SLAVE SIBLINGS.

[powersthatare]

Senator's Slave: Cass.
Priest's Slave: Yosuke.
Priest: Ambrose.
Senator: ???
Expected Activity: Regular Activity.
Social Status: Slaves.

Information: Siblings, sold into slavery at a young age to cover their parents' debts, these two have wound up on opposing corners of a social squabble. Cassia, as a gladiatrix, is a celebrity, with access to money, luxury, comfort, and education - in many social situations, she's on nearly equal terms with members of any class. While Cassia tours with a retinue from her master's household, the master himself generally remains in Rome.

The priest's slave, much more humble and domestic in his means, his master's social secretary, would see Ambrosius' star ascend. This agenda is stymied by every nobleman who would privilege urban over rural and who takes the effort to show up rustic efforts at class and sophistication - and Cassia's master, puppet-mastering from afar, is the foremost obstacle to the ambitions this slave holds for his master.

Despite being siblings, these two and their agenda find themselves in opposition, without the knowledge or direct involvement of their masters being necessary. And advancement in one household's position is likeliest to come at the expense of the other...

Exclusive Skill: Imposing Presence. The ability to be taken seriously and hold a crowd's attention despite any social circumstances. This does not imply good treatment or agreement - only fixed and continued attention.

OKAY with some figuring he's a resort town local augur who does private auspice reading for the wealthy who is looking to go big league and stare at goats birds for the state.

GOAL: reading the auspices for the Ludi Piscatorii festival. He wants announce how the fish fry will go. So much.

Re: SLAVE SIBLINGS.

[wildmagician]

Would it be alright if Antamonides succeeded in getting Ambrosius to read auspices for the fish fry? This coming as a question for the mods and you as, well, he's worked very hard off-screen, even if I haven't played it out that he's been talking here and there.

Like, potential SUCCESS?!

Re: SLAVE SIBLINGS.

[wholeheaded]

I'm in favor of it as well! Or if there's any other goal the mods have in mind so we don't lock it down this mingle, that works too.

Re: SLAVE SIBLINGS.

[powersthatbe]

Checking in!

Unless something changes or it's absolutely not an option for some reason from y'all, I think we're going with Junia's grandfather being the senator in question?

[wholeheaded]

I am fine with that!
