*̲ ⋅ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒊𝒕 :
vero was only seven when he was made to take after the selachians of the sea: swashbuckling thieves that cared none as to whether they sailed north or east, nor south or west; wherever their compass carried them, there were surely fortunes to be found and if there weren’t, the people they had captured were useful enough. he had been thrown into deep, creature infested waters in traditional test to see if he could manage on his own. he’d gasp and sputter the salts of the sea, thin legs flailing and unruly hair plastered against his forehead as he tried his best to appease the ones who’d done it without mercy - his parents. his eldest siblings would turn their chin down, eyes narrowed with half expectancy and half anticipating failure. the littlest would cry out for someone to help him, only to be answered with a shove to quiet down. no one will be there to help. he had to learn. they’d leave him to his devices after a moment of panicked splashing, getting absolutely nowhere, not daring to move in fear that any lingering animal would grab at his legs like wounded prey. the piercing cold didn’t help stir numbing limbs either. they would turn away from the edge of the ship and continue on with their duties, worrying none for the son that stood overboard. vero had set it in his mind then. the sea was his and his alone.
as vero grew from child to man, he vowed to use what had been gained from silent observance and cunning trickery to master quick hands, as clever and smooth as the seafolk that forged him. it would all lead to their greatest downfall. the frailest of their children had become the very rival that would overturn their power, seizing their ship and claiming the crew that once spat at his feet ( sparing the youngest and gravely injuring the two eldest ). wielding many a sharp weapon and swiping purses from the belts of those who bragged about never having been fooled. a siren who used a gentle, pretty face to best the burliest of men and most brilliant of women. the peak of piracy, taking what was his and slaughtering the name of anyone who dared to avenge stolen riches. his greed and deception led him be known among the reefs and eventually, the shore. a slip of paper would roll upon his desk on a stormy night, carved in red ink and sealed shut with the thickest of wax. therein read an offer; a deal. become one with the land, labor for me and dig into the secrets of the elite. find your way into the royal family and we will both find what we are looking for. i, the throne. and you, everything you’ve ever wished.
and so it was agreed. vero would band with two other men, all skilled in their own proclivities and creating a pact that they would do anything, spout any fable and fool anyone if it meant worming their way into the circle of the french nobility. vero’s chance would present itself at the stories of an upcoming rebellion, watching as the new generation tore down conquistadors and any tyrannical group that took down innocent ships. he saw an opportunity to attack one night when they’d been recuperating from a battle fought the evening of; replenishing what was left of their stock and patching up any flaws to their ship. he used the cover of night to dismantle their crew, nearly taking more wins than losses of men. however, despite. their exhaustion, vero’s crew was bested and at once, they were all caught. they’d been brought to their knees with sweaty locks gripped between the fingers of a scowling seafarer. the sharp end of a sword met at vero’s throat, belonging to a young man of sunkissed cheeks and windswept curls. the conniving siren would stare up at him, eyes pools of black. of wonder. there was his way in.
with the intention to have vero properly dealt with by his father, diego had intended to set sail to sicily. home. however, being that there were a sudden lack of hands to aid in the repair and journey back, vero was forced to serve every need of the crew; a form of punishment until his final sentencing.
through tsunamic waves that threatened to set the ship off course they’d sail as one, earning an array of permanent scarring and grunts of brute strength to hold the boat in place. shallow currents provided the perfect excuse to dock and venture out onto unfamiliar islands, diego stopping to show vero the joy, trust, and community that he and his father had guided and fostered among the sicilian people. by the time they returned home, vero had captured his heart. the most perfect plan. a success. diego declared the desire to commit them for eternity and despite his father’s suspicions about vero’s intentions, he gave them his blessing and they married not long after.
a domino effect of life. first the passing of his father in law, then diego’s coronation as sicily’s new monarch. they’d adopt children together, even having their biological child via a surrogate. it all came far too fast for him to catch breath. he’d never seen himself as a father. as a husband. never even saw himself getting this far ( a reoccuring jest among his crew that he wouldn’t live past 40 ). and yet here he stood. and he’s … . happy ?
every time that he looks at his husband he cannot get enough. as if seeing him for the first time all over again. everytime his children pass by his heart swells and he’s not sure if it’s healthy for it to grow that much in size. the men who’d made the pact have grown weary of his idleness, hunting him down and finding the perfect moment to ambush him; threatening to bring harm if he doesn’t deliver his promise. a fool - proof plan foiled by the surge of warmth that had been shown to a once savage beast. but, he is in love. with all of it. a sea creature with claws for hands, gripping onto life with a wild thirst. every waking moment that he is with family he is consumed by guilt, knowing that he is far too gone. the choice is yet to be made: fight alone with the risk of death, unable to tell his kin as to why … . . or bear the truth and reap the consequences.

Aca Top 10: Video Games — VoicePlay music video
Legend has it that video games helped keep the boys of 4:2:Five out of trouble during their early touring days. And photographic evidence indicates that it continued well into the VoicePlay era. But gaming isn't just about passing time and bonding with friends when you're a traveling musician. It can also be a source of inspiration for a wildly entertaining musical medley.
Details:
title: Aca Top 10 — Video Games
original songs: [0:07] HALO theme (2002); [0:26] Angry Birds theme (2009); [0:44] Pokémon Red & Blue opening theme (1996); [0:56] Minecraft theme (2009); [1:08] Final Fantasy main theme (1987); [1:22] "Dragonborn" from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011); [1:40] "Type A" theme from Tetris (1988); [1:56] "Mortal Kombat (Techno-Syndrome)" from Mortal Kombat (1992); [2:14] Legend of Zelda overworld theme (1987); [2:50] Pong sound effects (1972); [2:57] Super Mario Bros. overworld theme (1985)
written by: HALO theme by Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori; Angry Birds theme by Ari Pulkkinen; Pokémon Red & Blue theme by Junichi Masuda; Minecraft theme by Daniel "C418" Rosenfeld; Final Fantasy main theme by Nobuo Uematsu; "Dragonborn" Skyrim theme by Jeremy Soule; Tetris "Type A" theme based on Russian folk song "Korobeiniki", arranged by Hirokazu Tanaka; "Mortal Kombat (Techno-Syndrome)" by Maurice "Praga Khan" Engelen & Olivier Adams; Legend of Zelda overworld theme by Koji Kondo; Pong sound effects created by Allan Alcorn; Super Mario Bros. overworld theme by Koji Kondo
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci & Layne Stein
release date: 24 February 2015
My favorite bits:
the 8-bit logo during the intro, and Layne making sound effects for Earl's requisite Mountain Dew
all of them bopping around to some degree during the Angry Birds section
Twitch streamer Layne and his adorable laugh
impressively whistling in three-part harmony for Tetris
Earl button mashing like a filthy casual, then covering his eyes during the gory fatality part
Layne using ingressive phonation to replicate the digitized voice effect at the end of Mortal Kombat
techo remix Zelda!
Geoff working so hard to not laugh after doing his part of the Pong bit
Tony just watching and having snacks during the Mario section because the 8-bit music didn't provide a part for him to sing
Trivia:
○ Several of these pieces have appeared in later VoicePlay videos:
They did a full version of the HALO theme with founding 4:2:Five member Scott Porter in 2021 as a tribute to a departed friend.
Adriana Arellano and Cesar De La Rosa joined them for a short, soothing rendition of the Minecraft theme.
They added a sample of the main Skyrim theme to their cover of "The Dragonborn Comes" with Omar Cardona.
The guys included a snippet of "Still Alive" over the patron roll just as a fun bonus for themselves, but it received such an enthusiastic response from fans that they recorded a full version of it during their first PartWork series.
They integrated elements of the original NES Mario theme and sound effects into their arrangement for "Peaches" from the 2023 Super Mario Bros. movie.
○ Apparently, Geoff cracking up during the Pong bit caused several outtakes. (Good thing they were all filmed separately, so he was the only one who had to start over when he broke.)
○ Their wardrobe represents a few different video game franchises.
Tony has a Pikachu hat from Pokémon.
Eli is repping an old-school Atari logo shirt, which was already part of his regular wardrobe.
Geoff wears a Minecraft creeper shirt from Hot Topic.
Earl is sporting a Mega Man shirt.
Layne has a subtle Minecraft hoodie with enderman eyes on the hood from ThinkGeek.

INTRO (NOTA DEL AUTOR)
CAP I (SCILLA) - CAP II - CAP III - CAP IV
Ya que no pude subir la última semana, decidí subir este fin de semana el siguiente cápitulo ^^
El calor de la noche en la playa inundaba gran parte de la mansión.
Seguramente quien caminara por los bellos y grandes jardines de aquel recinto podría sentir la brisa y el aroma de aquellas cientos de rosas y claveles, incluso estando en el balcón se podría respirar una deliciosa fragancia ya que cada una de las puertas había sido decorada con distintas flores. Era algo romántico para algunos, para otros sería solo una manera de presumir todo el dinero que controlaba aquel joven empresario.
En el interior de la mansión era otra historia; muy pocas luces estaban encendidas ya que no había muchas personas viviendo ahí. De los tres pisos y una pequeña casa en el exterior, solo se podía ver movimiento en esta última; seguramente era donde la servidumbre vivía. La mansión en sí era obscura y silenciosa, el cuerpo de vigilancia y policía habían retirado todos sus aparatos y dejando solo las cámaras que el mismo Julián tenía desde hace años. Nadie más les vigilaba, por la misma razón nadie había escuchado una de las ventanas abrirse y cómo dos hombres entraron por ella. La habitación era finamente decorada, así que el señor Sergio se acercó a las sabanas para tocarlas.
—Vaya, incluso los invitados son tratados como reyes.
Su compañero, el señor Rodrigo, entraba ahora para después cerrar la ventana. No dijo absolutamente nada al decidir seguir su camino hacia la puerta de aquella habitación. Deathmask le siguió sin más.
—Espero que hayan apagado las cámaras. —bromeó al ver una de ellas. Pero su amigo seguía sin contestar. —Oye, en verdad estas celoso de que tengo una cita y tú no, ¿cierto?
—Cállate, es en serio. —Ahora Shura se detenía un poco serio. —¿Por qué estaría celoso de una chica que apenas conocimos? Lo que pasa es que eres muy ruidoso, harás que nos atrapen.
