(April 20th)

So....that was a bust. Some people are coming back after going home while others are waking from their dreams. Night is falling, so you better catch up with the vagabonds that stayed behind and get all who's come back together once again. There's plenty of shelter around, so just pick a building. Have a reunion.

[hook you're going to get smeared and then i wont even feel bad but i never really do so...]

[idk man i missed all the exposition with david bowie and my brains are scrambled]

Uh. [fuck.]

[risebeyond]

[ doesn't even listen to hook's jab before rearing his head back and letting out a beastly laugh. almost a mwahahaha kind of laugh ]

The champion of Capua rises to glory once more. [ steps away from hook and offers his hand to help him up ] You, too, were chosen? You dress strange for gladiators.

[cabineyes]

[ laughs too? what the fuck now. ]

[ takes his hand and pulls himself up, silently grunting of pain. ]

Gladiators?

[recurred]

[well okay if it works]

[this looks funny with hooks pants half down]

We've been taken from many different places.

[risebeyond]

[ you're all overdressed as far as he's concerned

grabs hook's gay coat and gives it a pull, looking over it a little curious before turning to clara ]

But you are not a Roman, are you? [ he'll gut u ]

[cabineyes]

[ thanks for wrecking my shit. makes a face at the back of his head. ]

[ also pulls up his pants. later clara. ]

[recurred]

[LMAO LATER. she's just momentarily very distracted by the man wall over here. holy hot mama]

...No, no I'm certainly not Roman. [clears throat]

I'm Clara Oswald. [nods over to hook]

That's Hook, Captain Hook.

[risebeyond]

[ your pants are weird and tight, little man. how do you fight in those? ]

You bare stranger name than your cloth, Clara Oswald. [ sheathes his gladius and lays the shield on the floor, leaning against it ] I am Crixus. Come, tell me: what do the Gods ask us to do.

[cabineyes]

[ i don't do much fighting but when i do i take them off. eyes the gladius. impressive. ]

To find someone, we assume. Returning home is out of the question before we accomplish our mission.

[recurred]

[returns back to her seat]

That's about it. We've been traveling some time getting there.

[risebeyond]

[ doesn't sound so bad. freedom to pursuit glory, away from fucking romans and slavers; he must return home, however, to bring naevia to safety but that can be accomplished after pleasing higher entities ]

This looks like a sorry bunch for the pursuit of one person. [ is he a warrior
i'll have him. ]

[recurred]

Excuse you. We're every bit as capable. [ no we aren't]

[risebeyond]

[ looks at her, head to toe, and laughs. he's very rude ]

You take me for a fool? [ gestures at the camp ] A lesser man than I could take all and you would fall dead to sand. How long have you been here?

[recurred]

[dont challenge her. she's way more willing to mud wrestle you than she should be]

A month roughly. It's no walk in the park either. I assure you, you need more than muscle to survive a place like this.

[risebeyond]

[ she'd

she'd fly. ]

A month? [ he laughs a little again and tilts his head, smiling amusedly ] And yet you walk on such little legs. Tell me, what does this place have that could pose challenge to a gladiator?

[recurred]

[leans forward to rest her arms across her knees]

All sorts of nasty things. Creatures from the underworld. Gods that test you. We've yet to have a gladiator, so I guess we'll see how much better than us you are when the time comes. It's not a competition, we just want to go home.

[risebeyond]

[ ur gon give him a boner

smiles widely at the notion of fighting off nasty things ] Not a competition? [ u know nothing jon snow ] Life is a competition. If you do not aim to become the champion, it is not worth to live.

[ he takes in a deep breath and looks around ]

Who leads these men into quest?

[recurred]

[well that question kills her sass. he's not...we dont have our leader anymore. he's off boning angels or whatever.]

Usually it's the mapholder, and they are currently scouting.

[risebeyond]

That is a poor decision to make one a leader.

[ you guys are really useless. this is the bunch the gods chose? preposterous! ]

[recurred]

It made sense at the time, considering they know where we need to go next. It used to be more than that, but...things have changed.

[risebeyond]

They know where to go next? Do they not share this map with the others? [ this is insulting. what kind of brotherhood is this! ] I shall have word with this mapholder.

[armedarchaeologist]

So I sealed off the room as best I could and left a note on the door in English and Sumerian because those are the only written languages I've holy God uh.

[rounds the corner expositing sadly and then looks up at new guy. and further up. apparently he's down a stair. or crouching. or something.]

Uh. New friend?

[please be a friend.]

[recurred]

Daniel, this is Crixus. Crixus, this is Daniel.

[lets not tell him you have the map, he might wipe your face with the floor]

[risebeyond]

[ squints eyes

what the fuck is that in your face. ]

[armedarchaeologist]

Hi Crixus.

[you look... oily. did the romans shake hands? he's pretty sure they did the xena handshake. holds out a hand, although. obviously he's armed. it's the thought that counts.]

I'm Daniel Jackson, I'm an explorer from the planet Earth. Colorado. America. 2007.

[wow is he kind of naked.]

...AD.
