The boys are leaving Mount Komorebi!
I really enjoyed this chapter here.
How sad they are.
(The screenshot above is not edited ö.ö, no mods, no cc, no gshade/reshade)
We never found out why Sims spawn and vanish here at this point...
We can’t blame Yamachan for this, he’s in jail now and they still keep doing this...
Jack: “Good day! Can you please tell us where you came from and how you got here?”
Sim: “Sul sul! Oh, of course! I was just somewhere and suddenly I vanished and now I’m here! I have to go over there now, bye!”
Jack: “...”
Ji Ho: “This is a strange world we live in...”
Jack was stopping by Kiyoshi’s snow angel. He hadn’t heard of Kiyoshi since he left with his scary sister after Yamachan’s Party. He doesn’t even know if they are still together after their quarrels in the sanctuary and when Kiyoshi sent Luci away. There were the presents under the tree, though...
Outtakes
While Jack was standing there, Jeb texted him! :,(
Strange that Jeb picked Jack, they never interacted much ö.ö
Uh - what a contrast to Mount Komorebi!
Cheapest place to stay is the Strange Trailerpark, where Jeb lived while he was here two years ago to rescue the Kids!
Even though they are used to live at run down places, Jack is complaining. He has his limits, though. ^^’
But they don’t have enough money to stay elsewhere, so...
And then he scented a person he never wanted to be near again...
The Lab Staff who fed them to the cowplants two years ago!
And he is with Sebastian!
Who visited Kiyoshi at the temple!
(Jack does not know that Sebastian spies Kiyoshi for the council. He was just jealous that Kiyoshi was about to kiss Sebastian while Jack stayed at the temple after Vlad’s death ö.ö’).
Jack: “Sai! He is here! The Lab Staff!”
(They started to call Giga by his real name after they heard his story. They are determinded to bring Saiwa back to his old self to overcome his traumatic past so he’s able to help Jeb.)
Saiwa: “What??? How is this possible? After two years!”
Gianna: “Hey guys! This is Strangerville! The stuff to disguise yourselves is already included! Along with 3 free bugging devices and a voucher for the curio shop.”
Gianna: “Just check your trailer. Here are your keys - it’s trailer 1 and 3. Have a nice stay!”
(TMI: Gianna was Trailerpark Goofer too in my Strangerville Story.)
Uh, rain falling on my face
And washing off that sweat off
Making me cleaner than the dirt on ma high top
I suffer from the words you throw at me
But makes me tougher
Energetic youngster like me loves playing in muddy water
Looking back at what you said behind my back
Doesn't matter 'cause I'm a winner
Strong believer
24/7 with the members scoring goals like a team player
I execute the shadows all around me call me demon slayer
Feeling so fly, feeling so fly
Feeling so fly, feeling so fly
This my life style, this my life style (hey)
I'm breathing, working, moving
Sit down and listen for once
It had been a long and dusty ride from Mount Komorebi. Like Jeb two years ago, they hichhiked.
None of the trailers has a bathroom so they had to use the facilities in the main building. The youngest ones went to shower first because Ji Ho was longing for the pool and Sai and Vlad discussed how to proceed.
Gladly Jack scented the lab staff with his paranoid nose! Otherwise they would have run in a trap!
Vlad suggested to go alone to the lab, to not put the others in jeopardy and to keep Sai and Jack from facing their trauma again.
Of course Sai denied. They are in this together, as always.
Even more, now that they have to go through this without Kiyoshi and Jeb...
But if they disguise themselves, like the goofer suggested, no one would recognize them.
Omg Ji Ho! Well, they are wet anyway.
Their faces!
(Poor Jack is missing Kiyoshi so much. Even though he kept secrets from him and would come for him one day...)
It was decided that Sai and Jack stay together in one of the trailers so Jack can warn Sai if the lab staff or Sebastian come near them again.
Means: Vlad and Ji Ho together in the other trailer.
Means: A challenge for Vlad’s self control... As if it wasn’t hard enough to see Ji Ho swim...
Sai: “I wonder what sane people are doing right now...”
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
Seing Ji Ho like this remembered Vlad that he already overstretched his self control for today and he went for their trailer to calm down.
Sai called Ji Ho to his and Jack’s trailer.
Sai: “Ji Ho, when was the last time you and Vlad charged the bond?”
Ji Ho: “Uhm. Let’s see. That must have been New Year... Now that you mention it, I felt the drag from the bond, there just was no opportunity... you know.”
Sai: “I know it’s hard and I feel so sorry to ask you this. But you need to charge it very soon in case something goes wrong.
You can’t let you get weakened by the bond now. Plus a charged bond makes both of you stronger.
Since the Lab Staff and Sebastian are here and who knows else.
And Vlad would never aproach you to touch you. He is afraid to act inappropriate because you don’t love him, you know? So you are going to be responsible for this.”
Ji Ho: “Don’t worry! I’m going to figure out something with the minimum of awkwardness!”
Ji Ho went for a walk to ponder about his possibilities. This is not easy because the most interactions that include touching are ‘couple actions’.
These would be hurtful for Vlad because he loves Ji Ho so much. But he can never have him, because Ji Ho will always only love Luci...
On his way back he stopped by the reception desk to study the flyers. Bingo!
Ji Ho: “Hi. Can I rent trailer 2 for an hour?”
Goofer: “Sure!”
Ji Ho told Jack about his idea.
Jack: “Omg that’s brilliant! He’ll love this! I’ll send him over immediately!”
(What Jack thinks Vlad loves and what Vlad actually loves a two totally different pair of boots...)
Jack: “Have fun!”
Vlad: “Shut up!”
Jack: “I love you too!”
A massage studio in a trailer. We’ve seen stranger things, though...
Ji Ho thought this would be the least awkward. Since they already got a massage from Kiyoshi before the event on winter solstice...
Ji Ho was reminded of his time with Luci. He saw Luci naked almost every day when he used to care for him while Luci possessed Vlad’s body.
Meeting Luci again in the tavern, when Vlad had let him in, makes Ji Ho wonder if Luci is still somewhere in Vlads body, just not being able to show himself because Vlad is conscious.
Hearing Vlad moan brought Ji Ho back from daydreaming. Had he hurt Vlad undeliberatly?
Ji Ho: “Forgive me.” And then Ji Ho left.
Before Jack had sent Vlad over to the trailer, he told Vlad that Ji Ho told him that he had learned to give massages at 'The House of the rising Sun', where his mother used to work, to earn some money to pay the rent.
Argh, if Vlad ever get’s a grip on that landlord and owner from 'The House of the rising Sun' it needs more than wolf Jack to hold him back.
Outtakes
They can’t live in peace...
(I forgot to check what pyromaniac Jack was doing -.-)
Ji Ho knows he has to tell Sai that charging the bond went bit out of control.
The current situation with the council, Sebastian and the Lab Staff (and possible raiders in the abandoned lab) is far too serious.
There is too much at stake for them to place their mission in jeopardy by acting as unprofessional as he did.
Jack was eagerly waiting for him to hear about how it went...
Jack: “And? How was it?”
Ji Ho: “I fear I lost control. Somehow my mind blurred and I wasn’t aware anymore of what was real or not.
And I fear I hurt Vlad. I heard him moan and then I was conscious again. I’m sorry.”
Jack was quite sure Ji Ho did not hurt Vlad
Sai: “We should have seen this coming. We waited too long.
The Bond acts only for his own purposes. It takes no account on your feelings.
If you don’t ‘feed’ it voluntarly by charging it, the bond will knock you out and takes what it needs to survive.”
Jack: “You could even end up woohooing!”
Ji Ho: “What?” ö.ö’
Sai: “And that isn’t even the worst case. The bond could try to make you fall in love with Vlad to ensure it’s survival.
And then we’d be screwed. Because the curse would hit and kill you both!”
Sai: “I suggest, starting by tomorrow, we’ll charge the bond every day.
We need to protect Vlad.
Having those high peaks every few days plus the drag from the bond would be too hard for him to endure with all the feelings he has for you.
By charging every day he can get used to it - and you too.
Jack will attend the massages so you’ll both be safe.
And I will consult Noxeema about our disguises.”
Vlad was sitting at the porch of their trailer to read and calm down (and to avoid Ji Ho) and of course he heard everything (again...).
After all Ji Ho had to endure being bonded to him, a guy he doesn’t even love, he was worried he had hurt him.
After what he’d heard from Jack and Sai about the danger of the bond, Ji Ho needed some time alone and so he went for a walk.
Vlad was watching him from their trailer. There is nothing he can do to make him feel better and it makes him mad.
He even makes everything worse for Ji Ho.
If he could only bring Luci back from time to time. But Kiyoshi had burned the mixture and there was no other way he could think of.
Had the Bond tricked Ji Ho to make him think that Luci is still somewhere hidden in Vlad’s body to make it easier for him to touch Vlad and charge the bond?
Ji Ho misses Luci so much and the bond seems to know that.
It must be devastating for Vlad to know that when Ji Ho touches him, he longs for Luci instead.
It would be so much easier if he was able to love Vlad.
But if, they would be killed by the curse, so ... *sigh*
After Ji Ho had left, Sai and Jack are staring into the desert. Lost in their own sad thoughts.
None of them had heard anything from Kiyoshi and Jeb.
It’s over two weeks ago since they had left.
Vlad waited until Ji Ho returned from his walk and fell asleep until he dared to enter the trailer.
He couldn’t face him after what happened in Trailer 2.
Before he can set up his bed, he has to mop the puddles.
There must be a leaking pipe from the pool somewhere from the pool outside.
Speaking of Trailer 2. Vlad has a nice view on Trailer 2 and this reminds him that they are going to meet there again tomorrow to charge the bond. But Jack will be there too and watch over them - what a relief.
Vlad really hopes they’ll find a better solution soon. This is nerve wrecking for him to be this near to Ji Ho and to be touched by him.
But maybe Sai was right and they’ll get used to each other and it will be easier for them.
Sai and Jack look so tense - even in their sleep :,(
Tomorrow will be a hard day for them when they go back to the laboratory.
Outtakes
And then(!) I spotted this guy observing the trailer of Sai and Jack! And for some strange reasons he has the same haircolor and hairstyle as Lab Staff Felix from two years ago! But black eyebrows and a black beard. A disguise? ö.Ö
After Sai sent Jack, Ji Ho and Vlad over to Trailer 2 to charge the bond, he called Noxeema.
Noxeema: “Huh? Wo wakes a girl in the middle of the night and disturbs her beauty sleep?”
Sai: “You don’t need such things as beauty sleep and it’s half past eight - in the morning...”
Noxeema: “Like i said - middle of the night. But I’ll forgive you because you said sweet things “
She really doesn’t need beauty sleep
Sai: “Noxe, we need your advice on a disguise, we just have the basics here and not much money... *explains their situation* “
Noxeema: “Oh! This sounds fun! I have a marvellous idea! *tells Sai* “
Sai: “Gods! This is fantastic! Thank you! See you at the ‘cattle market’!”
Noxeema: “Oh! I can’t wait to see my babies again!”
It really was so much easier having Jack with them. He was babbling about an upcoming ‘cattle market’ in Moonwood Mill and about young werewolves finding their packs and fights and soon the hour was over.
The bond didn’t try any tricks on them this time.
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this freakin' thorn in my side
Oh my God, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's a sabotage
'Cause what you see you might not get
And we can bet, so don't you get souped yet
You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage
I'm trying to tell you now, it's sabotage'
'So, so, so, so listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button?
But you, I'm out and I'm gone
I'll tell you now, I keep it on and on'
TMI: When I did this with the Boys and the Beatles’ Abbey Road,
Ji Ho got bitten by Genji and Vlad died, Vlad had to claim Ji Ho back from Genji and initialised the Bond, Vlad died again because Ji Ho’s blood was poisonous for him, went to hell, Ji Ho fell in love with Luci, who possessed Vlad’s body and Vlad came back from hell - blind.
So I’m a bit afraid of the things to come lol
This is still one of my favourite chapters. As I review this one year later now, I still can't believe how well they played along.
We did all this (as always) without mods, cc and poses!
With their disguise they felt safe enough to explore StrangerVille.
Sai decided he needs a new suit though, because that shirt looked silly!
(Really EA, the selection on male clothes is already limited and then 2/3 of them have such extremely silly fits, they are unusable -.- even on sims with almost perfect proportions. Look at the sports trousers from Ji Ho in the background, another example.)
sigh
This must be the same side street where Jeb started his research to rescue them two years ago.
Sai is glad he wears dark glasses, because he can’t avoid the tears in his eyes.
Jeb is still lost somewhere out there, blaming himself.
Our backs are now against the wall?
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage Sabotage - Beastie Boys
They were looking through the stands and shops for something useful. (And they still have their voucher to spend from the trailerpark.)
Jack: “Oh a Crabby Bottom Armadillo! I want it! And here are books too! ‘The Untold Mysteries of StrangerVille’ and ‘Crystal Vu’s Top Secret Inventions’!”
Sai: “The books - ok. Armadillo - no!”
Jack: “Sai - please! This woman pushed in front of me and she’s going to buy it first!”
Sai: “There is no use for this thing!”
Jack: “What? That's not true! Look, the description says: a Crabby Bottom Armadillo is always there to cheer you up! If you ever need to put a smile on your face, stare into this Armadillo’s confused little eyes. He never disapproves of you, and is always there to make you laugh! Everyone loves the Crabby Bottom Armadillo!”
Sai: “Omg! Ok, but shut up already!”
Jack: “Aouw thank you! You won’t regret it!”
Sai: “I already do...”

And we can bet, so don't you get souped yet
There is this popular restaurant they wanted to try out.
Ji Ho, Jack and Sai occupied their tables and sent Vlad to order the food from the grumpy cook, since he doesn’t eat anyway.
Vlad: “Hey! My eyes are up here!”
This restaurant has little nooks for singles. You can eat there alone without beiing ogled by the other guests.
(I saw this a few times in dramas and i had to build it. That’s too cute ^^’)
And then this little brat stole the table and the chairs! I really hate this! ò.ó

I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate
After dinner Vlad and Ji Ho observed the streets from the bookshop...
and read the books Jack bought. (This guy looks familiar somehow ...)
Sai and Jack went to the internet cafe.
Sai was trying to find the blueprints Jeb wrote about how to find the secret entrance to the Lab.
He sat opposite a strange guy...
Jack was reading the manual of his Crabby Bottom Armadillo...
Jack: “Saiwa, did you know that the word armadillo means ‘little armored one’ in Spanish?”
Sai sighs...
Aleki: “Hey Enrico, are you ready here? Let’s head for the diner.”
Enrico: "Sure, Aleki!"
Aleki? Enrico? The Aleki and Enrico? The friends of Jeb who broke in into the Lab with him two years ago to rescue Saiwa and Jack aka the Kids?
They told Enrico and Aleki who they were and that they know Jeb. Aleki and Enrico told them where the secret entrance is and Sai and Jack promised to meet them at the diner after their ‘mission’ to chat a bit.
They were standing at the same place looking at the Lab as Jeb and Kiyoshi two years ago...
Jack: “Ji Ho, did you know that the nine-banded armadillo can hold its breath for about six minutes allowing it to walk underwater for short distances?”
Ji Ho: “Really? Wow!”
(They are so tense and anxious and Jack is doing his puppy strategy again to distract them and lighten up the mood. Even if he’s the most frightened himself. :,(
Vlad and Ji Ho are going to search the part of the lab where Jack and Sai were held captive. They won’t let them face this location again. It’s hard enough for them as it is.
It was even almost unbearable for Ji Ho and Vlad. Knowing what their friends had to endure here and the damage that they had taken that still affects their lifes.
Sai: “Jack, full concentration on your nose! Warn me as soon as you scent someone!”
Jack: “Ok!”
But then Jack saw the name plate on the desk.
‘Ito K.’
Jack was paralyzed.
Kiyoshi.
He had been here. Therefore he was so secretive all the time!
He was not working against the council, he was working for the council!
How could he have been so stupid and trusted him!
Against all the alarm bells that were ringing inside his head!
It would kill Saiwa if he ever finds out. He trusted Kiyoshi too.
Oh gods and Ji Ho worshipped Kiyoshi, even Vlad liked him!
How could they have been so blind!
He can’t tell them, it would kill them.
Jack needs to kill Kiyoshi before he ever comes near them again.
(Jack and the others don’t know the story of Kiyoshi and Dtui.
And that the two were involved in their rescue two years ago.)
Sebastian: “Told you they would come back one day.”
Felix: “It’s not them. Quick, lock the door! They must be in the other lab.”
Vlad: “ - censored - “
Felix: “Here you are. Trying to make me jobless again?”
(It seems Felix took his job a bit too serious? Had he been waiting here for them for two years even after the lab closed down? ö.Ö)
Ji Ho has a closer connection to the Bond than Vlad.
(It’s maybe because of their ying/yang personalities?
Ji Ho is more intuitive and Vlad more logical.)
Ji Ho let the Bond take control.
Vlad looks so confused, but he gave in ^^’
Sai: “What happened? How did you do this?”
Vlad had other problems...
Vlad: "Jack! You had one job! Why didn’t you warn us?”
Sai: “It’s my fault. We shouldn’t have brought him here. He’s still traumatized. I’m sorry Jack :,( ”
Jack can’t tell them that he found out that Kiyoshi had tortured them here...
Felix: “We’re trapped! The Lab runs on emergency power. The door doesn’t react on my device! And the anti magic devices are out of order too! They are going to kill us!”
Vlad: “We are going to kill them! If they escape and tell the council about us...”
Jack: “Oh no! We won’t go down this road, Vlad! I told you why!”
(uhm Jack?... And what about you killing Kiyoshi?)
Sai: “The anti magic devices are turned off, we have our powers and we are going to use them! We will mesmerize them for a few hours, they will forget everything if we act quickly and leave eventually with nothing to tell.
And we are going to the diner. We are going to have a nice meal and a nice chat with Enrico and Aleki! Let’s go!”
Sai: “Ready?”
Vlad nods.
Sai: “Let’s eat!”
It’s so good to see the old Saiwa coming back. Ready to deal with his past and not hiding himself anymore. He’s doing this for Jeb too. He doesn’t seem to find a way out of his slump alone :,(
I think this will be a great step forward in his and Jeb’s relationship. If Jeb still wants Saiwa after he told him what happened to him.
Roswell’s Diner
Aleki and Enrico waited for them.
Enrico: “Hey Jeb! A round of donuts and coffee for the officers here!”
Sai: “? Jeb ?”
Jeb: ‘Omg Officers? Are they coming for me?’
Sai: “Omg Jeb!”
Sai: “Jeb! Wait!”
Sai: “Argh - Jeb! It’s me!”
Sai: “Jeb! Wait! It’s me - your Giigs!”
But Jeb kept on running. He can’t face his Giigs.
Saiwa is broken.
Aleki and Enrico promised to call them if they find Jeb again.
So Jeb has been hiding in StrangerVille all the time after he left Sai at Mount Komorebi. And he had been with his old friends Aleki and Enrico and worked at the diner :,(
Vlad and Ji Ho went over to Trailer 2 to charge the bond. It was a major effort to switch them out of the lab and they feel the drain from the bond.
They went alone though. Jack and Sai went over their limits too this night, so they let them sleep and try to stay focussed.
And while Ji Ho was just applying the massage oil on his hands, Barfolomew looked through the window! ö.Ö
Barfolomew: “Are you crazy? What are you doing? Willingly summoning the curse upon you to kill you? And why are you even here? Unprotected!
You were supposed to stay safe at Mount Komorebi and work on your projects until school starts again!”
Barfolomew: “You can’t believe how upset the others are since Kiyoshi and Jeb are lost too! They scolded me for not being able to take care of you anymore! You know what that means?”
Barfolomew: “They are going to send you to a boarding school as soon as the ‘Cattle Market’ is over! They are even talking about to split you up!”
Vlad: “What?”
Barfolmew: “Now go and get dressed and pack your stuff. We’re leaving!”
What? Leaving the Space Bar and Barfolomew? And go to a boarding school?
Maybe not even together? :,(
For the end of the Sabotage Chapter, we went to Gangrim Police Station for a photo session for Sai's and Noxeema's online shop
(I built this lot for my Zombie Detective Story once ^^’)
Saiwa: “Strawberry Cake Fashion presents: The Simtimates Collection!”
Saiwa: “Hey Vlad, imagine...
...Ms Coombes seeing this!”
(Ms Coombes is their teacher and Vlad is her favourite ^^°)
Ready or not
Yea we don't give a what
Ready or not
Yea we don't give a what
The Captain: “Tepesz! We must find Jeb Harris at any cost!”
Vlad: “What?”
Saiwa: “Just play along!”
The Judge: “Sure Captain! Here are the pieces of evidence we already gained!”
Will you not say anything
For me tonight?
I didn’t know being alone would
Be this hard (I miss you)
Will you be my friend tonight?
On this good day
This beautiful day
This day where I miss you
Tonight I'll be crooked
'Wherever I go, they’re lining up,
when girls boys see me, their eyes light on fire
During the day, I’m a lil hamster
but at night when I’m making love, a gangster
A warm and affectionate look (natural skinship) you’ll be twitching
Even if you don’t tell me, I know what you want, I can tell'
Vlad: “Who made this awful coffee?”
(maybe you've been a bit distracted, Vlad?)
TMI: Vlad and Ji Ho went autonomously with the book and the coffee through the whole department to sit at the bench at the entrance, even though there were lots of chairs along their way ;3
(Jack: “I miss you, Kiyoshi...”)
Jack wears the collar Kiyoshi has given him for christmas...
'Baby, I can’t, I’m so bad that
I want to be good to you but it’s hard
Every day and night I'm so mean (Yeah!)
'Cause I'm so real, I'm sorry (But I can't change)
Don’t say a thing
I act tough but I’m not inside
Don’t abandon me
You know that there’s no one
Who will understand me like you, baby (Yeah, you know me, girl boy)
Oh, you, come back to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah'
Let's all play together
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's all jump together
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's all go crazy together
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let's all go together
"Wow, Fantastic Baby"
We have a little time until the ‘Cattle Market’ takes place, so we take a look what happened when Kiyoshi left with his scary sister after he rescued Jack and Ji Ho at Yamachan’s Party a few weeks ago.
Mrs Ito, their mother: “Kiyoshi!”
Kiyoshi’s sister is the scariest kid I ever saw in all my sims games ö.ö’
I’m quite sure she wasn’t supposed to attend Kiyoshi’s execution, but she was there and watched ó.ò
She does this so often, just watching how others react... She knows how hard it must be for Kiyoshi to see his mother again after two years and after all that had happened since Kiyoshi became a demon.
She saw Jack only once and she never talked to him and she hates him!
I will never forget the way she looked at Jack when she showed up at Yamachan’s Party before she left with Kiyoshi.
And Kiyoshi! The romantic Bar with Sebastian even increased - it’s the highest now! Then Jeb and then Jack? Kiyoshi was part of the household almost all the time and he shared so many romantic interactions with Jack. This is so strange. What is he doing when I log out? ö.Ö And Jeb wasn’t even in the list a few months ago.
Mr Ito: “The Council considers - under certain conditions - to pardon you and Ms Ngyen. If you agree to provide any relevant information about the vampire Vladimir Tepesz and what happened at Winter Solstice at the temple. You could work for the Council again, my son.”
Kiyoshi: “Your son is dead, Mr Ito.”
Scary Sister: “You really shouldn’t befriend those creatures, Kiyoshi.”
Kiyoshi: “I am one of those creatures.”
Kiyoshi really had other things to deal with. His fated mate - Jack...
He studied werewolves for almost two years now and his strategy to dominate Jack and become his Alpha eventually has not been as successful as he had hoped.
Even though Saiwa is a vampire, he is kind of Jack’s Alpha, and Jack trusts him and obeys him.
So it is possible for a demon like him to become Jack’s Alpha.
He needs to gather more information and try harder to make Jack trust - and love him!
(I’m not so sure if you can force this, Kiyoshi...)
It’s really hard for Kiyoshi, because he is no ‘natural’ leader, but Jack is a omega through and through, so Kiyoshi must take on the Alpha role in their relationship, if he wants it oder not or Jack will leave him in the end for a stronger Alpha. Well, that’s at least what Kiyoshi thinks... and maybe he's even right. It's hard for non-werewolves to understand how a pack works. *sigh*
It hit Kiyoshi hard that Jack doesn’t seem to love him enough to trust him.
Jack was broken when he saw that Kiyoshi is a demon.
And a few days before that, Jack broke up with him in the sancuary because Kiyoshi was not ready to tell him the truth.
Kiyoshi really wished he could have made their relationship more ‘durable’ before he tells Jack about the Laboratory.
But he was too afraid that Jack would leave him.
Same post with links to references -> here on my simblr.
Characters:
The three Witches
- Dtui Ngyen (the demon Mentor of Kiyoshi),
- Francine Spencer (Jeb’s grandmother) and
- Ms Rita Coombes (The Boys teacher and Dtui’s bonded)
All you must know about them is, that they know everything,
but do not (often ) interfere.
Why?
It might sound cruel, but the truth is, you can tell your kid a hundred times to not touch the hot stoven plate - it only learns it when it touches - once.
The Boys are supposed to lead the Resistance against the Council one day.
They won’t learn how to be strong, brave and smart by just telling them how to be.
They have to make their own experiences - and mistakes - to learn from them.
Vlad seems to know about it, but he get’s fooled sometimes too ^^’
On the wall behind the desk of my psychiatrist is written:
- change is a door that can only be opened from the inside -
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 madness 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.
Inspiration:
There are many ancient lores about the three female fatespinners (personifications of fate).

- Moirai
- Norns
and the three Witches from Shakespeare’s MacBeth

Comments
The boys are leaving Mount Komorebi!
I really enjoyed this chapter here.
How sad they are.
(The screenshot above is not edited ö.ö, no mods, no cc, no gshade/reshade)
We never found out why Sims spawn and vanish here at this point...
We can’t blame Yamachan for this, he’s in jail now and they still keep doing this...
Jack: “Good day! Can you please tell us where you came from and how you got here?”
Sim: “Sul sul! Oh, of course! I was just somewhere and suddenly I vanished and now I’m here! I have to go over there now, bye!”
Jack: “...”
Ji Ho: “This is a strange world we live in...”
Jack was stopping by Kiyoshi’s snow angel. He hadn’t heard of Kiyoshi since he left with his scary sister after Yamachan’s Party. He doesn’t even know if they are still together after their quarrels in the sanctuary and when Kiyoshi sent Luci away. There were the presents under the tree, though...
Outtakes
While Jack was standing there, Jeb texted him! :,(
Strange that Jeb picked Jack, they never interacted much ö.ö

Uh - what a contrast to Mount Komorebi!
Cheapest place to stay is the Strange Trailerpark, where Jeb lived while he was here two years ago to rescue the Kids!
Even though they are used to live at run down places, Jack is complaining. He has his limits, though. ^^’
But they don’t have enough money to stay elsewhere, so...
And then he scented a person he never wanted to be near again...
The Lab Staff who fed them to the cowplants two years ago!
And he is with Sebastian!
Who visited Kiyoshi at the temple!
(Jack does not know that Sebastian spies Kiyoshi for the council. He was just jealous that Kiyoshi was about to kiss Sebastian while Jack stayed at the temple after Vlad’s death ö.ö’).
Jack: “Sai! He is here! The Lab Staff!”
(They started to call Giga by his real name after they heard his story. They are determinded to bring Saiwa back to his old self to overcome his traumatic past so he’s able to help Jeb.)
Saiwa: “What??? How is this possible? After two years!”
Gianna: “Hey guys! This is Strangerville! The stuff to disguise yourselves is already included! Along with 3 free bugging devices and a voucher for the curio shop.”
Gianna: “Just check your trailer. Here are your keys - it’s trailer 1 and 3. Have a nice stay!”
(TMI: Gianna was Trailerpark Goofer too in my Strangerville Story.)
Uh, rain falling on my face
And washing off that sweat off
Making me cleaner than the dirt on ma high top
I suffer from the words you throw at me
But makes me tougher
Energetic youngster like me loves playing in muddy water
Looking back at what you said behind my back
Doesn't matter 'cause I'm a winner
Strong believer
24/7 with the members scoring goals like a team player
I execute the shadows all around me call me demon slayer
Feeling so fly, feeling so fly
Feeling so fly, feeling so fly
This my life style, this my life style (hey)
I'm breathing, working, moving
Sit down and listen for once
Muddy Water - Stray Kids
(TMI: I created the Lab Staff once as Felix from Stray Kids ^^’)

It had been a long and dusty ride from Mount Komorebi. Like Jeb two years ago, they hichhiked.
None of the trailers has a bathroom so they had to use the facilities in the main building. The youngest ones went to shower first because Ji Ho was longing for the pool and Sai and Vlad discussed how to proceed.
Gladly Jack scented the lab staff with his paranoid nose! Otherwise they would have run in a trap!
Vlad suggested to go alone to the lab, to not put the others in jeopardy and to keep Sai and Jack from facing their trauma again.
Of course Sai denied. They are in this together, as always.
Even more, now that they have to go through this without Kiyoshi and Jeb...
But if they disguise themselves, like the goofer suggested, no one would recognize them.
Omg Ji Ho! Well, they are wet anyway.
Their faces!
(Poor Jack is missing Kiyoshi so much. Even though he kept secrets from him and would come for him one day...)
It was decided that Sai and Jack stay together in one of the trailers so Jack can warn Sai if the lab staff or Sebastian come near them again.
Means: Vlad and Ji Ho together in the other trailer.
Means: A challenge for Vlad’s self control... As if it wasn’t hard enough to see Ji Ho swim...
Sai: “I wonder what sane people are doing right now...”
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

Seing Ji Ho like this remembered Vlad that he already overstretched his self control for today and he went for their trailer to calm down.
Sai called Ji Ho to his and Jack’s trailer.
Sai: “Ji Ho, when was the last time you and Vlad charged the bond?”
Ji Ho: “Uhm. Let’s see. That must have been New Year... Now that you mention it, I felt the drag from the bond, there just was no opportunity... you know.”
Sai: “I know it’s hard and I feel so sorry to ask you this. But you need to charge it very soon in case something goes wrong.
You can’t let you get weakened by the bond now. Plus a charged bond makes both of you stronger.
Since the Lab Staff and Sebastian are here and who knows else.
And Vlad would never aproach you to touch you. He is afraid to act inappropriate because you don’t love him, you know? So you are going to be responsible for this.”
Ji Ho: “Don’t worry! I’m going to figure out something with the minimum of awkwardness!”
Ji Ho went for a walk to ponder about his possibilities. This is not easy because the most interactions that include touching are ‘couple actions’.
These would be hurtful for Vlad because he loves Ji Ho so much. But he can never have him, because Ji Ho will always only love Luci...
On his way back he stopped by the reception desk to study the flyers. Bingo!
Ji Ho: “Hi. Can I rent trailer 2 for an hour?”
Goofer: “Sure!”
Ji Ho told Jack about his idea.
Jack: “Omg that’s brilliant! He’ll love this! I’ll send him over immediately!”
(What Jack thinks Vlad loves and what Vlad actually loves a two totally different pair of boots...)
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
Jack: “Have fun!”
Vlad: “Shut up!”
Jack: “I love you too!”
A massage studio in a trailer. We’ve seen stranger things, though...
Ji Ho thought this would be the least awkward. Since they already got a massage from Kiyoshi before the event on winter solstice...
Ji Ho was reminded of his time with Luci. He saw Luci naked almost every day when he used to care for him while Luci possessed Vlad’s body.
Meeting Luci again in the tavern, when Vlad had let him in, makes Ji Ho wonder if Luci is still somewhere in Vlads body, just not being able to show himself because Vlad is conscious.
Hearing Vlad moan brought Ji Ho back from daydreaming. Had he hurt Vlad undeliberatly?
Ji Ho: “Forgive me.” And then Ji Ho left.
Before Jack had sent Vlad over to the trailer, he told Vlad that Ji Ho told him that he had learned to give massages at 'The House of the rising Sun', where his mother used to work, to earn some money to pay the rent.
Argh, if Vlad ever get’s a grip on that landlord and owner from 'The House of the rising Sun' it needs more than wolf Jack to hold him back.
Outtakes
They can’t live in peace...
(I forgot to check what pyromaniac Jack was doing -.-)

Ji Ho knows he has to tell Sai that charging the bond went bit out of control.
The current situation with the council, Sebastian and the Lab Staff (and possible raiders in the abandoned lab) is far too serious.
There is too much at stake for them to place their mission in jeopardy by acting as unprofessional as he did.
Jack was eagerly waiting for him to hear about how it went...
Jack: “And? How was it?”
Ji Ho: “I fear I lost control. Somehow my mind blurred and I wasn’t aware anymore of what was real or not.
And I fear I hurt Vlad. I heard him moan and then I was conscious again. I’m sorry.”
Jack was quite sure Ji Ho did not hurt Vlad
Sai: “We should have seen this coming. We waited too long.
The Bond acts only for his own purposes. It takes no account on your feelings.
If you don’t ‘feed’ it voluntarly by charging it, the bond will knock you out and takes what it needs to survive.”
Jack: “You could even end up woohooing!”
Ji Ho: “What?” ö.ö’
Sai: “And that isn’t even the worst case. The bond could try to make you fall in love with Vlad to ensure it’s survival.
And then we’d be screwed. Because the curse would hit and kill you both!”
Sai: “I suggest, starting by tomorrow, we’ll charge the bond every day.
We need to protect Vlad.
Having those high peaks every few days plus the drag from the bond would be too hard for him to endure with all the feelings he has for you.
By charging every day he can get used to it - and you too.
Jack will attend the massages so you’ll both be safe.
And I will consult Noxeema about our disguises.”
Vlad was sitting at the porch of their trailer to read and calm down (and to avoid Ji Ho) and of course he heard everything (again...).
After all Ji Ho had to endure being bonded to him, a guy he doesn’t even love, he was worried he had hurt him.
Outtakes

After what he’d heard from Jack and Sai about the danger of the bond, Ji Ho needed some time alone and so he went for a walk.
Vlad was watching him from their trailer. There is nothing he can do to make him feel better and it makes him mad.
He even makes everything worse for Ji Ho.
If he could only bring Luci back from time to time. But Kiyoshi had burned the mixture and there was no other way he could think of.
Had the Bond tricked Ji Ho to make him think that Luci is still somewhere hidden in Vlad’s body to make it easier for him to touch Vlad and charge the bond?
Ji Ho misses Luci so much and the bond seems to know that.
It must be devastating for Vlad to know that when Ji Ho touches him, he longs for Luci instead.
It would be so much easier if he was able to love Vlad.
But if, they would be killed by the curse, so ... *sigh*
After Ji Ho had left, Sai and Jack are staring into the desert. Lost in their own sad thoughts.
None of them had heard anything from Kiyoshi and Jeb.
It’s over two weeks ago since they had left.
Vlad waited until Ji Ho returned from his walk and fell asleep until he dared to enter the trailer.
He couldn’t face him after what happened in Trailer 2.
Before he can set up his bed, he has to mop the puddles.
There must be a leaking pipe from the pool somewhere from the pool outside.
Speaking of Trailer 2. Vlad has a nice view on Trailer 2 and this reminds him that they are going to meet there again tomorrow to charge the bond. But Jack will be there too and watch over them - what a relief.
Vlad really hopes they’ll find a better solution soon. This is nerve wrecking for him to be this near to Ji Ho and to be touched by him.
But maybe Sai was right and they’ll get used to each other and it will be easier for them.
Sai and Jack look so tense - even in their sleep :,(
Tomorrow will be a hard day for them when they go back to the laboratory.
Outtakes
And then(!) I spotted this guy observing the trailer of Sai and Jack! And for some strange reasons he has the same haircolor and hairstyle as Lab Staff Felix from two years ago! But black eyebrows and a black beard. A disguise? ö.Ö
🎁 Best of Buydebug ☃️ Short trips to the Oggiverse - Short Clips 🎬 My Builds: Houses 🏘 Rooms 🛋 SciFi 👾 creatively edited Screenshots 🎨
After Sai sent Jack, Ji Ho and Vlad over to Trailer 2 to charge the bond, he called Noxeema.
Noxeema: “Huh? Wo wakes a girl in the middle of the night and disturbs her beauty sleep?”
Sai: “You don’t need such things as beauty sleep and it’s half past eight - in the morning...”
Noxeema: “Like i said - middle of the night. But I’ll forgive you because you said sweet things
She really doesn’t need beauty sleep
Sai: “Noxe, we need your advice on a disguise, we just have the basics here and not much money... *explains their situation* “
Noxeema: “Oh! This sounds fun! I have a marvellous idea! *tells Sai* “
Sai: “Gods! This is fantastic! Thank you! See you at the ‘cattle market’!”
Noxeema: “Oh! I can’t wait to see my babies again!”
It really was so much easier having Jack with them. He was babbling about an upcoming ‘cattle market’ in Moonwood Mill and about young werewolves finding their packs and fights and soon the hour was over.
The bond didn’t try any tricks on them this time.

TMI: When I did this with the Boys and the Beatles’ Abbey Road,
Ji Ho got bitten by Genji and Vlad died, Vlad had to claim Ji Ho back from Genji and initialised the Bond, Vlad died again because Ji Ho’s blood was poisonous for him, went to hell, Ji Ho fell in love with Luci, who possessed Vlad’s body and Vlad came back from hell - blind.
So I’m a bit afraid of the things to come lol

With their disguise they felt safe enough to explore StrangerVille.
Sai decided he needs a new suit though, because that shirt looked silly!
(Really EA, the selection on male clothes is already limited and then 2/3 of them have such extremely silly fits, they are unusable -.- even on sims with almost perfect proportions. Look at the sports trousers from Ji Ho in the background, another example.)
sigh
This must be the same side street where Jeb started his research to rescue them two years ago.
Sai is glad he wears dark glasses, because he can’t avoid the tears in his eyes.
Jeb is still lost somewhere out there, blaming himself.
Our backs are now against the wall?

They were looking through the stands and shops for something useful. (And they still have their voucher to spend from the trailerpark.)
Jack: “Oh a Crabby Bottom Armadillo! I want it! And here are books too! ‘The Untold Mysteries of StrangerVille’ and ‘Crystal Vu’s Top Secret Inventions’!”
Sai: “The books - ok. Armadillo - no!”
Jack: “Sai - please! This woman pushed in front of me and she’s going to buy it first!”
Sai: “There is no use for this thing!”
Jack: “What? That's not true! Look, the description says: a Crabby Bottom Armadillo is always there to cheer you up! If you ever need to put a smile on your face, stare into this Armadillo’s confused little eyes. He never disapproves of you, and is always there to make you laugh!

There is this popular restaurant they wanted to try out.
Ji Ho, Jack and Sai occupied their tables and sent Vlad to order the food from the grumpy cook, since he doesn’t eat anyway.
Vlad: “Hey! My eyes are up here!”
This restaurant has little nooks for singles. You can eat there alone without beiing ogled by the other guests.
(I saw this a few times in dramas and i had to build it. That’s too cute ^^’)
And then this little brat stole the table and the chairs! I really hate this! ò.ó

After dinner Vlad and Ji Ho observed the streets from the bookshop...
and read the books Jack bought. (This guy looks familiar somehow ...)
Sai and Jack went to the internet cafe.
Sai was trying to find the blueprints Jeb wrote about how to find the secret entrance to the Lab.
He sat opposite a strange guy...
Jack was reading the manual of his Crabby Bottom Armadillo...
Jack: “Saiwa, did you know that the word armadillo means ‘little armored one’ in Spanish?”
Sai sighs...
Aleki: “Hey Enrico, are you ready here? Let’s head for the diner.”
Enrico: "Sure, Aleki!"
Aleki? Enrico? The Aleki and Enrico? The friends of Jeb who broke in into the Lab with him two years ago to rescue Saiwa and Jack aka the Kids?
They told Enrico and Aleki who they were and that they know Jeb. Aleki and Enrico told them where the secret entrance is and Sai and Jack promised to meet them at the diner after their ‘mission’ to chat a bit.

They were standing at the same place looking at the Lab as Jeb and Kiyoshi two years ago...
Jack: “Ji Ho, did you know that the nine-banded armadillo can hold its breath for about six minutes allowing it to walk underwater for short distances?”
Ji Ho: “Really? Wow!”
(They are so tense and anxious and Jack is doing his puppy strategy again to distract them and lighten up the mood. Even if he’s the most frightened himself. :,(
Vlad and Ji Ho are going to search the part of the lab where Jack and Sai were held captive. They won’t let them face this location again. It’s hard enough for them as it is.
It was even almost unbearable for Ji Ho and Vlad. Knowing what their friends had to endure here and the damage that they had taken that still affects their lifes.
Sai: “Jack, full concentration on your nose! Warn me as soon as you scent someone!”
Jack: “Ok!”
But then Jack saw the name plate on the desk.
‘Ito K.’
Jack was paralyzed.
Kiyoshi.
He had been here. Therefore he was so secretive all the time!
He was not working against the council, he was working for the council!
How could he have been so stupid and trusted him!
Against all the alarm bells that were ringing inside his head!
It would kill Saiwa if he ever finds out. He trusted Kiyoshi too.
Oh gods and Ji Ho worshipped Kiyoshi, even Vlad liked him!
How could they have been so blind!
He can’t tell them, it would kill them.
Jack needs to kill Kiyoshi before he ever comes near them again.
(Jack and the others don’t know the story of Kiyoshi and Dtui.
And that the two were involved in their rescue two years ago.)

Sebastian: “Told you they would come back one day.”
Felix: “It’s not them. Quick, lock the door! They must be in the other lab.”
Vlad: “ - censored - “
Felix: “Here you are. Trying to make me jobless again?”
(It seems Felix took his job a bit too serious? Had he been waiting here for them for two years even after the lab closed down? ö.Ö)
Ji Ho has a closer connection to the Bond than Vlad.
(It’s maybe because of their ying/yang personalities?
Ji Ho is more intuitive and Vlad more logical.)
Ji Ho let the Bond take control.
Vlad looks so confused, but he gave in ^^’
This bond is really something else!
It had switched them!
And now Felix and Sebastian are trapped!

Sai: “What happened? How did you do this?”
Vlad had other problems...
Vlad: "Jack! You had one job! Why didn’t you warn us?”
Sai: “It’s my fault. We shouldn’t have brought him here. He’s still traumatized. I’m sorry Jack :,( ”
Jack can’t tell them that he found out that Kiyoshi had tortured them here...
Felix: “We’re trapped! The Lab runs on emergency power. The door doesn’t react on my device! And the anti magic devices are out of order too! They are going to kill us!”
Vlad: “We are going to kill them! If they escape and tell the council about us...”
Jack: “Oh no! We won’t go down this road, Vlad! I told you why!”
(uhm Jack?... And what about you killing Kiyoshi?)
Sai: “The anti magic devices are turned off, we have our powers and we are going to use them! We will mesmerize them for a few hours, they will forget everything if we act quickly and leave eventually with nothing to tell.
And we are going to the diner. We are going to have a nice meal and a nice chat with Enrico and Aleki! Let’s go!”
Sai: “Ready?”
Vlad nods.
Sai: “Let’s eat!”
It’s so good to see the old Saiwa coming back. Ready to deal with his past and not hiding himself anymore. He’s doing this for Jeb too. He doesn’t seem to find a way out of his slump alone :,(
I think this will be a great step forward in his and Jeb’s relationship. If Jeb still wants Saiwa after he told him what happened to him.

Roswell’s Diner
Aleki and Enrico waited for them.
Enrico: “Hey Jeb! A round of donuts and coffee for the officers here!”
Sai: “? Jeb ?”
Jeb: ‘Omg Officers? Are they coming for me?’
Sai: “Omg Jeb!”
Sai: “Jeb! Wait!”
Sai: “Argh - Jeb! It’s me!”
Sai: “Jeb! Wait! It’s me - your Giigs!”
But Jeb kept on running. He can’t face his Giigs.
Saiwa is broken.
Aleki and Enrico promised to call them if they find Jeb again.
So Jeb has been hiding in StrangerVille all the time after he left Sai at Mount Komorebi. And he had been with his old friends Aleki and Enrico and worked at the diner :,(

A strange dark sun was rising over StrangerVille.
Vlad and Ji Ho went over to Trailer 2 to charge the bond. It was a major effort to switch them out of the lab and they feel the drain from the bond.
They went alone though. Jack and Sai went over their limits too this night, so they let them sleep and try to stay focussed.
And while Ji Ho was just applying the massage oil on his hands, Barfolomew looked through the window! ö.Ö
Barfolomew: “Are you crazy? What are you doing? Willingly summoning the curse upon you to kill you? And why are you even here? Unprotected!
You were supposed to stay safe at Mount Komorebi and work on your projects until school starts again!”
Barfolomew: “You can’t believe how upset the others are since Kiyoshi and Jeb are lost too! They scolded me for not being able to take care of you anymore! You know what that means?”
Barfolomew: “They are going to send you to a boarding school as soon as the ‘Cattle Market’ is over! They are even talking about to split you up!”
Vlad: “What?”
Barfolmew: “Now go and get dressed and pack your stuff. We’re leaving!”
What? Leaving the Space Bar and Barfolomew? And go to a boarding school?
Maybe not even together? :,(

We have a little time until the ‘Cattle Market’ takes place, so we take a look what happened when Kiyoshi left with his scary sister after he rescued Jack and Ji Ho at Yamachan’s Party a few weeks ago.
Mrs Ito, their mother: “Kiyoshi!”
Kiyoshi’s sister is the scariest kid I ever saw in all my sims games ö.ö’
I’m quite sure she wasn’t supposed to attend Kiyoshi’s execution, but she was there and watched ó.ò
She does this so often, just watching how others react... She knows how hard it must be for Kiyoshi to see his mother again after two years and after all that had happened since Kiyoshi became a demon.
She saw Jack only once and she never talked to him and she hates him!
I will never forget the way she looked at Jack when she showed up at Yamachan’s Party before she left with Kiyoshi.
And Kiyoshi! The romantic Bar with Sebastian even increased - it’s the highest now! Then Jeb and then Jack? Kiyoshi was part of the household almost all the time and he shared so many romantic interactions with Jack. This is so strange. What is he doing when I log out? ö.Ö And Jeb wasn’t even in the list a few months ago.
Mr Ito: “The Council considers - under certain conditions - to pardon you and Ms Ngyen. If you agree to provide any relevant information about the vampire Vladimir Tepesz and what happened at Winter Solstice at the temple. You could work for the Council again, my son.”
Kiyoshi: “Your son is dead, Mr Ito.”
Scary Sister: “You really shouldn’t befriend those creatures, Kiyoshi.”
Kiyoshi: “I am one of those creatures.”
Kiyoshi really had other things to deal with. His fated mate - Jack...
He studied werewolves for almost two years now and his strategy to dominate Jack and become his Alpha eventually has not been as successful as he had hoped.
Even though Saiwa is a vampire, he is kind of Jack’s Alpha, and Jack trusts him and obeys him.
So it is possible for a demon like him to become Jack’s Alpha.
He needs to gather more information and try harder to make Jack trust - and love him!
(I’m not so sure if you can force this, Kiyoshi...)
It’s really hard for Kiyoshi, because he is no ‘natural’ leader, but Jack is a omega through and through, so Kiyoshi must take on the Alpha role in their relationship, if he wants it oder not or Jack will leave him in the end for a stronger Alpha. Well, that’s at least what Kiyoshi thinks... and maybe he's even right. It's hard for non-werewolves to understand how a pack works. *sigh*
It hit Kiyoshi hard that Jack doesn’t seem to love him enough to trust him.
Jack was broken when he saw that Kiyoshi is a demon.
And a few days before that, Jack broke up with him in the sancuary because Kiyoshi was not ready to tell him the truth.

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 madness you are going through is good for in the end!
