An Orgy To Kill/Dialogues

Two weeks have passed since the last case, and Marionette is seen Iris-messaging Madelina while they’re both doing their makeup...

* + Madelina (presenting her face): I can’t wait for Zachary to see me! How do you think I look?
	+ Marionette (thinking): I think you look alright. I just think you should try on a more glamorous hairstyle, and the makeup looks a little light...
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): Yeah... But we’re having our date during Mia’s first theatre act, and you know... I don’t want her to think I’m trying to one-up her...
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): Mia?! I thought you hated that bitch!
	+ Madelina (eye rolling): It’s not that I hate her... She just dislikes me for some reason and nothing I do seems to please her...
	+ Madelina (awkward grin): But I think we’re cool now! I mean... She’s still a bitch, but ever since that incident at the volcano, she seems a lot less hostile towards me...
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): Anyway, lets talk about you! Did you pick a dress to wear for your.. hehe... party?
	+ Marionette (blushing): Ummm... Yeah...
	+ Madelina (smiling): Really? Can I see it?
	+ Marionette (sweating): ...
	+ Madelina (stumped): Marie?
	+ Marionette (blushing): Look, I already told you the theme of the orgy is “Night and Day”. And, I did try to find a suitable outfit but none of the dresses the palace packed me went with the theme!
	+ Madelina (innocent smirk): God! You’re so hopeless!

Suddenly, Marionette hears something crashing into the balcony and Shirley scream...

* + Shirley’s voice: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
	+ Marionette (startled): Ah! What was that?
	+ Madelina (blows a kiss): Looks like my package has arrived! TTYLXOX!
	+ Marionette (confused): Your package? What are you-

But Madelina ends the contact...

* + Marionette (frowning): Ugh! I’ve got to see what stunt she pulled that time!

Marionette goes and sees what crashed into the balcony...

* + Norah (shocked): Holy shit-
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Bambi; smiling; showing his teeth): URP!
	+ Shirley (horrified): Ahhh!
	+ Marionette (curious): Shirley, what’s going on here?
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Ekho; curious): Is Marionette Patrick here?
	+ Marionette (hand on hip): That would be me. Who are you?
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Ekho; blushing): My name is Ekho, and I’m.... a huntress of Artemis.
	+ Norah (thinking): Artemis’ huntress? So that must be one of her stags!
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Bambi; nodding): URP!
	+ Norah (confused): Did she send you here?! What does she want from us?!
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Ekho; blushing; holding a package): Artemis doesn’t know that we’re here. I was actually sent by Madelina, she asked me to deliver this package to Mrs Patrick.
	+ Bambi and Ekho (Ekho; sweating): Here’s the package. I have to go right now, if Artemis noticed one of her stags are missing, she’s going to be livid!
	+ Marionette (holding the package): Thanks! Have a safe journey!

Ekho and the stag fly out of the balcony...

* + Norah (chuckling): Looks like your friend is making allies in Olympus! I have to say I’m jealous, what did she send you?
	+ Marionette (innocent smirk): I think I know exactly what it is!

Marionette opens the package and finds the dress she once borrowed from Madelina back at Graecita’s national day...

* + Marionette (excited): A dress! Shirley, help me put it on!
	+ Shirley (sweating): On it!

Shirley helps Marionette get in the dress...

* + Marionette (admiring): Perfect!
	+ Norah (grinning): I’ve gotta say! You seem particularly thrilled for this “party”. Is there anyone you want to shag?
	+ Marionette (blushing): N-no? I barely know anyone here!
	+ Norah (smirking): Really? I thought Sussus seemed a little fond of you...
	+ Marionette (yawning): He’s ok-looking, I guess, but not really my type. Also, while he’s taller than most of the men we’ve met here, he’s still too short.
	+ Norah (laughing): Short?! That’s rich coming from you!
	+ Marionette (smirking): Well, Is there anyone YOU want to shag tonight?
	+ Norah (grinning): Actually, yeah! I’ve heard Discordia will be attending the orgy...
	+ Marionette (curious): Discordia? You mean that hooker you’ve befriended? Isn’t she trans?
	+ Norah (shrugging her shoulders): Yeah... so?
	+ Marionette (blushing): I’m not questioning your crush towards her, it’s just... As far as I know, most trans-women, of course there’s exceptions but... You know...
	+ Norah (smirking): She seems to be attracted to me...
	+ Marionette (stumped): Norah, she thinks you’re a MAN!
	+ Norah (blushing): Oh...
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): How do you think she’s going to react when you take her to a bedroom, pull down your toga, and surprise surprise! You have no d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...
	+ Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!
	+ Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....
	+ Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Marionette....

* + Marionette (crossing her arms): -ck!
	+ Norah (covering her face): Fuck! I didn’t think about this! How am I gonna fuck anyone in that org-

Suddenly Nebet barges in the room...

* + Nebet (panicking): Is anyone hurt?!
	+ Marionette (confused): No....? Why are you asking?
	+ Nebet (shocked): I couldn’t sworn I saw something crash land in your room! It looked somewhat like a sta-
	+ Norah (nervous grin): Girl, I think you must be hallucinating! There’s nothing hiding in our room! Right, Shirley?
	+ Shirley (sweating): R-right...
	+ Nebet (relieved): I’m glad everyone is fine...
	+ Nebet (serious): Your friend Callicrates sent me to talk to you. He says that the carriages are ready to leave and you need to hurry up!
	+ Marionette (whooping): Tell him that we’re coming!
	+ Norah (eye rolling): Remind me why we’re taking Kaleb? He’s not even invited, is he even allowed to come?
	+ Marionette (serious): Sussus mentioned in the invite that we’re allowed to bring our friends with us, and I think it’s unfair that we leave Kaleb behind while we two are having fun.
	+ Marionette (curious): We shouldn’t keep the Imperial family waiting. Shirley, are you sure you don’t want to come?
	+ Shirley (blushing): And have company with nobles? No thanks! I’ll pass!
	+ Marionette (serious): If you say so. Norah, lets go!

Norah and Marionette head outside where two carriages are waiting and they enter the one which Kaleb is sitting in with the crown prince and the commander...

* + Carolus (impatient): We’ve been waiting for you for ages!
	+ Norah (scratching her head): Yeah... Sorry about that, my sister here was being quite indecisive with picking her dresses...
	+ Livius (blushing): Lady Patricia... What brings you into our carriage?
	+ Marionette (confused): We’re all heading to the orgy. Aren’t you?
	+ Livius (sweating): We are, but...
	+ Kaleb (serious): This carriage is for the men only, the woman go inside the other carriage!
	+ Marionette (appalled): You mean the one Claudilla and her ladies have claimed?!
	+ Carolus (crossing his arms): What? Do you have a problem with my betrothed?!
	+ Marionette (covering her face): N-no! *Sigh* Fine, I’ll go...
	+ Norah: Oh well, I guess we’ll see you guys at the orgy!
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Marinus! Where are you going?!
	+ Norah (shrugging her shoulders): To the other carriage?
	+ Kaleb (sweating): Have you not heard what we told your sister...
	+ Norah (nervous grin): Oh shit! My bad!
	+ Carolus (wary): Hmmm....

Marionette gets inside the other carriage where Claudilla and her ladies-in-waiting are sitting...

* + Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 1; stumped): Claudilla... Who is THAT?!
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): Her? Oh! She’s just one of those travelers my cousins allowed to stay in the palace!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; curious): I think I remember seeing her. She came to your room before?
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; shocked): She looks very pretty!
	+ Claudilla (finger on lip): HUSH! She’s coming!
	+ Marionette (curious): Can I get in?
	+ Claudilla (smiling): Of course! Come have a seat!

Marionette takes a seat...

* + Marionette: ...
	+ Claudilla: ...
	+ Ladies-in-waiting: ...
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; smiling): I like your dress!
	+ Marionette (awkward grin): Who, me? Thanks! I got it from back home!
	+ Claudilla (grinning): Home... You know, you never told us where you’re from. I’m actually very curious about it...
	+ Marionette (blushing): Oh! It’s... A newer nation, at least much more recent than yours...
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 1; smirking): That sounds fascinating! What’s it’s name?
	+ Marionette (nervous grin): Well... To tell you the truth... I- I don’t know. I know nothing about geography. You can ask my brother, he’s always been the brighter of us two!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; pouting): I can relate to this! It’s a shame that us women don’t receive proper education!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; laughing): With or without education, we know none of the knowledge will get into your head!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; crossing her arms): Hey!
	+ Marionette (curious): So.. um... Where’s Audenzia?
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): The bastard? She’s probably locked herself in her room to weep!
	+ Marionette (confused): Why is she not coming with us?
	+ Claudilla (looking at her nails): How am I to know? She probably wasn’t invited. Tragic.
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (grinning): Bold of her to think the Amogi will let a bastard like her cross their land!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; false sympathy): How embarrassing!

The ladies all laugh...

* + Marionette (holding her anger): ...

Eventually the carriages make it to the villa and the passenger all step outside...

* + Norah (impressed): So that’s Villa Amoga? Damn is it huge!
	+ Livius (eye rolling): Impressive, huh? Just wait until you go inside and prepare for the horridness!
	+ Marionette (shocked): This place looks even larger than the palace! How did they get so rich?
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 1; serious): The lady of the house runs a dairy farm, most of our milk supply comes from her!
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): A woman in business, can you believe it?! She should’ve trusted her son with the business, instead of letting fool around while she does all the work!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; smiling): I don’t think that’s a bad thing! Instead of mocking her, we should be taking her as an inspiration!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; eye rolling): I’d rather just marry a man and have him spoil me with his riches!
	+ Norah (nervous grin): Wow! There are so many guests in here!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I’m pretty sure most of them aren’t even invited, this looks like an open-party to me...

Inside the villa...

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): How many statues of himself does he have? Seems to me he’s very full of himself...
	+ Carolus (cross): And you seem to have a sharp tongue for a slave! Did your owners not teach you to respect your nobles?!
	+ Livius (crossing his arms): Carolus, relax. It’s not as if he’s saying anything new...
	+ Marionette (curious): Who is that woman he is sculpted with?
	+ Norah (smirking): What? Are you feeling jealous.
	+ Marionette (crossing his arms): No. I’m just curious, as I thought he was the type to not “settle down”.
	+ Norah (grinning): Whoever she is, she’s got some nice curves!
	+ Norah (thinking): And they seem close, yet, not romantically. In most of these statues she’s holding on him in a maternal way, which I find odd...
	+ Marionette (giggling): Could be a kink? I knew a girl who let her partner treat her like a kid!

After minutes of walking, the group make it to the part of the villa where the party is starting.

* + Lesbians (getting it on): *moaning*
	+ Claudilla (disgusted): Ugh... Do they have to do this in public?
	+ Marionette (curious): Isn’t the whole concept of an orgy is sex? How are they doing anything wrong?
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): I just don’t think THEIR kind should be displaying this to everyone!
	+ Norah (offended): What do you mean by “their kind”?
	+ Claudilla (uncomfortable): You know...
	+ Sussus (happy): And look who finally showed up!

Sussus approaches Marionette, takes her and kisses it...

* + Sussus (bowing): It’s a pleasure to have you here, Lady Patricia!
	+ Marionette (flattered): Oooooo I didn’t think of you as such a gentleman!
	+ Sussus (scratching his head): I can be gentle, and I can get rough. That’s how I keep my girls on check!
	+ Kaleb (holding his anger): ...
	+ Sussus (grinning): And it looks like you and your brother brought quite a bunch with you! Who do we have her-

Sussus recognizes Livius...

* + Sussus (shocked): Livius?! Now THAT is a surprise!
	+ Sussus (welcoming): I see that you’re no longer the pious man I used to know! You’re the last person I expected to see, but regardless, it’s great to see you, man!
	+ Livius (frowning): Unfortunately, I don’t share the same sentiment.
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): Are we really going to go there? I thought we were over that stuff!
	+ Livius (crossing his arms): Oh, I’m sorry! But I don’t recall you reaching out to me to talk things out like men!
	+ Sussus (eye rolling): And I don’t see why I have to feel sorry for things I did as a kid!
	+ Buttox (happy): GAIUS!

A voluptuous woman approaches the group, her breasts bouncing as she is running...

* + Marionette (whispering): Isn’t that the woman we saw in the statues? She looks older than how they presented her!
	+ Norah (horny): Boobs...
	+ Livius (blushing): Lady Buttox?
	+ Norah (holding her laughter): Wait?! Did he just call her Lady Buttocks?!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; confused): What’s funny about her name?
	+ Buttox (stern): Oh no! I didn’t breastfeed you for two years to call me “Lady Buttox”! It’s Auntie Buttox to you, young man!
	+ Livius (awkward grin): Oh... I-I’m sorry...
	+ Buttox (wiping a tear): Just look at how much you’ve grown! Last time I saw you, you were this tall, and now you are the crown prince of Rome! Your mother would have been so proud!
	+ Buttox (warm smile): I was so worried you’d be too busy to get my invite! I’m so glad you found time to attend the party!
	+ Sussus (shocked): Wait! You INVITED him?!
	+ Sussus (pissed): But mother- why didn’t you console me?!
	+ Norah (shocked): Holy fuck! That’s his mom?!
	+ Buttox (pissed): Because I knew you wouldn’t allow it! You two have been fighting for too long and I’m about sick of it!
	+ Buttox (innocent smile): I invited Gaius because I thought after all these years this tension between you two are over and this is your chance to finally make up and leave the past for the past!
	+ Sussus (eye rolling): Ugh... Fine! Here, shake my hand!
	+ Livius (hesitant): *sigh*

The two men shake hands...

* + Buttox (proud): Look at you two getting along! Now hug it out!
	+ Sussus (embarrassed): MOTHER!
	+ Buttox (furious): I said HUG!
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): Okay, okay!
	+ Sussus and Livius (hugging): ...
	+ Buttox (smiling): See? Was it that hard, sugarbear?
	+ Buttox (proud): I’m so happy my little boy is maturing, I’m so proud of you-
	+ Sussus (pouting): I did what you told me! Now can you please leave me alone?
	+ Sussus (covering his face): I’m so sorry about my mother-
	+ Servant (shocked): Master Sussus!
	+ Sussus (eye rolling): What now?!
	+ Servant (sweating): I’m sorry if I am disrupting you, but... There is a dead man inside your bedroom!
	+ Sussus (shocked): A what?!
	+ Madelina (shocked): Oh shit! A murder!
	+ Kaleb (serious): We need to find out what happened! We can’t let a potential killer roam around the villa murdering people!
	+ Kaleb (curious): Excuse me sir, but can you take us to where you found the body?
	+ Servant (worried): Sure! Just follow me!

## Chapter 1

* Investigate the bedroom chamber (Victim identified: Gargantus Phallus).
	+ Kaleb (blushing): So this is our victim?! I didn’t... expect him to be nude...
	+ Kaleb (awkward grin): You’re right, that isn’t the first time I saw a nude man this trip, so this shouldn’t be too strange for me...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): I don’t see any wounds on his body, so I’ll need to perform an autopsy on him to determine the cause of death-
	+ Sussus (curious): Did you move the body out of my chambe-
	+ Sussus (shocked): Oh shoot! Is that Phallus?!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): So you know that man? Lord Amogus, if you don’t mind, we’d like to have a chat with you.
* Confront Sussus about finding a body in his bedroom (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the bedroom chamber).
	+ Kaleb (curious): You seem to recognize the man we found in your name. You say his name was Phallus, did I hear this correctly?
	+ Sussus (covering his face): Yes, Gargantus Phallus. He’s a... friend of my mother’s...
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): And he’s visited our villa several times. So naturally, we invited him to attend this occasion...
	+ Kaleb (curious): So you knew the man and find his dead body tied up to your bed. You realize how suspicious that makes you look?
	+ Sussus (offended): Are you instating that I killed the man?! Are you taking me for a sicko?!
	+ Sussus (grinning): I only ever tie girls to my bed, and while things can get rough, I assure you it never escalated to any of them turning dead!
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): If you don’t helieve me, then I grant you permission to search the villa, and you’ll see for yourself!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Your villa is a crime scene for the murder, so it’s not like you’ve got much of a choice anyway. But thanks for your cooperation...
	+ Kaleb (serious): Marionette, lets search the atrium for any potential suspects. And seeing that she’s friends with the victim, I believe Lord Amogus’ murder deserves to be informed of his deatg!
* Inform Lady Buttox of her friend’s murder (1 star; Pre-request: Confront Sussus about finding a body in his bedroom).
	+ Kaleb (sweating): Your name is... Lady Buttox?
	+ Buttox (smiling): Incontinentia Buttox. But you can call me just Buttox, I’m not the type who values honorifics!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): Yeah... I think I’ll just call you Incontinentia... For reasons...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): You came seeking for you because we found a dead body inside your son’s room. The victim is a man by the name of Gargantus Phallus...
	+ Buttox (shocked): Oh dearie! Phallus is dead?!
	+ Kaleb (curious): Sadly. We heard from your son that the two of your were friends?
	+ Buttox (awkward grin): I suppose you can put it that way....
	+ Buttox (blushing): Although our bonding was strictly professional, of course...
	+ Buttox (innocent smirk): I would trade him a supply of my finest dairy, and in turn he gives me a collection of lavender-scented candles to cense mine and my sugarbear’s clothes with!
	+ Buttox (sympathetic): It’s a shame that he had to go! I knew it’ll eventually happen considering his age, but I hopes it’d at least be from natural causes, not murder!
* Investigate the atrium (Pre-request: Confront Sussus about finding a body in his bedroom)
	+ Kaleb (thinking): This lavender bouquet seems to be an offering to the Amoga family from one of the guests...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): There’s a card, but it doesn’t say who it is from...
	+ Kaleb (serious): Looks like its time to put our dusting kit to use!
* Recover name on bouquet (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the atrium)
	+ Kaleb (thinking): The person who sent that bouquet is a certain person from “Domus Severus”. And the only surviving person from that house is Simona Severa...
	+ Kaleb (curious): Didn’t you and Norah meet that woman during another murder investigation?
	+ Kaleb (serious): Looks like she’s on the attendance list, lets go speak with her!
* Talk to Simona (1 star; Pre-request: Recover name on bouquet)
	+ Kaleb (curious): You must be Lady Severa. I assume you and my mistress have met before.
	+ Simona (polite): We did. It is a pleasure meeting you again, Lady Patricia.
	+ Kaleb: We take pleasure in meeting you too. We believe this bouquet.
	+ Simona (smiling): Thank you! I’ve made these specifically for Lady Buttox. She’s personally invited me to attend the orgy so I thought it was only polite to make a gift to return her kindness.
	+ Simona (awkward grin): I’m not usually one who practices the activities being performed here. But I’ve some hardships in my life, so I’m sure I could handle some whips and chains...
	+ Kaleb (serious): We hope that you enjoy your time. But before we leave you, we want to ask you about a certain Gargantus Phallus, he found his body inside one of the villa’s rooms, so we’re questioning the people here about his murder!
	+ Simona (crossing her arms): Gargantus Phallus? I’ve never met that man, but I’ve heard his name and some unpleasant things about him.
	+ Kaleb (curious): Unpleasant in what way?
	+ Simona (thinking): Allegedly, he gets too... touchey when it comes to women. However, as I said I had no personal experiences with him, so I cannot confirm these rumors.
* Autopsy victim’s body (Killer attribute: The killer ties knots; Killer attribute: The killer practices BDSM).
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): So I looked into the victim’s body and as I observed earlier, there are no wounds...
	+ Kaleb (blushing): However, I believe I know his cause of death...
	+ Kaleb (serious): My autopsy revealed that the victim suffered from a weak heart, so certain activities that require a lot of energy can lead to a cardiac arrest.
	+ Kaleb (blushing): And one of those activities are... sexual intercourse. Which makes me believe he was... screwed... to death...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Was it an accident? Could be. However, considering the fact he was tied up in a position where he couldn’t resist, I strongly doubt it...
	+ Kaleb (serious): And speaking about him getting tied up. I do believe that our killer may be an expert when it comes to knotting, as the knots holding his wrists were tied up pretty tight!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): And I also think we should note that they may be into the sadist and masochist act, of course assuming the death is a sex act gone wrong...

Later at the orgy...

* + Norah (drinking): I heard you guys found a dead body in our host’s bedroom, how’s the investigation going?
	+ Norah (grinning): Marionette here told me that your victim was screwed, literally!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): Yeah, which make us believe the killer may be into S&M foreplay...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): And so far, two of suspects showed interest in those activities...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): One of whom are that Sus guy who’s also admitting to tying his girlfriends up during “the deed”.
	+ Kaleb (thinking): And you make a good point, Marionette! For Simona to make a bouquet, she most also know how to knot. And she’s also an ex-slave which means she may have done physical activities which involves tying a rope!
	+ Norah (smirking): I’ve heard that the host’s mother is also a suspect, may you got knowing to say about her?
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I’m not that much into breasts...
	+ Norah (eye rolling): Yeah, yeah! You prefer a dead girl’s breasts over those of a living, fertile woman!
	+ Kaleb (eye rolling): Are you going to keep bring this up-
	+ Centurion (sweating): ...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Hmmm... That centurion is acting rather strange. Don’t you think?
	+ Kaleb (whooping): Hey! Centurion!
	+ Centurion (startled): AHHH!

Th centurion makes a run for it...

* + Kaleb (shocked): Get back here! We just want to talk!

## Chapter 2

* + Norah (drinking): I heard you guys found a dead body in our host’s bedroom, how’s the investigation going?
	+ Norah (grinning): Marionette here told me that your victim was screwed, literally!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): Yeah, which make us believe the killer may be into S&M foreplay...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): And so far, two of suspects showed interest in those activities...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): One of whom are that Sus guy who’s also admitting to tying his girlfriends up during “the deed”.
	+ Kaleb (thinking): And you make a good point, Marionette! For Simona to make a bouquet, she most also know how to knot. And she’s also an ex-slave which means she may have done physical activities which involves tying a rope!
	+ Norah (smirking): I’ve heard that the host’s mother is also a suspect, may you got knowing to say about her?
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I’m not that much into breasts...
	+ Norah (eye rolling): Yeah, yeah! You prefer a dead girl’s breasts over those of a living, fertile woman!
	+ Kaleb (eye rolling): Are you going to keep bring this up-
	+ Centurion (sweating): ...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Hmmm... That centurion is acting rather strange. Don’t you think?
	+ Kaleb (whooping): Hey! Centurion!
	+ Centurion (startled): AHHH!

Th centurion makes a run for it...

* + Kaleb (shocked): Get back here! We just want to talk!

Kaleb catches up to the centurion...

* + Kaleb (serious): What are you doing here?! Are you hiding something?
	+ Centurion (sweating): N-nothing...
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Your voice! You’re not a centurion! Who are you?!
	+ Centurion (covering their face): ...

The centurion takes off their helmet...

* + Audenzia (taking off her helmet): It’s... me..
	+ Kaleb (confused): Audenzia?! But we didn’t see you mount the carriages!
	+ Kaleb (serious): We need to talk with you!
* Ask Audenzia what she’s doing at the orgy (1 star).
	+ Kaleb (curious): Audenzia, what are you doing here and why are you wearing a disguise?
	+ Audenzia (sweating; showing her invite): I came here because I was invited! See, I have proof!
	+ Kaleb (confused): Okay.... But that doesn’t explain why you needed to guise yourself?
	+ Audenzia (pissed): Because if Livius saw me, he’s going to make me go back to the palace!
	+ Audenzia (eye rolling): He says that I’m too young to be attending such parties. Which doesn’t make sense! All my friends were married by the time they were 16, so I don’t see I shouldn’t be enjoying my time!
	+ Audenzia (smiling): This is the first party I’ve ever been invited to, and I didn’t want to miss it! So I snuck out of the palace while you were changing and I came to the party before any of you could get here!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): The crown prince will not be pleased about this, and I assume you don’t plan to spend your night looking like that?
	+ Audenzia (sweating): Heavens no! I’m literally sweating in here! I can’t wait to untie this binder and help myself with a nice bath!
	+ Kaleb (curious): You said you came here early... How early to be exact?
	+ Audenzia (blushing): Not REALLY early, but at least half the people here haven’t made an appearance yet.
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this yet, but a murder took place at the party.
	+ Kaleb (curious): And we’d like to know if you’ve seen Gargantus Phallus, alive, during the party? Do you know him?
	+ Audenzia (thinking): I am familiar with him, and yes, I’ve crossed paths with him...
	+ Audenzia (blushing): I entered the bathhouse hoping to give myself a nice scrub, but I saw him there chatting and playing around with several other people, so I decided to wait until their gone for some privacy...
	+ Kaleb (glad): Thank you for the info, Audenzia! Marina, lets go to the bathhouse to look for clues!
* Investigate the bathhouse (Pre-request: Ask Audenzia what she’s doing at the orgy).
	+ Kaleb (curious): What did you find, Marionette? A torn note?
	+ Kaleb (thinking): You think it may be related to the murder? Then I guess we’ve got to restore it. What else do you hav-
	+ Kaleb (stumped): I hope you’re not planning to steal this bracelet. You really need to start controlling yourself! You may get away with this habit in Graecita, but not here!
	+ Kaleb (curious): Are you saying that the bracelet is familiar to you? You say it belongs to a hooker you’ve me-
	+ Norah (shocked): Who?! Discordia?!
	+ Kaleb (startled): Norah, for how long were you standing there?
	+ Norah (innocent smirk): I was just checking in to see how you’re handling the investigation, and the subject you’ve brought up caught my attention...
	+ Norah (awkward grin): Would you mind if you... Let me give that back to her?
	+ Kaleb (stumped): Norah. You’re not planning to hook up with her, are you?
	+ Norah (whistling): Oh noooooooooooo. I just want to join you when talking with her.
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): *sigh* Fine. Marionette, lets go look for that whore.
* Give Discordia her necklace back (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the bathhouse).
	+ Discordia (smiling): Lord Patricius! What a nice treat!
	+ Discordia (pouting): Where have you been all that time? You didn’t visit me once since we’ve met, I was so sad!
	+ Norah (scratching her head): My apologies, I just couldn’t find the time. But to make up for my lack of visits, I came to bring back your bracelet!
	+ Discordia (pleased): I was wondering where I left it! Thank you so much, where did you find it?
	+ Kaleb (serious): We found it at the bathhouse, it was clogging up the drains.
	+ Discordia (eye rolling): This is why I shouldn’t be bathing with jewelry. But I saw that madwoman from back at my father’s deathday, in the party, and I was afraid she’d try to steal back the bracelet!
	+ Kaleb (thinking): We’ve heard from other guests that Gargantus Phallus was in the bathhouse with you...
* Discordia (crossing her arms): A lot of people had been at the bathhouse with us, but I assume that you’re interrogate me for his murder...
	+ Discordia (dramatic): It’s a shame really! I came to the orgy hoping for pleasure, and now I have to worry about getting killed!
	+ Discordia (acting cute): But I’m sure Marinus will be here to protect me, will you?
	+ Norah (shy grin): Of course I will! I will sure no fucker here will harm you!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Ugh... Marionette, lets just give these two space. Clearly something is going on between them, which I don’t want to witness.
* Restore torn note (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the bathhouse).
	+ Kaleb (reading): The note says, “Meet me at the host’s bedroom, I’d like to see your Gargantus Phallus.”
	+ Kaleb (eye rolling): What a “clever” pun, and it looks like our victim got himself a cuddle buddy. Amazing!
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Oh shoot! The victim died having sex, so that must be from his killer!
	+ Kaleb (disgusted): And what it is that horrid scent! Gross!
	+ Kaleb (pinching his nose): We have to get a sample of whatever was put on that note, because whatever it is, it could give us a clue on who our killer may be!
* Examine note (1 star; Pre-request: Restore torn note).
	+ Kaleb (serious): Now that we have the sample, we’ll have to get it identified.
* Let Kaleb analyze the scent (Killer attribute: The killer was in contact with lavenders)
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): So I analyzed the odor sample we’ve collected and turns out it came from lavenders!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I suppose the killer must’ve thought it would be a romantic gesture to scent the note with flowers and make it easier to lure our victim...
	+ Kaleb (serious): Whatever they were thinking, we know now that they were in contact with lavenders!
	+ Kaleb (thinking): Incontinentia mentioned that she censed her clothes as well as her son’s with lavender-scented candles.
	+ Kaleb (serious): And Simona did make her a bouquet of lavenders, so its likely she contracted the smell!

Later...

* + Kaleb (curious): I know Norah won’t like me suggesting her new pet of being guilty, but as a courtesan, wouldn’t that make her highly trained in BDSM?
	+ Kaleb (thinking): I also noticed that her dress consists of a rope squeezed tight around her waist, and in a really strong knot!
	+ Kaleb (serious): Anyway, we have to focus on finding the killer and I think we should give Sussus’ room another look around!
* Investigate the bed.
	+ Kaleb (blushing): That drawing you found... It’s a nude sketch of who appears to be Incontinentia Buttox!
	+ Kaleb (shocked): And the person who signed it! That’s our victim’s name!
	+ Kaleb (confused): But why would he draw something like that of the hostess?
	+ Kaleb (serious): We’ve got to question her about this!
* Ask Lady Buttox why the victim posses a nude illustration of her (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the bed).
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Incontinentia, when we spoke to you, you claimed your relationship with the victim was strictly professional. But this drawing of his suggests otherwise!
	+ Buttox (embarrassed): Oh dear god! Where did you find that?!
	+ Buttox (covering her face): But alas, I admit I w asn’t completely frank with you. Phallus and I... we were a little more than friends.
	+ Kaleb (curious): Were you lovers?
	+ Buttox (crossing her arms): “Lovers” isn’t the way I would put it. We enjoyed playing with the whips and chains, but we never really committed. We’ve been on-and-off for almost 10 years.
	+ Buttox (covering her face): I didn’t want anything “serious” with him as he often stood me up for much younger women, and he and my son don’t see eye to eye. Which is a shame as I really wanted a male influence in Sussus’ life!
	+ Kaleb (thinking): So he and your son your son don’t get belong? Interesting.
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): It shouldn’t come to a surprise that Sussus wouldn’t want his mother dating another man. But us finding Phallus in his room is also suspicious enough, this new information makes him our primary suspect!
	+ Kaleb (serious): Let’s go speak with him!
* Ask Sussus about his relationship with Flavius (1 star; Pre-request: Ask Lady Buttox why the victim posses a nude illustration of her)
	+ Sussus (annoyed): Are you done solving your case? Because I do plan to use my bed tonight and I’d like for the servants to change the sheets first!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): We’re getting into it. But first, we’d like to know the nature of your relationship with Phallus. We’ve recently learned that he went out with your mother.
	+ Sussus (pissed): Oh, Don’t remind me! I have no idea what she sees in that man!
	+ Kaleb (wary): It’s common for children to get mad when their parents get into the dating poll, but you seem particularly hateful toward Phallus.
	+ Sussus (angry): Have you looked at him?! Tell me, would you want your mother to be with a man like that?!
	+ Kaleb (offended): Like what, exactly?
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): Look, I want my mother to be happy and find love, she’s earned it. But I want her to be with a man her OWN AGE.
	+ Sussus (pissed): Not someone almost four decades her senior! He was literally twice her age when the two of them met!
	+ Sussus (shocked): And if the age gap wasn’t bad enough, he’s not even faithful to her!
	+ Sussus (furious): And she doesn’t say it, but I know that he beats her too! I’d often see bruises on her after his visits, and I can tell whether it’s from a sex act or not!

Later...

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): If what Sussus claims Phallus is doing to his mother is true, then it seems like our victim is a pig.
	+ Kaleb (thinking): We’ve uncovered three attributes against our killer and so far, the only two who fit them are Sussus and Lady Severa...
	+ Kaleb (curious): Speaking of the devil, aren’t those them?
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; grinning): Come on, Simona! Just give me one night, and I promise that I will blow your mind!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; eye rolling): Mister Amoga, I already told you I am not interested! Why don’t you go and bother another poor girl!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; winking): I could if I liked to. But no other girl caught my attention as much as you did!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; yawning): Awww how flattered am I!

## Chapter 3

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): If what Sussus claims Phallus is doing to his mother is true, then it seems like our victim is a pig.
	+ Kaleb (thinking): We’ve uncovered three attributes against our killer and so far, the only two who fit them are Sussus and Lady Severa...
	+ Kaleb (curious): Speaking of the devil, aren’t those them?
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; grinning): Come on, Simona! Just give me one night, and I promise that I will blow your mind!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; eye rolling): Mister Amoga, I already told you I am not interested! Why don’t you go and bother another poor girl!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; winking): I could if I liked to. But no other girl caught my attention as much as you did!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; yawning): Awww how flattered you make me feel!
	+ Kaleb (serious): Lady Severa, is that man bothering you?
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; nervous grin): Am I bothering her? That’s nonesense! Simona, tell them yourself!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; looking at her nails): Not at all! That young man is simply trying to get me to his bed, and if I’m being honest, I admire his efforts.
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; grinning): Ah, I see what it is! This whole time, you were simply playing hard to get!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; annoyed): Uh, no. I appreciate the compliments you are throwing to me, but that doesn’t mean I intend to have sex with you!
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; crossing his arms): Then what are you doing at the orgy if you’re not seeking pleasure?
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; serious): As you said, I came here to SEEK PLEASURE.
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; grinning): And interesting story, I have a friend who had the displeasure of sleeping with you and from her account, her experience was not all that good.
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; grinning): Are you really taking the words of a bitter ex?
	+ Simona and Sussus (Simona; smirking): I’d rather trust the words of a friend than those of vain young men like you. Now if you excuse me, there are other men I would like to meet.
	+ Simona and Sussus (Sussus; shocked): Wait! Aren’t you at least going to verify her claims-
	+ Kaleb (snickering): Ha! Serves him right!
	+ Kaleb (slight smile): That was entertaining, but you need to put our focus back to the murder. Why don’t we take another look at the atrium?
* Investigate Bacchus statue.
	+ Kaleb (thinking): This is a poster of a man who looks like our victim. There appears to be a piece of text on the bottom, but I can’t make it out. Should we try and recover it?
	+ Kaleb (curious): What else have you found? A tablet? Hmmm... There is a lot of text, so I need to observe it closely in order to translate...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): And someone appears to have lost their necklace. They’re probably looking for it, and I think it’s only polite that we return it to them..
	+ Kaleb (serious): But for that, we need to look for their fingerprints first!
* Examine necklace for fingerprints (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Bacchus statue).
	+ Kaleb (glad): Now that we have the fingerprints, lets identify the owner of this necklace!
* Analyze the necklace’s fingerprints (Pre-request: Examine necklace for fingerprints).
	+ Kaleb (confused): So I analyzed the fingerprints we’ve collected, and it looks like we have two sets of fingerprints.
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Some of them belong to your victim. But also found fingerprints that belong to that hooker Norah is cozying up to.
	+ Kaleb (serious): She’s never mentioned getting close to the victim! We’ve got to go interrogate her again!
* Ask Discordia if she’s cozied up to the victim (1 star; Pre-request: Analyze the necklace’s fingerprints).
	+ Discordia: Lovely to see you two again... Just give me one moment...

Discordia applies perfume on herself...

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): Your odor smells familiar, what scent are you applying?
	+ Discordia (smirking): Lavenders. Something about them makes people feel dizzy, so it makes it easier to turn men on...
	+ Discordia: Anyway, is there anything else you wish to ask me?
	+ Kaleb (curious): We do. That necklace, is it yours?
	+ Discordia (crossing her arms): I guess it does. Phallus tried to gift it to me and I threw it away once he’s turned his back.
	+ Kaleb (serious): So you did know the victim! You failed to mention this when we spoke to you earlier!
	+ Discordia (smirking): In my defense, have you even asked me?
	+ Discordia (crossing her arms): But yes, I knew him, unfortunately. I’ve met him in a previous party where he tried to make a move on me. I was glad to finally be out of it, but it looks like fate had to bring us together and he tried to hit on me once again!
	+ Discordia (eye rolling): I’ve told him several times I don’t want be with him! I have no interest in dating older men, but he just wouldn’t take no for an answer, so I decided to play along this time!
* Recover text on poster (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate Bacchus statue).
	+ Kaleb (shocked): The missing text is “PRODITOR”, which means “TRAITOR” when translated to English!
	+ Kaleb (confused): Who was accusing the victim of treason and why?
	+ Kaleb (serious): We need to identify who’s handwriting is this!
* Identify handwriting (1 star; Pre-request: Recover text on poster).
	+ Kaleb (shocked): The handwriting belongs to Simona Severa!
	+ Kaleb (confused): But what does she mean by calling the victim a “traitor”?
	+ Kaleb (serious): We have to go question her about this!
* Ask Simona why she labeled the victim a “traitor” (1 star; Pre-request: Identify handwriting)
	+ Kaleb (curious): Lady Severa, you claim that you and the victim never met each other. So why are you labeling him as a “traitor” in this poster?
	+ Simona (furious): Because that’s exactly what he is! A traitor to his kind!
	+ Simona (determined): I may not be a slave anymore, but I have not forgotten my roots and I’m doing all I can to abolish slavery from the face of Rome!
	+ Simona (thinking): I hope that, considering his family history, Phallus would voice his support for my movement, so I reached out to him, but he refused to take my side...
	+ Simona (shocked): I respected his decision because I assumed he probably wanted no trouble. But I was soon informed that he was housing slaves in his settlement!
	+ Simona (furious): Owning a slave is already bad enough, but the fact that he grew up in a family of slaves yet still does this to another human absolutely disgusts me! So I made this poster to call him out for what he is- A traitor!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Lady Severa, your anger toward the victim is understandable. But we hope that you haven’t killed him for this or else you’ll have no choice but to come back to your humble beginnings...
* Analyze news tablet (Pre-request: Investigate Bacchus statue).
	+ Kaleb (thinking): The tablet we found hold some really interesting information that date back to eighteen years ago!
	+ Kaleb (serious): It talks about the scandal between the late emperor and Audenzia’s mother, and you won’t believe this...
	+ Kaleb (shocked): But it says that our victim was the one who exposed her mother’s affair!
	+ Kaleb (serious): You’re right, Audenzia must have some deep hatred toward our victim for this and we’ve got to bring this up to her!
* Question Audenzia about her feelings toward the victim (1 star; Pre-request: Analyze news tablet).
	+ Kaleb (whooping): Audenzia!
	+ Audenzia (startled): AHHHHHHH!!!!
	+ Kaleb (startled): Ah! We... Didn’t realize you were changing- We’re going to leave the place, tell us when you’re d-
	+ Audenzia (blushing): It’s okay! Just look away and tell me what you’ve come here!
	+ Kaleb (sweating): Well... We’ve found a news tablet talking about your mother’s affair...
	+ Audenzia (covering her face): And what did it say?
	+ Kaleb (blushing): It says that the victim was the one who exposed her. So we came to you wanting to know how you feel about him...
	+ Audenzia (crossing her arms): Do I even have to say it?
	+ Audenzia (furious): I HATE HIM! HE RUINED MY LIFE!
	+ Audenzia (crying): If he had kept his mouth shut, I would’ve been seen as a legitimate member of the Imperial family! But because of him, I became nothing but a bastard!
	+ Audenzia (angry): I’m glad that he’s dead, and I hope that he rots in hell for eternity and beyond!
	+ Kaleb (sympathetic): We understand the sentiment, but we hope you didn’t decide to take revenge on him. Else, you’ll land yourself on a rank lower than a bastard’s.

Later...

* + Kaleb (crossing his arms): The more we learn about the victim, the more we see how despicable he is.
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): So far we’ve got three likely suspects, which isn’t good at all...
	+ Kaleb (serious): We have to look for more clues and I saw we give the bathhouse another look!
* Investigate changing room.
	+ Audenzia (startled): Ah!
	+ Kaleb (startled): Audenzia! We didn’t realize you were still here!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): Don’t mind, but we’re just here to inspect the place for clues for our case!
	+ Audenzia (awkward grin): I see... Uh... Would you mind lending me a bar of soap?
	+ Kaleb (curious): Not at all. What scent do you want?
	+ Audenzia (curious): What does the purple bar smells like?
	+ Kaleb (disgusted): Lavenders...
	+ Audenzia (smiling): That would do, thanks!
	+ Kaleb (curious): So Marina, did you find anything?
	+ Kaleb (confused): Clothes?
	+ Kaleb (glad): There’s only one person whose not wearing clothes here that is not Audenzia, and it is our victim! These most be his clothes, they are the same size as him!
	+ Kaleb (thinking): There’s some yellowish powder on his clothes, but what is it? I think we’ve got to collect a sample.
	+ Kaleb (curious): Did you find anything else?
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Ropes! And it’s the same type used to tie our victim up!
	+ Kaleb (serious): We have to analyze them and see if the victim left anything behind!
* Analyze ropes (Killer attribute: The killer has gray eyes).
	+ Kaleb (glad): Marionette, I believe the clue I found may help narrow down our suspect lineup?
	+ Kaleb (thinking): The killer left some of their skin cells on the ropes and while I wasn’t able to determine they’re identity...
	+ Kaleb (serious): I was able to learn that they’ve got gray eyes!
	+ Kaleb (glad): Considering how rare gray eyes are, this could really help us in our investigation!
* Examine the victim’s clothes (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the changing room).
	+ Kaleb (glad): Now that we have a sample, lets go perform an analysis on it!
* Analyze yellow dust (Killer attribute: The killer is following the theme “Day”).
	+ Kaleb (serious): The powder we collected is actually dust, gold dust, which is used to replicate the glow of the sun!
	+ Kaleb (thinking): We know that the theme of the party is “Day and Night”. So we can either dress like the sun or as the moon...
	+ Kaleb (glad): And it looks like our killer is following the Day theme!

Later...

* + Kaleb (serious): Marionette, I believe this is it! Lets go arrest Gargantus Phallus’ murderer!
* Arrest the killer (1 star; Guilty: Discordia).
	+ Kaleb (serious): Discordia! You are under arrest for the murder of Gargantus Phallus!
	+ Norah (shocked): Woah, there! You must be making a mistake here! Discordia didn’t kill anybody!
	+ Kaleb: Marinus, all the evidence points to this courtesan. We are almost certain she is the murderer!
	+ Norah (hopeful): Discordia, is that true? How could you?
	+ Discordia (grinning): There must be a mistake here! I may be a dangerous gal, but I would never take another human’s life!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Is that so? We know that Phallus died from a sexual intercourse, and what better person could have done the deed other than yourself?
	+ Discordia (crossing her arms): I think you misunderstand me for a whore. I make my living by entertaining men, not sleeping with them. And even I did, I don’t see how this makes me a murderess?
	+ Kaleb (serious): Maybe that doesn’t make you a murderer, but that lavender-scented note you sent him sure does make you suspicious!
	+ Discordia (smiling): The whole villa smells of lavenders! Anyone could’ve picked up that scent!
	+ Kaleb (impatient): But not everyone has eyes as gray as yours! Discordia, we know that you are the killer!
	+ Kaleb (curious): Did you kill simply because of his unwanted advances?
	+ Discordia (angry; tearful): They weren’t just “unwanted advances”! That man was a monster and I’m proud that I killed him!
	+ Discordia (wiping tears): I lied when I said we only met twice. The truth is, after I met him the first time, he tracked down my workplace and began courting me...
	+ Discordia (crossing her arms): I wasn’t interested in him, but he offered me a lot of money to go on dates and attend events with him, that I couldn’t decline.
	+ Discordia (serious): So I agreed to see him from time to time, but I didn’t let him touch me...
	+ Discordia (sad): But one day, after I finished a session with him, he approached and tried to make a move, which of course, I turned down...
	+ Discordia (shocked): But he didn’t take no for an answer! He pinned me into a wall, holding onto my arms and he....
	+ Discordia (crying): ...
	+ Norah (horrified): Did he rape you?!
	+ Discordia (wiping tears): I tried to fight back, but he held my wrists too hard that all I could do was scream!
	+ Discordia (sad): After that incident, Honoria forbade him from coming to the schola again. But even with her protecting, the memories of that day still haunted me and I went through a deep trauma...
	+ Discordia (pissed): At first I blamed myself and I wished so badly to die, but soon I started to accept that I was helpless and that Phallus must pay for what he’s done!
	+ Discordia (angry): When I saw Phallus again tonight, the thirst for revenge started rushing into me and all I could think about was how he had to die!
	+ Discordia (grinning): But I didn’t attack him at the spot, I knew I had to be tactical. So I approached him with a smile, as if nothing had happened and I began flirting with him...
	+ Discordia (serious): We hung out for an hour until I finally brought up our intercourse, and I lied about how much I enjoyed it...
	+ Discordia (smirking): The fool believed me, and when I proposed that we “do it” again, this time with me in control, he jumped to the opportunity!
	+ Discordia (grinning): I knew that at his age, there was no way he could put up with a lot of “work”. So I lured him into the host’s bedroom, tied him to the bed and then we fucked.
	+ Discordia (smiling): As I expected, he got tired after the first few minutes and asked me to stop. But I didn’t: I kept on going until he suffered a heart attack and died, and because of the bonds that I put on him, he couldn’t fight back! He was as helpless as I was that day!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Discordia, what you went through is tragic, but this isn’t an excuse for murder!
	+ Kaleb (serious): We’ll have to take you to the crown prince. Hopefully, he’ll be understanding to your situation...

Kaleb and Marionette take Discordia to Livius...

* + Livius (blushing): Miss Discordia, according to Lady Patricia and her help, you have murdered Gargantus Phallus by..... Pleasuring him to death... Am I hearing this correctly?
	+ Discordia (serious): It is true, Your Majesty. And I don’t regret it!
	+ Livius (covering his face): Yeah... I heard what he had done to you...
	+ Livius (sympathetic): And while a crime like this comes with extreme consequences, I can’t find it in my heart to prosecute you...
	+ Livius (serious): And for that, I pardon you for your crime and you may continue walking the streets of Rome a free woman!

Back at the atrium...

* + Norah (sympathetic): Discordia, are you feeling unwell?
	+ Discordia (shocked): N-no. But I’m in shock, the crown prince actually pardoned me!
	+ Discordia (holding her head): I’m in so much relief. But I don’t think I can continue partying anymore, the hosts must be very pissed with me...
	+ Norah (warm smile): If you want me, I can walk you back to your place...
	+ Discordia (sweet smile): I would be honored.

Norah and Discordia leave the villa.

## The Roman Empire (5/6)

* + Kaleb (curious): Now that we’ve found Phallus’ killer, what are we going to do here?
	+ Kaleb (blushing): All the guests here seem... occupied, so there is no one to interact with...
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Norah went to walk that courtesan back to her den, and something tells me she won’t be going back. So should we make our exit-
	+ Man (checking himself; nervous): Where did they go?!
	+ Man (panicking): I swear I had three tickets to the Colosseum with me! I have no idea where they disappeared!
	+ Ladies (Lady 1; pissed): Tickets or no tickets. We told you we’re not going back to you after how you’ve played us! And no amount of gifts is going to change that! We’re through with you!
	+ Man (awkward grin): Ladies, can we at least talk about this. Maybe we can come to an agreement?
	+ Ladies (Lady 2; serious): You can only take one of us, or go! You can’t have us both!
	+ Ladies (Lady 1; crossing her arms): And neither of us doubt that you have a third by your side!
	+ Ladies (Lady 2; eye rolling): Goodbye!
	+ Man (shocked): Wait!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): Now that’s something straight out of a soap opera!
	+ Kaleb (shocked): And didn’t that man say he lost tickets to the Colosseum? And not just one, but three!
	+ Kaleb (glad): That’s enough to take you, men and Norah to the Colosseum and get us closer to the lion!
	+ Kaleb (sweating): Now I don’t condone stealing, but we really need to get to tomorrow’s show. Else, we’ll have to wait two more weeks for a chance to reach Hippomenes again!
	+ Kaleb (serious): The man will probably go looking for the tickets, so we have to find them fast-
	+ Servants (curious): Excuse me- I pray that I’m not disturbing you-
	+ Kaleb (curious): Not at all, is there anyway we could help you?
	+ Servants (blushing): I came here from the bathhouse. A lady there wishes to speak with you two...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): That must be Audenzia. Thank you for reaching us...
	+ Kaleb (serious): Marionette, what do you say? Should we go speak with Audenzia first, or should we start looking for those tickets? The choice of the matter is yours!
* See why Audenzia called for you (1 star).
	+ Kaleb (whooping): Audenzia?! A servant told us you wanted to see us. Where are you?!
	+ Audenzia (awkward grin): I’m here...
	+ Kaleb (startled): Ah! Y-you’re still... naked?!
	+ Audenzia (embarrassed): I’m so sorry! I was going to change but I have a really small problem...
	+ Audenzia (covering her face): I sent Lord Amogus a dress, and I asked to keep it somewhere so I could wear it when I make it to the party...
	+ Audenzia (awkward grin): He informed me beforehand that he hid it at the bathhouse, but I couldn’t find it anywhere and I was wondering if you could help me look for it...
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Could you just have asked for him? He knows where he hid the dress and I’m sure he would retrieve it for you!
	+ Audenzia (sweating): Yes, but...
	+ Kaleb (confused): But what?
	+ Audenzia (blushing): You know how he is with women... I wouldn’t want him to see me nude...
	+ Audenzia (awkward grin): So I asked for you instead! Because I felt more confortable around you!
	+ Audenzia (begging): So can you please help me?
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): *sigh* Fine... Lady Patricia and I will go look for your dress...
	+ Audenzia (relieved): Thank you, this is much appreciated!
	+ Kaleb (curious): Marionette, if you were to hide a dress somewhere here, where would it be?
	+ Kaleb (serious): The changing room! It’s the only place where it would be safe from getting wet! Lets start there!
* Investigate the changing room (Pre-request: See why Audenzia called for you).
	+ Kaleb (curious): I don’t see a dress anywhere, do you?
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): The crown prince talked about a prank Amogus did which forced him to streak all around Rome. Do you think that’s what he’s doing to Audenzia? Is that a ploy to humiliate him even further?
	+ Kaleb (curious): There’s a closet in here, do you think the dress is in here? Can we even open it-
	+ Kaleb (relieved): Oh, thank god! It’s not locked!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): There’s a lot of dresses in here, but none of them seem to fit Audenzia. They’re tailored for a more voluptuous woman, I think those are the hostess’...
	+ Kaleb (thinking): I believe we should dig through, maybe the dress is buried in there...
* Search the closet (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the changing room).
	+ Kaleb (blushing): There is no way THAT dress would fit Incontinentia’s, it doesn’t... accommodate to her curves...
	+ Kaleb (serious): So this got to be Audenzia’s dress! Lets go return it to her!
* Return the dress to Audenzia (1 star; Pre-request: Search the closet).
	+ Kaleb (curious): Audenzia, we looking around the changing room and we found that dress. Is that what you were looking for?
	+ Audenzia (smiling): Yes! That was the dress I asked Lord Amogus to hide for me!
	+ Kaleb (blushing): I don’t mean to be judgmental. But isn’t that dress too... revealing?
	+ Audenzia (awkward grin): I certainly wouldn’t wear it as an everyday-outfit. But considering we’re at an orgy, I believe it is appropriate for this occasion.
	+ Audenzia (blushing): Anyway, thank you so much for helping me out. Now would you mind if you could... leave?
	+ Kaleb (sweating): Course not. Marina, lets give the girl some privacy...
* Investigate the atrium.
	+ Kaleb (worried): Have you found the tickets? Or do you think got them back already?
	+ Kaleb (shocked): Oh! You think you found them?!
	+ Kaleb (disgusted): Oh shit, they’re soaked with wine! And it looks like whatever was printed on them has faded away!
	+ Kaleb (confused): How are we going to be sure they are for the lion match?! And I’m sure the Colosseum won’t accept them at this state!
	+ Kaleb (serious): We have to get our dusting kit out!
* Recover Colosseum tickets (1 star; Pre-request: Investigate the atrium).
	+ Kaleb (glad): So those tickets are for the Colosseum!
	+ Kaleb (concerned): But are they the real deal, though? What if they were forged and we could in trouble if we tried to enter with them?
	+ Kaleb (blushing): I know you may think I’m being paranoid, but something like that happened to me back at Cambright and my father had to bail me ou-
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; excited): Girls, look! The gladiators are here!
	+ Kaleb (shocked): The gladiators are here?!
	+ Kaleb (remembering): Ah, yes! I forgot! It’s common practice for nobles to invite gladiators to their orgies!
	+ Kaleb (awkward grin): Basically, they are lined up in a display and the guests would bid to spend a night with them. You can describe it as a form of prostitution...
	+ Kaleb (serious): If the gladiators are here, then the lacista must be here as well. We can have him verify whether the tickets are legitimate or not!
* Ask Flavian to inspect the tickets (1 star; Pre-request: Recover Colosseum tickets).
	+ Flavian (grinning): I think I saw you before. Aren’t you Marinus Patricius’s fair sister. That is the first time I see you without the company of you brother!
	+ Flavian (winking): But I don’t recognize the young man you’re with. You don’t happen to be her lover?
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I’m her... Slave.
	+ Flavian (pissed): So you have that well-trained man in your ranks, yet your brother decides to sell me a ch()nk! I’m almost starting to reconsider our arrangement!
	+ Flavian (grinning): But what have you come to see me for? Is the lady looking for someone to pleasure her?
	+ Kaleb (curious): We actually came to ask you if you could see those tickets.
	+ Kaleb (nervous grin): Someone.. Sold them to us for a hefty price, but now the lady is wondering if we had been conned. Would you mind to verify the authenticity of those tickets?
	+ Flavian (crossing his arms): So you purchased them from some rando at the streets? You’re not very wise as it seems...
	+ Flavian (serious): But I can gladly assure you that there’s nothing to worry about, the tickets you have are legit.
	+ Kaleb (relieved): Thank you for the verification, my lord!
	+ Kaleb (glad): Norah may not be here to show her the ticket. But once she gets back to us, she’s going to be delighted to hear the news!
	+ Kaleb (smirking): For now, I think we deserve to have a break. I’ll see you when the party’s over, have fun!

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view.**
Hours passed and everyone in the orgy gather around a circle...

* + Marionette (curious): Why is everyone gathering up here?
	+ Kaleb (thinking): I have no idea, but it looks like we’ve made it to the first row.
	+ Marionette (shocked): I see a few people carrying instruments, and look! Sussus is coming to the center, is he going to sing?
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): I hope not! His voice is already grating the way it is, the last thing I want to listen to is his singing voice!
	+ Sussus (welcoming): Ladies and gentlemen! Usually at that time in the night, we bring out a lady from the schola to sing for you..
	+ Sussus (crossing his arms): Unfortunately some unexpected events happened, that the lady I’ve appointed decided to make an exit...
	+ Sussus (grinning): So for that reason, we’re doing something different. I propose for any of you to come to the circle! Is there anyone kind enough to entertain us?
	+ Marionette (shocked): They want someone to sing for them! Should I volunteer?
	+ Kaleb (serious): Marionette! What Ancient song do you even know?
	+ Marionette (hand on hips): I don’t know? I could just sing anything and pass it off as my own!
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): You can argue with me all you will, but I’m here to have fun! I will volunteer-
	+ Audenzia’s voice (excited; raising her arms): ME! Pick me!
	+ Sussus (grinning): Are my ears fooling me, or did someone just volunteer!

Audenzia pushes herself through the crowd...

* + Crowd: Hey! Watch where you’re going!
	+ Audenzia (nervous grin): Sorry..

Audenzia makes it to the first row...

* + Audenzia (excited): I would like to sing to the crowd!
	+ Crowd: Isn’t that the child of the late emperor’s mistress?!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; shocked): Milady! I thought you said your sister isn’t going to come?!
	+ Claudilla (pissed): First of all, she is NOT my sister! And I have no idea what she’s doing here! My cousin forbade her from joining us!
	+ Claudilla (serious): He needs to hear about this!
	+ Sussus (grinning): Now isn’t it the lovely Audenzia Diodora. I will leave the stage to you, give us your best!
	+ Band (tuba player; serious): You heard the host! Lets start playing!
	+ Audenzia (nervous): ...

The band starts playing and at first Audenzia is nervous but she starts to sing...

* + Audenzia (singing shyly): All you people look at me like I'm a little girl. Well did you ever think it'd be okay for me to step into in this world...
	+ Audenzia (singing): Always saying little girl don't step into the club. Well I'm just tryin' to find out why ‘cause dancing's what I love.

Audenzia starts swaying her hips...

* + Audenzia (moving her hips): Get it get it get it get it whoa! Get it get it get it get it whoa! Get it get it get it get it whoa!
	+ Band (lute player; whooping): You’re doing great! Keep on what you’re doing!

Audenzia makes eye contact with Kaleb...

* + Kaleb (talking to himself): Am I imagining things, or is she staring at me?
	+ Audenzia (singing; touches her hair): I know I may come off quiet, may come off shy, but I feel like talking feel like dancing when I see this guy!
	+ Audenzia (singing; smiling): What's practical is logical, what the hell who cares? All I know is I'm so happy when you're dancing there!

Audenzia starts bellydancing...

* + Audenzia (bellydancing): I’m a slaaaaaaaaaaaaave for you! I cannot hold it. I cannot control it!
	+ Audenzia (bellydancing): I’m a slaaaaaaaaaaaaave for you! I won’t deny it! I’m not trying to hide it!

When she dances, the crowd gets wild...

* + Crowd (cheering): WOHOOOOOOOOOOO!
	+ Kaleb (sweating): I have to control myself! She’s only 18 and I am 23. I cannot fall for her!
	+ Audenzia (bellydancing): Babyyyyyyy! Don’t you want to, dance upon me? To another time and place.
	+ Audenzia (winking): Oh, baby! Don’t you want to, dance upon me? Leave behind my name and age...
	+ Kaleb (frustrated): Oh gods, this is all wrong! But I need to resist!

Meanwhile, Livius is having a conversation with the hostess...

* + Buttox (winking; holding a wine goblet): I have a niece who was recently widowed. She’s about 4 years your senior, but still a beauty and she’s intelligent like you. I was thinking maybe I could set up a blind date between you two?
	+ Livius (awkward grin): I appreciate your offer, La- I mean Auntie Buttox. But I’m actually already engaged.
	+ Buttox (shocked): Oh my! But I thought I came to the knowledge you’ve called off your engagement with that girl!
	+ Livius (blushing): I did. I’m speaking of another woman.
	+ Buttox (smiling): Well, that was a surprise! But whoever that woman is, I can tell she makes you happy! She must be a respectable woman of Rome!
	+ Carolus (eye rolling): A “woman of Rome” for sure...
	+ Claudilla (dramatic): Cousin Livius! You need to come right away!
	+ Livius (stumped): Claudilla, what’s goin on? Can’t you see that I’ve got company with me?
	+ Claudilla (shocked): I can see this, but it’s Audenzia! She’s exposing herself to the whole of Rome!
	+ Livius (shocked): She’s doing what?!
	+ Livius (pissed): Guards!
	+ Guards (Guard 1; saluting): Yes, your majesty!
	+ Livius (serious): Go to the crowd and look for Audenzia! And bring her straight to me!
	+ Guards (Guard 2; serious): Your wish is our command!

The guards push themselves between the crowd and catch Audenzia performing...

* + Audenzia (dancing): Get it get it get it get it whoa! Get it get it get it get it whoa! Get it get it get it get it whoa!
	+ Guards (Guard 1; grinning): Damn! I had no idea that girl has moves!
	+ Guards (Guard 2; pissed): FOCUS! The crown prince told us to fetch her, not wank off to her!
	+ Guards (Guard 2; serious): Lady Diodora, the crown prince is asking to see y-

Audenzia spots the guards and begins approaching them...

* + Audenzia (bellydancing): I really wanna dance tonight with you, I really wanna do what you want me to! I really wanna dance tonight with you, I really wanna do what you want me to!

Audenzia pushes chest onto one of the guards...

* + Audenzia (smiling): Babyyyyyyy! Don’t you want to, dance upon me? To another time and place.
	+ Guards (Guard 2; awkward grin): Milady... Uh... You’re getting a little too close...
	+ Audenzia (smirking): Oh, baby! Don’t you want to, dance upon me? Leave behind my name and age...

Carolus watches from afar...

* + Carolus (holding his head): Do I really have to do everything on my own? *sigh*

Carolus pushes himself through the crowd...

* + Audenzia (bellydancing): I’m a slaaaaaaaaaaaaave for you! I cannot hold it. I cannot control it! I’m a slaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
	+ Carolus (eye rolling): Alright young lady, I think that’s enough dancing for you!

Carolus picks her up...

* + Audenzia and Carolus (Audenzia; furious): HEY! Let me GO!
	+ Audenzia and Carolus (Carolus; whooping): Everyone, away! There’s nothing for you to see here!
	+ Crowd (displeased): Oh man! He really had to ruin the fun!
	+ Marionette (shocked): Where is he taking her?!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Probably to the emperor. She is DEFINITELY in trouble after this!
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): That is ridiculous! She was only dancing, I don’t what is wrong with tha-

SPILL!

* + Marionette (shocked; wine stain on dress): My dress!
	+ Buttox (shocked): I’m so so sorry! I wasn’t watching where I going!
	+ Marionette (looking at the stain): It’s okay, I think I can wipe it off...
	+ Marionette (covering her face): *sigh* Madelina is going to kill me.
	+ Buttox (nervous grin): I can make it up to you! I can have you burrow one of my dresses for the remainder of the party!
	+ Marionette (serious): I said it’s fine! I appreciate the offer, but it is not necessary!
	+ Buttox (smiling): Well, I insist! A lady shouldn’t be seen with a stained dress! Here, I’ll take you to my chamber!

At the patio...

* + Audenzia and Carolus (Audenzia; pissed): Let me go!
	+ Audenzia and Carolus (Carolus; annoyed): The crown prince only wishes to speak with you, there is nothing to fret about!
	+ Carolus (serious): He’s waiting for you outside, now go!
	+ Audenzia (pissed): Fuck you!

But despite her protest, Audenzia gives up and meets Livius outside...

* + Audenzia (nervous): Livius?
	+ Livius (crossing his arms): I do not want to fight with you. I talked to one of the carriage riders and I told him to return you to the palace and then come straight back!
	+ Audenzia (blushing): Can we at least... talk about it?
	+ Livius (angry): What is there to talk about? You’ve embarrassed me and the entire Imperial family back there!
	+ Audenzia (angry): Embarrassed YOU?! We were all having fun back there until you sent your guards after me!
	+ Audenzia (furious): You’re the one who embarrassed me! That was my chance to show the nobles what I have to offer, and you’ve ruined everything with your ego!
	+ Livius (covering his face): Why did you even come here? I told you to stay back at the palace! Why did you disobey me?
	+ Audenzia (tears of rage): Because I am not your wife! You don’t get to tell me I should and shouldn’t do!
	+ Livius (holding his head): So this is about Nebet, isn’t it?
	+ Livius (sympathetic): Audenzia, I’m sorry if my rejecting brought you any sorrow, but... Nebet and I are different. We love each other and if you were selfless, you wouldn’t try to drift us apart!
	+ Audenzia (pissed): Love?! Ha! You think she actually loves you?! She is USING you!
	+ Livius (crossing his arms): Audenzia, what exactly do you know about love?
	+ Audenzia (serious): What I know is that she has a lot to gain FROM YOU. You have to wake up and see her for what she is: An opportunist! What exactly do YOU gain from marrying her!
	+ Livius (determined): Her heart...
	+ Audenzia (crossing her arms): You’re pathetic.
	+ Livius (pissed): And you have to quit projecting yourself into her!
	+ Audenzia (shocked): Projecting?
	+ Livius (crossing his arms): I may be naive and I’m not proud, but I’m not a fool. I know your intentions: You want to marry me because you feel entitled for a place among the Imperial family.
	+ Livius (serious): A family that has no love for you. Do you expect me to believe you care for them? From an outsider perspective, it is clear you’re only hunting for powe-

SLAP!

* + Livius (startled): Ah!
	+ Audenzia (furious): You don’t know who I am! You can’t read my heart! I LOVE my family and you don’t get to decide if it’s true or not! I HATE YOU!
	+ Livius (apologetic): Audenzia, wait! I’m sorry...

At Incontinentia Buttox’s bedroom...

* + Buttox (smiling): There! How do you like the dress?
	+ Marionette (blushing): It’s nice... But I feel like it’s a little tall for me...
	+ Buttox (Oopsies): Oh! If you want, I could cut it shorter for you!
	+ Marionette (awkward grin): That would be unneeded, thank you! You don’t have to ruin your gowns just for one night!
	+ Buttox (smiling): If that’s okay with you, then enjo-
	+ Buttox (awkward grin): Actually... Would you mind doing me a favor?
	+ Marionette (curious): I don’t.
	+ Buttox (relieved; holding a condom): Good... Would it be okay if you hand this to my son?

Buttox hands Marionette a small sock-like object...

* + Marionette (confused): What is that?
	+ Buttox (awkward grin): Oh! Just a piece of animal skin...
	+ Marionette (disgusted): Animal skin?!
	+ Buttox (sweating): I would take it to him myself, but I do not want to make things awkward between us, so I hope you don’t mind giving it to him instead...
	+ Marionette (confused): Fine... I’ll go look for him...
	+ Buttox (winking): Thank you! I hope you two will have fun together!

At the atrium...

* + Marionette (crossing his arms): Where is Sussus, I can’t find him anywhere?
	+ Guards (Guard 2; blushing): Man, I didn’t that bastard girl would be so wild!
	+ Carolus (eye rolling): I almost feel bad stopping her performance. But obviously, Livius had to ruin all the fun!
	+ Guards (Guard 1; grinning; staring at Guard 2): My guy here was lucky and got to feel her boob-
	+ Marionette (blushing): Excuse me, Commander.
	+ Carolus (grinning): Ah, Lady Patricia! How could I serve you?
	+ Marionette (curious): I was wondering if you or your companions have seen the host?
	+ Marionette (thinking): His mother asked me to give this to him...
	+ Carolus (smiling): She asked you to give THAT to him?
	+ Guards (laughing): Ahahahahahahaha!
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): What’s funny?
	+ Carolus (holding his laughter): Forgive us, we forgot our manners...
	+ Carolus (serious): But you can find your host at his bedroom chambers!
	+ Marionette (courtesy): Thank you.
* Deliver the condom to Sussus (1 star)
	+ Marionette (whooping): Sussus! I have a package for you!
	+ Marionette (confused): Weird. No one is here...
	+ Marionette (thinking): I’m just gonna shut the door..

When she shuts the door, she finds Sussus hiding behind it...

* + Sussus (grinning): Looking for someone?
	+ Marionette (nervous grin): Lord Amogus! You surprised me! What were you doing behind the door?
	+ Sussus (grinning): I was waiting for you. You look gorgeous in this gown!
	+ Marionette (blushing): Thanks... Your mother let me burrow it. And speaking if her...
	+ Marionette (sweating): And speaking of her, she asked to give this to you...
	+ Sussus (startled): Ah!
	+ Marionette (curious): Is something wrong?
	+ Sussus (nervous grin; blushing): No... It’s just, I already have some of my own...

Sussus pulls out a sock similar looking to the one she’s holding but in a larger size. She eventually realizes what it is...

* + Marionette (blushing): Oh... Is there a girl in this room?
	+ Sussus (smirking): The only girl I see here is you...
	+ Marionette (awkward grin): Ah...

Marionette observes the size of the condom he’s holding and it satisfies her...

* + Marionette (seductive smirk): Lets do it.
	+ Sussus (grinning): You sure? You know I’m not looking for anything serious?
	+ Marionette (seductive grin): I know, and neither am I. I just want to suck your d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...
	+ Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!
	+ Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....
	+ Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Marionette....

* + Marionette (seductive smirk): -ck...
	+ Sussus (smiling): So upfront... I like it!

Marionette lays into his bed and Sussus gets on top of her...

* + Sussus (smirking): You ready?
	+ Marionette (grinning): Show me your worst!

Sussus slowly takes off his toga, surprising Marionette... With a 2 inch knob that he presented like a trophy!

* + Marionette (shocked): I-
	+ Sussus (proud): Yeah! You like that don’t you?
	+ Marionette (whispering to himself): I thought... He was going to be huge. Maybe I’m mistaken... Maybe he’s just soft...

Marionette puts it in her mouth.

* + Sussus (aroused): *moans*
	+ Marionette (whispering to herself): *sigh* It’s hard...

Marionette gets bored, so they change position and Sussus puts his small member into her backside...

* + Sussus (pushing hard): You like that? Huh? How does it feel?
	+ Marionette (bored): I feel... nothing.
	+ Sussus (sweating): I’ll try going deeper...
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): Actually, stop.
	+ Sussus (grinning): You don’t want me to stop?
	+ Marionette (pissed): No! I said stop!

Sussus obeys her and finally stops...

* + Sussus (winking): I see you can’t handle my monster d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...
	+ Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!
	+ Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....
	+ Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Sussus....

* + Sussus (winking): -ck. I can try to be gentler if that’s what you want?
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): Forget it! I’m out of here!
	+ Sussus (awkward grin): Should we meet again, in another night?
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): Goodbye!

After her horrible experience, Marionette goes out to have a drink...

* + Marionette (drinking): ...

Kaleb finds her and notices she was unhappy...

* + Kaleb (curious): How’s the night going for you?
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): Where do I even begin?

Marionette tells Kaleb everything that happened in Sussus’s bedroom...

* + Marionette (eye rolling): And he didn’t even go down on me! I was out after only two minutes, it was all that I could take!
	+ Kaleb (chuckling): Serves him right for being so arrogant!
	+ Marionette (curious): Sussus can be cocky, personality-wise, but why do you dislike him so badly? Even before you got to meet him..
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arm): I don’t hate him, I just hate that you were getting close to him...
	+ Marionette (blushing): Oh.
	+ Kaleb (serious): Marionette, I want you back!
	+ Marionette (covering her face): Kaleb, we talked about this-
	+ Kaleb (pissed): Have you found a man that pleasured you the way that I did? Marionette, you can deny it all you can, but I know you still love me!
	+ Kaleb (serious): You’re only playing this game because you’re bitter I chose Yvette over you and you’re trying to guilt me into burying her!
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): That... That is simply not true! Whatever spark we had between us, it’s gone! I am over you!
	+ Kaleb (eye rolling): Is that so? Then why haven’t you been with anyone else, since our breakup?
	+ Marionette (pissed): I literally just fucked a man a few minutes ago!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): And you didn’t enjoy it. You said it yourself.
	+ Marionette (eye rolling): You know what...
	+ Kaleb (confused): Where are you going?
	+ Marionette (pissed): I’m going to fuck someone, and I WILL enjoy it.
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Seriously, Marionette? You’re being immature! Come back here!

But Marionette gets up and heads toward the gladiators...

* + Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 2; blushing): That man looks cute!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 1; crossing her arms): He’s too short...
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): Not to mention, he’s Chinese. And heard how Chinese men are under the sheets!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (laughing): Hahahahahaha!
	+ Ming (holding his anger): Hmmm...
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): Well, that was rude...
	+ Flavian (wiping his head; flirtatious): Lady Patricia. Pleasure to see you again...
	+ Marionette (sweet smile): A pleasure to you too, Lord Lucretius...
	+ Flavian (grinning): You seem unoccupied tonight. I thought a lady like you would have several men on her tail. Or is there someone specific you would like to see?
	+ Marionette (curious): How much does it cost to spend a night with him?
	+ Flavian (confused): The ch()nk?!
	+ Marionette (serious): Yes.
	+ Flavian (blushing): Well... I didn’t a price on him, as I didn’t expect...
	+ Flavian (smiling): But you can have him for the price of a loaf of bread!
	+ Marionette (smirking): Thank you, that is very generous...
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 3; shocked): That foreign girl just paid for a night with the ch()nk!
	+ Claudilla (crossing her arms): Her standards must be really low. I envy her.
	+ Flavian (serious): Ming, come here! I’m sure you have met Lady Patricia before.
	+ Ming (serious): I have.
	+ Flavian (grinning): Well, I’ve got good news for you, you lucky bastard! The lady paid for a night with you!
	+ Ming (shocked): What?!
	+ Flavian (crossing his arms): And I want her to have a pleasant experience. So don’t disappoint her!

Kaleb watches from a distance...

* + Kaleb (shocked): She didn’t!
	+ Kaleb (whooping): Marina!

Kaleb follows Ming and Marionette until they reach one of the bedrooms...

* + Ming (nervous): Uh...
	+ Marionette (grinning): Don’t be shy, come in... I won’t hurt you...
	+ Ming (keeping on a brave face): ...

They both enter then shut the door...

* + Kaleb (pissed): Fuck! Why did I speak so soon?!
* Masturbate to Wu Ming (1 star).
	+ Marionette (serious): Sit.
	+ Ming (blushing): Are we going to do it on the chair?
	+ Marionette (curious): Do you want to sleep with me?
	+ Ming (sweating): You paid my boss, so-
	+ Marionette (serious): Truthfully.
	+ Ming (eye rolling): Do I even have a choice?
	+ Marionette (smiling): So just sit down, and lets talk.
	+ Ming (confused): Huh?

Ming sits on a chair, while Marionette lays on the bed. She flashes her privates to Ming and starts rubbing them...

* + Marionette (aroused): *moans*
	+ Ming (confused): Your ladyship?
	+ Marionette (breathing): Do not mind me. If you don’t like what you’re seeing, just look away and let us have a chat...
	+ Marionette (curious): So how did you get here?
	+ Ming (blushing): How did I get where?
	+ Marionette: How did you end up in Rome? You mentioned that someone dropped you here, which arose my curiosity. Did you regenerate here?
	+ Ming (crossing his arms): No. I was resurrected in a place a little far from here. I don’t know it names, but I don’t think it matters.
	+ Ming (covering his face): While I was there, I encountered a hunting party led by a goddess named Artemis. And one of the huntresses in the pack was my sister...
	+ Ming (serious): I was sent here as punishment for killing her! To live the rest of my life as a slave!
	+ Marionette (horrified): You killed your sister?!
	+ Ming (crossing his arms): I did, but do jot assume she was innocent. Many centuries ago she’s slayed my wife in the day of our wedding, along several of my family, including our parents and our siblings. I killed her to avenge all the souls she’s taken that day!
	+ Marionette (pissed): Your sister sounds like a monster!
	+ Ming (serious): She was, and my only regret for taking her life is the fact I didn’t get away with it.
	+ Marionette (aroused): *moans*
	+ Ming (blushing): Is it necessary for you to pleasure yourself while I am aroun-
	+ Marionette (curious): Flavian. How is he treating you?
	+ Ming (nervous): I’m being treated well. Much better than how Eusebius treated me, that’s for sure...
	+ Marionette (concerned): Is there something troubling you?
	+ Ming (blushing): N-no?
	+ Marionette (serious): I don’t like your tone. Tell me the truth!
	+ Ming (covering his face): *sigh* The lacista signed me up to fight the lion in tomorrow’s match...
	+ Marionette (shocked): Already?! But- You’ve only trained for two weeks! No way you are ready!
	+ Ming (nervous grin): I’ll be fine! If I live, there’s a chance I’ll be rewarded with freedom. And if I die... Then technically, that makes me a free man...
	+ Marionette (serious): Well, you are not going to die. We will not let that happen!
	+ Ming (confused): How exactly are you going to save me from being food to the lion?
	+ Marionette (crossing her arms): That lion you speak of, is actually a prince. Kaleb, Norah and I came here with the intention of freeing him and bring it to our nation, back to his wife!
	+ Marionette (serious): That’s why we were desperate to get to the Colosseum and I promise you that we’ll free him before you are forced to fight one another!
	+ Marionette (aroused): *moans*

Meanwhile, Kaleb is listening to her moaning from outside the door...

* + Kaleb (covering his face): No... I don’t want to listen. This is torture!
	+ Claudilla (blowing a kiss): Yohoo!
	+ Kaleb (startled): Ah!
	+ Kaleb (blushing; smiling): Lady Claudilla... It is you. Is there... Anyway I could serve you?
	+ Claudilla (innocent smirk): Not that I could think of. I’m just feeling a little lonely...
* Flirt with Claudilla (1 star).
	+ Kaleb (curious): Weren’t your ladies accompanying you the entire night?
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (giggling): Hehehe...
	+ Claudilla (pouting): Yes, but I was yearning for you! I hope we could maybe... Spent the night together. Your owners wouldn’t mind?
	+ Kaleb (shocked; blushing): N-n-no-
	+ Audenzia (crossing her arms): Claudilla!
	+ Claudilla (crossing her arms): What do you want? And I thought I told you to address me as “Milady” or are you forgetful?
	+ Audenzia (serious): Forgive me, milady. But are you forgetting you are engaged?
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): Have you not heard of the concept of minding your own business?
	+ Claudilla (grinning): Also it’s rich coming from you, after that show you put on earlier. I wonder how Livius felt about it...
	+ Audenzia (frowning): ...
	+ Claudilla (mocking): My bad! I forgot! He dumped you, whoops!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (laughing): Hahahahahahahahaha!
	+ Audenzia (tearful): ...

Audenzia runs to find somewhere else to cry...

* + Kaleb (shocked): Audenzia!
	+ Claudilla (seductive smirk): Now that SHE’S gone, why don’t we go look for a room together?
	+ Kaleb (pissed): And what gives you the illusion I wish to lay in bed with you?
	+ Claudilla (shocked): What?!-

Kaleb chases after Audenzia...

* + Claudilla (furious): Did he just- REJECT ME?!
	+ Ladies-in-waiting (Lady 1; awkward grin): Milady, there is nothing to be mad about. It is nothing but his loss...
	+ Claudilla (eye rolling): You’re right, I can’t believe I showed interest in a slave! I’m almost embarrassed for myself!

Kaleb chases Audenzia and sees her mounting a carriage...

* + Kaleb (shocked): AUDENZIA! Don’t go!

The carriage doesn’t move and Kaleb tries to entering it...

* + Rider (serious): Sir, no man is allowed in this carriage-
	+ Audenzia (tearful): It’s alright. Let him in...
	+ Rider (crossing his arms): If you wish so, my lady...

Kaleb enters the carriage and it starts moving...

* + Kaleb (sympathetic): Audenzia... Are you feeling alright?
	+ Audenzia (sad): Why did you come here? I thought you and Claudia... We’re going to make love.
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): She wanted us to, but...
	+ Kaleb (serious): I turned her down!
	+ Audenzia (shocked): Why?! I thought... I thought you liked her!
	+ Kaleb (sad): I did... She had the likeness of a woman I once loved, but...
	+ Audenzia (wiping her tears): But what?
	+ Kaleb (serious): Once I got to know her, I realized while she may look like my late love, but this is where the similarities end! She was more like her sister, a despicable woman with a heart of stone!
	+ Kaleb (pissed): Claudilla has no right to treat you the way she did! And I don’t know why you keep letting her walk all over you! Is that how you want to people to act with you?
	+ Audenzia (sad): No, but... She’s my sister, she and Livius are the only family I have left and I don’t want want to be abandoned by them!
	+ Kaleb (covering his face): Claudilla is NOT your family!
	+ Audenzia (tears of anger): SHE IS. I don’t care what the rumors say or who my mother have seen! I know the emperor is my father!
	+ Kaleb (serious): Audenzia, it appears me you don’t know what the concept of a family truly means!
	+ Kaleb (warm smile): Family is about feeling belonged. Your family is supposed to support you and love you no matter what hardships you face...
	+ Kaleb (serious): Claudilla is merely a blood relative. You don’t get to choose her, but you know who you get to choose? Your family!
	+ Audenzia (crying): ...
	+ Kaleb (sympathetic): Audenzia, don’t weep...
	+ Audenzia (wiping her tears): I’m sorry. I just feel really emotional right now...
	+ Kaleb (warm smile): Let me wipe your tears...

Kaleb wipes Audenzia’s tears and she begins to calm down...

* + Audenzia (calming down): ....
	+ Audenzia (smiling): ....

She starts sucking onto his thumb...

* + Kaleb (blushing): A-Audenzia...
	+ Audenzia (mischievous smile): Hehe...
	+ Audenzia (sweet smile): I’m sorry.. I just like it when you touch me...
	+ Kaleb (warm smile): You do?
	+ Audenzia (blushing): I don’t know this feeling... But I feel like, there’s something that makes me want to get close to you...
	+ Kaleb (smiling): Is it love?
	+ Audenzia (sweating): I-

Kaleb kisses her...

* + Kaleb and Audenzia (kissing): ...
	+ Audenzia (shocked): ...
	+ Kaleb (smirking): Did you like that?

Audenzia kisses him back...

* + Kaleb and Audenzia (kissing): ...
	+ Kaleb and Audenzia (Audenzia; blushing): Callicrates?
	+ Kaleb and Audenzia (Audenzia; passionate smile): I want you... All of you...

The two kiss again and soon the kiss escalates to them having sex...

* + Rider (eye rolling): *sigh* Kids these days...

Meanwhile at the palace, Nebet is in her chamber, looking at herself on the vanity mirror...

* + Nebet (holding her head): I need to tell Livius the truth...
	+ Nebet (sad): I don’t know if he’s going to marry after knowing it, but... He deserves to know...
	+ Nebet (holding her head): He doesn’t know what he’s getting himself int-

Suddenly the door of her chamber starts to open...

* + Nebet (worried): Oh no... Is that Carolus?!

The door opens wider.

* + Nebet (startled): AHHH!!!
	+ Livius (appeasing): Nebet! It’s okay! It’s just me...
	+ Nebet (relieved): You scared me! Please knock, next time you want to come inside!
	+ Livius (blushing): I promise you I will. I’m sorry...

Livius comes close to her and gives her a kiss...

* + Livius and Nebet (kissing): ...
	+ Nebet (nervous): ...
	+ Livius (thinking to himself): No reaction... Could it be possible what Audenzia is saying is true?
	+ Livius (thinking to himself): No! I know Nebet better, there is something clouding her mind!
	+ Livius (thinking to himself): I’ve got to ask her if she is okay... Perhaps she will tell me...
* Ask Nebet if she’s hiding something (1 star).
	+ Livius (concerned): Nebet, are you okay?
	+ Nebet (blushing): Everything is okay, but....
	+ Nebet (covering her face): There’s something I need to tell you...
	+ Livius (nervous); Is it about our engagement?
	+ Nebet (seriously): Yes, actually.
	+ Livius (sad): *sigh* If you want to call it off, then... I respect that, you are not obliged to accept my proposa-
	+ Nebet (holding her head): Livius, no! You are taking this the wrong way! I do not wish to call off our engagement!
	+ Nebet (serious): But there’s something you have to know before you marry me! I am a direct descendant of Cleopatra and Marcus Antonius!
	+ Livius (shocked): WHAT?!
	+ Livius (sweating): But this is impossible! All of Cleopatra’s children were killed! Augustus slew this all!
	+ Nebet (covering her face): He only slayed her oldest son- The one she had with Caesar. He spared the others, all died in childhood must one survived and continued Cleopatra’s legacy.
	+ Nebet (serious): My family hid our lineage, in fear that it could cost our lives. I only bring it up now because I trust you would keep my secret...
	+ Nebet (sad): And because you deserve to know, if you still wish to marry me...
	+ Livius (hesitant): ...
	+ Livius (frowning): How many people know about this, other than you and your sister?
	+ Nebet (blushing): Just you...
	+ Livius (relieved): Good...
	+ Nebet (worried): Livius... Do you... Do you still love me?
	+ Livius (warm smile): Of course. Do you think I care about what feud our families had thousands of years ago?
	+ Nebet (shocked): So... Are you certain you still want to marry me?
	+ Livius (passionate): I am, and I don’t care if my ancestors are looking down at me right no-

Nebet jumps at Livius and kisses him...

* + Nebet and Livius (kissing): ...

The kiss lasts one minute before they both pull back...

* + Nebet (sweet smile): And I am happy to hear this...
	+ Livius (blushing): Since you seem to be just fine. Then I guess I’ll return back to my room. Goodnight-
	+ Nebet (blushing): Livius...
	+ Livius (smiling): Yes?
	+ Nebet (curious): Was there another reason you came here. Other than to check on me?
	+ Livius (sweating): There actually is, but... I’m a little hesitant in asking it...
	+ Nebet (smiling): Just ask. Whatever it is, I’m sure it wouldn’t offend me..
	+ Livius (blushing): Well... I... um... I was wondering if you’d like to sleep with me!
	+ Nebet (shocked): Pardon?
	+ Livius (embarrassed): I didn’t mean it that way! I meant to ask... If you would like us to share a bed together!
	+ Livius (awkward grin): But if you want a separate room for yourself, then I’m willing to accept this arrangement!
	+ Nebet (chuckling): Hehehe...
	+ Livius (covering his face): I know, it was very impolite of me to ask, but... I was just curious-

Nebet gets down the floor...

* + Livius (startled): Nebet! What are you doing?!
	+ Nebet (smiling; blushing): Hehe...

Nebet puts her head down Livius’ toga and gives him a blowjob...

* + Livius (shocked): Hey!
	+ Livius (enjoying it): Okay... That actually feels good...
	+ Livius (aroused): *moans*

But after only one minute, Livius ejaculates into Nebet’s mouth...

* + Nebet (startled; Livius’ cum on her face): Ah!!!
	+ Livius (shocked): I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to-
	+ Livius (embarrassed): I’m going to leave your room! Again, I’m so so sorry!
	+ Nebet (wiping Livius’ cum off): Livius! Wait-

But Livius leaves the room from complete embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Norah is at the schola, taking shots with Discordia...

* + Discordia (drinking; laughing): Oh, Marinus! I’ve never met a man in Rome that entertains me the way you do!
	+ Norah (grinning): What do I have to say? I’m a charmer when it comes to the ladies.
	+ Discordia (smirking): And you have charmed me indeed...

Discordia leans toward Norah...

* + Discordia (smiling): Strip me...
	+ Norah (awkward grin): Pardon?
	+ Discordia (grinning): I want to fuck...
	+ Norah (blushing): Discordia...

Norah gets up from the sofa...

* + Norah (covering her face): I can’t do this...
	+ Discordia (laughing): What? Are you afraid I would kill you too?
	+ Norah (nervous grin): A little... But this is not my reasons...
	+ Norah (sweating): I didn’t say this, because I didn’t want people to see me as less of a man, but...
	+ Norah (blushing): I’m actually a eunuch...
	+ Discordia (yawning): Awww that sucks... Anyway, lets fuck!
	+ Norah (confused): You don’t mind?
	+ Discordia (laughing): Of course not! You don’t need a d-

The scene switches to Eva El Reina.....

* + Eva (twirling her hair): You got me spinnin’ like a ballerina...
	+ Eva (affectionate): You're the bad boy that I always dreamed of!
	+ Eva (seductive smirk): You're the king and, baby, I'm the queen of....
	+ Eva (singing): Disaster! Disaster! Oh Oh Oh! Oh Oh Oh-

Back to Discordia....

* + Discordia (laughing): -ck to pleasure a woman! All what you have to do is get down on me!
	+ Norah (grinning): If you say so...

Norah hops into Discordia and takes off her clothes...

* + Norah and Discordia (making out): ...

It was now Norah’s turn to take off her clothes, and for some reason Discordia became speechless...

* + Discordia (shocked): ...
	+ Norah (confused): Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you want me to go down on you?

Norah notices she’s looking at her chest, so she takes a peek and realizes the problem: Her boobs...

* + Norah (sweating): Oh...
	+ Norah (awkward grin): Discordia... I- I can explai-
	+ Discordia (screaming): AHHH!!!!
	+ Norah (blushing): Nope! I’m out of here!

And Norah runs out of the schola, topless, using her clothes to shield her chest...

Back at the palace...

* + Marionette (curious; holding Madelina’s dress): Shirley, do you think you’d be able to clean that dress?
	+ Shirley (thinking): I could try washing it tomorrow, but I don’t it’s possible to bring it back to how it was. Wine stains are really difficult to wipe off?
	+ Marionette (covering her face): That is what I feared... Madelina is going to be PISSED-

Suddenly someone barges into the room...

* + Marionette and Shirley (both startled): AH!!!
	+ Norah (shocked): Ah!
	+ Marionette and Shirley (Marionette; confused): Norah? Why are you-
	+ Norah (panicking): I am in very deep trouble!
	+ Marionette and Shirley (Marionette; concerned): What happened?
	+ Norah (blushing): It’s a long story, I don’t know where to start-
	+ Kaleb (confused): Norah! Where have you been and why are you bare-chested?!
	+ Norah (sweating): Nowhere!
	+ Kaleb (crossing his arms): Oh well... While you were at “nowhere”, Marionette and I stayed at the orgy...
	+ Kaleb (slight smirk): And we found three tickets to the Colosseum laying at the atrium!
	+ Norah (shocked): For real?! Are they legit?!
	+ Kaleb (confident): They are. The lacista himself confirmed it!
	+ Kaleb (serious): The match begins early morning and we need to be there before it gets flooded with visitors in order to free the lion. So I expect you all to sleep well! Goodnight!
	+ Norah (yawning): But I don’t... feel like sleeping... Ugh...

Everyone goes to bed. Kaleb and Norah quickly fall asleep but Marionette and Shirley stays awake...

* + Shirley (eyes wide open): ...
	+ Marionette (whispering to herself): She’s still awake...
	+ Marionette (thinking): She’s told us a lot about her life. But there are things I still don’t understand...
	+ Marionette (serious): Maybe I should try and have a chat with her..
* Chat with Shirley before you go to sleep (1 star).
	+ Marionette (whispering): Pst... Shirley...
	+ Shirley (curious): What is it, my lady?
	+ Marionette (pouting): Can’t sleep. What about you?
	+ Shirley (bored): Me neither...
	+ Marionette (innocent smirk): How about we chat, until one of us gets tired?
	+ Shirley (smiling): That sounds good to me! Is there anything you want to talk about?
	+ Marionette (blushing): Yeah... There are some things that didn’t add up about the story on how you left Rome, and I was wondering if you could help me understand it better...
	+ Shirley (blushing): Just tell me what is confusing you, and I’ll give you an explanation...
	+ Marionette (confused): What I’m most curious is how you even escaped Rome and survived for so long before finding Graecita. Were you alone in all this, or did you have someone that helped you out?
	+ Shirley (hesitant): ...
	+ Marionette (curious): Shirley?
	+ Shirley (nervous): I wasn’t alone... My husband was with me.
	+ Marionette (shocked): Husband?! How old are you again?!
	+ Shirley (serious): I an eighteen.
	+ Marionette (holding her head): How is that... Okay, I won’t judge...
	+ Marionette (concerned): But what happened to your husband? Did the Romans catch him? What did they do to him? Is he dead?
	+ Shirley (shocked): Oh no! My husband is perfectly fine. He is alive and well!
	+ Shirley (blushing): And he’s currently residing in Graecita...
	+ Marionette (shocked): You didn’t tell us there was another Roman in Graecita!
	+ Marionette (curious): Who is your husband?!
	+ Shirley (sweating): I... I can’t say his name...
	+ Marionette (confused): Why not? We’re not going to take him back to the Romans, you know that?
	+ Shirley (crossing her arms): I know, but still, I can’t give away his name.
	+ Shirley (serious): But I can tell you, is that he is a soldier!
	+ Marionette (thinking): A soldie-
	+ Marionette (blushing): Oh... That explains it...
	+ Marionette (yawning): It’s getting late. I think it’s best that we go to sleep right now. Goodnight!
	+ Shirley (closing her eyes): Night...

The girls fall asleep...

Meanwhile at Graecita, Zachary is outside the theatre waiting for Madelina to show up...

* + Zachary (impatient): It’s been 5 minutes and Madelina hasn’t shown up yet!
	+ Zachary (hopeful): Maybe she’s changed her mind! Maybe she doesn’t like me anymore!
	+ Zachary (glad): This means I can just go now and she won’t be mad for not showing up to our dat-

Suddenly a carriage arrives and drops Madelina to the theatre...

* + Driver (serious): Miss, we have arrived to your destination!
	+ Madelina (smiling): Thank you, here’s your money!
	+ Zachary (disappointed): Fuck...

Madelina approaches Zachary...

* + Madelina (blushing): Sorry for being late. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for long...
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): No problem. Lets just get in the theatre, the play has already started...
* Go on a date with Madelina (1 star).
	+ Madelina (pouting): It looks like all the good seats are taken. The only available are either far right or far left!
	+ Zachary (thinking): We should keep looking. Maybe we could find some better seats around he-
	+ Maverick (yawning): God, that play is boring already!
	+ Maverick (smirking): It’s a good thing I brought my amazing girlfriend with m-
	+ April (crossing her arms): Don’t. Touch me!
	+ Maverick (confused): What is up with you? You’ve acting pretty distant with me these past two weeks!
	+ April (eye rolling): Take a guess...
	+ Maverick (thinking): Hmmm... Is it that time of the month? Heard they could last up to 14 days?
	+ April (offended): What is it with men assuming women are in their period just because their mad at them?
	+ Maverick (shrugging his shoulders): So why are you angry then? Sorry, but I don’t play mind games.
	+ April (pissed): Ophelia told me you’ve been seeing others girl back at Italy!
	+ Maverick (eye rolling): So that’s what this is all about!
	+ Maverick (nervous grin): I don’t know what Ophelia told you, but I promise you I haven’t had sexual nor romantic relations with those women!
	+ Maverick (smirking): I was just showing off. You know how much I enjoy female attention! I wasn’t being serious when I was flirting with those hoes!
	+ Maverick (grinning): I have eyes only for one woman, and she’s the one sitting next to me!
	+ April (pissed): Why would you need attention from woman, when you already have a girlfriend?
	+ Maverick (shrugging his shoulders): You’re making this a bigger deal than it really is! It’s not like I was cheating on you!
	+ April (crossing her arms): It still counts! You’ve disrespected me when you flirted with those girls and I don’t want to talk to you admit you’re in the wrong!

Madelina sees Maverick...

* + Madelina (happy): Isn’t that Maverick?! And look, there’s two empty seats besides me! Why don’t we go sit next to him-
	+ Zachary (shocked): Madelina, stop!
	+ Zachary (serious): Do you see that girl sitting next to him? That is his girlfriend and it looks like the two of then are having a fight!
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): I think it would be better if they were left alone...
	+ Madelina (blushing): You’re right.. It looks like they really could use some privacy...
	+ Madelina (disappointed): Oh well... Lets just take one of the seats from the far left...
	+ Zachary (relieved): That was close... If Maverick sees me with Madelina, he would sure tell Mia all about it and blow it way out of proportion...

At the far left seats...

* + Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; sweating): Madrlina and Zachary aren’t here yet... Do you think they canceled their date?
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; hopeful): I hope so... If Mia sees them together, she is going to flip out!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; smiling): Hey! I think I see Yoyo and Ophelia over there!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; sweating): Me too. But I think we should leave them alo-
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; whooping): Yoyo! Ophelia!

Yoyo and Ophelia turn to see her...

* + Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; waving her arm): Hiiiiiiiiiii!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; worried): Oh shit! They’re here! What should we do?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; hopeless): Nothing. Lets just wave back to them...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (both waving): ...

Yoyo and Ophelia wave back...

* + Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; smiling): They saw us!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; covering his face): *sigh* Lets just watch the play...

The two watch the play together and to Zachary’s relieve, Madelina doesn’t make a move. The play goes over the one hour mark and reaches the part of the play where Cosette and Marius duet, and Mia is playing Eponine in the background...

* + Vivian (singing): Do I dream?
	+ Frances (singing): I’m awake!
	+ Vivian (singing): A heart of love.
	+ Mia (singing): He was never mine to lose...
	+ Frances (singing): A heart full of you.
	+ Mia (singing): Why regret what cannot be?
	+ Vivian (singing): A single look then I knew!
	+ Frances (singing): I knew it too!
	+ Mia (singing): These are words he'll never say. Not to me...
	+ Vivian (singing): From today.
	+ Mia (singing): Not to me...
	+ Frances (singing): Every day.
	+ Mia (singing): Not to me...
	+ Frances and Vivian (singing): For it isn't a dream. Not a dream after all!
	+ Frances and Vivian (kissing): ...
	+ Crowd (clapping): WOOHOO!!!
	+ Zachary (thinking to himself): It’s been a hour and Madelina didn’t try to make a move on me, maybe I could survive this night after all.
	+ Madelina (yawning): ...

Madelina leans on Zachary’s shoulder...

* + Zachary (startled): Ah!

Zachary leans away from her..

* + Madelina (shocked): Did I frighten you?!
	+ Zachary (nervous grin): No, you just took me by surprise, that’s all...
	+ Zachary (scratching his head): If you are feeling tired, then we can go and call it a day. You don’t have to watch the full play...
	+ Madelina (crossing his arms): Zachary, do you love me?
	+ Zachary (blushing): What? Why are you asking this?!
	+ Madelina (sad): Because you haven’t shown me any sign of affection and I feel like... You only agreed to go out with me because you didn’t have the heart to say ‘no’ to me.
	+ Zachary (regretful): ...
	+ Madelina (disappointed): *sigh* There’s an empty chair next to Yoyo and Ophelia, I’ll go and see if they’ll let me sit with the-

Zachary kisses Madelina...

* + Madelina and Zachary (kissing): ...

Mia catches the two kissing...

* + Mia (shocked): ...
	+ Mia (tearful): ...

Mia runs to the backstage.

* + Frances (shocked): Mia! Where are you going?! Your scene is up next-
	+ Frances (awkward grin): I’m afraid we have to stop here. We’ll come back to you once we settle this problem!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; confused): Why did Mia run out of the stag-
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shocked): Yoyo, look!
	+ Madelina and Zachary (kissing): ...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; concerned): Oh no! We have to see if she’s fine!

Madelina breaks the kiss.

* + Madelina (shocked): Zachary, stop!
	+ Zachary (hopeful): Did you not enjoy i-
	+ Madelina (shocked): It’s Mia! She’s gone, but her scene is up next!
	+ Zachary (sweating): Oh no...
	+ Madelina (concerned): Something bad must’ve happened. I’m going to go check if she is okay!
	+ Zachary (shocked): Madelina, don’t! You’re just going to make things-

But Madelina gets up and heads backstage...

* + Zachary (covering his face): -worse...
* See how Mia’s holding up (1 star; Pre-request: Go on a date with Madelina).

Yoyo and Ophelia go inside Mia’s room and find her crying...

* + Mia (crying): ...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): Mia, are you-
	+ Mia (pissed): You knew about this, didn’t you?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia: ...
	+ Mia (furious): Why didn’t you tell me?! Why did I have to find out this way?!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; regretful): ...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; eye rolling): Great job, genius! That’s what we get for building her hopes up!
	+ Hasuro and Frances (Frances; confused): Mia, what happened back there?! Why did you run out of the stage?!
	+ Mia (tearful): I’m sorry, it’s just...
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; sympathetic): She saw the man she loved kiss another woman...
	+ Hasuro and Frances (Frances; holding): Oh god... Do not start with this-

Suddenly they here a knock on the door...

* + Hasuro and Frances (Hasuro; serious): I’ll open this!

Hasuro opens the door.

* + Hasuro (curious): Hello?
	+ Hasuro (nervous grin): Oh, it’s you!
	+ Madelina (worried): I saw Mia run out of the stage! Is she okay?!
	+ Hasuro (sweating): She’s fine... It’s just... stage fright.
	+ Madelina (sympathetic): Aw poor her! Can I go in, maybe I can comfort her?
	+ Hasuro (blushing): I don’t think... I don’t think Mia wants you inside...
	+ Mia (wiping her tears): Hasuro, who are you talking to?
	+ Hasuro (nervous grin): Uh... Madelina-
	+ Mia (furious): Tell her to get OUT!
	+ Hasuro (blushing): You heard her...
	+ Madelina (disappointed): I forgot she does’nt really like me... Well, I hope that she gets fine...

Madelina heads back to where she came from.

* + Mia (holding her anger): First, she steals my man. And now she has the nerve to come and rub it on my face!
	+ Hasuro (sweating): Mia... I don’t think Madelina even knows you like Zachary...
	+ Mia (furious): Do you think that would matter to her?! She would do anything it takes to make my life miserable! I hate her!
	+ Frances (covering his face): Mia, I know that you’re feeling emotional right now, but...
	+ Frances (serious): We need you back at the stage! The play is going to fail without you!
	+ Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): Can’t you show a little sympathy?
	+ Mia (wiping her tears): Ophelia, it’s okay...
	+ Mia (determined): He’s right. I cannot like my personal problems get in the way of the play. Madelina is not worth my tears...

Mia walks into the stage where several people are waiting for her to sing...

* + Mia (wiping her tears): ...
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Madelina; happy): Look, Zachary! She’s back!

Mia makes eye contact with Zachary...

* + Mia (sad): ...
	+ Madelina and Zachary (Zachary; sad): ...
	+ Mia (tearful; singing): On my own... Pretending he's beside me...

Mia sings her heart out, feeling every single word of the song...
