibly experienced this yourself when trying to give advice to a friend - it’s useless until they are ready for it. Frustrating, right?)
At the wall behind my psychiatrist’s reception desk is a writing:
- change is a door that can only be opened from the inside -
And it was frustrating - the most for Francine. Being so powerful, and at the same time unable to help her grandchild, hit her hard.
But she had faith and trusted in destiny, in life and in Jeb.
Jeb has it’s own pace to deal with things and he will grow stronger and prosper once he resolved it.
My thoughts on this:
I’m sure Frodo would never have thrown the ring into the fires of mount doom if the eagles had flewn him there in the beginning, because else he never had experienced the danger of the ring and why it needs to be destroyed.
And Harry had never fought this eagerly for Hogwarts if he never experienced the hell at Dursleys.
And Ji Ho had maybe never become a part of the boys life if Ms Coombes had forced them to live together at the Space Bar.
Haha and(!) Giga had never grewn fond of that little annoying werewolf!
You’ll never know what the stuff you are going through is good for in the end!
Therefore some (wise or stupid) people say:
I would go through it again - because it lead me here.
So they found together through their experiences and hardships and this glued them together. They just know that they can depend on each other and trust each other.
TMI: In the beginning Ms Coombes allowed Ji Ho to sleep in the storage of the school until Jack and Vlad became suspicious and chased after him. While running away Ji Ho stumbled into Giga and he took him to the Space Bar
After we learned about their background stories, we return to here and now at Mount Komorebi, when they just finished reading Jeb’s Story.
Giga told Ji Ho his and Jack’s Story (Vlad already knew about it).
None of them knows that Kiyoshi was there too.
They don’t know how to deal with it. Giga went into their room and cried for hours and Jack followed to comfort him.
Ji Ho and Vlad keep themselves busy. They don’t talk to each other anyway, so they try to wrap their thoughts around of what they heard.
It was planned to leave Mount Komorebi today but they stayed awake the whole night to read Jeb’s Story so they were tired. Ji Ho hesitates to enter their room. He doesn’t want to disturb Giga and Jack. It must be so hard for them.
So he followed Vlad upstairs. Vlad is alone in the top bedroom anyway since Kiyoshi and Jeb left.
Like so often, when Jack is worried, he lies on the floor in his wolf.
He used the lavender oil on Gigas pillow, so at least he can sleep a bit.
Jack didn’t sleep and recalls their captivity at the laboratory. He avoided this for a very long time...
...
Jack: “Giga, wake up! I remember something!”
Giga: “ . . . hm . ?” *blinks confused*
Vlad and Ji Ho woke up from Giga’s scream and went downstairs.
And then a wild discussion started about:
- telling Jeb - or not - that the two kids at the Lab were Jack and Giga and how much he helped them then (3:1, Giga does not want to tell Jeb. He thinks it would kill him if he knew he messed up to rescue his Giigs - Vlad, Jack and Ji Ho want to help Jeb out of his slump to (hopefully) finally get over it.)
- how to find evidence about Molly Prescott’s connection to the council
- why the council (and not Morgan) wanted to steal Vlad’s dead body
Jack: “Jeb needs us now. You saw him how he left - with that bag on his head - again!
It’s time for Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath to come back! Do it for Jeb!”
Giga and Ji Ho (in case Jeb ignores Giga’s messages) tried to contact Jeb. Futile... Even Francine doesn’t know where he is.
No one had an idea where to search for Jeb either.
So they decided to head for Strangerville first.
To look if they can find some hints in the abandoned Lab/Military Base...
Barfolomew is still at Tartosa with the others and awaits them back at the Space Bar in a few days later anyway.
Comments
Yamachan is omnipresent...
ö.ö
Jack munched his food faster than the others and took a look around.
Jack: “It’s beautiful though. I’m glad we went out tonight.”
It would be better if Kiyoshi was still with him. He left without a word with his strange sister.
Does he have trouble with the council?
Jack tried to contact Kiyoshi but he got no answer.
Vlad is so cute when he laughs
They bought matching Festival Clothes and Ji Ho wanted a friend for his Simmie at home.
But the machine said no... (he seems to have no luck with any kind of these machines ^^’)
Vlad
Poor Giigs thought of his Jebs and had a moment of sadness :,(

It was far after midnight when they headed back to the tavern.
Why does Jack look so small in this pic?
Omg they look like Kili and Tauriel from ‘The Hobbit’!
‘She...she is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream. Do you think she could have loved me?’
Outtakes
Vlad brushes a snowflake from Ji Ho’s beautiful face...
Ji Ho is worried because the bond drags Vlad and him together. He knows that Vlad loves him and it must be hard for him to endure that Ji Ho wants to be around him all the time even though he does not love Vlad - but Luci. After Ji Ho used the bond to call Vlad for help, it got even worse. The bond wants them to get physical ö.ö They hugged - twice - at the snow festival. Even though they never really talked to each other or touched (only when Vlad claimed Ji Ho and when they tightened the bond).
Giga: “That’s nothing to worry about. The Bond needs to get charged. After such an extreme strain even more. That can be done in different ways. Usually with the love between the two bonded. Weaker bonds between vampires and their servants by drinking their servant’s blood. But that’s impossible in your case because it would kill Vlad. Since you don’t love Vlad, the only thing left is physical contact.”
Jack: “But don’t worry. Vlad likes it! Look, he didn’t even complain when I kissed him when we rehearsed. And? Did he complain after you tightened the bond?”
Ji Ho: “Uhm - no?”
Jack: “See! He’s quite a cuddler!”
(Jack’s logic is brain twisting... and Vlad did complain when Jack kissed him! omg)
Vlad is determined that the next book he’s going to read will be ‘1000 ways to kill your best friend’... (of course he overheard it - as always)
When they finally fell asleep (!) Vlad went over to bring Ji Ho his new Simmi figure. (Vlad often gives Ji Ho secretly presents because he knows Ji Ho would feel uncomfortable if he would give them to him openly. The Ewok on Ji Ho’s bed is a present from Vlad too.)
After all that happened Ji Ho worries about him and his feelings...
And since Kiyoshi burned the mixture, he can’t even bring Luci back for Ji Ho to comfort him.
TMI: Vlad got Yamachan Simmi first ö.ö
So he bought another one instead...
Poor Ji Ho. He evolved new fear thanks to Yamachan’s Party ;-;

They had started to clean the house. Next morning they were about to leave Mount Komorebi.
The others are tired and Giga has no excuse anymore to not read what Jeb had written...
This is the beginning of the Background stories of Giga, Jack, Kiyoshi and Jeb.
Dear Giigs, Ji Ho, Vlad and Jack.
Our friendship meant so much to me and I’m sorry I’m about to destroy it now.
But I couldn’t go on like this - hiding the shameful truth about me. I’m sorry.
Two years ago:
I was 16 and not the Jeb that you know now.
Rebellous and eager to prove myself - since I was the only witch (beside my grandmother Francine) in my family.
One day I happened to overhear a discussion between Francine and Ms Ngyen (Dtui).
They were talking about the Council and that they were expanding their tests on cowplants as weapons against supernaturals in an abandoned miltary base in StrangerVille.
(This is inspired by the history of Moonwood Mill. You can read it -> here)
Dtui: “... last night they kidnapped two supernatural students to test their augmented cowplants! But since it’s a council facility we can’t act. They already installed anti magic devices and it’s impossible to break in into a secured military base...”
I was about to explode. What was this resistance against the Council good for when our hands were tied anyway!
Francine: “Oh gods - when I imagine they are just the age of my little Jeb!”
I couldn’t keep my feet still and was determined to rescue them - no matter the cost.
The same night I ran away from home and headed for StrangerVille.
TMI: I can’t belive we finally got there!
But there are things that had to be told first and even for me there are parts I didn’t know yet ö.ö
And 16 year old Jeb is so cute - I can’t!
Saiwa kept on reading - in disbelief.
It took me almost two days to reach StrangerVille (I hitchhiked).
Since I had no place to go anyway and slept a lot during the rides, I went for the side streets of Strangerville with their long opening hours (for the more cautious people who only crawl out at night) to start my search immediately.
I’ve already lost too much time. What might those two kids already have to endure?
After I spent a few hours in the bookstore to gather information about the military base, I went over to the internet cafe.
The rest of the night I spent researching and sat opposite of a strange guy. We started to chat carefully but eventually he told me that his organisation knew too of the two students and were about to rescue them! I wasn’t alone! There were people actually doing someting!
Enrico - that was his name - and I doubled our efforts during the next day, while the rest of his organisation gathered information around the military base within the town.
We lived in the run down strange Trailer Park not far from the miltary base.
When we eventually gathered enough information and after I was lucky to find a hidden unsecured ventilation shaft in the blueprints of the base (a member of the organisation obtained them from an old construction worker of the base who investigates the cases of his co workers whom all had died due to unexplained reasons ö.ö') we made a plan.
Then I finally met the rest of the organisation: Aleki 🐸🐸🐸🐸, the owner of the curiosity stand.
This night I saw Military Base Area 42 for the first time.
We planned our break in for the following night...
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
It's breaking Giigs heart but he kept on reading. Poor Jeb.
It was the night of our break in. When we were sneaking along the fence, I took a look inside.
Portable cooler, campfire, candles on bottles. Were they chatting and laughing here while those kids were suffering just a few steps away?
Enrico: “Don’t judge them. Turning a blind eye on the grievances of this world keeps the most people sane. Think of soldiers or butchers. They are doing the dirty jobs for our comfort. Not everyone is as crazy as us to fight against the circumstances we live in. They might be even happy and proud. Help to keep the supes under control.”
I am so glad I had met those two men.
We eventually found the secret ventilation shaft down to the laboratory where the kids were kept.
Aleki: “If anything goes wrong - you run. Everyone is on his own then. Promise me.”
Jeb: “I promise.”
Enrico pushed the ventilation panel aside.
Enrico: “Ok - let’s go!”
Aleki: “Behind this door the kids are kept. I’m going to hack the door code now.”
Even though we made sure that we picked a time where none of the scientists is on the corridors, one of them decided he had to go to the restroom - unscheduled...
Enrico: “RUN!!!”
Felix: “Hey!”
And I ran...
Enrico and Aleki got cought by the police (blessing in disguise not by the council!). Due to their long police files of crazy ‘offenses’, like glueing themselves on the entrance door of the ‘The ······ Lab’ or unauthorised demonstrations against the military, they were set free on probation after two months in jail, because they thought it was just another silly offense and no act against the council.
Francine told me, that after our break in, the security for the kids was aggravated. I can only imagine what they had to go through in addition after our deed...
I was so ashamed and rueful that, from that day on, I started to wear that bag on my head. Not only had I made everything worse for the two kids, I even dragged two innocent men into my abyss of thoughtless and stupid actions.
I shouldn’t have approached you in the first place and think it could all be forgotten.
(Editor’s Note: Ms Coombes - spinning her threads - told Ji Ho to join school activities. What he did. And there he had met Jeb and Kiyoshi! Jeb told Ji Ho once, how he had felt when he met him and what made him aproach Ji Ho.)
I’m sorry I lied to you and caused you so much trouble and harm.
Giigs, please forget about me. I’m a nobody.

What also happened two years ago around the same time at that Military Base...
- he woke up on this examination bed a few minutes ago
- he still feels dizzy from the narcotics
- he tried to open the door but it was locked
All he remembers is, that a white van had stopped by and he had been kidnapped.
While exploring the room he found a pile of documents.
Most of them with the header:
Prescott Labs
Strangerville
(Editors Note: Prescott? Like the Prescott Prescotts from Copperdale? ö.ö)
Then he heard the door open and slam shut again and a zombie attacked him!
A zombie with pointy teeth! A zombie-vampire?
Zombie-Vampire: “Why did you kidnap me?!”
Chubby Boy: “I didn’t! I’ve been kidnapped too! But how is it possible that zombies can speak?”
Zombie-Vampire: “Are you stupid? That’s my cosplay! There’s no such thing as zombies! I’ve been kidnapped on my way to the Geek Con!”
Jack: “You’re pretty cool then, huh? By the way: my name is Jack. And you are?”
Zombie Vampire: “Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath. This means: the red beauty who walks the night shadows.”
Jack: “Is this your D&D name?”
Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath: “No. I’m of dark elvish descent. The other half is vampire.”
(There is no such thing as zombies but dark elf vampires? Ö.ö)
Jack: “Your name is too complicated and long. Let’s see...You are a geek and you bite ... hmmm ... Oh! I have it! I’ll call you Giga Byte!”
Giga Byte: “Gods! You are so annoying! I hate you from the dephts of my black soul!”

Since their phone signals are disturbed and they somehow got strapped from their magic abilities, it got boring after a while and they chatted again.
Jack: “What could they possibly want from us? I have nothing and no one who would pay ransom money for me.”
Giga: “This is a high tech laboratory and we are supernaturals! They even have anti magic devices! And you think they’d kidnapped us for money?”
Jack: “Omg! You’re such an annoying know-it-all! I really hope we’ll never meet again when this is over!”
Giga: “If we should ever meet again I’m going to eat your stupid little brain!”
Jack: “I’d like to see you try finding it with your silly rotten pale eyes! :P ”
And this is how Giga and Jack became best friends forever...
And then the door opened and the lab staff said: “Follow me - and no fuss. Your abilities are useless here.”
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
Lab Staff: “In there!”
Jack: “Oh there are bars! Thank the maker! Then it’s like shark cage diving, right? They can’t reach us!”
Giga: “You are really one of a kind...It’s just to get them accustumed to our smell. That’s how they train them to attack werewolves and vampires.”
Jack: “Oh... but why do they gather on my side?”
Giga: “Where shall I start? You are chubbier, weaker, you have less stringy muscles and I’m too pretty to be eaten! Omg - I can’t watch this. Step back!”
Aouw Giga protecting little Jack (he was 16 then and Giga 17). That’s when it must have started that Giga became the reluctant leader of them :,(
After a while they had been taken to another room. During the next days they spent a few hours every day with the cowplants. Giga and Jack did not get any food. Only water.
Jack: “Even though you are half elvish, you don’t have a reflection in the mirror... that’s good, so I can’t look under your skirt, right?”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack: “These mirrors are amazing! I really can’t see through! Do you think they watch us all the time?”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack: “I really want to change my clothes. I can’t even shift in my wolf. Then I could groom myself...”
Giga: *sigh*
Jack is like a little puppy. He distracted them from their fears and kept the spirits up - and even though Giga didn’t show it, he appreciated it.
He didn’t tell Jack, but he was really worried of the things to come.
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
The bars were gone.
Giga: “Jack, stay behind. I know you’re hungry. But let me go. I’m a vampire - my chances to survive this are better.”
Jack thinks Giga is so cool...
Jack: “Noooooo!”
It was too tempting...
Giga: “Jack! No!”
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
Lab Staff is collecting the essences of Giga and Jack from the cowplants for further experiments and studies to modify the cowplants.
The next day - after they had been eaten and spit out by the cowplants again - Giga didn’t even wake up anymore and Jack is completely broken.
(That’s what Giga was talking about to Barfolomew at the Stacks! That Jeb would not want a guy like him - omg.)
Jack: “Saiwa - please wake up. I won’t call you silly names again and I will always listen to what you say. Just please - wake up.”
Giga: “Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath died in this lab, Jack. Nobody is going to call me by this name again. This tainted and befouled I can’t carry a noble name like this. Call me what ever you want. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
And just a little later Jack began to tremble.
Giga: “Jack! What’s wrong?”
Jack: “I - I can’t breathe anymore. *Gasps for air* Are they cutting us now from air and food? *gasps* “
Giga: “No, Jack. I can breathe just fine. Try to calm down.”
‘Try to calm down’ never works and Jack was about to collapse.
(This is how Jack developed his panic from being locked up!)
Oh gods, Jack :,(
But then...
Voice 1: “Behind this door the kids are kept. I’m going to hack the door code now.”
Voice 2: “RUN!!!”
Lab Staff: “Hey!”
(That was when Jeb and his friends were trying to rescue ‘the Kids’!)
Giga: “Did you hear that? Someone was trying to rescue us!”
Jack: “But they failed!”
Giga: “But they know that we are kept here! They will try again! There is hope, Jack! Stay strong! You promised to listen what I say! ^^ “
If Jeb only knew how he helped them in their darkest hour :,(

Still two years ago - Ito Residence
The same night Jeb and his friends failed with their rescue and Giga and Jack heard the sirens, Mr Ito got note from the Prescott Lab in Strangerville.
Mr Ito is the head of the laboratory and fired the Lab Staff in charge, who left his workplace, immediately. (lol if it wasn’t for him, Jeb and his friends could have successfully rescued Giga and Jack and he got fired for leaving his place...)
His son is 17 now and old enough to fulfill his duty.
Since many generations the Ito family proceeds with fervor against supernaturals.
Mr Ito even invented the anti magic device!
Mr Ito: “I want you to work at the laboratory together with the new lab staff. Have an eye on her and report anything suspicious to me.”
(Mrs Ito is not happy about this, but she would never speak up.)
Kiyoshi: “You will be proud of me, father.”
Ms Ngyen: “You can count on me Mr Ito. We will weed out those creatures from this world.”
Mr Ito: “Very well then.”
Outtakes
hahaha and then Guidry showed up!

The former, undependable Lab Staff had to be superseded asap, so Dtui and Kiyoshi reached Area 42 only a few hours later.
Kiyoshi wanted to take a look at these foul creatures. His father did not allow him near them in the past so he hadn’t the opportunity to face them often.
Jack and Giga were sleeping and Kiyoshi was not afraid at all, since he fully trusts the anti magic devices his father had invented.
And then Kiyoshi saw Jack for the first time.
A bolt had hit him right in his chest.
Kiyoshi: “Aaaargh!”
Kiyoshi: “This filthy beast attacked me! How is this possible with the anti magic devices? Did someone turn them off?”
Dtui: “The devices work just fine. And he is a - sleeping - werewolf, they can’t cast ‘spells’ like this, even when they are awake.”
Kiyoshi: “We should kill them immediatly! They are more dangerous than expected!”
Dtui: “If we kill them now - we kill two of them. But if we succeed with the augmented cowplants - we will weed them from this world. All of them.”
Dtui: “Let’s check the CCTV and see how dangerous they are. And - just in case - we will numb them. It’s better anyway, if someone tries to rescue them again. They won’t be able to run away.”
This is very clever of Dtui, because it prevents Giga and Jack from additional mental damage :,(
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
Kiyoshi wanted to know how Dtui was able to resist the ‘attack’.
Dtui: “There are many ways to protect yourself from attacks and tricks on your mind and body. Best thing to start with is meditation. A clear mind, mindfulness, awareness - these things are incredibly valuable in any situation.”
Kiyoshi: “Meditation? Isn’t this magic?”
Dtui: “No ^^. Rather the opposite. Magic tricks you - meditation leads you to you inner self. To awareness. To trust your very own perception. To look behind the things that are blinding you.”
The following days Kiyoshi spent meditating. And watching the foul creatures.
And he watched the CCTV. Nothing his father told him about them was true.
Could they really be fake 25/7? Everytime he looked at the werewolf his chest ached though.
And then it was time for their first test they had to observe.
Jack could keep himself barely on his feet because of the narcotics.
Dtui is closing her eyes, she can’t watch this :,(
Kiyoshi: “Stop it!”
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
All along the watchtower

Kiyoshi: “Ms Ngyen. I can’t do this. Report me to the council.”
Dtui: “I won’t do that. You can leave, if you like. I won’t tell anyone.”
Kiyoshi: “I want this to end. I want to help them. But how can I be sure I do the right thing?”
Dtui: “Does it feel wrong to help them?”
Kiyoshi: “No.”
Dtui: “This isn’t a decision to make easily and no one can help you with that. You are about to act against the Council. You will lose your home, your family and maybe even your life. Take your time. I will be with you - whatever you decide.”
Kiyoshi went to the desert. He sat there the whole night and mused about his possibilities. But with all the things he saw and learned at the laboratory, there was only one way left to go for him. There was no turning back anymore.
And so he went back and stood at the same place as Jeb and his friends a few days ago when they planned their break in.
Kiyoshi: “I’m up for it. I will pay the debts of my family for doing wrong and causing so much pain. Let’s invert the mutations of the cowplants so they can do no harm anymore and destroy all the documents and logs.”
The Lab Staff, who had been fired, hadn’t left the Military Base. He felt treated unfairly and watched Dtui and Kiyoshi to find anything useful that would get him his job back. Seems he was lucky...
(TMI: The name of this Sim is -> Felix ^^’ ‘felix’ is latin and means ‘lucky’).
Dtui: “I’ll call my partner to get Giga and Jack out of here. She will be here in a few hours.”
And at the same time Felix called the council. A race against time had started and Dtui and Kiyoshi didn’t even now they were participants...
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
Dtui’s partner arrived! Just when they were about to set the cowplants free.
Dtui: “Kiyoshi, this is my fated mate, Rita. When I first saw her, it hit me like a bolt in my chest.”
Rita: “300 million volt ^^ “
Kiyoshi: “... ö.Ö’ ...”
It had hit him like a bolt in his chest when he first saw the werewolf...
Kiyoshi packed Giga and Jack on the truck. They were still so numb, they didn’t see him clear.
TMI: It’s still the same blanket Jack had been lying on when / after Vlad died and when they drove him to the temple to recover
Rita: “Take care. I love you.”
Dtui: “I know.”
And then Rita had left with Jack and Giga.
TMI: Ms Rita Coombes is the future teacher of the boys and will later be involved in the rescue of Ji Ho and Vlad too
(later in time, their background stories have already been told at the beginning of this story.)
The council arrived just a little later. Dtui got arrested immediately. And Felix got his job back...
Councillor: “Kiyoshi, get in the car. I’ll drive you home.”
Kiyoshi: “No. I won’t be part of the actions of the Council anymore.”
Councillor: “You know there’s only one way to part with the council.”
Kiyoshi: “Yes.”
The Councillor is sure Mr Ito will kill him for bringing him those news...
(Editor’s Note: Their faces! I’m always amazed how well fantastic they play along! Without poses! I didn’t have to do anything.)
And this is how Kiyoshi’s spiritual journey had begun.
It is inspired by ‘The Fool’s Journey’ described in the Tarot.
And I’ll never get over how handsome he is for being a premade sim ^^

Kiyoshi and Dtui got arrested and were brought to the Council's High Court.
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at 5 o'clock, they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Running low, yeah!
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
Take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody, please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
The words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
If there's a God, why has he let me go?
As I walk, my life drifts before me
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Yeah-yeah-yeah, hallowed be thy name
Yeah-yeah-yeah, hallowed by thy name
Hallowed be thy name - Iron Maiden

Councillor: “Good morning! This is CBC News.
We are live at the Council’s High Court!
In about five minutes the execution of two traitors is going to occur.
They pleaded themselves guilty of high treason. Sadly one of them is Kiyoshi Ito, son of our valued councillor Mr Ito.”
Councillor: “Mr Ito. How could it come this far? Your son wasn’t bewitched and acted on his own free will against the council. He confessed everything. Any comments?”
Mr Ito: “I don’t have a son anymore and i will prove to the council that I entirely approve their verdict!”
Councillor: “I’ll hold you by your word, Mr Ito. Now - I see the executioner has stacked the logs neatly, the anti magic devices are at full load output - we can look forward to a nice, smooth execution!”
Councillor: “And here they come! The foul witch and her henchman! The Council is going to make an example here today. Everyone should know what happens when one acts against the Council!”
Councillor: “Mr Ito was speaking no empty words - he himself lights the pyre of his putrid son.”
Councillor: “Very well prepared, executioner! He is truely a master of his trade! The fire burns quick and bright!
... uhm ... I’m not sure what’s happening at the moment... the flames can’t touch them!”
Councillor: “The fires are about to extinguish by themselves! This can’t be done by magic! The anti magic devices are at full power!”
Councillor: “They are leaving! No one is stopping them! I can’t move! I can’t.... chrglchrrr!”
And then the broadcast ended... ö.Ö

This was a black day for the council. Not only had the son of a valued council member betrayed them. They had either to declare that their praised anti magic devices are worthlesss or a wonder had happened to save Dtui and Kiyoshi.
Dtui and Kiyoshi had left quiet and peaceful.
The council had lost many followers and supporters after this broadcast.
Many just supported the council out of fear.
They overthought this after they’d seen that is wasn’t impossible to escape the grasp of the council.
How they survived:
Dtui had decided she was too young to die and touched the ley lines.
(And no proper witch let’s herself get burned on a pyre!)
(wikipedia: ley lines
a supposed straight line connecting three or more prehistoric or ancient sites, sometimes regarded as the line of a former track and associated by some with lines of energy and other paranormal phenomena.)
As fortune would have it, there even was a conjunction of major lines under the high court!
There are always some deities hanging around when a sacrifice is offered.
And so Dtui made a deal with Kōjin - the god of the hearth and the kitchen.
She promised that Kiyoshi and her would build a temple for Kōjin and serve him.
And this is how Dtui and Kiyoshi ended up at the temple as fire Yōkai.
The council raids the temple every few weeks, but they never find anything suspicious.
They also put Sebastian in charge to observe Kiyoshi - futile.
It’s safer, though, no one knows that Kiyoshi and Dtui are demons so the council has no additional reason to be after them.
They live quietly so they can act in secret and people started to think that the council maybe is not always right and true with their actions.
(Another reason why Kiyoshi insisted to date Jack in secret was that, thanks to Dtui’s and Kiyoshi’s spectacular escape from the pyre, no one took any interest in what happened to Jack and Giga after they vanished from the lab. It’s safer for them if the council does not have them on their radar.)
Dtui spotted Kiyoshi’s scary sister during the execution! ö.Ö’

We are still 2 years ago in their background stories.
After we accompanied Dtui and Kiyoshi to their execution yesterday - we are going to look what happened to Jack and Giga after Ms Coombes rescued them from the laboratory.
Giga: “Wake up, Jack.”
It’s cold in Moonwood Mill! And they are so hungry.
Ms Coombes: “Giga, Jack - this is Noxeema. She will give you some clothes and then we can eat!”
Noxeema: “I’m sure we’ll find something for you.”
Giga: “Are these all your clothes?”
Noxeema: “Uhm - yes. The manager scolds me all the time. They take too much space and I don’t wear most of them anyway.”
Giga: “Why don’t you sell them?”
Noxeema: “I don’t know how and I don’t have time between my shows and rehearsals and dance lessons :,( “
Giga: “I’m good with computers. I could maybe code an online shop and help you?”
Noxeema: “Oh - aren’t you the sweetest thing! We need a name though... hmmm...”
Giga: “What about Strawberry Cake Fashion?”
Noxeema: *claps hands* “That’s marvellous!”
And this is how Giga started with his and Noxeema’s online shop:
Strawberry Cake Fashion!
Noxeema is inspired by Noxeema Jackson from the movie ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything - Julie Newmar’.
Noxeema is played by Wesley Snipes in the movie and in my game by Wesley Kareem (who also plays Vlad’s first love, Wesley ^^’), whom is inspired by Wesley Snipes ^^’
(Who is in my top 5 list of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen
Patrick Swayze played Vida!
Then I'm-a tell ya like this, and I'm-a tell ya this way
My body's beautiful, that's all I'm sayin'
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes
You're beautiful, too, just realize this
Can't you see the beauty in me?
Open up your heart and set your mind free
Everybody's beautiful in their own way
Express yourself every day
And when you got joy on the inside it shows on the out
Be confident and you're beautiful without a doubt
You're absolutely gorgeous, don't ya know?
So you got the body beautiful glow

Noxeema: “Don’t you find anything you like?”
Giga: “I’m not sure...”
And then Giga told Noxeema what had happened to them and how much he hates himself now and how much he abhors his filthy body after the cowplants had eaten them and spit them out.
Noxeema: “How about being someone else instead - until you are ready to deal with it?
Good friends of me once said:
Carol Ann: "I do not think of you as a man and I do not think of you as a woman. I think of you as an angel."
Vida: "I think that's healthy!"
(this is an original quote from the movie)
And this is how Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath finally became the Giga Byte we met at the very beginning of the story!
Knowing this adds another pint of sadness to Giga’s relationship with Jeb. Because just when Giga was about to open up to Jeb and changed back to his real self and maybe wanted to work things up together with Jeb - Jeb had a crush on Jack and they broke up :,(
(Giga didn’t want to be fake to Jeb and started to show his true self and after they broke up, Giga thought it was because of him. That Jeb didn’t like him as he really was.
And when it got serious between them, Jeb thought he wasn’t good enough for Giga because he messed up with the rescue... and he even doesn’t know that it had been Giga and Jack who were held captive there! - omg)
But it maybe was for the best. After all we know now about their past in the laboratory, they’ll need to take their time and think it over if there is any chance at all that they can be together again...
And maybe Noxeema was Jack’s very first crush!
Which is funny because Wesley, who plays Noxeema, was also Vlad’s first love!
Jack grabbed two slices of pizza. After their traumatizing time at the laboratory, where they had nothing to eat for days (only the cake from the cowplants...), Jack developed a bunch of fears and panics and strange behaviours.
A few of them we already know.
His paranoia and jealousy and his fear of being locked up.
Additional he doesn’t want to be chubby anymore to be unattractive to cowplants and other things who maybe want to eat him.
But on the other hand his fear of not getting enough to eat... They resolved this by taking long walks with him in his wolf.

This is still 'The Story of Giga and Jack' (two years ago)
Giga: “Why are so many people gathering here?”
Noxeema: “Oh - there’s a concert tonight!”
Jack: “Omg! It’s Barf the Mawg!”
Giga: “Wow! ö.ö ”
Barfolomew played:
Rocks by Hound Dog (Which is an opening from the Naruto Anime)
For no single one
To none does belong
This time is ours, right now…
and Hound Dog by Elvis
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
And then Noxeema entered the stage!
First song is: Drink it from The Boyz
(Noxeema sings the original version, lyrics are translated from Korean)
My thirst is only filled with you
Can't take it no more
For the first and last, quickly, before the sun rises
Drink it, get drunk for me, tonight
Uh, beg forgiveness
In the night when I stab my heart and hide
With just the two of us
Feel my breath on your neck
Then she sings: After Dark by Tito & Tarantula
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she'll be back and rule again yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
Wow!

After the concert they were allowed to sit at the same table as Barfolomew!
Ms Coombes: “Do you still own that bar in Copperdale?”
Barfolomew: “Sure.”
Ms Coombes: “Any spare rooms there?”
Barfolomew: “Sure!”
And this is how Giga and Jack ended up at the Space (Balls) Bar & Grill (and now ‘& Residence’)
The ingame photos we took:
Outtakes: The manager was not satisfied with the soundcheck and argues with LY (Athena was there too but she had short-circuits all the time due to the snow...)

This is the last part of ‘The Story of Kiyoshi and Dtui’ (two years ago)
Dtui and Kiyoshi had risen from the ashes like a phoenix - stronger, smarter and more powerful.
But Kiyoshi’s first months at the temple had been very hard for him.
For the first seventeen years of his life he’d been raised in the beliefs of the Council and now he had lost his home and his family (and almost his life).
His whole life until now had been a lie.
The guilt had been eating him up.
And Dtui had been full time busy with keeping him stable.
He had so much to learn.
And the studies and his duties at the temple distracted him and kept him from overthinking too much.
There was a whole new fascinating universe to discover he barely ever heard of before!
And then there was this subliminal longing for this werewolf.
Could it really be possible that he was his fated mate?
Like Dtui and Ms Coombes had implied?
What crazy fate thinks it’s funny to make up a pairing like the two of them?
So in addition he started to study werewolves in his free time.
And what it takes to be mated to one...
And additional to all this studies he had always been the best student of his year at school. He really gave himself no time to breathe...
Kiyoshi waited for almost two years before he made his first move on Jack.
Jack’s zodiac sign is cancer, so his birthday is between end of june to end of july. And on august 7th (i checked my tumblr archives lol) Kiyoshi asked Ji Ho if he can take Jack to the prom! Just a few days/weeks after Jack’s 18th birthday!
Kiyoshi was just another premade then and neither part of the household nor was it planned to add him to the story.
(And I learned about their zodiac signs in November ^^’)
(crazy ö.ö)
So now we know:
- why he is so dominant in his relationship to Jack
(because he prepares to become Jack’s Alpha. Even if it’s not his nature.
But after all Jack went through plus the damage he took from the laboratory plus his puppy nature make Jack a omega through and through. He needs protection and someone to look after him - and a strong hand...)
- why they date in secret
(because the Council is regularly raiding the temple and sent Sebastian to spy Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi does not want the Council to be overly interested in the boys to not put them in jeopardy.
Plus the council is not aware that it had been Saiwa and Jack they had kidnapped and tortured in the lab. Kiyoshi does not want to draw the council’s attention to them again.
This counts for Vlad too. Kiyoshi seemed to know about Vlad and his connection to the Council and that they were about to kill him earlier.
Plus Kiyoshi feels guilty. He fears if Jack ever finds out about Kiyoshi’s family and that they are involved in the Council’s machinations, Jack would turn his back on him.
- why he pretends to be interested in other guys and girls (see above)

This is the last part of ‘The Story of Jeb’ (two years ago)
After he ran away from the laboratory where he failed to rescue the kids that had been held captive there, Francine urged him to come back home.
He did - reluctantly.
(He was only 16 then and had nowhere else to go anyway...)
He refused to live in the house together with the rest of the family, though and moved to the shed and put that bag on his had - he was so ashamed and felt so guilty.
(It looks so different from how we know his room almost two years later. After he had met Ji Ho and Giga. So Ji Ho really brought back the light in Jeb’s life, like Jeb confessed to Ji Ho the other day at school.)
Minerva (Ms Coombes) and Francine knew that it was useless to tell him that his actions, as silly as they were, helped to rescue the kids (he never knew that it had been Jack and Giga).
In his state he was in then, he might have thought they just tell this to him to make him feel better.
(You possibly experienced this yourself when trying to give advice to a friend - it’s useless until they are ready for it. Frustrating, right?)
At the wall behind my psychiatrist’s reception desk is a writing:
- change is a door that can only be opened from the inside -
And it was frustrating - the most for Francine. Being so powerful, and at the same time unable to help her grandchild, hit her hard.
But she had faith and trusted in destiny, in life and in Jeb.
Jeb has it’s own pace to deal with things and he will grow stronger and prosper once he resolved it.
My thoughts on this:
I’m sure Frodo would never have thrown the ring into the fires of mount doom if the eagles had flewn him there in the beginning, because else he never had experienced the danger of the ring and why it needs to be destroyed.
And Harry had never fought this eagerly for Hogwarts if he never experienced the hell at Dursleys.
And Ji Ho had maybe never become a part of the boys life if Ms Coombes had forced them to live together at the Space Bar.
Haha and(!) Giga had never grewn fond of that little annoying werewolf!
You’ll never know what the stuff you are going through is good for in the end!
Therefore some (wise or stupid) people say:
I would go through it again - because it lead me here.
So they found together through their experiences and hardships and this glued them together. They just know that they can depend on each other and trust each other.
TMI: In the beginning Ms Coombes allowed Ji Ho to sleep in the storage of the school until Jack and Vlad became suspicious and chased after him. While running away Ji Ho stumbled into Giga and he took him to the Space Bar
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
After we learned about their background stories, we return to here and now at Mount Komorebi, when they just finished reading Jeb’s Story.
Giga told Ji Ho his and Jack’s Story (Vlad already knew about it).
None of them knows that Kiyoshi was there too.
They don’t know how to deal with it. Giga went into their room and cried for hours and Jack followed to comfort him.
Ji Ho and Vlad keep themselves busy. They don’t talk to each other anyway, so they try to wrap their thoughts around of what they heard.
It was planned to leave Mount Komorebi today but they stayed awake the whole night to read Jeb’s Story so they were tired. Ji Ho hesitates to enter their room. He doesn’t want to disturb Giga and Jack. It must be so hard for them.
So he followed Vlad upstairs. Vlad is alone in the top bedroom anyway since Kiyoshi and Jeb left.
Like so often, when Jack is worried, he lies on the floor in his wolf.
He used the lavender oil on Gigas pillow, so at least he can sleep a bit.
Jack didn’t sleep and recalls their captivity at the laboratory. He avoided this for a very long time...
...
Jack: “Giga, wake up! I remember something!”
Giga: “ . . . hm . ?” *blinks confused*
Jack: “The laboratory! Before the zombie attacked me - I mean - before we met!
I was looking through the papers there and the header of the most of them was ‘Prescott Labs’! Prescott! Like the Prescott Prescotts from Copperdale! Remember that crazy day at school when we tried to find out who tried to steal Vlad’s dead body? Molly Prescott! What if there is a link?”
Vlad and Ji Ho woke up from Giga’s scream and went downstairs.
And then a wild discussion started about:
- telling Jeb - or not - that the two kids at the Lab were Jack and Giga and how much he helped them then (3:1, Giga does not want to tell Jeb. He thinks it would kill him if he knew he messed up to rescue his Giigs - Vlad, Jack and Ji Ho want to help Jeb out of his slump to (hopefully) finally get over it.)
- how to find evidence about Molly Prescott’s connection to the council
- why the council (and not Morgan) wanted to steal Vlad’s dead body
Jack: “Jeb needs us now. You saw him how he left - with that bag on his head - again!
It’s time for Saiwa Vanië Man Del Dúath to come back! Do it for Jeb!”
Giga and Ji Ho (in case Jeb ignores Giga’s messages) tried to contact Jeb. Futile... Even Francine doesn’t know where he is.
No one had an idea where to search for Jeb either.
So they decided to head for Strangerville first.
To look if they can find some hints in the abandoned Lab/Military Base...
Barfolomew is still at Tartosa with the others and awaits them back at the Space Bar in a few days later anyway.
