《A Solangelo Alphabet》I - Italian
Advertisement
"Merda." Nico cursed in Italian. He was trying to help Will in the infirmary by cutting bandages but he kept messing up. They were either too big or too small or something. "What's that mean?" Will asked absent-mindedly. Two Ares campers had gotten in a fight earlier in the day and one was fine, but the other had a fairly nasty cut on his arm. Will was applying some type of medication to the wound. "Nothing appropriate." Nico muttered. "Alright James. You can go. Don't be fighting and you won't have to worry about this." Will told the boy. He nodded and left the infirmary. Will turned his full attention to Nico. "Seriously, what's it mean? I kinda want to learn Italian. You speak it a lot. And to be honest, it kinda turns me on." Nico blushed hard. "Well, it's a bad word." Nico said. "But I'll teach you if you really want to learn." Will laughed. "It's a bad word? What are we, six?" He stuck his bottom lip out. "My mommy said I can't say that. She said it's a bad word." Nico had to laugh. Will came over and sat down beside him on an empty cot, pushing all of the bandages Nico had cut to the side. "So, what's my first lesson, Mr. Di Angelo?" Will asked. Nico rolled his eyes. "Okay, well, what do you want to learn?" Nico asked. "Um... What's medic? Oh, and music? And Apollo?" Nico grinned. "Okay, medic is medico." Will nodded slowly. "Medico. I'm a medico." Nico laughed. "Good. Okay, music is musica." Will nodded again, saying the word slowly. "And Apollo is still Apollo." Will nodded. "Simple enough. How do you say I am?" Nico grinned, happy Will was excited to learn. "Sono."

"Okay. Sono Will Solace." Nico nodded. "Good!" Will grinned as his ears turned red. "Sono medico." Nico nodded again. "Okay, what is you are?"
"Tu sei."
"Tu sei Nico di Angelo." Will said. Nico was impressed. "What's my?" Will asked. "Il mio." Nico replied. "Boyfriend?" Will asked. "Fidanzato." Nico said, a smile creeping back across his face. "I love you?"
"Ti amo."
Will cleared his throat. "To sei il mio fidanzato. Ti amo." Nico grinned even bigger. "Ti amo anch'io Will." Will grinned. "You know I'll probably all this by tomorrow morning." He said. Nico laughed and shrugged. "Oh well." He said before leaning in to kiss Will.

Beta Test
I'm sure I'm in for some colorful criticism, But if even a few people enjoy this, I'd be happy. As of right now the story is set in Delaware around 2005'ish'. A young man from the streets, aquires a beta test invitation in an unorthodox way. The plan is to have a comical adventure in an experimental virtual reality game. I can easily transition it to a full story if its well received. If not I hope atleast one person kinda likes it. P.s. This is a work of fiction, with made up characters. Any likeness is coincidence.

Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
