《The war of the Gods》Artemis and Apollo(part 3)
Advertisement
The boy from the dancefloor now stood before him, so close that Apollo could reach out and touch him. Apollo wanted to caress his cheek the way he'd done with Hyacinthus but he knew that would come off as unwanted. He was also afraid of these feelings. Most of the time these feelings lead to disaster, death and loss. He'd kept his eyes from wandering for far too long. It was too painful to endure unrequited love or to lose love. He had too many enemies. Besides that, what if this was just another pretty babble that he could not gain affections for? He had a tendency to be attracted to anything pretty and as such he knew he fell in and out of love with the changing of a season. When Artemis pulled out his wallet and ordered more drinks, the boy shot a smirk at Apollo that made him want to bite that bottom lip of his. They were full and flushed with the heat he'd generated from dancing. The boy covered Artemis's view with his hand and mouthed 'I like her.' Apollo smirked and rolled his eyes making the boy laugh softly. It was like music. It was a happy, carefree laugh. There was little of that laugh going round.
"I'm Reece, Reece Turner. Also, your names are so cool. Like the Sun and Moon Gods right?" Artemis turned around with the drinks in hand and the wallet pinched between index and middle finger offering both items to her twin while she exchanged a look with Apollo then turned her eyes back to Reece. Apollo dropped his eyes to his drink and forced the smile to remain neutral.
"That's right." Apollo finally said. "And just like the stories, we are twins as well. Not many people pay attention to those stories."

"Oh. My friend is obsessed with all things geek." Reece waved his hand then lifted his glass. "Cheers."
Artemis and Apollo followed, clinking their glasses. "You mean Greek." Artemis corrected taking a sip of her drink.
There was a moment's pause where Reece looked between the two of them confused. "No...no. I mean Geek. He is an absolute nerd. He's into all sorts of geeky things like History and music and Science."
The twins looked at one another once more. There was a another word to add to their vocabulary then. Geek. "Well, Apollo is ... er into music. He's a music professor at the University of Washington and a famous violinist."
Reece's eyes widenened at Artemis's words. "No way. That's where Jamie goes to school. He's doing a degree in music history. You might be one of his professors."
Apollo's face fell upon hearing this. Despite being Gods, they were forced to follow the rules of human society, meaning Students and Professors were not to have relationships. He couldn't help but ask the question though and the light flicker of hope bubbled inside of him.
"And you, Reece? Where do you go to school?"
It was Reece's turn to look slightly disappointed and a shrugged rolled off his shoulders.
"I don't. I uh... teach Salsa to middle aged house wives and their husbands in a back alley dance studio." Reece answered dejectedly but it is exactly the answer Apollo wanted to hear. "But as soon as I make enough money, I'm going to NYC. I'm going to Julliard." Again Apollo had to hide his expression. Reece wasn't going to New York. Reece wasn't going anywhere but his bed. Reece would become his....

Briars and Thorns
Millenia ago, humanity faced a catastrophe. Some devastating, catastrophic event that even to this day leaves its impact on humankind and the Earth. That’s not where our story takes place though, instead we look to space, where humans have taken up residence among the stars. Living in huge industrial space stations, life is a bore. Dull daily routines are broken only by extravagant fashion, music, and other means of self expression. Also, of course, the lifeblood of the stations- games. Four months ago, humanity was contacted by the first ever known alien life forms. These aliens, calling themselves the Erta offered their designs and schematics for their True Virtual Reality (TVR) console, as well as access to their game in exchange for peace. And humanity, excited at the opportunity to achieve one of their life long dreams (that is, to experience True VR), graciously took them up on their offer. Now, after scientists have finally confirmed the console to be safe for humans, the game is to finally be released to the public. This comes to the joy of most of the population, but a small portion of them can't help but be upset. As thousands of the researchers meant to be developing virtual reality, are fired overnight. Meet Brian Reed, one of these newly unemployed workers. Now, join Brian as he explores the very game that was the death of his job. And watch as he learns that the game is not quite what it seems.

Eusocial
There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.

His time in the fight pits of New Idaho mean he has a strong Neural-Affinity for melee combat, but the unfamiliar martial arts world of Wind of the Eight Kingdoms will take more than a brawler's instinct to master. If he's ever going to gather up his old crew and take revenge on the jerks who brought down BlackStar he'll need to become top dog in dozens of game worlds, especially if he doesn't want to starve while doing it. At least he's still got his reflexes, his two girlfriends on different sides of the planet, and his real-world pet cat, Mancini.
